Painting Windows Using a Mask and Peel
I know we're already juggling so many projects right now but with my parents visiting and Chris's parents visiting immediately after, we've been spending a bit of time in the guest house.

Mother's Day Gift Guide 2022
My mom is coming for Mother's Day this year which feels extra special. It's kind of fun because Mother's Day and Father's Day are about six months away from my birthday and Chris's birthday, so it feels like an extra "thinking of you" day, and we both really like that. For this gift guide I […]

Major spoiler alert! Because the home gym is just a quick phase one, it's nearly finished. It's been painted a couple fresh coats of white flour (bye, bye burnt orange), the ceiling fan is hung, and we're well on our way to being finished. Promise you'll get a closer look at that pretty ceiling fan […]

In case you're new here, I wear sneakers 24/7/365. I'm a sucker for them, and I know it might trigger some, but I wear them in-house. My feet get tired without them, plus with all the in-house construction it would be a safety hazard to go without! So I'm a sneaker gal and now that […]
