A Vintage Basement
A Vintage Basement We recently gave our vintage basement (circa, 1928 to be exact) a glow up. Did I use that term correctly? I don’t even know. But I did recently get to do a fit check with our teen so feeling very in lately. Anyway, I am sure I have shared that we were constantly hemming and hawing over redoing the basement. I loved the color, but it felt like we needed to move the basement from our kids’ younger years to be more in line with the current needs of our family.

The Quarterly 07
Hi and Happy New Year! We were just talking about whether it’s still acceptable to use that greeting so far into January. I think it’s fine. So, let’s catch up!

Of course, sprinkling in some new is always a must too. That is exactly how it all played out this year for our Timeless Christmas with Coastal Accents.

Bonus Room: Board & Batten
Let’s take a break from the Gift Guides and Holiday Everything to take a look at a friend’s Bonus Room transformation. It was a fairly quick turn around and it turned out sooooo good! The absolute best part of it all was that I got to hang out with one of my dearest friends!

Gifts for Teen Boys
In three short months, we will have two teenagers. It’s hard to believe, but time really does fly. Our teen boy loves all things mountain biking, soccer, skiing, fishing, and tinkering. With some motherly encouragement, he is also playing basketball 🙂 Our teen is really good at figuring out puzzle-ish things too! (Oh, and he has opinions about clothing currently.) So below, a little bit of everything is included in the Gifts for Teen Boys guide. (I also only semi-consulted him on these things 😉
