Beautiful window seat with a colorful thrown and stenciled pillows

Decorating a Living Room Bay Window

By

I received the pillows described in this post for free in exchange for my honest review. A few years ago my husband and I had a bay window installed in our living room. For a while, I was unsure as to how to dress up the window. I have been meaning to make a custom window seat cushion for the space, but haven't gotten around to it yet! In the meantime, I've found a much easier (and quicker) way to dress up a bay window. At first, I only had a simple cushion that I had sewed on the window seat. At the time, the cushion matched the color scheme of the curtains that I had in the Continue reading...

Planning a Kitchen Remodel

By

If you've been following this blog, you probably know that I've taken steps to update the look of my home's kitchen. I've repainted most of the oak cabinets white. (I just have a few more to paint.) I've purchased some new cabinet hardware to install. I've made small changes like organizing drawers and installing inexpensive tile under the kitchen sink. I'd love to change out the flooring and the counter, too. A good blogging friend of mine is doing a complete kitchen remodel -- I have to admit I'm a bit jealous! If you are considering a DIY kitchen remodel or if you are thinking of having Continue reading...

Although it's officially spring here in NJ, it doesn't quite feel like spring yet. But luckily, I've noticed a few signs of spring here and there! One sure sign that spring is coming is that spring decor and gardening items are starting to pop up in local stores. I always like to hit the dollar spot area at my local Target. There I snapped the above photo -- I love the adorable "grow" sign and the Continue reading...

A living room gallery wall with many homemade items

Living Room Gallery Wall — Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop

  Welcome to the March Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you, too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! So this month,  I chose to update my living room gallery wall. A few years ago I created a simple living room gallery wall. I used Command strips and hooks to hang the items on my gallery wall. The Command products are easy to hang and also make it easy to swap out the items on my living room gallery wall as inspiration hits. I've pinned many living Continue reading...

Easy Projects to Organize Your Home

This post contains affiliate links. Now that the new year is into full swing, I thought I'd review some of the organizing projects I've completed in my house. It's been a few months since I've organized many of the places I use for storage in my home, so I thought I'd think about the organizing I've done so far and see what I can do to add more storage and reorganize any messes that might have popped up since my original projects.
