What We Accomplished In Our Home This Year…

A Look Back At Our Home Throughout The Year!

What We Have Changed Here In Our Home This Last Year!

Hello again friends! I know I said that I wouldn’t be back until the New Year… But I have one last post that is a fun one to share with you! I am joining my friend Lory at Designthusiasm to reflect on the things we have done and worked on in our homes this last year. So I went down memory lane and grabbed some photos that help show what projects and updates we have made this 2019. Plus I will be sharing some plans for 2020 as well!

We started Jan. 2019 with our kitchen renovation and we are still very much enjoying it a year later! This included countertops, fixtures, appliances and more…

Here you can see our little hall closet that we converted into a mini mudroom or whatever you want to call it ;). I just painted the area and cleaned it up with some new accessories.

We also changed out our long rectangular table for a large round one with some Mid Century style seating.

Our bedroom got a refresh!

My Favorite Plants to Garden With

Our garden got a handful of new plants (which I can’t wait to start seeing it all bloom in the spring)!

Easy Indoor Plants and Summer Living Room_

I wanted our home to have more plants last year and that is exactly what I brought in throughout each room…

Laundry Room Makeover Part 9

Our dirty old garage got a major update and we turned it into a clean place that I have deemed the official mudroom!

Easy Holiday Brunch Gathering

It took longer than I expected, but I finally sewed new slips for our barstools.

And lastly, our sunroom got some attention with new beams on the ceiling and a couple leather chairs!

So that leaves the question of what is next for the New Year?! I am still thinking on all of that, but so far…

  • I am painting our lower cabinets in the kitchen…
  • We are adding board and batten to the sunroom wall to match with the fireplace.
  • We will be adding trim work to our bedroom wall…
  • And finally, if it works out… I would love to cover the popcorn ceilings in our formal living room/hallway!

As you can see, we do have some plans. But none of them involve major construction… lol! We are tired, haha! I guess you should never say never so we will see, but it is most definitely not in our plans ;). I love painting and doing finish work so there will be some of that this year and I cannot wait to share more recipes, crafts, home decor, thrifting and more with you this coming year! I so appreciate you being here with me too!

    I loved when you added the beams in your living room! All these updates look so good, even the minor ones. You don’t have to be drastic to make a beautiful change at home 🙂

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
