Drab to Fab- The Great Living Room Makeover
On November 19, 2021 by MaryI’m so excited to say the living room is finally finished! I can’t believe it used to look like this. Dark. Dreary. Sad. SO VERY BROWN. I really wish I’d taken pictures when it still had the wall to wall carpeting and parquet flooring accents! My aim with this room was to make it feel

How To Update Your Old Couch In 20 Minutes
On October 30, 2021 by MaryWhen we sold our house in New York, we got rid of all our furniture aside from a couple dressers. We decided it would be better to start fresh in the new house instead of trying to make all the old stuff work. Being the thrifting queen that I am, I was absolutely up for

How to Make Paneled Walls Look Even Worse
On September 30, 2021 by MaryOur plan was to hold off on any kind of home renovations (aside from painting) until we’d been living here for a while. That was a cute idea. Immediately after moving in we realized just how icky the wall-to-wall carpeting was. Apparently the previous owners did have it cleaned, but there were persistent stains everywhere,

We Have a Flock Now
On September 26, 2021 by MarySo much has happened since my last post! One super exciting thing is that we finally have internet service at our house. I have used up a ridiculous amount of data over the last 5 months trying to get blog posts written via mobile hotspot. Now my only problem is making the time to sit

Welcome To the Family, Odin
On September 13, 2021 by MaryI mentioned a while ago that I would write a special post about our dog, Odin. Now that we’ve had him for two weeks, I feel like I’m finally getting to know him well enough to be able to write about him. First off, he is a rescue. We adopted him from a shelter, and

Home Is the Very Best Place to Be.
On September 5, 2021 by MarySeventeen weeks to the day since we arrived in Tennessee, our ridiculously long wait ended. We are finally in our new house!!! We’ve actually been here a whole week already, but things have been so hectic I haven’t had time to sit down with my thoughts yet. I’ve been wanting to get a new post

Out of the Campground
On August 17, 2021 by MaryWe’re not living in the camper anymore! We’re also not living in our house yet, either. With the way things have gone so far, did anyone actually believe we would be moving into our house this past weekend? The quick rundown is this: the sellers still can’t move out, but we decided it would be

The Finish Line is In Sight
On August 7, 2021 by MaryI’m trying to not get my hopes up too much yet, but it’s looking like we may be able to move into our house next weekend. I think the worst that could happen at this point is that we have to wait a few additional days. At least we’re talking days now, not weeks. It’s

Arbitrary Decisions and More Waiting
On July 28, 2021 by MaryWe don’t really have any updates on the house situation yet, but since my last post we’ve adopted a dog, I signed up for an exercise class, and my husband found a new job. I guess that’s what happens when you’re going stir crazy- you start to do stuff out of the blue. Our new

Waiting Is My Full Time Job Now
On July 12, 2021 by MaryWell, we are back in Tennessee after leaving New York with a bang. Our Independence Day weekend consisted of loading up the moving truck, playing corn hole, eating junk food, drinking adult beverages, burning Christmas trees in a bonfire, and setting off a ton of fireworks. It was really quite epic. Unfortunately, I didn’t get
