    IKEA Farmhouse Finds!

    Wednesday, July 19, 2017


    Please note that I am not sponsored in any way by Ikea. All thoughts and opinions are my own!

    Not too long ago {R} and I visited Ikea on a mission for a Jute Rug. Well, anyone who has been to Ikea must know that it is nearly impossible to leave the store with just one thing (and without stopping for an ice cream cone on the way out). Since we recently went from two incomes to one we have definitely been on a tight budget so I really had to keep myself in check every time I wanted to throw something in the cart (it was hard). I did, however, make a wish list for future shopping trips. Then, I realized how fun it would be to share my favorite Ikea buys/finds with you with a twist! I've rounded up my top 20 favorite Ikea farmhouse finds!

      Powder Room Reveal

      Monday, July 17, 2017


      It's time for some potty talk! That's right- it's powder room reveal day and I have never been so excited to spend time in a bathroom in my life 😜!

      I am not sure why it took me so long to update this room because A. I have wanted to paint it since the day we moved in and B. It's a small space so there is no excuse as to why I wasn't able to find the time. Luckily, the previous owners of this home, who just so happened to build it, had great taste and chose a classic pedestal vanity and chrome light fixture that I didn't feel needed to be changed. However, I am just not a fan of the red paint on the walls. I feel like you either love red or you hate it (or maybe i'm just making stuff up). Either way, it was time to make a change! I challenged myself to makeover this room for less than $100 and I'm happy to report I was successful.

      Woodland Nursery

      Thursday, July 13, 2017


      It is absolutely crazy how much can change in a year! My life has been turned completely upside down in the most amazing way! I think it's pretty obvious by the title of this post that {R} and I welcomed a new member to our family, a perfect baby boy named Hudson😊! I could write an entire post about how much Motherhood has changed my life in the most amazing way [and maybe I will!] but today is all about Hudson's nursery.

        Powder Room Mood Board

        Monday, July 10, 2017

        Well, hello there! I'm baaaack! I know, I know... I've said that too many times to count but this time I hope it's for real. Let's just call this past year my 'maternity leave' 😆 It's true that I did have a baby this past March (that is a post for another day) but it is no excuse for being gone so long. Without a long drawn out explanation, priorities shifted and I didn't feel that I had the time to commit to anything other than baby preparation. Anyway, I'm jumping right back in!

        I was hoping to come back with a beautiful nursery tour but I have not had the LO's room in photo ready condition since before he was born (I know, I know- I should have done the photo shoot when I had the chance and I promise that I will share a nursery tour as soon as I can find the time to photograph it). Instead, I am going to take baby steps (pun intended) back into this whole 'blogging' thing and start with a mood board. 

        Since moving into our new house there have been a few minor changes I've wanted to make. Painting our main floor powder room was first on my list. Fast forward to today- nearly a year and a half later- and the powder room is exactly as it was when we moved in. Well, the time has come to get rid of this red room of pain (pain to my eyes at least 😂😂). See below for my 'mood board', or in laymen's terms- an inspiration board, for everything I am looking to do. Oh, major kicker here- I am hoping to keep this make-over under $100! 😁

        Confessions of a Home Decor Trend Follower

        Thursday, May 26, 2016

        I know I am not the only one who follows trends. I mean, helllloooo, isn't that the reason we have trend setters (and Instagram)? I am here to tell you you're not alone!

        Semi-DIY Cinema Marquee Sign

        Tuesday, May 24, 2016


        Hi there! So excited to share a recent project that we completed for our theater room (still can't believe I can say that...). I call this semi-DIY because I realize that I didn't actually create the individual marquee letters- but I had the idea to turn them into a 'Cinema' sign! I am also giving a tutorial on hanging letters (or anything) on the wall without making a bunch of holes (although that did accidentally happen to me...keep reading to find out).

        Splurge vs. Steal

        Tuesday, May 17, 2016



        It has been a little over a month since moving into our new home and my shopping wish list continues to grow. My goal is to allow myself one big purchase a month. Unfortunately, my budget for the next couple of months was eaten up by an unexpected purchase of a new sump pump and all new carpet for the basement (sad face). You see, last Thursday our sump pump simply stopped working and after a heavy rain our entire basement flooded (ugly cry face). More on that debacle later.

        Happy New Year!

        I can't believe it is already a new year (and two weeks in at that!) After a six month hiatus from {R&R} I am back with big ideas! And what a perfect time as we ring in the New Year!

        My Mexi-Cation

        Saturday, August 22, 2015

        If you've been wondering where I have been this past week (aka why I haven't posted any DIY projects) it is because I just got back from an amazing trip to Mexico to visit my sister in San Cristobal de las Casas!

        DIY Gold Foil Leaf Wall Art

        Tuesday, August 11, 2015



        I am sure everyone has seen these prints in some form or another by now that say 'Hello There Handsome' and 'Good Morning Gorgeous'. Well, I decided these would be the perfect addition to my master bedroom's gallery wall that I was creating. However, I searched and searched for prints to buy online and really could not find anything I liked (enter DIY goddess) so I made my own!

        This project definitely wasn't without it's fair share of trial and error epic failures, which I have documented in this post. Overall, I am pleased with the final product and excited to share it with you!

        DIY Pom Pom Trim Curtains

        Friday, August 7, 2015



        In last week's DIY post I showed you how I created my West Elm Inspired Curtain Rods. This week we are finally going to dress them with some DIY Pom Pom curtains!

        That's right... I'm back with more DIY curtains! And these were much easier than the last with a big impact!

        I first started seeing this pom pom trend in fashion and then I literally just had this idea to add pom pom trim to some basic curtains (no joke... sometimes I come up with things before I see them via Pinterest) so naturally I had to join in this totally fun trend!

        Side note: If you're looking for ways to add this trend to your home check out {R} Favorites Friday which features all things pom-poms and tassels.

        Let's get started!

        DIY Gift Bag Wall Art [+Gold Corner Frame]

        Tuesday, August 4, 2015



        Hi! I am so so SO excited to share one of my most creative DIY projects yet!

        Back story: The other day my co-workers and I decided a trip to Target over lunch was just what was needed (Target is my 'happy place'). As I was walking through the aisles this gift bag caught my eye. Immediately I knew I had to buy it and find a way to transform it.

        Mood Board- Open Shelving

        Saturday, August 1, 2015

        This is my first attempt at an Inspiration post or a 'mood board'. You see, I've been thinking dreaming about a kitchen with all open shelving. As surprising as it sounds my kitchen is one of the places I am the most organized (not on purpose I might add... I just have to be in such a small space) so I feel like I could get away with it. My plan scheme is to convert only one of my cabinets to open shelving which I am thinking of adding above our 'coffee' station.


        So here goes nothing!
