We have a spot above our stairs, across from our landing that was empty. It needed something, but we didn't feel like endangering our lives trying to put up an elaborate arrangement. We also weren't in the mood to spend much money. The husband used some left over two by two's to craft a quick little frame. Then we stapled a shower curtain to the frame. We instantly had a huge piece of art for very little money. Easy, peasy. There are so many fun shower curtains out there. If ...

Wedding Card Box
Now that we are heading into wedding season, I am sure there are a ton of brides working out the details to their big day. I know when my sister was at the bitter end, she was scrambling to work out a few. One of those was a card box.

Here is shot of the closet door knob before. Yikes! Yeah, apparently at some point we got paint on our closet ...
Living With Kids and Their Stuff
One of the biggest changes that comes with life with kids is the stuff. If you have kids, you probably realized that about five seconds into your baby shower.

It just gets replaced by more stuff! You can edit and minimize, but that will only get you so far. Especially when we have Quinn who is three and wants to ...
And It All Comes Together…
We have been working on turning our living room into an expression of us. We started with the neutralization process. We tore up the carpeting and had our hardwood floors refinished. Instantly fresh! Then we finally splurged on a new couch in a lovely neutral (Pottery Barn- Pearce Sectional). Finally, we put up a coat of fresh paint (Glass Slipper by Benjamin Moore). Now that our space was neutralized it was time to start adding some personality. We are young. We are fun. We have little ones. ...
