Fireplace Makeover (Part One)
I'm excited to be sharing the first part of our fireplace makeover on the blog today! If you've been around the blog for a while, you know I've questioned a few times whether or not we should paint the mantel and wood surrounding the fireplace.

The Evolution of Our Dining Room
Good morning, y'all! I'm sitting writing, enjoying this rainy, chilly morning. It's currently 53 degrees and "feels like" 49! In September....in TEXAS. I'm in heaven. I've started adding fall decor around the house, and it's feeling very cozy inside. I'll share some of that later, but today I wanted to share the evolution of our dining room. I ... read more

I typically change the mantel up with the seasons, and this time around is no different, though it's simpler. I've been on a "less is more" kick around here and I'm ... read more

We Bought a House
Well, here it is. My first post in FOREVER and the first post about our home makeover. Randy and I bought this cute little house...and maybe I should stop saying little because it's bigger than it appears from the front. Anyway, we closed on the house about 3 weeks ago and the work began that day. But first....I will tell you a little about the ... read more
