Our backyard makeover remains one of my favorite projects. It was during the first lockdown of Covid in 2020, and we really started it on a whim – I had an idea hit me and just went for it. Sometimes the projects or decisions made mid-project become the best of them, when you’re hit with fresh inspiration and you go for something that feels a bit risky because it isn’t 100% planned. Going for that bold paint color, choosing a new direction with the stone for your countertop, including a side project as part of your larger renovation — I say don’t be quick to dismiss those opportunities and consider taking the jump!
For before + after photos of our backyard plus everything we did (on a budget) to update it, head to the post:

lately
I shared a tutorial here on the blog and Instagram on how to get high-end looking drapes with Ikea curtain panels. I use Ikea curtains all over our house and love them! Head to the post to read all about it + my favorite Ikea curtain panels.
I’ve been in the mood to clean our house from top to bottom & make a few spring-inspired updates around the house lately. Here are a few items I ordered from Target this week that I’m excited to use & freshen things up a bit!
Living in a smallish house means that every corner needs to be hard-working, and this corner of our bedroom has definitely been put to work over the years. I currently use it for my desk, or “home office” space, and this week I spruced it up with artwork I already had + the addition of this great chair from Zara Home. I love when a little goes a long way!
wardrobe additions
Thanks to Madewell’s Insider Sale + Instagram’s targeted ads, I’ve had spring fashion on my mind all week. Here are a few pieces I am excited to add to my wardrobe – subtle 90’s vibes all the way!
this weekend
Ty and I are getting away this weekend to celebrate our 10 year anniversary by heading down to Columbus. I don’t get there often and have a running list of stores and restaurants I’m excited to visit. One of them being Bliss Home Market – they have a once-a-month warehouse sale and it happens to be this weekend. Really hoping I can snag a few of these vintage pots and scout out some great furniture!
Have a great weekend!
