My Spring Decor Picks

Filed Under: Projects, Springtime Decor

I don't know about you, but I am SO ready for spring. I can't complain too much because this has been the mildest weather since I've lived in Indiana... but this Texas girl loves her warm weather! ;) It has been in the 60's for about a week and the heat is off in the house, windows are open (when it's not raining), and I'm dreaming of nights spent out on the deck by a fire. There is something so beautiful about the start of spring...I think it's the feeling I have of a new beginning. We ... Read More about My Spring Decor Picks

INEXPENSIVE Faux Shiplap Wall Treatment

Filed Under: DIY, Entry, Makeovers, Projects, Tutorials, Wall Decor

Two years ago...before Fixer Upper and the shiplap craze, I added a faux shiplap to our entry way and we STILL love it. Lately, I've had a lot of friends asking about my method, so I thought it might be time to repost my tutorial. The materials for this project were very inexpensive and besides the time commitment, easily installed. Here's the original post from February 2014: I started this project back in September 2013. (Don't judge...I've had some obstacles! ;) ) Our entry wall is ... Read More about INEXPENSIVE Faux Shiplap Wall Treatment

I found it at local antique shop a few weeks and it really only needed ... Read More about EASY PEASY Dresser Makeover

Clean Eating | Chili

Filed Under: Quick Meals, Recipes

I mentioned a few weeks ago, that I'm really trying to eat "clean". If you aren't familiar with clean eating, let me explain... It's about eating more of the best/healthiest options in each of the food groups, less of the not-so-healthy ones, and removing the preservatives and "fake" food that our body doesn't know how to digest. I haven't completely given up all the junk but I'm making small steps to remove processed foods and additives from my diet. One of the easiest ways I am removing ...

Mess Related Stress |Home Office Organization

Filed Under: Household cleaning, Office, Organization

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I am trying to get my house AND life in order. Having less and living simply is where I'm starting...at least that's the goal. One area of my home that can get messy quickly (besides the kitchen, that's a whole other animal) is my office. How many times have you walked into your home office only to cringe, turn around, and walk out? I do it ALL THE TIME. If you spend more time thinking up reasons to avoid your office than actually working in it, you may ... Read More about Mess Related Stress |Home Office Organization
