//via I’m always keeping my eyes open for good (and affordable!) dining chairs. We currently have a mish-mash of chairs from thrift stores and Ikea around our dining table, and while it was definitely the most affordable option a couple years ago, I do yearn for the day when we have a bona-fide dining chair […]

My home is enough. It may seem small, or old, or outdated to some. Yeah sure, the floors need refinishing, the bathrooms and kitchen could use some updating, and we don’t have air conditioning. The bedrooms are tiny, there’s only one shower/tub, I don’t have an island in my kitchen, and the sidewalk outside is […]

I’m often asked what my favorite stores to shop for home goods are. So I thought I would share my top five stores to purchase home goods from, whether I’m looking for rugs or furniture, candles or photo frames.

This post is for the […]

With Advent right around the corner (only 2.5 weeks away!), I’ve been on the look-out for some Advent Calendar DIYs that can double as decor… because killing two birds with one stone is totally my jam.

From wood beads, greenery and macrame, to tissue paper, felt balls, and fabric, garlands of all kinds are showing up in homes. And I’m not mad about it! (In fact I’m very, very happy about it!) If you’re not as convinced, let me […]

If you’re a follower of Jesus, then you may wonder what decorating and a faith-filled life have to do with each other. Well, I’m here to tell you, A LOT! There’s a way you can create your home to be Christ-centered, and there’s a way you can create it to be you-centered. There’s a way […]

//via I’m back at it again answering another reader question! Today’s question is all about maximizing space! Question: I am wondering how to set up a room that has SO much furniture. I have two large dressers, my desk, a full size bed, and a wooden headboard that takes up quite a bit of room. How […]

We recently purchased a new area rug for our living room, and the hunt for a large, affordable area rug can be grueling! It seems that once you get into the 8×10 or 9×12 range rugs get real expensive, real fast. But the one that we ordered was a 10×14, and is crazy affordable! So […]

Sorry if the title is misleading, but I’m not talking about Christmas today (phew!), I’m talking about FALL! I really do love this season so much… the crunch of the leaves underfoot, the crisp air, the change in wardrobe. Everything about Fall is so wonderful, except for how quickly it seems to pass every year. […]
