When it came time to deciding on a room theme for each of the girls’ bedrooms in the new house, I paid attention to what I knew they already liked or what they mentioned they might want. Hailey is all into Ariel and mermaids these days so the Under the Sea theme she already had at the last house was going to transfer well to the new room. Brielle meanwhile is very indecisive if you ever ask her about a favorite anything so when I asked what colors she might want in her new room and she said “all of them” I knew rainbow was the right approach. We had a long lack of creative crafting experiences earlier this summer due to house staging, closing and ... Continue Reading...

To learn more about my affiliates, please review my disclosure policy here. We’ve lived in our current home for almost 8.5 years and had been searching for over 1.5 before finding our new house!

Derek’s excited about the actual wood burning aspect of a fireplace but I love that it has a MANTLE! Hello Christmas stockings hanging by a mantle and all the cute holiday ... Continue Reading...
