Hi! Happy Tuesday. I put this cushion DIY off for as long as I possibly could until it was crunch time. We were having a big group of people over a week later and I didn’t want them to have to sit on the hard-wooden bench (DIY HERE) so I sucked it up and started to figure it out. Here’s the thing… I’m not a sewer. My mom, who is great at sewing, has been meaning to teach me but never got around to it. The only thing I’d ever sewn was this raggedy curtain for our laundry room and that even makes ...
DIY Built-In Window Seat
Hey guys! Stephen here. We had this corner in our family room right next to our fireplace that was tucked away and we weren't quite sure what to do with it. We didn't know whether we were going to buy a big comfy seat and make it a cozy reading nook or just leave it as an open spot and put up some decorations. We ended up deciding to make a built-in window bench and we're really glad about our decision. The actual construction of the built-in bench is fairly simple, the only materials you ...
The PROS & CONS of our Robot Vacuum
Since we moved to South Carolina and into our new house, I’ve wanted a robot vacuum. With the combination of Adi (and then eventually Brooke too), Stephen and I both working full-time, and our dark floors, I felt like I couldn’t keep up. I would come home from work and vacuum for half an hour and then before we went to bed I felt like I already needed to vacuum again. As crazy as this might sound, I actually enjoy vacuuming but with considering how many other things I have to do daily, it just ...
Our Festive Home Exterior for Christmas
Happy, happy Friday friends! Can you believe we're already 7 days into December? I'm pathetic but I actually start to get sad as Christmas gets closer because I don't want it to end. How pathetic is that? Speaking of Christmas ending... Does anyone else despise December 26? If you're ever on some crazy game show and they happen ask, "What is Jordan Jean's least favorite day of the year?" and you answer, "December 26". You'd be a winner. Moving on Jordan... Moving on... I can't even begin to ...
Wreath-Adorned Christmas Porch
Happy Friday! This week has been pretty tough with both of our pups having surgery but we're getting through it and I'm excited to share something that has brought me joy throughout the week - our wreath-adorned Christmas porch. Speaking of pups... Brooke is doing really well (she was spayed this week)! She's acting like she didn't have surgery at all which makes it quite difficult with her sister who is not exactly on the same level yet, whatsoever. For months and months I've envisioned ...
Our First Christmas Tree
Happy Tuesday! This is the first Christmas season Stephen and I have ever celebrated together in our own home. It's so exciting to let you all in and to share this room and our first tree with you all. I hope it inspires you in some way as you start decorating in your own homes! There is an endless number of color schemes to decorate with for Christmas but Stephen and I love the classic red and green so it only made sense we decorated using those colors for our first year. We also barely ...
