I have a tendency to constantly conjure up new projects and things to do in our home. It brings me so much joy! Every part of the process - the dreaming, the working, and especially the part when I step back and can't wipe the pride-filled smile off my face (Stephen says that's his favorite expression of mine). There's something about putting your own time, effort, and hard work into a project, you know? I believe it makes us appreciate our home so much more because of the way we've loved on it. This is where you'll find anything and everything related to that process.
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 […]
Call us crazy but we decided that we would do our best to tackle one more space in our Mississippi home before our newest Tupta Tot arrives – the center of the home, the kitchen! Although it can sound pretty daunting, it’s actually not going to be as intense as the primary bathroom was for […]
Even though we have don’t have a functioning shower, sinks, or toilet in our bathroom yet, it feels like we’re finally getting close to finishing up this huge project! As we complete the last few things (and wait for some others that are out of our control), we’re going to start tackling our bedroom. We’ve […]
When we walked through our Mississippi home for the first time (we bought it sight unseen) one of the first things that I noticed is the smell in the master bathroom. I had never smelled that specific smell before but I figured it was some sort of mold that I was detecting. Stephen wasn’t bothered […]
As we wait for the last piece to arrive before we finish up the office, we decided to go ahead and start knocking out the living room. I mean literally… I started knocking it out. More on that in a bit though! The biggest thing we’re going to do in here is brighten it up! […]
Of all the rooms in the house, this is one of the ones we’re most excited to get our hands on (tied with the bathrooms) simply because of the wall color. We have some really big trees around our house which we love. An upside of that is that it creates a lot of shade […]
Six months since Ellie’s birth and it’s finally time to reveal her nursery! It has taken us a good chunk of time because we decided against it in the South Carolina house since we knew that we’d be moving six weeks after she was born. That didn’t stop me from dreaming up plans for when […]
Are you excited for this one?! I know a lot of you have been anxiously waiting for this so today I’m so thrilled to be sharing with you all how to make a design board for free. I’ve said it over and over and over again now the importance of creating a design/mood/inspiration board before […]
Stephen and I have been looking online at houses in Mississippi to get an idea of what the market is like down there and to come up with a tentative plan for what we want to spend/how much work we want to put into the next house etc. We put a lot of research into […]
Hi! I hope you all are doing well. A few weeks ago I mentioned that since our next move is quickly approaching, we won’t be doing anymore projects on our SC home so I figured in the meantime I’d share the design plans for our next home. These are the plans we’d follow and go […]
Whenever we go home to the house I grew up in, Stephen and I stay in the guest bedroom. There’s nothing wrong with it at all but I did miss staying in my childhood bedroom. It’s bigger and it made me sad that it has been serving as a storage space ever since we got […]
About a month ago we found out that we’re headed to Columbus, Mississippi for Stephen’s next assignment. Now that it has set in, we’re excited! There are so many things I’m going to miss about South Carolina, especially our friends but I do have to say… I’m ready to get this show on the road! […]
Fall is approaching! Praise God! I know a lot of people that have already decked the halls with pumpkins, bats, and spiders galore but we haven’t reached that point over here. I don’t think we will until the beginning of October *gasp*! I guess technically part of my job as a blogger is to be […]
Hi! Today I wanted to share with you all what we’re thinking of doing to finish up our living room. It’s one of the last spaces to go!!! As we’re making some of the final touches on this house, I’m slowly but surely clarifying my own style. It has taken time, that’s for sure! I […]
Hi! Slowly but surely we are putting our own touches on our home. We only have 3 rooms to go (you can see our most recent room update HERE)! Isn’t that exciting?! The next one up on our list in the master bedroom. We haven’t done anything in here at all yet. We have the […]
Can you believe it?! I’m sure if you’ve been keeping up with my stories you’re thinking, “Oh my lanta, Jordan… FINALLY!” Our MASTER BATHROOM IS COMPLETE! This project included a big first for us – painting a laminate vanity…. Twice. We love love love the way this turned out and I’m so excited to be […]
Happy Monday! I’m coming at you today with a little update on the bathroom! A LOT has changed in there since I last talked about it HERE. Since it won’t be entirely completed for a couple of weeks, I wanted to share with you where we’re at so far. The first thing we did in […]
Happy Saturday! Now that we’ve finished probably two of the most involved projects of the year (posts HERE and HERE), we’re ready to start tackling other rooms in our home. As a lot of you know, we live in a one year old construction that we had built when we found out we were going […]
Hi! I’m so happy to be on here with you all! The past couple of weeks have been really crazy traveling for work (if you’re new here you can read a little bit about what I do HERE) so it feels like a breath of fresh air to be sitting down to write this post. […]
I am overjoyed to be sharing this reveal with you all today! Stephen and I concluded that out of all of the projects we’ve taken on in this house, this one took us the longest. Our budget, the holidays, and time are to blame for that. It was so worth it though! We love how […]
Happy Friday! I hope you all had an amazing week leading up to Christmas. It’s such an exciting time! Before we head home to our families, I wanted to share a tour of our home decorated for the season. This is something I’ve never done before (please excuse my videography skills) and I think it’ll […]
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 […]
