This post was sponsored by A'vant Vanity Surfaces but the opinions are my own. Honey Oak is the bane of my existence. I get it was a thing, and some people can do amazing looking rooms with a honey oak cabinet...but I am not one of those people. When we bought our house, there was honey oak as far as the eye ...

Spring Outdoor Updates
This post was sponsored by Mid-America Shutters, but all opinions are my own. One of the most pressing issues in my crazy brain has been the aesthetic of our house. The house has had good bones, but it hasn’t had the oomph that would really make it a home, you know what I mean? Our 2017 has been spent upgrading ...
One Room Challenge: The Door Reveal
National Hardware and Modern Masters supplied product for this post. Okay, so I've slacked a bit on my big plans for our kitchen redo. Sorry. We did get the faucet done, though! BUT not all is lost, especially for the biggest part of the redo: my laundry room doors. If you've been following along, you know ...
6 Month Check In
This post was sponsored, and paid for, by SunTrust. All opinions are my own. Mr. and I still talk about the day we decided to leave NYC and find a house to call our own.

We've made a lot of progress so far, but as always, it feels like more things could be done. One thing we really need to tackle ...
Ready for Spring, even if New York isn’t (plus a giveaway!)
Man, it feels like this snow won't ever let up. And yes, I've gotten plenty of "well you moved upstate, what did you expect?" I did not expect this: So when I had the opportunity to get some sort of sunshine in my life, I jumped on it right away! Method just released a whole new line of Kitchen Hand Gel ...
Creating a Beautiful Room for Guests
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CORT. All opinions are 100% mine. You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about our downstairs bedroom and the creative ways I could use it. This bedroom isn’t used often since guests really have to want to come see us (as opposed to when we lived in NYC, where coming to ...
My easy mailbox number DIY
The mailbox that came with our home, bless its heart, was on the way out. Wait, let me back up. One of the mailboxes that came with our home was on the way out. The other one, which was attached to our house, was a wasp nest. (Yes, seriously) So obviously Wasp City, USA was removed the week we came up ...
