The time was approaching…my baby girl was getting bigger and we would no longer need the crib anymore….NOOOOOOO! 😩 I wasn’t reeeaaaddyyyy! I also wasn’t ready to shove out big bucks for a new big girl bed either. We didn’t do the toddler bed progression with my oldest daughter. She went from the crib to… Continue reading DIY Reclaimed Wood Inspired Queen Bed
I was inspired one day to refresh my girls’ playroom. They were spending the weekend at memaw and papas’ house (my parents), so it was the perfect time to do it uninterrupted. And let’s face it, I was kinda bored without them home anyway. (See the full refresh with before and after pictures here). A… Continue reading DIY Wood Wall Art
I decided to refresh the playroom because the toys and things were taking over every room in the house. It was driving me insane! And plus, it was just time for an update. This is what it looked for a few years. It doubled as another sitting room and a playroom. This phase worked for… Continue reading Playroom Refresh
It’s almost the end of October and I’m still (slowly) decorating the house for fall. I figured we’re only a few weeks into fall, so I have at least another month and a half, right?

So in addition to the porch couch I built, I decided I wanted 2 big planter boxes to go on either side of our front door. I wanted them before fall to use them for… Continue reading DIY Tapered Cedar Planter Boxes
Succulents are one of my favorite plants to have around the house. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much luck keeping them alive in the past. The main reason for this is because I’d never really knew how they like to be treated. I figured they were just like any other plant I’ve had in our home.… Continue reading Succulent Love
I tried my luck with succulents before and, well, let’s just say I wasn’t so lucky…r.i.p. to those sweet babies. I was determined to get it right this time. So, I did my research on many blogs, websites, and any info I could find about the proper way to plant and care for succulents. Almost… Continue reading Planting and Caring for Succulents
After I built my wooden window cornices for our kitchen nook, I had plenty of scrap wood leftover. I used some of it to build another cornice for my baby girl’s nursery and more to build a couple of planter boxes for my succulents. I mirrored the planter boxes I made for my oldest… Continue reading Succulent Planter Boxes