After posting my budget-friendly neutral pillows post earlier today, I wanted to share these Christmas pillows while they’re still on sale for Black Friday. I found some great ones at Target, World Market, H&M and TJ Maxx for all different styles at really great prices (which is awesome considering how expensive these things can get). […]
Call me crazy but I’ve been searching for throw pillows for about three+ months now. I know that’s a long time to be looking for some pillows but holy camoly, Batman. Some of these companies are charging $50-$150 for a DANG PILLOW? Nope. I can’t do it. As much as I love the look and […]
Hi! Happy Monday! I wasn’t able to be on here much last week because of a very full work load and a gathering we hosted in our home (more on that to come!), so I’m really excited to start the week off with you all here. Today I’m sharing our office “reveal”! I know you’ve […]
Happy Wednesday! This week has been bonkers. I have had so much going on at work and getting ready for an “event” at our house tonight… All while finishing the guest bathroom makeover… Ha! It’s all good things! We’re having about 25 Air Force wives over tonight to make some signs for Christmas and have […]
This post may contain affiliate links. Happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a good start. Today I wanted to share my favorites from Rugs USA. We’ve purchased many rugs from them in our home and always get compliments on them. Rugs USA has a great sale going on more often than not […]
The guest bathroom is something that has been on my mind daily for the past two months now. For some reason I was so stumped by it. I started out with a vision in mind (this post/these photos make me cringe but I keep them as a reminder for “where I started”) but quickly realized I […]
Hi! Happy Wednesday! Before I share about this little bench, I wanted to say sorry for not posting my favorites from Rugs USA like I mentioned on stories yesterday. The time just got away from me last night… They’re still having a 45% off sale though so I probably will go ahead and do that post […]
Oh happy day! Fall is officially here! To kick off the season, Stephen and I picked up quite a few mums from Walmart (they’re only $1 for the small ones and $4 for the larger ones!) and about 5 pumpkins from Trader Joe’s. We were really impressed with the prices at both locations so we figured […]
Hi! I wanted to stop in here today and share some of the fall décor I’ve put up in the house so far but mainly, I want talk about my thought process behind decorating for this time of year. This is the first year I’ve really been able to decorate my own home (last year I only put out […]
Hi! Let’s just get right into this! Last week I asked you all what to do over our guest bed. I worked with Carpenter Farmhouse to have this beautiful sign made and wanted to show it off over our new shiplap wall. Most people picked option 1 which was the @cottonstem hoop wreaths with the words […]
Hi! Happy Thursday! I know I’ve shared about our guest bathroom before and looking back on that post, I’m honestly thoroughly embarrassed. The lighting is so terrible, heck, I don’t even love what we did in there so far but I guess that’s part of growing with this blog of mine. Stephen and I decided […]
Happy Thursday! I shared with you all our updated entryway and our board and batten tutorial but I was reminded today when I started planning out fall décor for this space that I also need to share about these frames and herb prints that I found. I love the cottage vibes of a wood and white […]
Hey guys! A couple of weeks ago I shared a picture of myself working on a project in our room. In it I was wearing a top I purchased for $5 from Walmart in the picture. It’s one of my favorites! Then I went to go search for a link for you all, which I found here, […]
Hi! Happy Tuesday! Today I’m so excited to be sharing our laundry room with you all. This was the first project we started and completed in our new home. It took us only one weekend and was relatively simple. Although, I will say, wallpapering for the first time with Stephen served as a very effective […]
Adding board and batten to our entryway was something we planned on doing before our house was even finished. HA! I knew that with a good amount of research, we could accomplish the project relatively quickly without spending boat loads of money and that it would add a lot of character to our home. Other projects got […]
Eeek! I’m so excited to be sharing this with you all! I honestly couldn’t wait to finish the entire board and batten tutorial before sharing some of these pictures. Don’t worry, the step-by-step tutorial is headed your way! Over the weekend we were able to really finish up the space by adding these hooks, finally […]
We’ve taken a little bit of time off from doing any big projects around the house these past two months because of our budget and (lack of) time. This past weekend though, we spent a lot of time in the car while traveling and talked about all of the projects we want to tackle in the […]
If you’ve followed along on some of my Instagram stories, you know about the rug debacle in the master bathroom (which I still haven’t solved by the way). For some reason, I’m having a really hard time figuring out which direction I want to go with that space. I do know though that I want […]
I was starting to write a post about “what’s currently in my Amazon cart” because not only do I absolutely love Amazon but I personally enjoy reading these types of posts. They’re so fun! Does anyone else just enjoy finding new products and reading reviews on Amazon? No? Just me? Maybe I’m the only weird […]
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 You might see this post pop up and think, “Jordan… Fans? Seriously?!” But I’m actually really excited about this, you guys! I’ve really been itching to share the entire process involved with putting our own “style […]
Happy Monday! Since it’s officially my favorite time of the year, I wanted to share some of my fall decor favorites with you all! Decorations can be so expensive so I really try my best to find the best deals or just make the decorations myself. I’m all about a good deal! The upside is […]

