2 Little Birds and A Pearl

We are officially moved into the house guys!!! Life has felt like a whirlwind the last couple of weeks!! We are trying to get back into normal routine and settle down a bit! ( is this really possible with 3 kiddos, 2 jobs, and living in a fixer upper??)   I have so many things I want to catch you guys up on, but today is all about the paint colors we chose for the interior!! So unless you have been living under a rock, then you all know Chip and Joanna Gaines. Aside from their great show on HGTV, they also have a full line of products including home decor, clothing, accessories...Well recently they partnered with Kilz and launched a paint line!! I've been anxious to try the colors and now was my perfect chance!! One awesome thing they offer are these peel and stick samples! Since its so hard to pick a color from a computer screen, you can order these samples that are about  9x11" in size and they stick to your wall.  You can really get a better effect of how...

Hey Guys! I wanted to stop in and bring you all an update on whats happening around the fixer house! We have been EXTREMELY busy these last couple of weeks!!! It seems like on top of all the projects going on at the house, our real life schedules have become packed as well! I am so ready to just get moved and get back into a normal routine, to feel settled again! Running back and forth daily between our current rental home to our fixer-upper, juggling work schedules, homeschooling, housework, and just keeping up with all 3 kiddos....its been draining! But we are nearing the finish line!!! We officially move into the fixer in 10 days!!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! There is still much to be done at the house, but at this point I think we can accomplish it better while we are living there. I am so thankful that all the painting is complete!!! That was a huge job! We had a local painter come in and get all of it done, which was such a blessing! I have done nearly all th...

Hey Guys!!   So last week was another busy week around the house! More progress was made and I'll be sharing that with you all very soon! But today I wanted to do something a bit different. This past weekend we took a trip to TN to visit some of my most favorite people in the whole world! My great Aunt and Uncle, who were really always more like grandparents to me! We got to spend some wonderful time with them and catch up on life! So thankful for that much needed time together! While there, I asked her if it would be ok to photograph her home. Ya'll, this is where I first fell in love with home decor! Growing up, I can remember coming into Aunt Jean's house to visit, and going around scoping out all her newest treasures that she had added to her decor! It was always different! She had some many beautiful things everywhere! So going back there this weekend was just the same, I loved walking through and checking out all the "pretties". And when you ask her where...

Here we go guys, I'm back for part 2 of our "before" house tour! There were just too many pics to cram all into one post, so today we are covering the basement and the upstairs. If you missed part 1 of our tour, you can click  here . I won't bore you with a bunch of rambling, let's just get on with the tour! So right off the kitchen are the stairs leading down to the basement I didn't snap a picture with the stairs in it, but they are on that left wall there, right across from the playroom door. Here is what is going to be our school room/playroom. I'm super excited about finally having a designated room for our homeschooling! I am envisioning a fun color, and some built in desks for the kiddos. And then some great storage for the bazzilion toys my children own! There will also be new flooring in this room! That open door there leads to this full bathroom. This space is starting off with fresh paint, and then eventually a new va...
