I am so excited to (finally) finish this faux fireplace tutorial for yall. This project is simple, and it’s not fancy. I love it because it is a basic, cheap DIY that you can easily take and mold to your own style. I keep our home decorated fairly clean and simple. I like a lot of straight lines, which ends up meaning that things are often easy to build. Things are also often easy to build because I am NOT a master DIY-er or handywoman (and neither is my husband). I am going to share with you how we did it. Disclaimer: I am sure there are more “official” or “proper” ways of doing it. But that brings me back to my previous statement. I am not a master. This way worked great for us! This is for anyone else out there who wants to DIY, but needs to keep it easy!

Five Tips For Better Sleep and My New Favorite Place to Get Sheets
Fun fact: We spend an average of 122 days a year sleeping. That’s ONE THIRD of our life. What. Mind is kinda blown. With that said, sleep hygiene is so important. A couple of years ago, I started sleeping terribly. I wouldn’t have trouble falling asleep, but I just could not stay asleep. Once that started happening, I had to trial and error so. many. things. to help me get rest! Tried melatonin — didn’t work. Tried white noise — didn’t work. But today I’m going to share with you what did work AND where to get sheets that help you sleep better. Cheers to that. Click below to see more!

The Easiest DIY Mirror Upgrade
We bought a builder-grade house. And (surprise) it came with builder-grade mirrors. You know, the plain-jane mirrors connected by the little clips. I knew that I wanted to do SOMETHING to make them look better. I contemplated buying new mirrors altogether, which was turning out to be very expensive. So I searched for a more budget-friendly alternative! One of my Instagram buddies, @societyofsumner, had posted how she framed her builder-grade mirrors. Hers came out so good. And I knew I had to do it! I did a little internet search and there are A LOT of people who have done this in various ways. I’m going to share with y’all how I did it. And if you aren’t already wondering… the whole project cost me about $75 for both bathrooms! Continue reading “The Easiest DIY Mirror Upgrade”

Cold Weather Must Haves
The temperatures have dropped as low as 15 degrees in North Idaho so that inspired me to share with y’all my cold weather must haves! Growing up in Southern California, I had no real cold weather clothes. My idea of cold was high 50s low 60s. So I have slowly collected an arsenal of cozy, toasty, warm stuff. Dick’s Sporting Goods is 20% off online today (including sale!) with free shipping so I have collected my favorite cold weather must haves from their website to share with you! This post is not sponsored by Dick’s. I just love a good sale + they have a freaking good selection.

Top Farmhouse Finds For Your Kitchen & Family Room from Amazon
I think it’s pretty safe to say that Amazon rocks. We can shop from the comfort of our own couch – while drinking wine and wearing yoga pants – for literally EVERYTHING. And then it just gets delivered right to our door in those great Prime boxes. But sometimes it’s hard to weed through so many different things because Amazon does have so. many. things. Which is why it’s great! To kinda help you sift through, I’ve curated a list of my Top 20 Farmhouse Buys from Amazon for your kitchen & living room/family room. I own A LOT of these items & really put some time into choosing my very favorites! Have fun & happy Amazon searching! Click the read more button below to see 🙂
Everything under $50 – Christmas decor round-up!
Yes, everything in this list is UNDER $50. I wanted to put together this round up because I think a lot of people don’t realize that you can get REALLY cute decor items without emptying your bank account. I mean, we already have to buy presents… possibly expensive plane tickets… and our property taxes are due. So I think we can all agree that budget-friendly holiday decorations are basically awesome! I’ve organized it by store. There’s everything from tablescape items to wood signs to pillows to tree decorations. If you have any questions, just post a comment & I will try to answer it! I had a lot of fun searching for these budget-friendly buys, and I hope you enjoy looking through them & find something you like 🙂
