A Simple DIY Outdoor Plant Shelf To Disguise Ugly Utility Boxes
When we shared pictures of our front porch last fall, we said that our decorating strategy out here was basically “plants and more plants.” It helps visually connect the porch to all of the greenery surrounding our house and – as we’ll show you today – it’s also helping us hide some less-than-pretty parts of […]
Our Bedroom Ten Months In (Houston, We Have A Closet!)
Long story short, instead of having 8 doors that lead outside in our bedroom (yes, we really had that many), we now have 6. And spoiler alert: it’s still plenty. We really just use the middle set along this huge wall of doors to go in and out, but the view and the light that […]
How We Created A Cozy Fire Pit Area In Our Formerly Boring Side Yard
We’ve been enjoying this fire pit hangout spot for months now, but it hasn’t been on the blog… until today.

Updating A Covered Porch With Floor Paint & A Hanging Tent
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about living here, it’s that we do a ton of living outside. Between each at-home learning break the kids are out there running around, we make s’mores at our fire pit every week or so, we sit on our front porch and watch the neighborhood dogs go by, and […]
