I will admit I was a little insistent on a few "must-haves" when we were building our home. One of the items on my wish list was a big 'ole wrap around front porch. You know, the kind you see on old authentic farmhouses with porch swings and sweet tea. That thought gives me ALL of the feels.... 😭☺️Once we picked our floor plan we were able to incorporate a wrap around front porch since our house is pretty simple in shape (two story, basic rectangular structure). I wish so giddy since this has ...

Drop Cloth Curtains – An Easy and Affordable DIY
Let me start off by saying, curtains were never too high on my priority list until recently. In our apartment we had plain old white curtains that I purchased years ago in college. They were sufficient at the time. In our house, we have lots a big windows that we may not be able to get blinds for right away (who knew blinds were a small fortune...not me!) That being said, I wanted to focus on getting some affordable curtains for around our home that will get us through and look cute. I ...

There was absolutely nothing wrong with it but I was in desperate desire of a change and ...
Coffee Table Update
I had this slightly crazy DIY idea a few months ago when we moved from our apartment to our house. These ideas come to me out of the blue and pretty frequently but most of the time nothing comes of them. Well, this weekend we actually were able to follow through and see this crazy idea of mine come to life! Ok...see that coffee table? It used to be our dining room table. I bought it a few years back when we moved into our apartment and loved it! It was perfect for our space and fit four ...
Pergo Wide Plank Laminate Flooring in Amber Chestnut
There have been SO many decisions in this whole "building" thing. While luckily this stuff is my cup of tea...it can still be totally overwhelming. I had a really hard time deciding on flooring for our main level. We knew we wanted to go with some type of hardwood flooring since this is the floor with our kitchen, living room, dining room etc. These will be the areas that we spend most of our time in so I wanted to make sure we picked something practical. Being in our mid-twenties, real ...
