Our Homemade Window Boxes

These window boxes make our house exterior feel complete (besides the need for a new roof 😜)!! When we took out the overgrown trees on this side of the house and decided to forgo shutters when we had the house painted, it just seemed too bare on this part of the house. So, we decided to add some window boxes! Dan made these by hand and honestly his handiwork never disappoints!

The One Design Decision We Did In Our Entryway That we Regret Not Doing in All of Our Interior Renovations

I know this is a long title! Anyway, this is a post I’ve been thinking about sharing since we did our entryway renovation. Once we did our other interior renovations and lived with them for a while, I strongly regretted one of our design decisions. It was actually more of a design neglect because we honestly didn’t think about it—it was more like oh this is how everyone does it so this is how it’s done. But then the more interior education and studying up I did on styles I admire, I realized the mistake…

DIY Kids Art Table Makeover // Chalkboard Top

Anchor’s art table has been sitting sort of dormant in our upstairs office since he uses our larger dining room table to do art projects on. I really thought it was such a shame because it’s such a nicely made table and I really don’t like having things in our home that we don’t use. So, I thought painting it and creating a chalkboard top could be a fun way to get it back in use again!

Autumn Bedding + Our Fall Family Bucket List

The bedding was given to me by Garnet Hill in exchange for my honest review.

I’m sure by now you guys know I love switching up our bedding for the seasons :) I think it’s such a great way to “decorate” for the new season, plus it’s practical since we need to change up the layers anyway! I’m so happy to be partnering with Garnet Hill again to use their beautifully made bedding for our fall look.

Our Front Landscaping Plans

Okay guys, this has been something that we have been hemming and hawing over for the past year. When we moved into this house there was a lot of nice landscaping but so much of it was overgrown and some of it was leaning against the house. Dan worked so hard last year to take down what needed to be and we came up with a landscaping plan, bought the plants and put them in. It looked great but this year we noticed that it still wasn’t as neat as we wanted. So we decided to call in the professionals!

Kids DIY: Give Bank Made With Recycled Jar

I saw “give” “save” and “spend” banks for sale and LOVED the idea of a kids bank specifically for giving. I think this will get him more excited, involved and give him a better understanding about what it is to give. Essentially we are using it as a little bank where he can add some money to it each time he receives/earns some, then find ways to use it for good once he accumulates enough.
