Painted Oak Dresser Makeover

I want to thank Zibra Paint for partnering with me on this Painted Oak Dresser Makeover. All opinions of their amazing brushes are my own. This Painted Oak Dresser Makeover has a fun story.  I remember watching my mom make over pieces of furniture. My dad was in fire restoration for a bit and he would find pieces of furniture that were still salvageable and bring them home to my mom, who was always up for a project (I wonder where I get it 🙂 ). The hutch in our living room is one of her projects and this oak… Read More

My Favorite Things That I Recommend All The Time

One thing I have learned about blogging and the social media is that the content you create is based a lot on what people are asking for. I keep a running list of questions I get and produce content here and on my social media platforms to answer those questions. I am always asked about my favorite things. The questions are usually more specific; “What is your favorite paint for furniture?” “What is your favorite snack?” “What is your favorite bedding?” “What is your favorite tool?”  I get those questions a lot, so I thought I would put a post… Read More

Flip house #5 is complete! We finished it in the time frame we started with and I have no idea how. We had no idea what was going to happen when we bought this house. We have learned so much through this flip and are so thankful for that. This is our fifth time doing this and we are still learning so much. If you aren’t learning, you aren’t growing, right?! Not only did we learn about new projects and things like that, but we found out how to navigate a flip during a global pandemic. PHEW! What an experience!… Read More

This Easy Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie recipe comes from our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. We wanted to see if it would work inside a cast iron skillet as a giant cookie.  SPOILER ALERT! IT DOES! Matt is a huge chocolate chip cookie fan. Okay, let’s be honest, he is a chocolate chip cookie dough fan, but the baked cookies are his next favorite dessert. Gabrielle is always up for baking and she was thinking about baking some cookies the other day and I told her we should try making our favorite chocolate chip cookies into a large skillet cookie….

Flip house #5 is almost done! I have to say that having a flip house during the pandemic was both amazing and hard at the same time. It was amazing because it kept us busy. It was hard because things weren’t in stock and we had to order a lot online. This meant that things took longer to get. We also had to work with contractors in a different way because of the social distancing that was happening. It all worked out, but it was definitely a different process this time around. Today, I am going to share how to… Read More

A master bedroom makeover is not complete without a new mattress. We chose the Nest Bedding mattress and this is our Nest Bedding Mattress Review.

Nest Bedding Mattress Review

It has been a couple of months since we started our master bedroom makeover. We still have some things to complete, but we are enjoying it so far. We have also been sleeping in our new mattress from Nest Bedding for over a month. I feel like we have had a good amount of time to form an opinion and finally write the Nest Bedding mattress review to share our experience with the mattress so far.  Matt and I researched all the mattresses Nest Bedding has to offer and talked about each one in length. Then, I reached out to… Read More
