Just wanted to stop in for the week to say that this will be the only post this week. I’m taking the rest of the week off to spend time with my family over Thanksgiving. Also, I’ve started a super fun project that I’m so excited about. I’m not good at sitting still, so another room makeover is on the way. Today I’m sharing the plans for my stairs and hallway.
But first, I need to be honest about something. About a month ago, I broke up with my house. It was a necessary step because I believed that we were moving. So I emotionally detached from my house and started planning all of the boring changes I would need to make to sell my home. Obviously green shiplap and coral stencils aren’t for everyone. I hated the process because I hate boring. It would be so easy to copy everything that I see on pinterest, but I really love making my home unique. I want something that no one else has! That’s why I love vintage so much. Not very many people own a green Kroehler sofa from the 1950’s or a vintage cowboy tapestry.
Anyways, we decided it was a horrible idea to move and changed plans. Luckily, my house took me back and we’re in our honeymoon phase. We’re staying in Maryland and I have to be a big girl and deal with the bitter cold. Yeah, I know if you live north of me, you’re laughing. But this is the farthest north that I have ever lived. I grew up in Houston! The best part about staying (besides my friends here) is that I get to work on fun projects for my house with no regard to resale value! I hope you stick around while I fall madly in love with my home.

Thanks Cassie! They won’t be chalkboard, just black. I love white, but black disguises wear and tear better. This house gets dirty easily so I try to work around that to minimize my work. I’m glad I’m not moving either. It sounded so good for a while to be warm year round, but it’s really better for us to stay here. This area is where the jobs are for my husband. Plus, I keep making new friends here. 😉 I can’t wait to hit some yard sales and thrift shops. It’s my favorite hobby!
