EASTER HOME DECOR + SOURCES | 2022
04/09/2022
Just “hopping” on to share the Easter touches around the house this year. (Sorry, it had to be said.) I LOVE decorating for Christmas. But a close second is decorating for Easter because that means green grass and warm weather is right around the corner. It also inspires me to do a little spring cleaning before I allow myself to add in all the happy Easter touches. There’s nothing better than a clean house full of happy little Easter bunnies. I added a few new Easter decor items into the mix this year. One can never had too many bunnies, right? Bunny Wreath // Mine is several years old but I’ll link this year’s version. It’s just as cute. Bunny Pair Pillow Hopping Bunnies Basket // mine from when I was a kid. Speckled Eggs // Were from Hobby Lobby years ago. Looks like they are brighter colored now....
I can’t wait any longer. It’s time to extend the living spaces outside again and I couldn’t be happier....
Never underestimate the power of a little elbow grease and paint. Two years ago I did a quick makeover...
STAIRWAY REMODEL | CARPET TO WOOD
03/09/2022
DIYing a stairway remodel from carpeted builder grade rough-in stairs to stained wood with painted raisers is not for the faint of heart. Rebuilding stairs as a “non-professional stair builder” is a feat in and of itself. Then there is the sanding, the wood filler, the caulk, the stain, the sealer and the paint – all while maintaining a usable path to the upstairs bedrooms. It’s a backache filled, not-fun-at-all process but the final product is 110% worth it. After we installed the pine wood floors throughout the dining, living and family rooms, we tackled the stairway. Sadly, I apparently never got a before picture of the carpeted stairs. But you can see in the first photo on the left how we changed the traditional rounded bottom step to a more modern squared off look. The original stairs were just basic stairs that were carpeted over. We tore all...

I had no idea that you could make homemade vanilla extract using only two ingredients until I received this cute bottle from my sister for Christmas. Now I want to make bottles upon bottles to have on hand, use and give as gifts. It would be perfect for birthday, Christmas, new neighbor, bridal shower or wedding, housewarming or just because gifts. In preparing to make my own, I’ve compiled some helpful info. to keep in mind. Though vanilla beans are costly, the final cost versus store-bought vanilla extract is a significant savings. Another benefit of making homemade is you know the ingredients are 100% clean. Instead of buying vanilla beans in a grocery store, look online for better values. Etsy and Amazon are good options. There are different types of vanilla beans all with varying flavor notes. Madagascar vanilla beans are most commonly used in vanilla extract but any...
I honestly don’t know why I do the things I do sometimes. Why I ordered white blinds for the...
