A sneak peek...

After weeks of bringing home paint chips I finally decided on colors for the exterior of our house!  After being here 8 years I figured it was time to start making the house look like us.  I have lots of big plans and it is exciting taking on this new adventure!

My color choices...

Plum Shadow is for my front door and accent color.  Dove's Cry (love that name, can you say Prince) is for the shutters and trim and Clay (also happens to be the town where my husband grew up) is going to be the new siding. 

So here is a before of our house...

This past weekend I got the front door started and a few crafty projects for the front porch done.  That is what I am going to share with you today! 

The first thing I want to share with you is a little sneak of my front door and my front door monogram arrangement. 

I told you it was PURPLE!  I love it!!!

The next thing I want to share with you is my front porch planter.  I got this idea from Pinterest and made it my own.

This was really fun and easy to make!  All you need is 3 different size clay pots, some paint, PVC pipe and some alpha stickers!  Just paint, use the PVC pipe to fit the pots together and add some plants!

Finally I want to share you a little something that takes me back to my younger days!  During my last visit to Kentucky I went over to my Aunt Faye's house and noticed those old rusty metal glider.  I instantly fell in love and told my mother-in-law to tell Faye if she ever got rid of that I wanted it.  She said she almost sold it last week I am sure she would give it to you.  Two days later I am driving it home!  It must of been meant to be since I drove my truck to Kentucky that weekend! 

Here it is before...

I decided to go with two colors and here it is after getting most of it done.  Now just got to get all the little details done.

 Here she is all done and ready to go on the front porch!

I featured my projects at A Glimpse Inside this week!  Check them out! Check back next week to see everything all together on our new updated front porch!  Yall have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!

Kitchen Klean Up

My kitchen has been begging for a clean up!  My cabinets were stuffed and not very organized.  So Tuesday I tackled it and am so happy with how it looks now!

Check out some before and after...

My spices cabinet was way overfilled...

and look at it now...

This cabinet was full of stuff I never used and what stuff I did use was so hard to get to!

Now I have all the things I use the most right here together--I love it!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful weekend!



Beachy Bathroom

I am so excited to show yall my new 1/2 Bathroom!! We added this bathroom out in our garage/mancave so when people come over to swim they could use this bathroom instead of going through our house.  No more wet floors from the backdoor to bathroom!  YEAH!

Yall know I love the BEACH!  My pool has a sand colored liner so it is looks more like the ocean then a pool.  So I had to have a Beach themed bathroom as well! 

Here it is...

I love how it turned out!!

We went from this

 to a wonderful beachy bathroom!

All I have left to do is frame and hang some pictures of the boys at the beach!!

Thanks for stopping by yall have a fabulous day!

My creations (thanks to Pinterest)...

If you know me you know I love Pinterest and have tried MANY new recipes thanks to it!  Well it has gotten me to get creative, too.  I took a few ideas and created this on the wall in my living room!  I LOVE IT!!

I have the collage photo from our 2011 family pictures and my "Family is Forever" vinyl.  Then I have the Important Dates and my favorite beach pictures of the boys.  The clocks under there picture are set to the times they were born. 

I also wanted to share with you my awesome find at TJ Maxx this fabulous lamp!  To make it even better my scentsy warmer matches it perfectly!



Cobblestone Walkway

So excited to show everyone our new Cobblestone Path from the driveway to the pool. 

Getting started...

I am the mixer...

Bay decided to help...

Almost done...

We gave it a week to get good and dry before I tackled the finishing touches...

and into the pool area...

Grass was coming up between the stones so I sprayed the with grass/weed killer and filled them with sand.  I love the look the sand in the cracks gave it.  Another project FINISHED!
