Below is our Step-by-Step DIY for how to build a backyard firepit with minimal time and tools!

We started working on the girls’ bedroom as one of our first home projects in this old home! With many big life events happening in between it took much longer to wrap up than we anticipated, but I really loved the process so much. Kids’ bedrooms are my favorite to work on because you can step into their imaginative and whimsical worlds and try to reflect that into their surroundings. The girls were missing their old room so I took many of the same elements and re-worked the plan to make a little magic in their new space.

Our dining room is at the center of our 1860’s Italianate home. It is a large room with tall ceilings, and I couldn’t help but envision what it was like in it’s original glory. This era of homes often had murals on the walls either hand painted or in wallpaper form. It felt too risky to try at first, but after going through countless paint and wallpaper samples I kept going back to this idea. Today we are sharing a break down of our dining room renovation step by step – the elements we used, paint colors, and process.

Right before the whirlwind of the holidays we did a bathroom makeover for our girls! I have been dying to try peel and stick tile, and this was the best place to do so. Down the road we will probably install new vanities and tile, but for now this was a good challenge for working with the existing space.

This past year still feels to raw to even write about. I shared when I could on instagram, but so much of it felt too deep and too personal to ever put on the internet. I still debate where or how to share these things, but I will say that Christmas felt like such a grace. A balm to the weary heart. It felt like the joyful Christmases of my childhood. Ones that were filled with simple things like candy canes on the tree, a last minute second hand dollhouse find, sibling gift exchange, giant oranges on the bottom of the stockings, and sparkling cider in fancy glasses.