One of the great parts about Ellie Joy’s bedroom is that her closet is massive! As we were working on her bedroom makeover, I knew that I wanted to make her closet more functional, organized, and overall better than before (if I was able to) as my friend Brooke (@nestingwithgrace) says. Someday I hope to […]
The first thing that I did as soon as the walls were painted (and dry) in the office was get this little corner set up. I had been imagining it for months now so to watch it come to life was exciting for me. It might be pretty simple but it houses a few of […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Of all the rooms in our Mississippi home, the girl’s/guest bathroom needed the most love. Ironically, it was the only bathroom we used the entire first year we lived in this house before we completed the primary bathroom remodel because it made the most sense for us logistically. It was adorned with wood paneling and […]
About a year ago one of my best friends, Emilee, started talking to me about making some updates to her kitchen. Her biggest frustration with the space was that the entire thing was all “paper bag” brown – the walls, cabinets, counters, backsplash. All of it. The area was in dire need of some contrast. […]
When we moved into the Mississippi house almost three years ago (TIME FLIES!!!), all of the blinds on the front windows of the house were white wooden blinds and on the back of the house they were brown blinds. We decided to keep the ones in the front because they’re decent quality and blinds can […]
On September 25 we’ll celebrate three years of living in our Mississippi house. Pretty much since the month we moved in, we have been working on fixing up the interior. We only have one room left to work on and a few tiny details to finish up before sharing both the kitchen and guest/kids bathroom […]
I have a funny story to share (I’m going to paraphrase so it doesn’t take me forever). Since the fall of 2022 I’ve been attending a course on the Catholic church (yes, RCIA, for those of you that know what I’m talking about!). I wanted to learn from the Catholic Church what the Church actually […]
We’re making progress on the bathroom. We’re not as far along as we wanted to be at this point but we’re alright with that. We have a lot of LIFE happening at the same time (make sure to subscribe to receive our weekly newsletter with those deets!) and we’re just… Tired! That being said, we […]
Well folks, we are finally tackling the room most in need of some serious lovin’ in our Mississippi home – the guest/kids bathroom. Adorned with wood paneling in the shower with vinyl tile above it, a vanity that has seen much better days, and a poorly patched ceiling, the time is past due. All jokes […]
Considering Stephen and I started this in June 2021, it feels pretty surreal to finally be sharing the reveal of the primary bathroom in our Mississippi home. And to think that we thought it would take us two months max!!! Oh bless our precious hearts… Instead of two, it took us nine months to complete […]
Call us crazy but we decided that we would do our best to tackle one more space in our Mississippi home before our newest Tupta Tot arrives – the center of the home, the kitchen! Although it can sound pretty daunting, it’s actually not going to be as intense as the primary bathroom was for […]
Hi! I’m so excited to be on here with you today to share our bathroom progress and how we learned to drywall! Before I get into a much needed update on the bathroom, this post gives a good picture of where it has been headed for months and months now (HAHA) in case you needed […]
Something I really wanted to incorporate into the new office is a big writing space on the wall. I had a giant whiteboard in my office while working in the corporate world and I’d spend hours sitting in front of that board brainstorming and coming up with new ideas. It seems as though my best […]
Something that I want to do better at is sharing progress of our work on the house on here. I try my best to remember to share all of the steps on my Instagram with you but I will admit, sometimes we get on a roll and I forget to pick my phone up. It’s […]
Even before we bought our 1980’s home in Mississippi, we talked about and researched how we could remove the textured ceilings, or more specifically stomped ceilings. There is nothing wrong with textured ceilings, we just love the look of flat ceilings and thought it would make the home feel refreshed. It’s totally a personal preference! […]
Stephen and I sat down together at the beginning of the year and came up with a plan for the order we want to tackle projects on the house. It’s not necessarily “set in stone” but it helps us be on the same page and is helpful when budgeting. Speaking of budgeting, if you haven’t […]
We’ve lived in the Mississippi house for almost five months now! Time is flying. We have a lot of work to do on this 1980’s home to freshen it up a bit. We started in the guest bedroom (I’ll share more on that later!) and moved onto the entryway. Removing the textured ceilings in the […]
In our South Carolina home, one of the first projects we completed was the board and batten in the entryway. Even though the house was brand spankin’ new and really didn’t need anything, we wanted to add some charm and character to it. Board and batten is an easy way to do that! By the […]
As soon as I saw pictures of our Mississippi home while we were house hunting, I knew I wanted to paint the front door. Red is my favorite color but I wanted a pink door for years! We couldn’t do it with our South Carolina home because of the HOA and we loved our stained […]
Happy Thursday! About eight months ago I decided to paint our kitchen hardware. There was nothing wrong with the way it looked originally (a brushed nickel finish), it just wasn’t our style. I yearned for a little bit more contrast between the hardware and white cabinets. I can’t stress this enough – do what makes […]
This DIY was one that I did over a year ago now but I realized that I never shared the method I came up with on here! I wouldn’t be surprised if I do this again in any of our future homes. It worked like magic and I really love the way it came out. […]
Since we know that we’ll be moving sometime this year, I want to make sure anything we “DIYed” in this house is documented on here for you guys (and for us in case we want to do something similar in the next house)! A really simple project that I shared on Instagram stories was the […]
