I love flowers. Ranunculus’ specifically. They are very rare and hard to come by- I think that's why I love them. When my husband and I moved into our first house on Bernard Avenue, I couldn’t wait to plant flowers in my front yard. So the first moment I had, I ran over to Fred … Continue reading your garden
If I had the option to shop at a retail store or a thrift store, hands down I'd choose a thrift store. It's the rescue portion that thrills me. There's a mystery that envelopes me when I stroll through the aisles. The "not knowing" of what I might discover gets my heart a-racing. (I now … Continue reading my top 10 thrifting list
Well, we did it. We finally installed shiplap in our fixer upper. It's been "in the plans" for some time, but one thing has held us back from pulling the trigger. It's FREAKING EXPENSIVE! If you're not privileged enough to live in Texas, and have "real" shiplap, than buying it is a pretty penny (or … Continue reading shiplap yo self
Here I am again, e'reone! I hope you were able to squeeze some sort of inspiration from yesterday's post. If you missed it, you can catch up here. Now let's dive in to the next two projects, shall we 🙂 One of my few talents (ahem) is garbage picking. I'm not sure why I love … Continue reading decorating for free- part 2
OK, I know that most of you are thinking "nothing is free". Of course I don't technically mean "free" like someone gifted me everything to decorate with. (Although that would be awesome.) What I am talking about is my FAVORITE kind of decorating....the decorating where you use stuff you already own- and whether you're just … Continue reading decorating for free

Get ready for 47 pictures 🙂 I've added the resource list at end of this post. … Continue reading the white kitchen
It's been a while, yo. But to my defense, soccer started for all THREE of my kiddos and yours truly is coaching Izzy's team this year. Oh- and I had jury duty too. Mmmmhhhmmmmm. That's where I been. So, in my last post, some walls came down and the walk-in pantry had been started. Below … Continue reading kitchen update
Good news! We are making progress in the kitchen...even though it still "looks" the same. My farmhouse sink arrived last week, HALLELUJAH! (Confession: I sit out in the garage just to stare at it. Don't judge me.) And we ordered the counters yesterday which was the biggest part of this process. After shopping around, we … Continue reading the kitchen pantry
Around 6 months ago, before we moved, I revamped Izzy’s room. Yeah, I know. Well, the WHOLE truth would be that my husband painted, moved stuff around and hung curtains, but I made everything pretty. That counts, right? Anyway, she had pretty pale pink walls, a queen four post bed with a beautiful armoire for … Continue reading Izzy’s Room
Seriously though. I'm a garbage picker. And gosh darn't, I'm proud of it. If I were to take you on a tour of my house, it would consist of me pointing and saying, "I got that for free....I garbage-picked that....I found that for free on Craigslist...." I'm a sucker for all things FREE and my … Continue reading I garbage-pick- what’s your superpower?
