Upcycling Everyday Items Into Christmas Decor

I know that seasonal and holiday decorating is essentially the inherent duty of any home blogger, though as I've admitted several times in the past, it's just not my thing - even when it comes to the mighty crescendo that is Christmas. It's not that I don't adore the...

Boy’s Tiny Lodge Style Bedroom Reveal!

I never thought I'd be able to create another kid's space I'd love quite so much as my daughter's bedroom...but I may have done just that. In fact, I might even love it more! From the start I was excited about the rustic-earthy-vintage-collected-lodgey feel I was...

A Simple Desk Makeover

You know that old saying, "Too much of a good thing is never a good thing." Well, aside from the fact they forgot to exclude wine...and pistachios...and Friday nights, it's pretty sound advice, and perfectly apt in the case of this cute little desk. As good as its...

I've found stuff! This pendant light on eBay for $72... I knew I wanted something modern and gold and somewhat impactful and this seemed to fit the bill. Let's hope it also fits the space! On Gumtree I came across a set of four Windsor style chairs for $40 (listing...

A Plan for the Free Dining Room

The furniture is sold! The dining setting fetched $180 and the light went for $20. This gives me a grand total of $200 (I know, don't be too impressed by my amazing math) to overhaul the space. What a nice round figure. In all honestly, I was hoping for a tad more...
