Fantastic Five: Kitchen Inspiration

Fantastic Five: Kitchen Inspiration - we're talking about some of my favorite kitchens over on the blog today. Come see the ones that make me swoon!

Renovating Lagoon Landing has me trolling Pinterest for ideas for every part of the house, especially the kitchen. So much goes into the design of a kitchen that deciding on the little details gets overwhelming without some inspiration. These are my five favorite kitchens this week.

Room for Tuesday

Room For Tuesday– their new kitchen is a stunner! I love the shine of the backsplash, and…

Low Carb Recipes I've Tried

Low Carb Recipes I've Tried - check out which one made me really happy!

One of the things I’ve found that make me feel awful is SUGAR. It’s crazy how tired and sluggish I feel when I eat a lot of sugary foods, pasta, bread, etc. I have spent the last ten days or so eating low carb foods, and added water to my diet, and I’m glad to say that I’ve lost about 8 pounds. Yay me! I’m sure most of that is water weight, but 8 pounds is 8 pounds, so I’m not looking that gift…

Recommitting to Blogging

Recommitting to Blogging - and what's really been going on behind the blog posts...

And where I’ve been for the past few years…

My friend, Ariel, from PMQ for Twoposted something recently about clarifying what the purpose of our blog is about to the reader every once in a while. It got me to thinking that I have let my little blog fall to the wayside for far too long, and I need to make some changes around here… recommit to it. Start BLOGGING again. I know it’s basically…

Lagoon Landing - Our Newest Adventure

Lagoon Landing - Our Newest Adventure - you have to see the latest "new" house! It's definitely going to be a huge transformation!

We bought a house… again.

I know, I know… didn’t we just buy a house a couple of years ago? Yes, we did. And although we love our current house, especially its location on the intracoastal, we have decided that it is ridiculously large for our rapidly shrinking family. 5300 square feet, six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a library/office – it’s just beyond our current needs.

Our current house –…

Can You Paint over Granite Counters?

Can You Paint over Granite Counters?

Updating Granite Countertops Using Paint –

Have you ever wondered if you could update your dated granite counters without having to replace them? I did, and was able to give them new life when I updated them to look like faux marble counters.

When we bought our last house, it had a ton of granite countertops, but all of them had lots of brown and cream. They didn’t “go” with all the new colors…

Does Apple Cider Vinegar Cure Colds?

  Last week, I was in San Fransisco at the Pinterest In the Making Conference. It was amazing – the city, the conference, the hotel, the people… one of my very favorite cities ever! Then, after a six hour plane ride, I got home and ended up with a doozy of a head cold, or as it happens to affect me, a face cold. I felt like someone punched me. Multiple times. In the face. Since my simple colds…

Our 1950’s Guest Bathroom Makeover Before I show you our 1950’s guest bathroom makeover, I have to ask… Can you call yourself a blogger if you don’t blog? I just realized that I haven’t posted anything here in months… a lot of months. Sorry about that. Since moving in to our house on the water, I have been doing so much around here, but it feels like nothing is getting completely finished. I like…

Week 6 - One Room Challenge - Kitchen Reveal

Week 6 – One Room Challenge – Kitchen Reveal

My first One Room Challenge, hosted by Linda at Calling It Home, has been just that – a massive challenge. It’s time for the Kitchen Reveal – but I’m not quite ready yet! Eek! Maybe I should have started with an easier room?! Or possibly picked at better time than when we are trying to sell one house and get the other one ready to move into? LOL! What was I thinking?! As of 12 am tonight, this is…

Kitchen Remodel - Week 5 - One room challenge

Kitchen Remodel - Week 5. ORC

I know… I missed a few weeks of the One Room Challenge. It’s not because I don’t have anything to report, believe me. To tell you the truth, this has been kicking my butt! Taking on a complete kitchen remodel in six weeks is no joke. Working on it at the new house (which is one hour away from where we are currently) would be so much easier if we actually were there full time. As would posting…

ORC Kitchen Progress - Week 2

Hello!! Welcome back to week 2 of the One Room Challenge!   This week, so much has happened at the new house, and most of it happened in the kitchen. Let’s get right into it, because I’ve got to get back to packing. Okay, when we last saw the kitchen, it looked like this… The first thing we had done in there was to take out the floors and cabinets – which is when we found out just how bad the…

To a house on the water. It’s serioulsy a dream come true. Yes. Moving again. I know. Crazy, right?!

$100 Room Challenge - Laundry Room Makeover Reveal

Today’s the day! Reveal day for the $100 Room Challenge! I have to say that when Erin at Lemons, Lavender and Laundry invited us to participate, I thought it would be a pretty easy update. And it has been, until today. (This post contains affiliate links. See the sidebar for more information) Reveal day kind of snuck up on me! I have been crazy with getting estimates for work to be done on the…
