Three ways to cover mobile home walls

Being a blogger who lives in a mobile home, I tend to get a lot of mobile home related emails and questions about renovating them. I don't particularly write this blog for mobile home folks per say, I try to share my ideas on how to make the most of whatever home you have. While we could easily afford a real house, it wouldn't be in the same place where I live now, and there's no place on earth I'd rather live. So we just make the most of what we have and do our best to bring our vision of home ... continue reading...

Painting walls in a mobile {trailer} home

I get a lot of emails about how I paint the walls in our mobile home. I know I don't talk about living in a mobile home all that often, not because I'm ashamed of it, but because I just don't think of it that way - its just our home.

To cover the joints they put little strips over the ... continue reading...

If you're new around here, welcome! Pull up a mason jar of sweet tea & sit a spell as we take a quick tour of our home. So here's the quick backstory: About 15 years ago, my husband and I bought my childhood home from my parents. Eventually we ... continue reading...

Farmhouse Style Summer Tour of Homes

It's been quite some time since I've shared a home tour, so today I've gathered up a few of my friends for a Summer Tour of Homes, farmhouse style! It's been a couple of years since I hosted the Summer Tour of Homes, so some spaces look similar, while others have been given a complete overhaul. Like our living room. After years of putting it off over and over again, we finally took the time to rip out all the old (read: gross) carpet, remove our non-functional fire place, as ... continue reading...
