One of my favorite spots in our house is the giant shiplap wall in my living room. It was one of the first major DIY home improvement projects my husband and I tackled when we bought our new house, and this 20 foot wall makes a big impact. It's also one of my favorite places to decorate during the holidays. I love being able to change out my holiday decor above the fireplace and brighten things up with simple and easy decor.

It has been raining here non stop. I seriously can't remember the last time we saw the sun, which is quite frankly starting to make me go bananas. I don't think I would handle living in a climate where there are gloomy skies and rain all the time, this girl needs sunshine! But then again I'm reminded of that old saying "you can't have a rainbow without a little rain", and I realize sometimes you need a good storm to see the bright beginnings. But, while I am waiting on … [Read more...]
