Remodeling projects always take a vision. And some (like our Waco home) need more vision than you can imagine. ⁣ ⁣ When I saw this photo from Liz @lizlovegrowswild I realized there is hope for our third floor bedroom in our home. (Check out Liz’s Instagram feed. She is amazing!)⁣ ⁣ I am in the middle of Makeover in a Month challenge with my friends KariAnne @thistlewood, Melissa @theinspiredroom, and Marian @missmustardseed. ⁣ ⁣ We are all tackling a room makeover this month. ⁣ ⁣ Week two just ended and guess what? ⁣ ⁣ I am behind. ⁣ ⁣ The good news is that all of my furniture has arrived. The bad news is I still have to paint, add a focus wall, and make a slipcover. ⁣ ⁣ And there are only two weeks left. ⁣ ⁣ No problem. Omg. ⁣ ⁣ Today on the blog I shared my inspiration, all of the amazing furniture, my bookcase dilemma and the $5 chair that can only look better with a slipcover. ⁣ ⁣ It really is that bad. ⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in my Instagram bio to find my blog. ⁣ ⁣ https://my100yearoldhome.com/inspiration-for-my-bedroom-makeover-in-a-month/

It’s been twenty years and our kitchen still looks pretty good. ⁣ ⁣ Especially in the morning light. ⁣ ⁣ This room is the nucleus of our home. ⁣ ⁣ It’s where, as a family, we have always created, laughed and shared. ⁣ ⁣ I have spent so many days in here creating wonderful meals for our family. I have cooked with Dave and our boys by my side. I have cooked with girlfriends and friends. ⁣ ⁣ And there have been some duds. I have tried a few recipes, and made up plenty of my own, that didn’t work. ⁣ ⁣ But that is ok. Life isn’t about success. ⁣ ⁣ It’s all about what we learn, experience, and enjoy along the way. ⁣ ⁣ Even if it happens in the kitchen. ⁣ ⁣ Head to my blog for my update on summer decorating in the kitchen. Just tap on the link on my Instagram home page. ⁣ ⁣ https://my100yearoldhome.com/summer-decorating-ideas-in-the-kitchen/⁣

With all of the time we are spending at home these days, I am finding I want more fresh flowers. ⁣ ⁣ All over the house. ⁣ ⁣ I don’t call a florist. I don’t go to the flower mart (it’s closed). Instead, I buy all of my flowers at the grocery store. ⁣ ⁣ Some of my best flower arrangements are made with grocery store flowers. ⁣ ⁣ Including this one. ⁣ ⁣ Today I joined fifteen other bloggers and we are sharing our favorite grocery store flower arrangements. ⁣ ⁣ You are going to want to head to my blog to see some really amazing flower arrangements. I am sharing all of my steps to make an arrangement like this. Click on the link in my Instagram home page. ⁣ ⁣ https://my100yearoldhome.com/how-to-arrange-grocery-store-flowers/⁣

I love this photo. ⁣ ⁣ It’s from the amazing Linda @lifeonsummerhill. ⁣ ⁣ Linda has a gorgeous account and I hope you will head on over to her account and follow her!⁣ ⁣ Swipe left to see a pretty outdoor setting and then scroll one more time for the best diy! You can find the complete tutorial for the hanging light on her Instagram. ⁣ ⁣ Linda is a new instagram friend and I am sure you will like her home and creativity as much as I do!⁣ ⁣ Let’s all show her some insta love.

It’s Easy Elegance Wednesdays and I am sharing some of the tables I have set for fall. ⁣ ⁣ Now I know it’s still hot and technically summertime. ⁣ ⁣ But if you were thinking about planning ahead for fall then this might be something you want to read. ⁣ ⁣ If you look closely in this photo you might think I have lost my mind because I posted a table with a Christmas plate. ⁣ ⁣ But this really was a table I set last fall. I am the “mix and match queen” and I decided to include a Spode Gold Christmas Tree plate. ⁣ ⁣ I should probably mention that my guest who was seated in that spot also has a Christmas Eve birthday. ⁣ ⁣ Today on the blog I am sharing a lot of tips about setting a table for fall. It’s also Easy Elegance Wednesday so be prepared for lots of inspiration from my blogger friends too. ⁣ ⁣ https://my100yearoldhome.com/tips-to-setting-a-table-for-fall/

I have mentioned many times that I was very determined to add a wrap around porch to our Waco Airbnb home. ⁣ ⁣ My idea was almost completely axed when my contractor told me the only way to make it work was to take off the existing roof and start over. ⁣ ⁣ This was an expensive decision but I am so happy I said yes. ⁣ ⁣ You see, there is a gorgeous hundred year old oak tree that really wants to be admired from our wrap around porch. ⁣ ⁣ Now that it is done I know that it was one hundred percent the right thing to do. ⁣ ⁣ And I now tell everyone that from the start I always knew we would have a wrap around porch. (Just don’t tell anyone that it almost didn’t happen.)⁣ ⁣ Swipe left for porch construction photos. ⁣ ⁣ Our porch is now outfitted with amazing furniture from @bedbathandbeyond and it is important to note that all of the furniture arrived in April. ⁣ ⁣ Which means I haven’t even seen it in person. ⁣ ⁣ So I am living vicariously from the photos. Just like you. ⁣ ⁣ If you would like details about our new porch furniture or are interested in renting our home next time you are in Waco, then just click on the link on my Instagram home page. ⁣ ⁣ https://my100yearoldhome.com/we-finished-the-wrap-around-porch-at-our-waco-airbnb/⁣
