Easy Thanksgiving Table Idea

November 15, 2020

Easy Thanksgiving Table Idea

One of the best days of the year is almost here, so today I'm sharing an idea for an easy Thanksgiving table! Shop the post: With so many families having a smaller Thanksgiving this year, this easy table is perfect for a smaller group. I decided to use the huge roll of Kraft paper I already own. Writing each person's name creates an update on the traditional place card. (It is inevitable that someone will spill cranberry sauce on the white tablecloth anyway, so why not make the table …

Home Renovation Tips and Tricks

Today I'm sharing our tips and tricks after our experience gut-renovating our Cape home... what we are SO glad we did, and what we wouldn't do again! We bought our house back in 2010, thinking we would be there for maybe 3-5 years. In 2018 (8 years later!) we finally sat down and had a serious conversation about whether we were going to move or renovate. We were quickly outgrowing our little home, and there were just some things we really wanted. A garage, another bathroom on the second …

Home Renovation Q&A

Home Renovation Q&A

Last week I responded to a bunch of home renovation questions on Instagram, but I wanted to share them here so they can "live" longer than just the 24 hour Stories! I'm happy to do another Home Renovation Q&A as I keep sharing more and more details! I also plan to share each room as we finish it (which will probably be after we've been moved in for a while, because #toddlermomlife). Did you just buy your house? Not at all! We bought it almost 10 years ago, but a couple of years ago …

Navy Blue and White Home Color Palette

Navy Blue and White Home Color Palette

When we started designing our kitchen, we knew that we wanted white cabinets. Our kitchen for years has had light-colored wood, stainless steel appliances, and beige-ish tile floors. I couldn't wait to get rid of those cabinets - or the recessed lighting that was everywhere! You can see what our kitchen looked like in this blog post. One of my favorite things about the new kitchen (even though it isn't yet installed) is the island. We decided to do all white cabinets in the kitchen, aside from …
