Thank-you Walmart for sponsoring this post! It's officially summer! That means more time outdoors! Walmart has a variety of outdoor furniture and decor for you to create a space for your family to enjoy outside your home. I want a space that's fun but also an escape for the kids or myself to wind down and relax. I've had this outdoor EGG[...]
Our master bathroom needed some help. It was looking pretty boring compared to our master bedroom so I wanted to spruce it up a bit. ;-) Here's the BEFORE: Here's the AFTER: I know many have this kind of bath/shower unit. Instead of wishing for a tiled shower or bath, let's be happy with what we have! Adding a STOOL next to it[...]
Many of you know we are currently living in a townhome while we build a house and I’ve been slowly making this townhome feel like home! I couldn’t wait to have an outdoor living space for my kids to hang out in, for my husband and I to enjoy some drinks on the deck, or even have an outdoor office for me when there is nice weather. Here[...]
Many of you know I'm drawn to black and white but I've been adding more color to my life, and am in love with more color in the rooms! I found some great finds at Walmart to decorate our bedroom. The added colors sure make me happy and are a great addition for spring and summer! When choosing pillows, I love the ones with texture for added[...]
Thank-you WALMART for sponsoring this post! Ever since we moved into the rental, I’ve been on a mission to decorate the rooms to feel more at home. With the beautiful weather we’ve been having lately, I wanted to spruce up our home with spring home decor. Here is what our dining table looked like before the spring refresh. Before I[...]
From my last post, I had shown the new drawing with a modern roof line. I also mentioned that we are doing black siding and wood exterior for our new build, but I couldn't decide if I wanted it in the center portion of our house or in the front porch only. I finally decided and I chose..... CENTER OF HOME! Why? Well, we ended up getting our fi[...]
In my previous blog post, I talked about MODERN EXTERIOR OPTIONS and how we asked our draftsman, Tony, to draw up an idea I had for a modern roofline for the new house. Well, we received our 3d exterior sketch so I have to share! As a reminder, here's what Tony originally sent us (see this BLOG POST for more details of the process): Here'[...]
Even though we will be living in this townhome temporarily while we build our new home, I want to make this rental feel like home (make sure to check out the RENTAL TOUR if you haven’t yet). Since we spend a lot of our time in the living room, I wanted to start adding some decor here first. Check out this video below: https://youtu.be/D4-dZQBZ[...]
Many of you know that we sold this multi level custom house and finally closed on this house TODAY (March 22nd)!! Our family had such amazing memories in this custom home that we built in 2018. I love the fact that it's a modern home located in Iowa out in the country. I'm sure going to miss the country view from the backyard. The view is incr[...]
When I take a bath, I end up taking a shower right after since our current freestanding tub doesn't have a hand shower. When I saw these bathtub and shower combos, my mind was blown! I want to do a similar bathroom design for our new house! Also, I must be living under a rock because I had no idea tub and shower combos were called "wet rooms." Did[...]
