Here's another playhouse hack from us! We saw this playhouse at Costco and figured it was time for an upgrade. The kids were outgrowing the first playhouse we redid and to be honest we were a little excited for a new project. We paid $499.00 but the following week it went on sale for $299.00 [...]
This bay window makeover was one of the biggest projects that we have ever done together and one that we are the most proud of. Cody has this incredible ability to build pretty much anything I come up with in my head and he always nails it. This is exactly what I had envisioned when [...]
I got a lot of questions and comments about the little fairy garden we put together this past weekend so I thought I'd do a quick blog post with all the details. My Mother-in-law bought all the little fairy garden accessories from Michaels but I will link the rest at the bottom. First, we filled [...]
This chair was one of my favorite Goodwill finds to date. It is gorgeous as-is but the color didn't work for where I wanted it to go, so I decided to paint it. First, I cleaned it really well with a mixture of water and dish soap. I found this blog post helpful. Then I [...]
This playhouse hack was one of my favorite projects that we have done. It took us a while to finish it because of the holidays and birthdays, but we finally got it done! We purchased this Backyard Discovery Timberlake Cedar Wooden Playhouse from Walmart when it was on sale for $159. For the paint, we [...]
It's my birthday! So I wanted to share some of my favorite things with you. Keep in mind some of these things are splurges but hey, sometimes you just have to treat yourself! Also, most of these shops have some pretty great sales throughout the year so watch out for those. 1. First, this is [...]
First, before I begin here is the before and after of the IKEA Sinnerlig Pendant lamp. I stumbled across this light fixture at IKEA and I loved the look and the price but I wasn't sure how the color would look with the rest of our bedroom furniture. But, for $69.99 I figured I would take [...]
1. This 24 inch wreath was only $9.97 at Walmart! Leave it as is or dress it up with ribbon and a bow. This is one of my favorite finds for under $10 this year! 2. Target dollar section. I'm obsessed. If you've never checked it out before do it now! How cute are these [...]
This year we hosted our first Friendsgiving in our home. We just recently had our backyard done so that means bring on the hosting! I have a pretty talented husband so when I said that I needed a table big enough to fit 12 he got right on it. He built this beautiful 10ft table […]
Our most recent family photos done by a very talented friend of mine. This photo shoot is probably my favorite one so far. It was not only Cruz's first photoshoot with the family but it was in our home and doing something we love to do together, baking. (Photo Credit: Anneliese Weisgerber)
