Every child needs a rocking horse, in my opinion.  I mean, come on.  How can one gallop away from arrows being shot in their direction, or trot toward prince charming, or even ride off into the sunset without one?  My Ruby needed a trusty steed for her playroom, and I found this sad looking fellow […]

Sometimes when I see a piece of old furniture, I turn into Cher.  Not that Cher.  The Cher from my favorite Jr. High School movie, Clueless, who looked around  and saw sweet, poor, fashion victims– or shall we say “ensembly challenged.”  Except my victims are sofas or vintage chairs and instead of giving them new […]

There are pieces of furniture that are sentimental.  Maybe it’s a rocking chair that has been passed down from grandmother to mother to you.  Maybe it’s a chest your dad made, or a mirror that always hung in your hallway growing up.  For withHEART reader BreAnn, it’s a cabinet that has been passed around her […]

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  I got started on our guest bathroom remodel (finally!).  It’s long overdue, and I’m excited it check it off my to-do list.  I also shot an exciting upcoming video with James.  Can’t wait to share it with you Wednesday.   Here’s a hint– my bedroom has never seen […]

When we moved in, it was purple.  Like Barney the Dinosaur purple.  With […]

I’m in full remodel mode as we are now in the construction phase of our master bedroom re-do (yay!).  We’ve been going room by room in our home, rather than piece-mealing it.  As soon as we completely finish one room, we move on to the next.  So far we’ve finished Ruby’s nursery, the office, the […]

Today I’m taking you inside the bedrooms and family room of our recently completed duplex renovation.  We are still basking in the glow of this massive project’s completion.  Ahhhhhhhh. When you walk in the front door, you enter into the family room.  Underneath all of the yucky carpet, there were original hardwoods.  Many landlords would […]
