Well after living in our home for one year, I have now painted the kitchen island twice. Ha! It was white when we moved in and I loved the classic beadboard on the island but I wanted a pop of color amidst all the white. Not long after we moved in, I decided to paint […]
The Pond House Reflections – One Year & Planting a Tree
Today is officially one year since we moved into what I’ve dubbed the Pond House. As an Enneagram 7, I love change. So while moving was definitely sad, there was a large part of me that was ready for change, excited for new places to explore, new people to meet and of course a new […]
Flexing my plans for the flex room
This fall I blogged about our flex room and what I would like to do if we moved my husband’s office out of there. It’s right off the front entry of our home. . The day has arrived and we are prepping to move his office to a spare room upstairs. I will share more […]
A Powder Room That Packs a Colorful Punch
If you remember a few weeks ago I left the Powder Room Project hanging. We had the wallpaper up, the bead board installed and the pedestal sink was taken down. This was before we left for Texas on February 22nd. Fast forward to last Friday, after ordering the Allen & Roth Cameron Vanity that had […]
Wallpapering the Powder Room with Photowall Wallpaper
This is a sponsored by Photowall but all opinions are 100% mine. A few weeks ago I wrote about our Wallpaper Project in the Powder Room. I mentioned that I had decided on a beautiful wallpaper from Photowall. After browsing their site which offers literally thousands of designs from wallpaper to wall murals, I landed […]
My 2021 Word of the Year
Last year I chose FREEDOM as my word for 2020. Yes, let’s all collectively laugh or cry at the same time as 2020 was the year of lockdowns and restrictions. While maybe it didn’t feel like a year of freedom with lockdowns and weirdness with the rona, God had a lesson for me. Freedom doesn’t […]
Wallpaper in the Pond House Powder Room – The Plan
It’s time to kick off our first official project in our home for 2021! Honestly, it’s the one I am the most excited about on our House Goals 2021 list, well besides the deck. This powder room needs some color and pattern, as you can see it’s pretty boring right now. It’s located off the […]
2021 House Goals
It’s February so this post is a little late but better late than never I say! Last week I posted our 2020 House Goals list. Moving into our house in June didn’t give us a ton of time to accomplish much so here’s hoping we have more success with 2021! First project of the year […]
A Recap of our 2020 House Goals
A few months ago, I did a post on House Goals 2020. While we managed to pick a few off the list, there are still some left to accomplish. Stay tuned as I add them to our 2021 House Goals list. The deck was high on our list last year but the price of lumber […]
Kitchen Design at the Pond House
Well friends, it’s been a hot minute. The fireplace is done and I’m hoping to post about that soon. Somehow we managed to finish it up after Thanksgiving and we were able to enjoy a beautiful fireplace during the Christmas season. The girls were home from college and it was really nice to just hang […]
