Welcome to the Summer Tour of Homes! This is the third year for the tour - and I'm always amazed by all the support you give it each year. (You can check out the previous years here: 2013 or 2014.) As always, there are a lot of familiar favorites, plus this year we're inviting a few new blogs to the tour as well. So I guess you'd like for me to quit stalling and get to the good part, right? Let's take a look at my home... This is what you see when you walk in my front door. ... continue reading...

My favorite room: Master Bedroom
Today I'm excited to take part in the Stylin' Blogger Home Tours with Lindsay from White Buffalo Styling Co. If you're joining in from DesignPost Interiors, welcome!

We bought two of them ... continue reading...
Creating a pantry when you don’t have one
If I complain about one more flipping thing when it comes to mobile home living, someone might come after me with a knife or something. Yeah, I know - we chose this house, but sometimes making the most of it will drive me bonkers. See: No pantry. We built some upper cabinets in our laundry room, but it was never enough space, always cluttered so much I could never find anything and forget about even trying to be organized. But I found a solution. It may not be beautifully, completely organized, ... continue reading...
Bringing old windows back to life
Unless you know me in real life, you've never seen the outside of my house. There's a seriously good reason for that: until a few days ago it was one hot mess. Like the hottest mess to end all hot messes. It was like Ke$ha multiplied by Amanda Bynes, then topped off with some Lindsay Lohan, and some Miley Cyrus for garnish. Yeah. But, I'm on a mission to make the outside match the inside - and it's finally time to give the outside a major makeover. We're in the process of building all ... continue reading...
