Thanks to Walmart for sponsoring today’s post! It’s officially Fall and I couldn’t be more excited! Walmart has so many amazing home décor finds that make decorating easy and affordable! Walmart Home isn’t just for the necessities, it is the place you can get your favorite décor items all season long! I was looking in the floral aisle at Walmart the other day and jumped for joy when I saw they had dried eucalyptus in a beautiful rust color!! I immediately fell in love and got 3 packs so I could not only use it for the table scape but also my bedroom. Walmart also has a new line called Thyme…

Summer Patio Essentials with Walmart!
Having a summer patio space is a dream come true for me (and probably for many of my readers as well!). I can entertain, hangout, make memories with my family over a summer meal, and even take an afternoon nap on the couch there. I was able to find amazing items for my patio at my local Walmart’s Home section and Walmart.com. Not only was I able to create a beautiful and fun outdoor space it was also super affordable thanks to Walmart! Summer Porch Decor I have always wanted swivel chairs and a long sofa to take naps on underneath my patio roof; and Walmart.com delivered with the Better…

DIY Modern Mudroom Makeover
Today I am sharing how I created a functional and beautiful modern mudroom for my family. The mudroom is definitely a place that gets used daily. It is also such a catch all space; we set down our personal items there, place items that we need to take with us when we leave the house, take of dirty clothes, etc all in this space. It took me months to figure out the best layout and the best functionality for the mudroom but it was well worth the wait(and the work)! Laundry and Mudroom Space Before Originally the washer and dryer were on this wall but it stuck out into the…

High End Home Décor Dupes & DIYs
I love seeing other people’s homes and how they decorate them via things like Pinterest, Instagram, going to a parade of homes event, etc. It’s a great way to brainstorm for new ideas/maybe see how a particular item looks in someone’s home instead of just in a catalog or in a store. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has gotten sticker shock after finding out the prices for some of the items! I remember one time I saw a gorgeous table and when I looked it up it cost as much as all the furniture in my entire house! The good news, however, is that sometimes you can…

Simple DIY Valentines Decor
Today I am sharing simple Valentines Day decor with you. Adding a few touches here and there to add a little color but not be tacky. In the past I have gone full board but this year I wanted simplicity. I love buying seasonal decor items at Dollar Tree to make some beautiful Holiday DIYs on a budget. Dollar Tree did not disappoint this year, they actually keep getting better each season. They had some new items this year that made it super easy to make beautiful crafts. Grapevine hearts, wooded hearts and gorgeous giftbags. When I say easy I mean it, taking a bag and turning it into a…

Interior finishes
I’m so excited to share some of the process we went through in choosing finishes for our home and I will also show you some of the final selections! Choosing finishes sounds so fun and easy but it isn’t always so. I’m definitely part of the group of people who find the whole process quite hard at times. For this house; I had to go into a design meeting, speak with a designer, look around, get rough quotes on product (and some of those quotes took a few days to be returned), and then make some final selections all in half a day! I even had a plan going in…

Framing is Complete!
The framing of our house is now completed. It did not take long at all for the house to take shape. Its amazing that in a matter of days you go from dirt to a framed home and your dream is now a reality not just a thought. The lumber was delivered and the fun began. The first step was to put down the floor joists on the foundation border. Plywood goes down over the floor joists to give you a floor to walk one. Just like that the base of our home is done the walls can go up! Seeing the walls go up is pretty exciting! These men…

I have a few images from the past years for fall. As you can see I have done traditional and non traditional fall colors, both are beautiful but traditional just sets the mood for fall. Today…

We Broke Ground!
After months of waiting to get the permit, we finally broke ground and work had started on the foundation of our new home! Before we sent the house plans to get permitted, we got to pick where on our land we wanted the house to sit and where the driveway would be. Let me tell you, it was so much fun to see the orange stakes indicating the layout of our house on the dirt. Although it didn’t look like much, it was finally starting to feel real (even if just a little bit). Something we have dreamed and worked towards for the last 10 years was actually coming to…
