Welcome to week 2 of the ORC! It’s been a productive week here, including ripping out the tile and scraping off the popcorn ceiling. And on a side note, thank goodness for Minnesota winters and neighbors who let us use their ice scraper driveway thingy so that the hubby could get up the wire/thinset cement stuff off […]

Our Home Then & Now
I was looking for some photos the other day and came across the pics from when our home was for sale by the previous owners. So the furniture pictured in the before photos does not belong to us but it’s fun to see how the home was staged when we looked at it. Scroll down […]
Master Bathroom in need of a makeover
So last fall the Master bedroom got a sexy makeover which we still love and are so glad we did! Beyond the bedroom, the master bathroom didn’t get anything done to it, all I have accomplished in this bathroom is painting the walls and vanity. Apparently I am a slacker because back in 2012 I posted about doing […]
The Home Depot:DIH Rustic Pumpkin Stand
This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. September is here and that means it’s time to decorate for fall! I like to keep my decor fairly simple for the seasons and I love to decorate with items that are multi-purpose and I can use all over my home. This Rustic Pumpkin Stand fits […]
Navy blue is in the house….again
Oh navy blue, I love you and can’t stay away for long. Our first encounter was in my master bedroom, daring, I know! And I loved you then, all bold and blue but after a while you were too much for me and I needed a change. I tried other blues in another room instead but they just weren’t […]
Hardwood floors and Popcorn Ceilings
Hey friends, Well it’s summer and if your summer is going anything like mine, well it’s been crazy! I think I said the same thing last summer too. We’ve been busy bees around here even with having company and being gone to have our hardwood floors refinished. When we first considered having our hardwood […]
Dining Room Chair Debate
While cruising magazines, pinterest, blogs and online shopping for the dining room, the one design element I am just not sure on is the seating. I have two styles of chairs right now that I pretty much love but it’s form vs function between my man and my choices for seating. He is practical, […]
Making over the Dining Room
Hey friends, how is the beginning of summer treating you? It’s been really going great here so far, usually the first few weeks are an “adjustment period” because the mom and kids are trying to get used to sharing and being around each other all the time. Now that we know we are staying […]
Living Room Dilemmas
Hey friends, so if you follow me on instagram or my facebook page, you know last week I may have painted my front living room. I went wild and crazy, choosing a color without sampling it first and as you know, that’s probably a bad idea. I’m just going to be blunt and blame it […]
