I Did It Better Homes & Gardens Feature

AH IT’S FINALLY HERE! My issue of Better Homes & Gardens is finally in stores! It didn’t quite feel real until I opened the pages and saw it in print. It was one of my goals to be featured in a major magazine and I’m so proud of myself for accomplishing it. Nonetheless in BETTER HOMES & GARDENS. I already have about 10 copies and will probably buy one every time I see one for the rest of the month :-p If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, you totally should! There are some other amazing furniture makeovers a couple pages after mine from some of my bloggy friends that I was so excited to see!

Hubs brought home a bottle of champs the other night to celebrate and I’ve been overwhelmed with everyone’s kind comments. You all are the best! And the reason I keep doing what I do. So THANK YOU!

This weekend I’ll be finishing up my plans for the laundry room which will be starting in a week and a half! Ah. I’m kinda freaking out but super excited at the same time. I have this vision in my head of how I want it to look and I just hope we can make it happen!

The nursery is so so close to being done. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect light to replace the ceiling fan that’s in there now and I finally found one. Except it’s a basket that I’m turning into a light. So I’ve got a light kit on the way, and we’ll see how it goes ha.

Nothing crazy planned for us this weekend…hubs has a big golf outing for work on Saturday and then Sunday we might go to a local farm and get our fall on with some pumpkins and donuts and apples and all that fun stuff.

Hope you have a great weekend!

    I didn’t have to pick up a copy since I’m a subscriber. It’s so fun to see someone in the magazine that I follow on my computer. Congratulations.

Our laundry room was the first room we renovated w Our laundry room was the first room we renovated when we moved into this home. Mainly because it was the room my FIL had the least emotional attachment to 🤣 I still love it today but have been needing a little change. I’m in this room ALL the time, and was getting bored of looking at the same stuff! So I switched out the laundry basket, hung some artwork on the tile and changed up my vase and greenery. And it instantly feels just different enough to put a smile on my face and kinda make me want to fold all the kids laundry that’s been sitting in the dryer for far too many days 😜 little changes that make a big impact are my favorite 🙌🏻 truthfully: I daydream about painting the cabinets in here too - they read darker in photos but in real life are much more blue. I’ll save that for another day 😉 but for now I’ll stick to painting my bookcase. Head to stories to catch the first stroke of black! 🖤
Who’s cuter? Dilly or the new legs we added to m Who’s cuter? Dilly or the new legs we added to my barrister bookcase? 😍 you know I’m all about repurposing around here and I love that we were able to take legs and other curved pieces from a $20 table I found on Facebook marketplace and add them to this guy! It wasn’t easy and if you get real close you’ll see lots of screws and chipped veneer 😂 but they’re on and I love them. Celebrating slow progress - because that’s how I’m rolling these days 🤪 can’t wait to start painting soon! #breinspired

Thank you for continuing to show up and be a part of this with me - I’m so proud of the community we’ve built here together and appreciate each and every one of you more than you know 🤍 now for the fun part!

5! Our spunky, sassy, passionate, dramatic, kind, 5! Our spunky, sassy, passionate, dramatic, kind, loving, fearless, stubborn, strong willed girl is 5 today and my heart is bursting with pride for who she has become. From the way she is her brothers biggest cheerleader, to the way she lifts me up when I’m feeling stressed and overwhelmed, I’m constantly amazed at the depth of feeling she already has. Eloise I pray you never lose your fierce spirit and beautiful imagination and keep bringing joy to everyone you meet. WE LOVE YOU. 🤍 #birthdaygirl👑
$10 well spent 🙌🏻 I’ll never get tired of $10 well spent 🙌🏻 I’ll never get tired of a good thrift store makeover what about you? I love finding unique treasures that add character to our home, but sometimes they need a little TLC. I didn’t love the swirly stripe on the front of this lamp (which some of you liked - and that’s totally ok!) but that didn’t stop me from buying it and turning it into something I now love 😍 next time you’re at an antique or thrift store, try and look past what you see in front of you and imagine the possibilities of what you could create 😉 next up - gallery wall! #breinspired
Musical trees 🌳 all the changes in Hawk’s roo Musical trees 🌳 all the changes in Hawk’s room gave this giant fiddle a new home in our bedroom. He’s fake. But that rubber tree isn’t 🙌🏻 proof I actually CAN keep them alive, despite what you saw in my stories yesterday 🙈 without that skylight he would for sure be dropping leaves like his poor brother. And on that note, I should probably go water him 🤪 what’s one plant you have the best luck keeping alive?
