Jeffrey Court Renovation Challenge ~ Week 1

Hey guys! So a new adventure begins this week and it’s going to be my biggest project to date! I was recently invited to participate in the 2019 Fall Jeffrey Court Renovation Challenge. The challenge is to renovate a space over the next six weeks. That’s right I said six weeks! Each week will be judged by a panel of Jeffrey Court judges. You will even get the chance to be involved and get to help vote for your favorite designer 😉 The winner of the contest will win a $5,000 dream vacation. This will sound super cheesy, but I feel like I already won…I get to transform a space using amazing tile by Jeffrey Court. I am all in!!!

One Room Challenge – Week 5 – DIY PegBoard

Alright, we are just finishing up with week 5 and I seriously cannot believe how incredibly fast these weeks have flown by. That means there is only ONE more week until the BIG reveal. Oh my!!! I am working as fast as humanly possible and that deadline seems awfully tight…Wish me luck guys, I’m gonna need it! May 9th is sneaking on us so quickly!

 

As always, it is so inspiring to see all the other guest participants designs and of course the featured designers, as well. Be sure to have a look on the One Room Challenge (ORC) Blog site to see all the amazing projects going on.


KonMari Update – Sparking Joy Yet?

Well, it has been almost two months since I started my KonMari journey. And it has most definitely been a journey…filled with lots of trash, recycles and so much organizing. All we have left is the garage, and maybe some photo keepsakes. I fully blame my husband and the fact that it is just plain cold outside in the winter to be organizing a garage as to why we haven’t gotten to that part of the house. The photos, well that is all me, they are so distracting and then I get so sad my kids are so grown up!! 

Let’s Refresh for Spring!!

Can you believe it?? Spring is here…and we all survived another Winter, some of us better then others! 😉 So, let’s finally let Spring into our homes. Nothing is better than opening up those windows and letting the fresh air and light into our homes. This year for Spring, I am trying to keep it light and airy in my decor. Lots of neutrals and greenery everywhere!

Red Velvet White Chocolate Cookies

Every place I have been to this week is filled with hearts, candy, treats, and all things red and pink. I figured I better get into the Valentine’s spirit a little bit and bake some of my kids favorite cookies. A few years ago I went to a Valentine’s cookie exchange and this Red Velvet Cookie recipe was the cookie the kids requested be made again. The cookies are so yummy and actually very versatile…these also work well for Christmas, just use different color sprinkles!

Modern Twist on Valentine’s Day 

❤️ Modern Twist on Valentine’s Day ❤️

This year for Valentine’s Day, I wanted to add a Modern twist to my decor. I thought it would be fun to try something a little different from the traditional red, pink and hearts but also, still stay true to the holiday’s fun, flirty style. I did a background of black and white, with pops of color using mostly pink and green. Then added lots of unique, easy and creative DIY’s that everyone can do. Also, remember it’s all about the details! If you look careful at all the pictures the final touches really finish off each space! 😉
