Dining Room Refresh with Lightology

I had a friend describe lighting to me as "the jewelry of the home". It sets the mood and can make or break a space. That's so true. If you have followed me on Instagram for any period of time you may have noticed how much I love lighting.

Creating an Outdoor Space

I can't believe it took us this long to create an outdoor space for us to enjoy! Maybe it was Covid and us having to be home more, or Coco getting a bit older and witnessing her love for the outdoors. I'm just so thankful we have a cozy backyard to enjoy now! 

I wanted to take you guys a bit through the process of turning the sad before into an after that we love! First of all, we power washed the patio and decided to level out the concrete patio by filling holes and cracks with mixed concrete. I then primed and painted the concrete slab with Dorian Gray by Sherwin Williams. We purchased it in the patio/outdoor paint finish. I loved the way it turned out! 

15 Chilling Movies to watch this October

 Josh and I have always enjoyed watching a classic horror movie. It's something fun we love to do every October and have done ever since we began dating. We also love to gather around the fire pit with friends and roast s'mores while enjoying a scary flick on the projector. We have watched many a horror film in our day and have seen some really good ones and a few that were a complete snooze fest. I thought it would be fun to share my favorites in case you are looking for some to binge this month. 

Wait Until Dark

Bedroom Refresh/DIY Wainscoting

I am so excited to show you guys our bedroom refresh! Our room had become rather boring and I knew we needed a little glow and warmth to it. I had been wanting to add some kind of accent wall or wall treatments to the space and finally decided I wanted to do a chair rail and some wainscoting! 

One Room Challenge / Week Eight / The Final Reveal

It's REVEAL DAY!!! I am sooooo excited to be able to finally share what I have been working on the past eight weeks. Our little family couldn't be happier with our new den and we have been enjoying  this fresh space so much!

If you missed what the den looked like before then you can see all the before photos here.

One Room Challenge / Week Seven / All in the Details

Next week is the big reveal!!! I can't believe it is finally here! I can't wait to show you guys the entire space I have been working on for the past seven weeks and have been dreaming of and designing long before that.

This week I thought I would share a few of the details we are adding to our den. I was lucky to be able to work with Mitzi for all our lighting and Juniper Print Shop, The Poster Club, and Framebridge for our art needs.

One Room Challenge / Week Five/Six / Painting with Clare

This past week I painted the entire den with a crisp, fresh coat of white paint. It looks soooo good and I can't wait to show you guys the final result!

I was so excited to try out Clare paint! I have always ran to the hardware store to pick up my paint and so it was such a treat to discover the paint I wanted online, along with all of my painting supplies, and have it shipped right to my door.
