Bedroom Renovation
Slowly but surely. That seems to be how my bedroom renovation is coming along. It started out with a tan wallpaper that had small daisies on it. It had nothing but a light bulb for a light fixture. The ceiling was made up of squares that seemed to have some mildew on them. The room wasn't awful, but it wasn't what I wanted. I pictured it much different. I really wanted to paint this room. I began taking the wallpaper off, only to realize there were SIX layers of wallpaper -- all different colors and patterns. One of the wallpaper patterns was of men on horses, I assume fox Continue Reading
Basement Reveal
Basements. I'm glad I have one because, well, tornadoes. But I got to tell ya, my basement was down right scary. There was one single light bulb, a cement floor, crumbling stone walls, and wires going all over the place. I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been used as a torture chamber at some point. So when I found out that the washer and dryer hook ups were in the basement and that was my only option if I wanted to be able to do laundry in my own home, well, I was not looking forward to it. I knew I needed to brighten up the place or I would never want to do laundry, my clothes would Continue Reading
Front Porch Reveal
Guys, I am SO excited about this room. It is my favorite room in my whole house. I love how it turned out, and it really didn't take much work. Check out the before photos. How nasty is that carpet? And those curtains were not working for me. Let's take a closer look. I took down the curtains and cleaned around all the windows. There wasn't anything I could do with the carpet. I thought about pulling it up, but the cement underneath had been painted at one point and it was going to need a lot of work. So instead, I decided to cover the carpet with one big rug. But here's the thing -- Continue Reading
Secret Spinach Smoothie
Popeye knew what he was doing when he was eating all that spinach! It nourishes our eyes, builds our bones, and helps with our digestive system. Spinach is full of vitamins and minerals. Did you know that research studies suggest that spinach in juice form is one of the healthiest ways to consume the green goodness? It's true! Of course, I wouldn't want to drink straight spinach juice. That sounds gross. But I love this secret spinach smoothie -- it's full of spinach but you can't even taste it. Instead, it tastes like a chocolate, peanut butter, banana smoothie! Perfect to give those Continue Reading

Wedding Vow Art
My husband and I wrote our own vows for our wedding. It was something I really wanted to do, and I think we are both so glad that we did it. I love that they were written from the heart and very personal. We wrote our vows separately and didn't hear each other's until our wedding ceremony. It made it even more special! After our wedding, I knew I wanted to create something with our wedding vows to display in our home. I wanted to be reminded of those vows often. I also loved our wedding photos. We had a great photographer, and I figured I could display our wedding vows using our wedding Continue Reading

A relative of mine is basically a gardening master. She loves flowers, and always has such a pretty view near her home.

Chicken Salad with Grapes
I never knew I liked chicken salad until one day I had a little of my mother-in-law's while we were taking a road trip. I was hungry and it was my only option, so I tried it. And low and behold it was actually pretty good. This summer, I tried more chicken salad, and again I liked it. And just a couple weeks ago, my mom took me to a local restaurant where she had been going on and on about their chicken salad. I got some and fell in love just like she had. It was delicious! In fact, I went back again another day, all by myself, for more. I wanted to recreate this amazing chicken salad if Continue Reading
Living Room Reveal
My house is slowly coming along. In four months, I've completed three rooms. That's not too bad considering one of those months was spent in Korea. The latest room to be completed is the living room. There wasn't a lot to be done in this room. Here are the before photos. First, we ripped up the green carpet to reveal beautiful hardwood floors underneath. We added our furniture and wall decor. We took down the old curtains and added new blinds for privacy. I also added new curtains to the big picture window for decoration. I didn't think I would like so much wood and brown Continue Reading
