Yay, I finally decorated my entryway! It’s been awhile since I shared a home decor post. Since owning this home for a little over two years, I’ve learned that decorating is a long, drawn-out process because it’s expensive! It takes me forever because I’m indecisive and cheap. The good news is that I’m patient and […]
Light ’em up

I can officially say that the halls have been decked at this house! This will be our second Christmas in our home and already I’m getting a sense of the traditions that will be a part of A&Z’s childhood memories. Last weekend we put up the outdoor lights and this weekend we decorated indoors and […]

If you saw me sulking, crying, or just flat-out bummed this summer it was because we were going through major patio reno-drama. It was a nightmare to say the least. Ugh. It all started back in…

Finally, we had a beautiful day and it was a perfect for hittin’ up garage sales! I love going to garage sales because as the wise Macklemore says, “One man’s trash, that’s another man’s come-up!” Lucky for me, I there was a community garage sale nearby where I scored tons of fabulous finds for a […]

May 28, 2013 by 6 Comments
I have major ADD when it comes to my home decorating projects. I start these projects in my head, get inspiration from Pinterest, start the project, blog about it, then never finish or do a follow-up post. By then, I’m off to my next greatest DIY or home decorating endeavor. For example, I previously posted […]
E-Unit [In-progress]
April 12, 2013 by 1 Comment
Our family room got a major update: We got a new entertainment unit! Previously, our TV stood on Arielle’s Ikea bookshelf that we brought from our old house. This is all we had for the past 8 months to prop up our TV and keep my giraffe friend company. Awkward! We got our new entertainment […]

Arielle’s Little Girl Room: Part 1
December 22, 2012 by 4 Comments
For Arielle’s room, I wanted to go for a pink and grey color scheme: We haven’t started painting yet, but we started to collect accessories and furniture from thrift stores and the Sample Store. I think the key to collecting things along the way is to keep in mind the overall theme you’re trying to […]
Our First Real Christmas Tree
December 3, 2012 by 2 Comments
Having kids means I get to recreate my beloved childhood holiday memories for my own kids. Having a real Christmas tree in our home is definitely one of them! I just remember the sweet smell of the fresh tree, how it stood so proudly in the middle of our living room with all the presents […]
Crystal Chandelier in Master Bedroom

I wish I could do all the decorating for one room in a weekend and have a single blog post on the BIG REVEAL when I’m done. After 3 months of living in our new home, I realized that that’s not going to happen. Furniture plus all the accessories needed to fill just one room […]
