My hope is that this space serves YOU and helps to make your life feel a bit more elevated and a lot more joyful. I will be sharing simple recipes, affordable finds (and what to do with them), tips and tricks, our home (wherever the Air Force and life takes us), and a lot of joyful life in between.

We’ve been living in our Virginia house for almost a full year now. It’s wild how time flies isn’t it? I have to admit that as I’m writing this post I am giggling a bit thinking about how it took us nearly an entire year to finish this room. It really wasn’t a super labor […]

A (Realistic) Better Than Before Garage Refresh in our VA Home

In February of this year when we moved into our new home in Virginia we had just finished up a two day trek from Columbus, Mississippi. Stephen drove a big U-Haul with all of our things and I drove our car with our newborn, two toddlers, two dogs, and one of my best friends, McKenna, […]

Our Garage Plans + My Current Workout Rhythm

Stephen and I have been talking a lot about our plans for the garage. Per usual we’re knee deep in a lot of projects, including the guest bedroom still (if you haven’t heard me say it before… Projects take longer the more kids we add to the crew. It’s all good though!) while simultaneously wanting […]

Over a year ago now I shared this post about our plans to paint the exterior of our Mississippi home. Since then the Columbus house was painted, we found out we’d be moving to Virginia, found our new home in Virginia (the story is here!), visited our new home in Virginia and got some work […]

A Shoe Inspired Living Room Design

One of my goals for the remainder of the year is to get a little bit more of our first floor “finished” before the Christmas tree goes up. I laugh as I’m typing this because we also want to get our guest bedroom finished, our baby boy’s bedroom started (and finished ha), the kids bathroom […]

Our Favorite Way to Remove Wallpaper + Painted Guest Bedroom

Our new house is FULL of wallpaper (you can see all of the before photos here)! While there’s a good bit of it that we like and we’re going to keep for now, some of it was either not our style and/or was in bad condition and needed to be removed. That was the case […]

I don’t know if I’ve ever shared a post like this before but after years of stepping into my oh-so-cherished friend Nikita’s home for our monthly book club, I asked her if I could photograph her house to share on here with you. I truly felt like you’d be missing out if I didn’t! I […]

Our Fun Wallpapered Dining Room in the Virginia Home

This post is sponsored by Livette’s Wallpaper. However, all thoughts/opinions on my website are always my own. Our first finished room in our Virginia home!!!! I am so excited to share this one with you particularly because I have been envisioning this space since before we even purchased this house. Let’s face it, I just […]

Better than Before Laundry Room Update in our Mississippi Home

After completing the kitchen renovation and loving on nearly every square inch of our Mississippi home, we figured we couldn’t just leave the laundry room untouched. At the same time though we knew we were approaching our move and the Mississippi house would soon be listed for rent. With that in mind, we kept the […]
