The One Area I Can’t Seem to Declutter

The One Area I Can’t Seem to Declutter

Let me start off by saying I have not watched the Marie Kondo show that is taking the world by storm on Netflix yet, however, for the past two months my husband and I have been doing some serious decluttering to our home. We’ve lived in this house for almost six years, and we make honest attempts at trying to do the occasional spring cleaning. Being that we want a change of scenery, we thought it’d be a good idea to get a jump start on whittling down our clutter.  I also felt the mess in our home was keeping…

Quick Tips to Help Refresh Your Bedroom for Spring.

I’ve never been a huge tea drinker, unless you consider the countless sweet teas I’ve had from Chick-Fil-A in the past year, but other that I’ve never been one to get down with tea. Usually in the mall I always huff it past Teavana because while it smells great the thought of me steeping tea is seriously intimidating.

Fall TableScape

Fall TableScape

If you follow me on Instagram then you know, I do a little dibbling and dabbling in the home reno/diy/What was I thinking category. Just this summer the hubs and I ripped out one of the randomly placedd cabinets in our kitchen and built a banquette. I was supposed to share this with you guys a long time ago, but I got super busy and well yea we have banquette!! Now that we can seat more than four people comfortably around the dinner table I decided that it would be nice to finally do something that I have been pinning…
