During the beach house remodel, a problem arose with the staircase remodel. It left an opening in the wall in need of a creative solution. It was planned that there would be a solid wall up the staircase to the 3rd-floor deck. But when they went to build it, the new wall didn’t align with…

Although it’s not finished, I wanted to share our primary bedroom remodel ideas. I can’t wait to share how I intend to finish this room. Meanwhile, we have made a lot of progress in this room. If you recall, not too long ago it had purple drywall on all of the rooms! But it’s comfortable…

Today I am sharing tips to plan a trip to Waco and the Magnolia Silos. It’s one of my favorite places to visit so I bought and remodeled a home there! Waco is an amazing place and I love visiting everything it has to offer. I love the Magnolia Silos and everything about Waco! Four…
We spent our third night at the Ventura beach house last night and it’s incredible. We still aren’t done yet but making lots of progress. There is still a lot that needs to be done at the Ventura beach house. But I am okay with that. I made so much progress this past week and…
It has been a crazy week at the Ventura Beach House! We are moved in (and starting to decorate) and are now managing the finishing projects. I want to pinch myself that the Ventura beach house project is almost done! It is turning out exactly how I pictured it in my mind, maybe even a…

Decorating our kitchen for Christmas is easy to do because it’s white with green walls! I had fun using old and new Christmas kitchen decor. I always decorate our kitchen with lots of red and green. But I can’t add too much because our kitchen is a working kitchen. This means I cook almost every…
