an unconventional home
The year is halfway over. I’m finally getting the hang of writing 2018 instead of 2017, so I’m ahead of the game.
Two things often happen this time of year in our household.
We realize there are SO MANY PROJECTS we wanted to finish that haven’t even been started. #outoftime
We spend some time looking closely at our budget and SHUT DOWN ALL SPENDING. #outofmoney
Yes. I realize these two things are in direct contrast to one another. Such is life.
Every year, we take some small steps to improve the curb appeal of our home. After building our own home two years ago, our yard was pretty much just dirt.
So every change – no matter how small – makes a huge difference in making the front of our home look a little more welcoming and beautiful.

Summertime is here – and so is our summer home tour.

Memorial Day has come and gone – and that means all the red, white and blue.
I’m not mad about it. Americana decor is my jam – and it just feels right in our farmhouse.
Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner – and if you are new around here, that means I’m currently throwing red, white and blue around the house like confetti.
Oooooo….. confetti. That’s an idea.
I just love all things Americana. There’s something about summer that feels so patriotic, and our farmhouse just begs me to cover it in stars and stripes. As part of 2018’s Red, White and Blue-ing, I’ve also been cleaning and sprucing up the back porch. I thought this large wooden star needed a dose of the grand ol’ flag.
