Fall Tablescape and Giveaway

*This post sponsored by LTD Commodities. All thoughts are 100% my own. I’m trying not to apologize too much, but I feel I must here. I’m so sorry, I sort of skipped fall and jumped right into winter here. You know with posts like sharing the Christmas Experience. Admittedly back in September I did share […]

Dining Room Recap

I wanted to pull our Dining Room remodel into one recap post. It’s so neat to see the before and after shots next to each other!  For me, it just doesn’t even look like the same room anymore. I love our new Dining Room! It started out as a simple floor to ceiling pantry project.  […]

What am I up to?

I bet you’re wondering what exactly I’m up to.  I’ve spent a good portion of the last few days getting our kitchen and dining room reorganized. I’ve got a whole cupboard and one shelf in another cupboard that are empty. I don’t know what to do with them.  I’m sure I’ll find something and things will […]

Many things got accomplished at once, and I’m seeing more of an end (while wishing the end was already here). Here’s a look at what got accomplished this week. Continuation of the wallpaper stripping […]

The plan (hope) is to have the wallpaper/paint off the walls by saturday so we can start the painting process. Being pregnant, we’re trying to find ways that I can […]

Dining Room Remodel day 2

I took the Princesses to the mall to search for a last minute gift and to get some play time in, while Mark stayed home and got some work done undistracted.  After yesterday, today was much more calm, as we had more of a plan of what needed to be done.  First on the list – […]

Pantry Remodel and Termites?!

Yeah you read that right! We’re redoing the “pantry” and turning it into a real pantry with lots of shelves and doors!  Oh the second part? Yeah you read that right too! We found termites, and turns out we’ll be getting a whole new dining room, not just a pantry!!  I’m pooped, and exhausted so […]
