Three years ago this month we broke ground and started the process of building our house. As I’ve mentioned before, Landon general contracted for us with no prior experience. We learned a lot on our own! I’ve never really gone into the design and construction of our house before but we have so much knowledge I’d like to start sharing. First up, design features in the kitchen. Below are the four features I am so happy we put into our kitchen design. The best part? That these features can be added to an existing kitchen right now with minimal expense and effort – no need to wait for your next house!

Glam Bathroom Decor
Remember when I shared the wall decor I made for our master bath last year? Well, ever since then I have been thinking of what to do with our other bathroom. So many ideas have entered my mind since then but nothing felt right. Until I was in the dollar section at Target. We had had the sequin shower curtain since we moved in and finding this little diamond tray at Target put me on the glam decor track. Continue reading “Glam Bathroom Decor”
