    Christmas at Walmart!

    Christmas has arrived at Walmart! Woohoo! The Holiday Time collection is so good; you may wind up wanting everything in it! Walmart home has so much to offer this Christmas season and I want to thank them for sponsoring this post! Lets talk about the reindeer stocking holders first. They are solid, heavy and they have great features, you need them! The stockings are in and available in a variety of prints. I chose this plaid print to go with the faux fur ones that I bought last year (which, by the way, they have again this year!). The new Holiday Time glass trees are so pretty! I chose the…

    Fall Tablescape 2021

    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…

    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…

    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…

    DIY Church Pew

    Want to learn how to make a beautiful church pew for under $65 in one day? I was searching for a pew last year when I quickly found out that many of the ones I was interested in were quite expensive (as in $200 or more) and not mention not quite the size I was looking for.  I decided maybe I could build one myself and I began to look for inspiration on the internet.  I found several options I liked including a few on Pinterest. I picked out the features I liked in several different pews, combined them, and then built my pew from scratch. I now have a beautiful…
