Do you ever hear or see something that struck you so deeply on the inside you couldn't get it out of your head for days after? A concept so fervent it protrudes your current way of thinking and forces you re-examine your life, how you live it, and how you can make it mean more? … Continue reading I Can’t Get It Out of My Mind
Our Weekend In Bend
If anyone ever asked me to give them advice about life in general (you'd be surprised how often this happens...), I would tell them to find friends that you love to travel with. These are very special friendships because you couldn't spend a weekend or longer with just any friend, they have to be special. … Continue reading Our Weekend In Bend
It’s Really Happening
When my husband and I first got married, we made a list of all the things we wanted to do before we started popping out babies. The biggest thing we had was take a European cruise, and guess what? It's really happening!! And not only is it really happening but it's all paid for! James and … Continue reading It’s Really Happening
Industrial Pipe DVD Shelf
Everyone has their "thing". The thing they could talk about non-stop, spend endless amounts of money on, and feel the urge to show anyone who walks through the door. For me it's my house and whatever cute new thing I've added to it and for my husband it's movies. For a long time now his … Continue reading Industrial Pipe DVD Shelf
Bathroom Plans
I'm sitting on the couch fiddling on pinterest; looking through my boards and all of a sudden something clicks. It literally was like a light bulb flipped on above my head. I figured out the bathroom. I've talked about our bathroom plans before in this post but never had a solid idea on its design. … Continue reading Bathroom Plans
Geometric Accent Wall
This week I finally pulled the trigger and painted an accent wall in my entryway. I wanted something that added dimension but wasn't too crazy since it's a smaller space. When I found this tutorial on Vintage Revivals I knew this was it! All it requires is a straight edge and a Sharpie paint pen. … Continue reading Geometric Accent Wall

I can now scratch one more thing off my bucket list; I have … Continue reading DIY Animal Pillows
Creative Gift Wrap
Last christmas I made one of the best purchases of my life. A giant roll of brown kraft paper. I can't even begin to list all of the things I've used this paper for because I could go on and on but the last two years I have used it for all of my christmas … Continue reading Creative Gift Wrap
Sisters
As I'm writing this post, this song is playing in the background and I can't help it, it's just too perfect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZ3FYYTOn5U You may be thinking, "Hey! National Sibling Day is not until April 10th and National Sister Day won't be until August 2nd!". But I have decided to show my rebellious side and celebrate … Continue reading Sisters
Hallway Wainscoting
On the day of our wedding, James gave me a coupon he made that said "You get wainscoting in the hallway!"....One year later it's finally up! He and his dad (thank the Lord for handy husbands and FIL's) got it done one Saturday afternoon and I couldn't be happier! It definitely does everything for the … Continue reading Hallway Wainscoting
