Mesquite Flip House Sources (part 1)
Built in 2001, this house had AMAZING bones! I think we only had to rip out two tiny sections of wall, in fact. It had a great floor plan, super high ceilings downstairs, and was in one of the best locations in town. There was an existing pool and spa along with a half acre …
Cozy Fur Blanket Round Up
My new obsession this winter is fur blankets! They are the easiest way to instantly cozy up any space! And from a decorative stand point, adding texture to a room is always a good thing! I’ve rounded up some of my favs, several of which I personally own, to make finding just the right one …
Christmas Entry Decor
Yesterday I shared part of the front porch all decorated for Christmas with you, so today it makes sense to share the front entry. Looking out of our double front doors into the front yard: Nothing to see from the front doors but the woods. Just the way we like it! Console table: Close up: …
Breakfast Nook Tour

Hostess With the Mostess Tip #1
Hostess tip: I like to leave some mouth wash out on the guest bathroom or powder room counter for guests to swish if they’re feeling less than fresh after indulging in a big lunch or dinner. I decant the mouth wash into an oil dispenser, which I grabbed along with some little disposable cups from …
Ottoman Redo
Ten years ago my parents made me a nice, wonderfully sturdy ottoman for Christmas. This poor ottoman was built well, thankfully, because it made it through the rough-on-furniture toddler/preschooler/big kid years with nary a wobbly leg. Not to mention about 10 moves (including a cross-country move). I forgot to get a “before” shot, but here’s a close …
Rental Tour
Our house is just a few days from being done! I snapped a few photos last week of the rental we are in for the realtor so she could list it with some fresh photos, and thought I’d share. It’s been a great house for us, but we will be glad to not be driving …
