We had a bookshelf we inherited waiting to be painted, chalkboards hanging above a console because we had them and random stuff sitting on the console because that is what clean surfaces are for. My pillow covers were clashing with my carpet (online ordering error) and there were nail holes in desperate need of a patch and paint job. Last weekend I we put a little elbow grease in and around $100. I repotted a plant that desperately needed it and bought a basket at TJ maxx for $16 for the ...
Living Room
Bookshelf, Globes & Plans
It has probably been close to six months since I got this hand-me-down bookshelf/cabinet. I was waiting for better weather to haul it outside and give it a paint job. Better weather has officially come and it is still sitting there. Hopefully by the end of the summer we will get it painted. I was thinking white, with a fun color back and some fresh new hardware. Also, not crazy about the current location (old picture, but you get the point). I really think the shelf should go ...
Living Room, Insta, Globes & Home Visits
Our living room is decorated with my thrift store globes and a DIY Instagram frame I made from a thrifted frame. I snapped these pictures forever ago.

Our Living Room The TV moved, but the Instagram frame stayed. The credenza with the basket ...

When we finished moving things all around I said to my husband, "what do you think?". His response, "Feels like 2014". And it does, because this room has been set up like this before. There are some slight variations. The beauty of rearranging furniture is you clean places you do not normally clean and ...
Things I Failed to Blog
As I am sharing pictures here and there, I am realizing there are things I never blogged about. Little updates and tweaks here and there--Like the addition of this wall mounted lamp to our TV gallery wall -- that I never told you about. That little addition not only added light, but freed up some space on the console for my Scentsy warmer and a wood bowl to hold all the remotes. Maybe I mentioned the new rug? It felt super risky to buy a patterned rug, but I love how it looks. ...
