Fall Porch Decor

October 24, 2017 8 Comments

Well, it’s finally starting to feel like fall here in Michigan! It’s been an odd season this year. It has been unseasonably warm and pretty dry. I’m not complaining at all, but I will say, the weather is taking a bit of a toll on my fall porch decor. The pumpkins are practically baking in the sun on my porch since it’s pretty much full sun all day. And my poor mums. They need to be watered almost every day! But again, no complaints here! I am soaking in every last bit of this Read More

Distracted

October 2, 2017 2 Comments

Today I wanted to share this coffee table with you guys. Is it a new project? Nope. I’m pretty sure I took these pictures in early spring. But I got distracted. And the only thing that made me think of it is that my hubby and I made a couple more tables like this one to sell at The Found Cottage and I wasn’t going to share them on the blog because I thought I already had! How crazy is that?! I had styled and taken the photos months ago and then never Read More

White Dresser Makeover

September 22, 2017 3 Comments

Oh my goodness! It’s finally Friday, you guys! I feel like Fridays are extra special once school starts back up. Like they actually mean the end is near! Well, at least a couple days worth of “end”! No more packing lunches or running kids back and forth to their schools! It’s a glorious feeling! Earlier this summer, my cousin brought over this dresser for their baby-to-be’s room! I don’t usually do custom pieces, but I’m so glad I said I’d help them out when they asked me to redo this garage sale find Read More

Finding a New Normal

August 25, 2017 5 Comments

I have so many thoughts in my head and so much I want to share with you guys, but life is busy! I’ve been debating on when and how I wanted to share this with you guys, but I guess now is the time…we got a puppy! (If you follow me on Instagram, you probably already know this!) And thus…I’m navigating toward a new normal in life. As many of you know, our dog, Bailey, passed away just a couple weeks ago. It was absolutely heartbreaking and rocked my whole world. And I Read More

A Broken Heart

August 9, 2017 28 Comments

Earlier this week, I lost one of my best friends. Our sweet dog, Bailey, passed away at 11.5 years old. I can’t believe I’m even typing that. How did this even happen? As much as I knew it was coming – she was on the older end of an Airedale Terrier’s life span (10-12 years), I honestly thought we had a few months left with her. And I’m completely devastated. I didn’t know I’d take it this hard. I knew she was getting worse and worse over this past month and my husband and I Read More

Milk Painted Toy Chest

July 24, 2017 4 Comments

Hey guys! So, let’s just cut to the chase. I was scrolling through my posts the other day and found this one in my drafts. I had all the pictures uploaded, but never wrote the post! Hmmm, #momlife at its finest. Am I right?! I mean, clearly I put effort into not only painting this toy chest, but also styling and then photographing it. And editing and uploading the photos. And then I just forgot about it?? Oh man. I’m way too distracted these days! LOL! This toy chest started its life in Read More

Blogging Journey … Hustling for your Worth

July 19, 2017 22 Comments

Wow, you guys! It’s been almost 4 months since my last post! How did that even happen? Somewhere along the way of my blogging break, I figured out that I was hustling for my worth. I was hustling in blogging, but I was also hustling in real life. And man, is that exhausting. And I guess it all just ended up being too much for me and I had to just stop everything. When you hustle for your worth, you start out by being yourself. And people like it. And then you want them Read More

I hope you guys are having a wonderful beginning to 2017! Time is just flying by over here. I swear the days just whoosh by and then the next one is here! Can someone please make time slow down just a little so I can get maybe just a few more things done around the house?! Speaking of which…I finally did another project today.
