Moving the Dining Room into the Entry

One of my most popular blog posts (which you can check out here) is all about moving our dining room table out of the kitchen nook and putting it smack dab in our entry. I can understand why because when I began to consider it about two years ago, I…

Classic Christmas Tablescape

Let me start off by being real honest here, tablescapes are normally only done for an Instagram picture and then it all comes down. There’s one dining table at our house and it’s used three times a day for meals and then for homeschooling and for…

Why I’m Glad I Went With the Gallery Wall

Two things you should know about me: I overanalyze everything and I don’t like putting nail holes in my walls unless I’m CERTAIN. I know that last one doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it does when you really want a gallery wall…

Two Inexpensive Fall Centerpiece Ideas

I’m not the Queen of Tablescapes. I gaze in envy at the beautiful masterpieces that grace the pages of Instagram and Pinterest. I contemplate buying pretty chargers and napkin rings. But that stuff doesn’t happen here. It just isn’t realistic for our family that…

Dining Room Rug and Kids

I had said never again. That was when koolaid was spilled on my black and white dining room rug, oh, about a week after I’d bought it. It had been a bad idea since the beginning. I’d bought the rug online and didn’t really…

Adding New Hardware to Update Your Kitchen

My kitchen used to be my least favorite spot in my house. I think it’s my favorite now, which is a good thing because it’s where I spend about 110% of my day! When we built our house, we didn’t do anything fancy in…

When The Apron Sink Won’t Work

I’ve been blessed to have Better Homes and Gardens share my kitchen on their Instagram page a few times. I’ve learned it’s best not to look at the comments because there’s always someone that’s going to find something to criticize…
