Casual Friday: Best of September, Propertee Fall launch and Monthly Favorites!
This month we shared our favorite fall candles, and shared Andi's budget kitchen makeover, and finally made the list of our favorite house-warming gifts. We gave the family room a dramatic makeover and now we hang out down there ALL the time. We laid peel and stick floor tile, and ogled over our finished stone […]

How To: Laying Peel and Stick Tile over the Bathroom Floor!
We have been doing a quick phase 1 renovation of the girls' bathroom (read more about the plans here!) over the last week and it's coming along so well! We painted the countertops last week using the same countertop paint (and color--Putty!) as we used in our kitchen in our first house nearly a decade […]

Hanging Ceiling Mount Curtains in the Dining Room
I did something in the dining room and it kind of changed everything. A few weeks ago, we hung some art on either side of the arched door and it filled in the space fine, but it actually sparked a different idea--a better idea. Why don't we hang curtains on that wall?! And so we […]

How I create a Home Color Palette + All the paint colors in our home so far
I feel like I've been painting non-stop for a year, to be honest. And when I think about what's next to be painted, I always think about what is already painted, what color and where. And then I try to tie it in in other areas of the house so everything speaks to each other. […]

The Little Girls' Bathroom Phase 1 Plans!
The little girls' bathroom was not on our radar this year. Not because it didn't need attention, but because it's honestly the perfect size for our little girls (6 and 3) with an extra short countertop and toilet--even our 3 year old can reach the faucet! We knew, given our height and the height of […]

How to Make Mulled (Spiced) Apple Cider
If my honey & mint lemonade is my warm-weather drink, then spiced apple cider is definitely my cold weather drink. Not only for the warmth and flavor, but the aroma it sends through the house is out of bounds. Mulling cider is super easy, and will make any fall gathering, no matter how small, feel […]

Casual Friday: Stripping a room to decorate another, my new A+ hair tool, the girls' office, a meme to send to everyone, and more!
I haven't shared the girls' office here since we painted all the trim (check out that post here!) But since then, the wallpaper has been installed, we hung wall sconces, their oversized pinboard that will soon be filled to the brim with their creations (I added this pennant to get them started) and we moved […]

Truth be told, there are a handful of spaces in our house that don't get as much camera time right now...or ever. Because we haven't […]

And over the years I've fostered this love every fall by buying boxes of peaches, freezing them, and using them all within a month on making peach […]
