How to Build a Pegboard Rail
If you need to know how to build a pegboard rail, you have come to the right spot! This is one of the best additions to my home and it is SO EASY to recreate!

WALL SCONCES FOR A COZY BEDROOM
As many of you may know, I recently did a mini-bedroom makeover. I put up some floral wallpaper and some bead board wallpaper, which totally changed the vibe of my room from drab to cozy english garden. But in my vision of cozy english garden, there were no lamps, only wall sconces-- is that normal? Who cares, haha! So, to that effect, I had to find the PERFECT wall sconce to go in my bedroom, but I also am not an electrician (obviously), and therefore do not know a thing ... continue reading...

My Favorite Rugs for a Cozy Vintage Vibe
Something about me is I love a good rug! I thing rugs are the "glue" to any room, they kind of cinch it all together and make it feel complete. They are soft to walk on, cozy to sit on, and just all around an important part of any room. They give it warmth, dimension, and just that little extra something! I have placed rugs in almost every room in my home and I even like to change them out sometimes! I mean, changing a rug can change the whole space in an instant ... continue reading...
How To Get Your Dog To Stop Chewing
I love my dogs just as much as the next person, maybe even more, but when they chew on our things, it can be really hard to forgive and forget. My dog Toulouse, while she is the cutest, sweetest dog ever, she is also the WORST chewer I have ever had. I mean this dog chews EVERYTHING; rugs, carpet, bedding, cushions, tables, and most recently, my 4-day old couch. Since the list of "things Toulouse destroys" keeps getting longer, I decided to turn to Facebook friends and good old Google for ... continue reading...
My Favorite Slip-Covered Couches
If you have a busy home full of pets, kids, and messes, or just like to change things up, a cozy slip-covered couch is the way to go. As many of you might now, my dog Toulouse destroys EVERYTHING in sight, including some of my furniture! Most recently, my couch! But look at that sweet face... She ruined my last couch when she was having an upset tummy spat; you don't have to ask, it was disgusting. After the "incident" as we will call it, I knew that couch needed to go, but I also knew ... continue reading...
