Hang In There: How to Make a (Reversible) DIY Wood Wall Hanging

July 16th, 2018 | 4 comments

In an effort to fill at least one of the blank walls of my house with something other than a painting or print, I came up with this easy DIY wood wall hanging. And wanted to share the tutorial today. It’s reversible!

My only requirements when starting this project were that I didn’t want it to require more than a few measurements (wasn’t feeling the math vibes that day), a few tools, or add up to more than $20. And if it could be reversible, that would be cool too. So, that’s what I did! Click through to see the other side of this reversible wall hanging and learn how to make your own.

July 11th, 2018 | 4 comments

For some reason, when it comes to jeans, jean jackets, etc I just can’t let them go no matter how long it’s been since I last wore them. Case and point…I currently have a pile of denim sitting in the bottom drawer of my dresser that I haven’t worn in years. YEARS.

So in an effort to revamp some of my worn wares into something new, I went searching for ways to upgrade the denim clothing I already have into something new and now I’m feeling pretty good about my hoarding ways. Haha. Upgrade those clothes that are sitting in the back of your closet with this list of 13 ways to spruce up the denim you already have.

July 10th, 2018 | 11 comments

This post is in partnership with Who Gives a Crap. Funny name, but seriously cool company that donates 50% of their profits to building toilets and improving sanitation in developing countries.

I just had family in town last week for a visit and more family will be coming into town this week. Which means, getting my guest bedroom and bathroom in order has been a top priority the last two weeks.

And since I’ve just about wrapped up the bathroom, I thought I’d share a little sneak peek, along with my top three essentials that every guest bathroom should have before your first guest arrives. Can you guess what they are? You’ll have to click through to find out!

Just Peachy: Peach and Prosciutto Caprese Salad

July 9th, 2018 | 4 comments

I don’t know if you’ve ever had Georgia peaches when they’re in-season, but they are the most delicious peaches I’ve ever had. And since they’re in season right NOW, I’ve been eating as many as I can get my hands on.

Then, Amelia told me about this peach salad she had a restaurant nearby and we decided to make our own version with a twist. It’s a peach and prosciutto caprese salad with a blackberry balsamic reduction! If this salad doesn’t scream summer, I don’t know what does. So, do your tastebuds a favor and click through for the recipe. Tastes great without the prosciutto too, if you don’t eat pork.

July 5th, 2018 | 7 comments

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’m still working on lots and LOTS of things in the house to get the entire place in more of a ‘finished’ state. I blame my intense nesting on the ticking time bomb that is another human’s arrival in less than three months.

Anyway, I’m currently working on the dining room, the guest bedroom and bathroom (sharing the bathroom Tuesday), and the nursery mostly. So….lots of home decor is floating around on my computer right now. And since Etsy is a space that I still shop year after year (and seems to be pretty popular with you guys as well), I rounded up some of my favorite home decor products from Etsy. Here’s what I’m eyeing right now for our home…
