According to my blog, this will make my 11th year of doing a blog post on House Goals. Say what?!? I never do anything for 11 years. Then I looked back and whew, don’t worry guys, I am still consistently inconsistent. I must have skipped a few years in the middle there. So, I have […]
Review of our 2021 House Goals
It’s that time of year again, where I look back at our House Goals from 2021 to see what we accomplished this year. I will be the first to admit, I really am in a slump with projects. The last thing I did was paint and I hate it. Have I changed it yet? Nope. […]
My word of the year for 2022
My word for 2021 was Connection. You can read more about how that went, here. To be honest, I was thinking maybe I didn’t even want to do a word this year. Some years I really connect with the word and others I kind of forget about. Not super encouraging I suppose but I really […]
A Bright Future in my Kitchen
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 […]
