Lolli Living by Living Textiles We have been slowly been making over Emma’s room. When we started her room was a huge mess. We were able to start the process with a loft bed, which gave her more space for her things. She was happy, but her room wasn’t quite where we wanted it. Emma started kindergarten this year and quickly became a “big kid” giving up many of her “little girl” toys. The princess castle and toy bins were … [Read more...]
Home Makeover | Our New La-Z-Boy Living Room
by 33 Comments
Home Makeover | Our New La-Z-Boy Living Room Last summer my family visited our local La-Z-Boy Showroom to pick out a sectional. Our living room is quite large, but we just didn’t have enough seating for our family of six to sit comfortably. We actually did receive our sectional a few months later. That particular sectional had a problem with the chaise not connecting to the other pieces properly leaving the back of the piece crooked. … [Read more...]
Bedroom Makeover | Making My Room a Haven Thanks To Sleep Number
by 34 Comments
We have been on a journey.... a slow journey with the ultimate goal of turning our old bedroom into a haven. In the condition below I never felt peaceful in our room. I’m not sure if it was the patterns, the clutter, the mattress or all of the above (probably all of the above), but we needed to do something. Sleep was lacking, our moods were deteriorating and my husband was waking with back aches that hindered him on the job. During this … [Read more...]
Kids Bedroom Makeover | Wayfair & Bolton’s Alaterre Mansfield Junior Loft Bed Review
by 35 Comments
We’ve been slowly making over every area of our home to help reduce clutter, organize and just update the looks of the room. Ethan’s room was one of the last rooms to receive attention, but it was finally his turn. Ethan moved into this room when he was 2. Before he occupied it, it belonged to his big brother Josh. Josh was into sports for the longest time so the décor was balls... lots of balls. Although Ethan has always liked balls, he … [Read more...]
Bedroom Makeover | Beyond Bedding Frankie’s Fire Truck 4pc Twin Bedding Set Review
by 13 Comments
Beyond Bedding Frankie’s Fire Truck 4pc Twin Bedding Set Review Ethan turned 4 this July and has already lived in two rooms during his short life. His nursery was downstairs and it was only partially decorated as we didn’t really use the room much. When we had the “great room swap” (everyone got a new room except Emma), Ethan took Josh’s old room upstairs. Up until recently he was more than happy with the sports theme Josh left behind, but … [Read more...]
LG Electronics TrueSteam Dishwasher Review

LG Electronics TrueSteam Dishwasher Review Up until very recently I was under the assumption that a dishwasher was a dishwasher. I knew that some looked a bit fancier than the others and some had a few more “bells and whistles”, but they all washed the dishes... the. end. Then... LG Electronics asked me to try their integrated TrueSteam dishwasher. Not only does it have a TrueSteam generator, but it has a feature I have never seen anywhere... … [Read more...]
Magic Cabin Personalized Book Rack Review

Magic Cabin Personalized Book Rack We have slowly been redecorating both Emma and Ethan’s rooms trying to make them more comfortable... kind of like their own little nest. We removed the toy clutter from under Emma’s loft bed and decided to turn it into a reading area for her. We found the perfect bean bag chair but were still trying to find the best solution for storing/displaying Emma’s books. After a little web browsing we found Magic … [Read more...]
Home Makeover | Amana Tall Tub Dishwasher Review
by 25 Comments
We have slowly been working on replacing our older white kitchen appliances with newer stainless. We love how crisp stainless looks and that it gives an updated feel. Our current dishwasher was in the home when we bought it 10 years ago. Although it was still functioned it was dated, not energy efficient and well... blah. During my search for a new stainless unit I stumbled on the Amana brand. After searching their site we decided on the Tall … [Read more...]

We are currently trying to update our home one little step at a time. Through de-cluttering, upgrading and replacing items things are slowly coming together. One little thing we decided to do to “update” our home is replace our plastic trash cans and recyclers with stainless steel options. That gives a sleek and sophisticated look to an otherwise overlooked area. After some searching, I found simplehuman. They have a full line of stainless … [Read more...]
