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.

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 […]

The Exterior Update on our Mississippi Home

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 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 […]

Nikita’s Cozy On-Base Home Tour

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 […]

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 […]

Acrylic Calendar DIY (Save Hundreds of Dollars!)

As we’ve been adding more kids to our Tupta crew, Stephen and I agreed that it would be beneficial for us to have a family calendar to stay more organized. We thought it would be most useful if it was located in the main hub of our home where we’ll see it daily and where […]

The Kitchen Reveal in our Mississippi Home

As soon as we saw photos of the Mississippi house we knew that if we purchased it, we could have a really fun kitchen renovation on our hands. I don’t say that sarcastically! We really believed it could be a fun challenge to potentially completely gut and then build a new kitchen from the ground […]
