Simple Kitchen Update / A Gut Job Isn’t Always Necessary

"These things take time." A popular quote I am all too familiar with, especially when it comes to anything home renovation. In the case of our recent simple kitchen update, I prefer, "Good things come to those who wait." A few years ago, we took the plunge and painted our existing oak cabinets white.  You can read about the process and products we used here.  I haven't regretted that decision one second.  Paint is magic, and that single change made a huge impact in how our kitchen looked.  ...

Ten Fall Tablescape Combinations

A recent poll I posted in Instagram stories provided a good mix of neutral lovers, those that prefer a traditional color palette, and a few of us who like a sprinkle of our favorite color mixed in. I, myself, am team neutral with a sprinkle of blush. However, I give high regard to those who display traditional fall colors well. With that being said, I had a marvelous time creating ten fall tablescape combinations using both traditional and non-traditional colors. Ten Fall Tablescape ... View Post

The Marilyn Monroe™ Area Rug Review / By Unique Loom

If you are a regular visitor on my social channels, no doubt you caught the debut of my new Marilyn Monroe ™ Rug sold by Unique Loom on Wayfair. It's by far my new favorite rug. Unique Loom was smart when they named this incredibly soft shag rug after the glamorous and iconic, Marilyn Monroe™. The minute I laid eyes on it, I was captivated, and that was just via a thumbnail on the internet. Imagine my reaction when this beauty showed up and presented itself as everything and more than I ... View Post

Brooks II Double Bowl Fireclay Sink Review | Sinkology

Friends, I am so excited to share a sneak peek of our new farmhouse kitchen sink from Sinkology! When we set out for new countertops, I knew I wanted to accompany them with an apron sink. I have been ogling and ogling over them for years, so it's hard to believe this bodacious beauty is in MY kitchen!! We went with the Brooks II double bowl fireclay sink from Sinkology, and I had lots of opinions thrown my way regarding a double verses single bowl selection. Big thank you to Sinkology for ...

Small Kitchen Refresh | Mood Board

Friends, I am sooo excited to finally reveal the selections I have chosen for our small kitchen refresh!  This project is moving along a little slower than I anticipated, so in an effort to keep you up to date, I put together a mood board of my selections. Our kitchen has undergone small updates in the last twenty years, but none will compare to the facelift it's about to receive.  I have said over and over that paint is magic, and it is... but this small kitchen refresh goes beyond the ...

Better Night Sleep | My Search for the Perfect Mattress is Over

A Better Night Sleep There's nothing worse than a restless night that doesn't seem to end, am I right?  Lack of sleep through the night makes for a rough day. These two scenarios can lead to an ugly cycle. Stress, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy, and general aches and pains are just a handful of reasons everyday folk struggle getting a good night's rest. For me, stress and a temperamental lower back are the usual culprits. I'm not here with a magical cure-all to share, but I can attest to a ... View Post

How To Maximize Space in your Studio Apartment

When we began the "apartment search" with our oldest daughter, I hadn't given any thought to studio life.  When I think of a studio apartment, I think of New York City or Chicago.  I guess because they are both big cities, and in order to maximize the amount of people they have, one room abodes are the norm.  Well, to our surprise, our daughter is now the proud resident of her very own studio apartment!  I have to admit, I could live quite contently in her charming digs myself.  In this post, I ...

Together We Can Help Unlock a Family’s Future

I was shocked to learn recently that a full-time employee making minimum wage often cannot afford a one-bedroom apartment in the U.S. Half or more of 1-6 family'-s' income is used to pay rent or a mortgage. Too often, there is a hard choice of whether or not to buy healthy food, pay for housing, transportation, and/or life-saving medicine. Together we can help provide keys that will unlock a brighter future for millions of people. I am honored to help raise awareness along side Habitat ... View Post
