Your New Home Must Have Answers : . 🤍 Can you g

Your New Home Must Have Answers :
.
🤍 Can you guess what the top “new home must have” answer was in my Stories survey yesterday?
.
🤍 A front porch, of course! A front porch is a friendly wave to passers by, an umbrella when you forgot one, a welcoming outdoor room that is somehow both part of your home and part of the world out there. A front porch is perfect spot for morning coffee and afternoon tea, where time slows down and breezes invite us to linger just a little longer to appreciate the blessings of the day. I’m not at all surprised it was at the top of the must have list.
.
🤍 I put together a blog post with a compilation of ALL the “new home must haves” from your answers, and I’ll link it in my stories. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed. This list is going to be very helpful for so many! My website/blog is also linked in my bio.
.
🤍 What will you/would you do on your front porch this weekend?

Are you ready for some front porch sittin’? Me too! We played cards out here last weekend. After working hard to get plants planted and beds mulched, it was good to relax and enjoy the space.

Oh hey, did you know you can get this floor plan for yourself? If you have building in your future, be sure to check out the link in my bio.

I went into this ceiling project saying, “Giddy

I went into this ceiling project saying, “Giddy up, let’s go!” And by the time it was over I was pleading, “Whoa!” But I’m so happy with how this room looks now. It was always in the plan to shiplap this ceiling, but during construction we were running out of time and money, so we put it off.
.
This was just phase 1, but this mama needs to recover/forget before I can think about the next part. I took some video along the way that I will share in stories and make a highlight for this project too.
.
Happy Friday!

I love Spring in Texas. The bluebonnets line the roads and the air is the perfect temperature for patio enjoyment. It’s been a long time since I shared our screened porch, but it is a favorite spot this time of year. This gorgeous custom wood map from @enjoythewood_ is a really eye-catching conversation piece out here. Guests love to see where our house is in relation to other places around our town. Swipe for a closer look at the amazing detail! You can get a map of your own town, a vacation spot, or even the whole world! I’ll share a video in stories and include a link for you.
.
How do you like to spend your porch time?

Remember when I cut some branches from the propert

Remember when I cut some branches from the property? These cherry blossoms are not those. 😜 But they were just sticks when I bought them. I just needed a little faith that they would bloom and they did! It is pretty amazing to watch something that looks completely lifeless becoming beautiful and vibrant. My confidence after seeing these guys blooming sent me ordering all the stuff to start a 4x4 veggie garden! What should I plant first (that is easy/fail proof)?

A little sneak peek at a project I’ve been working on. This is not the most exciting picture, but it’s exciting to me because it means my arms and shoulders and neck can rest for a bit. I shiplapped my daughters ceiling. I think it adds some nice texture and character. I’ll share better pictures soon when I can get the bottom half of the room put back together 😳.

I hope you all had a happy Easter weekend! I missed posting our Easter picture yesterday because we went straight from church to lunch with family and didn’t get home until late. Orrr maybe I didn’t post it yesterday because it’s really not a great picture of us. Swipe for our (awkward) family picture.
.
This is our music room over the garage. I plan to show you other parts of it soon as they start to come together. The bathroom is finished now and the desk area is looking more presentable (desks with computers and work stuff just aren’t very photogenic...kinda like me and my family on Easter💕). What was the highlight of your weekend?

It is April 1st...April Fools Day. I need to come up with a joke for my kids today. I’ve played a few in the past, which I’ll share in stories for you. If you have any ideas that that aren’t mean or messy, I’d love to hear them! Life’s too short not to have fun and laugh! What jokes have you played?

When I designed this house, I put a lot of thought

When I designed this house, I put a lot of thought into how the spaces could be used for connecting with family and friends. This white table looks like just an oversized end table but this is where my family plays cards on Sundays after church. We pull it away from the sofa and just slide over chairs from the dining room. It’s the perfect size for cards. There’s good music, lunch, snacks, margaritas, and of course laughs! I find I need this to keep me from going, going, going and never slowing down. How do you find balance? (For me it’s usually a cupcake in each hand.)

Can we just all take a moment to be grateful for coffee on this Monday morning? You know how I said I was going swimsuit shopping over the weekend? Well, I did and came home with a pulled muscle from the trying on process (and a swimsuit). I have nothing nice to say about swimsuit shopping. It’s the only thing that can make a person simultaneously never want to eat again, and want to stuff all their feelings with food!

I clipped these branches on a casual stroll around the property a couple weeks ago...and by casual stroll, I mean I drove my car over to them and stuck them in my trunk.

Happy Friday! I need to work on my daughter’s room, some work stuff I’m behind on, and my daughter has an all day birthday party across town. Oh and while she’s at the birthday party, I’ll be swimsuit shopping 😩. I hope you have a better weekend planned than I do!! What are your plans?

Yesterday, I did an IGTV video all about cabinets with the #building101 group. If you missed it, be sure to check it out. I got some questions afterward about the tall cabinet that goes to the counter (pictured) and the one above my refrigerator so I’ll give you a tour of those today in stories. I’m here to help you.

Are you a person who stays organized and neat even

Are you a person who stays organized and neat even when you’re overcommitted or doing projects? There are people who show in-progress pictures and everything looks clean and tidy IN THE MIDDLE OF A PROJECT. That’s not me. When I’m in the middle of a project, it looks like a bomb went off. Right now, I’m juggling a few too many projects and the whole house looks like a war zone. This picture is from back before I lost the battle.

ROUND TOP | We are taking a little road trip down to Round Top this weekend! I have lived in Texas my whole life and have never been! Are you going? If so, what are you hunting for? What should I hunt for?

Choose items you love to decorate your home and it

Choose items you love to decorate your home and it will all work out. You will be attracted to just the right items to make the space come together…which is exactly what happened with this rug. Two weeks later, my daughter and I are still completely enamored with her new rug from @Revival . It’s soft and bright and absolutely beautiful! In a time of mass-produced everything, it’s nice to have a few one-of-a-kind pieces like this rug. If you’re looking for something unique for your home I recommend you check out #revivalrugs for vintage, handmade and new rugs! They have so many stunning options. Link/coupon code in bio and I’ll also put a swipe up link with a coupon code in stories for you.

Today’s one of those days when I wish I had a clone of myself because there’s more on my “must get done today list” than one of me could possibly do. These things just trickle in, one small thing at a time until boom! I’m laying in bed trying to sleep and suddenly realize I have a million looming things that are eminently due. Aaannnd my daughter just informed me we have overdue library books. Who decided I was responsible enough to keep track of multiple small items and remembering to return them on a particular day? Major lack of discernment by somebody there. 😉 My 10 year old daughter is clearly more responsible than I am. Do you overcommit yourself?
.
I’m loving these branches I cut from the property. I don’t know what they are or if they will bloom. It will be a surprise.

Each Sunday after church, we have family over for lunch and then we play cards (Spades) all afternoon. Last week, my mom bought this delicious keto Boston Cream cheesecake and I just had to share it with you. I’ll add a link to the recipe in stories & my recipes highlight today.

Do you have a favorite card game?
