#sponsored Have you decorated for Christmas? I'm just starting and @thebouqsco is helping me get in the holiday spirit!
This amazing fresh garland named ‘Homestead’ definitely sets the tone and adds a festive touch. The best part about Bouqs is that their products will stay fresher longer because they are sourced directly from the farm and handpicked at the optimal time. Adding in fresh greens makes my house smell amazing and sets the tone for the holidays. #bouqspartner #thebouqsco

Well, I made the deadline by the skin of my teeth!

Well, I made the deadline by the skin of my teeth!😅
My #oneroomchallenge bathroom was a really hard one for me. There were so many things that I changed once I saw them in the room.
I think I just had too much going on, but I’m glad I got it done. 🎉
Thanks for sticking with me!! 😘

Well, I guess it’s no surprise to you that I’m

Well, I guess it’s no surprise to you that I’m not quite finished with my #oneroomchallenge ! 😅
However…I’m so close and I’ll get it done by this weekend.
It’s always good to look back on past projects to motivate me to finish the last little bit. This was my office ORC from 2018.
Here’s to finishing and a sneak peek! 😘

Well, it’s week 5 of the #oneroomchallenge and I

Well, it’s week 5 of the #oneroomchallenge and I’m really behind. I didn’t post anything the last couples of weeks for a few reasons…
1.) I couldn’t decide on a color. (As seen in the second two photos.) 🎨
2.) I was having some health issues, then I went to Texas to see my mom who had a stroke. 😞
All that to say, I’m ready to get thing wrapped up, and today I’m sharing the DIY vanity light I made!
I’m still not sure about the mirrors and the artwork will change…but it feels good to have some progress to share.
I hope you have a great weekend!

Well to say this week hasn’t gone as planned is

Well to say this week hasn’t gone as planned is an understatement! 🤦🏼‍♀️
I don’t have a #oneroomchallenge update for you because our family has had some curveballs this week, and when I’m emotional can’t seem to make decisions…apparently.
I’m rethinking my entire design now AND still haven’t decided on a wall color.
🤞🏻I can make some progress this weekend, but if not, I’m ok with it.
Here’s my ORC bedroom for a few years ago, instead. 😅

It’s week 2 of the #oneroomchallenge and I final

It’s week 2 of the #oneroomchallenge and I finally have a new vanity!!
(You can see the old one in the second picture. )
Also, does anyone have a suggestion for taking some of the pink out of my “new to me” vintage rug? It didn’t look that pink in the pictures online. 🤔

It’s One Room Challenge time again…and I’ve

It’s One Room Challenge time again…and I’ve decided to do my primary bathroom!
I’ve done several spaces over the years and it’s always so much fun to participate with others to knock out a project.
My goal is to do this VERY inexpensively, and I’d love for you to follow along with me!
This is our guest bedroom from a couple of years ago and the second photo is the mood board for the bathroom. 😁

Two lamp posts in a row…please don’t unfollow

Two lamp posts in a row…please don’t unfollow me! 😬
I rewired that little, alabaster lamp in the corner. Isn’t it cute?!?
I added this cabinet when I remodeled a few years ago and it has made our kitchen so much more functional. It also helps that we have an extra surface to add ambient lighting in the evening.💡 #lampoclock

I have bit of a problem when it comes to lighting.

I have bit of a problem when it comes to lighting. 😬
But let’s be honest…can you ever have too many lamps??
I got this glass and brass lamp last week and gave it a small makeover today. Swipe to the last slide to see the before. Also check my stories to see what I did…if you’re interested. 😁
