Spring Cleaning Made Easy

Thank you to Swiffer for sponsoring this post… Spring Cleaning Made Easy! Two years ago, we made the best decision to add wood floors throughout the majority of our home.

This made the process more enjoyable and allowed me to create a functional and relaxing outdoor space. In late February, I visited my local At Home to scope out their patio selection and immediately knew this was going… Read More

The Creation and Importance of Area Rugs

Hi friends! In this blog post, I’ll be talking about the creation and importance of area rugs and why I love using them in my home and on any surface. I’ve often been asked, “why add a rug on top of carpet?” The answer is simple… There’s no rule that says you can’t.

Try adding a new rug! Have you ever wondered… Read More

Of course, with any new space, it takes living in it for a time to see it’s potential. During the… Read More
