I am finally getting settled in my new house and renovations are well under way. I hired a contractor to do most of the work because old houses are hard and have way more issues than I was willing to take on by myself. However, my dad and I did tackle the downstairs bathroom on our own. He did majority of the hard work, but I learned a lot about laying tile and plumbing in the process.

Happy March! I can’t believe 2020 is going by so quickly. It has been a whirlwind of a year and it just keeps getting more exciting. I started doing renovations at my new house this weekend, but wanted to share photos from the day I closed so y’all can see what I’m working with. I would not consider this house a true “fixer upper” because it is totally livable the way it is, but it just isn’t my style.

You read that right, I am a homeowner! It was a whirlwind process, but I am so excited and in love with my new house!! I cannot wait to share my journey of making this adorable house my own!
I bought a 1930 Craftsman style house in a historic neighborhood near downtown Raleigh. This house is full of original character and also some weird quirks (like an insanely creepy basement).

I recently took a trip to Charleston, and got to see my mom’s newly renovated bathroom in her Charleston home! Her bathroom before was perfectly fine, but not really her style. She always knew she would eventually re-do the master bathroom, but didn’t want to do it in the initial remodel. I wanted to share the pictures with y’all because it is gorgeous!!

Hi Everyone!! Merry Christmas! I hope everyone has had a great holiday. I haven’t been in a blogging mind set the past few months, but I have big plans for the new year. It has been a little crazy around here with lots of travel and my dad temporarily moving in with me, so my house hasn’t been in blogging shape. However, I expect to have lots of new content in 2020 including decorating my dad’s new house!!
I still wanted to share some of my holiday decor with y’all from this year and was finally able to snap a few photos yesterday. My basement is where my traditional “Santa” tree ended up this year, but it is not photo ready right now haha. Pretty much everything I used this year was from Hobby Lobby, and I absolutely love the black, white and gold decor, and will likely use it again next year!
