Cozy Up Your Patio with Joss & Main
Now that our deck has been completely refinished and we built our covered pergola, it is time to shop for some key pieces to refresh our outdoor space. We do a lot of outdoor entertaining at our house, so I want to make sure our deck is both cozy and inviting. My plan is to add a new rug and gas fire pit to really center the space around the couch area where people will be gathering. The fire pit is a big deal because we host a lot of parties and movie nights throughout the summer, and a fire pit will not only be fun but add warmth for…

Keeping Your Home Safe with CamHome
Safety is a priority for our family; we have three kids to keep safe at all times, after all.

And now I can, with the CamHome Olva S we can keep an eye on our family, home, and pets from anywhere in the world!

Why You Should Create a Mother’s Day Wish List for Your Family
How many Mother’s Days did you dream of a long relaxing bath or a thoughtful, sentimental gift, only to wake up to the reality – a burned breakfast and a last minute thank you note written on the back of one of your kids pieces of homework? I know it has happened to me! This is why you should create a Mother’s Day wish list for your family.

Family-Friendly Pest Control for Your Home & Garden
Who knew that when you moved into your home you would also deal with so many pests moving in with you? I sure didn’t. I had no idea how many little pests would start taking over my home and yard, and that the battle would rage on for years. I have tried so many home remedies and store-bought solutions to manage the three biggest pests in and around my home, with little to no success. I am talking about ants, wasps, and spiders. For the past several years I have been absolutely riddled with the pests that occupy my home, and I hate it. Finally, I found a solution that…

Here is the complete DIY tutorial for building a clear corrugated covered pergola attached to the house and an existing deck! Before & After Photos On the left you can see the deck before we stained and painted it followed by the deck before we added the DIY…

Modern Rustic Farmhouse Bathroom Makeover with Vintage Patina Tile Wallpaper
Bathroom makeovers are one of my favorite transformations because of how an ugly old room can light up with some simple changes. We recently finished a DIY wallpaper installation tutorial in our powder room with D. Marie Interiors wallpaper. The process was so easy and fast! Now that we are finished, it is time for the full reveal with before and after photos of our modern rustic farmhouse bathroom makeover! Previously we had installed these DIY fixtures (the shelf, towel bar and toilet paper holder) but the bathroom still seemed like it needed a facelift.
