Purpose-Driven Goals
So I’m a little late in getting to this post. Honestly I meant to post this last week to go along with the challenge I was hosting this week, but time got away from me. Sometimes life just happens. Tomorrow is the last day of the 5 Days to Purpose-Driven Goals challenge, but if creating purpose-driven goals is something you…
How to Make Grey Work
I absolutely love neutral colors! My own personal design color preference is that I tend to lean more towards cooler colors like greys and blues rather than warm colors like yellow and browns. I also tend to prefer lighter, more airy colors as opposed to stuffy, dark colors. In the house that we built, I definitely wanted some grey, neutral…
7 Concepts Those Who Live a Slow, Intentional Life Understand

How to Refinish a Deck
This post contains affiliate links. For more information see disclosures. Over a month ago I posted a list of summer projects I wanted to accomplish.

How to Paint Vinyl Siding
I’ve been anxiously awaiting my decking materials for the past 3 weeks and they have finally arrived! As long as it stays nice this weekend, I will be prepping and restaining the deck, along with installing a new railing – with the help of the hubs of course. I know I’ll be super pumped to cross this summer project off…

This post contains affiliate links. For more information see disclosures. Today’s blog post is all about the projects I have lined up for this summer! It’s definitely an ambitious list, but if I can’t complete all of them this summer, they will just go on my list for next year. If anything, I hope it’ll inspire you to try some…
Project Quarantine
Happy May 1st! It’s been quite awhile since I’ve written a post, and in that time the world has changed quite a bit. The last post I wrote was how a “Cluttered Life Lacks Clarity” back in February – before my 2 week vacation to Costa Rica and Covid-19 became a very real threat in the United States. During the…
A Cluttered Life Lacks Clarity
I’m here to spread some tough love on you this week! If your life is cluttered, whether that be physically or emotionally, you lack clarity in your life. Plain and simple. Physical clutter can be detrimental to your health and wellbeing. It can increase stress levels, decrease your productivity, encourage bad spending habits, and can keep you in debt. If…
DIY Painted Vanity
I know I’ve painted quite a few cabinets since I’ve had this blog (see my kitchen island or my parents’ kitchen), however I feel I have finally perfected the application of paint to wood and veneer cabinets. If you remember this past summer we painted our 2nd floor bathroom (you can see that project here), however it’s still a work…
