Some Updates - Home and More

(Tray, Painted Fox Treasures – affiliate link in sidebar)

It has felt like a very busy month with a Kindergartner starting school, a mini kitchen renovation, and fall around the corner. I am thankful to say that we are finaly settling into the routine of school, using our kitchen and enjoying this new season. I am hoping to share a small tour of our kitchen and the rest of our home at the beginning of next week. For now, here are some small updates and projects we have done as we move into Autumn.

Some Updates - Home and More

We have fixed the structural issues with our island and adjusted the grout.  Now there are just little things to add – like the finishing work, some calking, painting, etc… After all the work involved with this kitchen update we are in no hurry to make it all happen.  We are taking our time and trying to pace ourselves – DIY can be a tiring process although rewarding! I did find these two counter stools while thrifting the other day.  I scored the set for less than $20 and they were perfect for our renovated kitchen.  I wil be adjusting thier hight and giving them some paint, but it just goes to show that updates and decorating truly can be affordable!

I have a collection of pumpkins going on throughout the house.  I enjoy mixing real ones, painted faux ones (most of these are dollar store) and of course some greenery.  I can’t decide where to keep my new Between You and Me Sign and I am loving it here for now.

I recently made this throw using Lucy from Craftberry Bush’s tutorial for a tassel throw.  As you can see peeking through the windows, the leaves are turning a golden hue and it couldn’t be more beautiful.

Lastly, I have the honor of contributing monthly to this new online Magazine, Everything Home Magazine.  I will be doing a column titled, The Inspired Room and will be sharing inspiring spaces and the details/story behind these lovely rooms. You can head to the website and subscribe for free. Hope you will check it out!  Thanks so much for stopping by and hope the rest of your week is wonderful.

    You found an amazing set of stools!!! I think it is so much more fun to search for a set of $20 stools and make them you, than it is to open a catalog and spend $200. Your room is really coming together.

We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (sh We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (shared it in stories today) and I can’t tell you enough how nice it is to hear that pretty little sound 🎵 ... I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
