I have been so lucky lately to get to work with my clients in a bunch of different spaces—all so different from each other! One of them is a downtown Des Moines apartment in a cool new location. The Flux Apartments are located just on the outskirts of downtown and are within walking distance to a co

How is it May already?? That's completely banana boats! Also, I was told that April showers bring May flowers, but what do May showers bring? All they seem to bring to me is a crabby attitude. Ha! Hoping it warms up soon so we can actually do some work in the yard. It's been a little here and there,

I thought I’d start something a little new around here! I miss the days of yesteryear when blogging was hip and cool and primarily consisted of reading about people’s lives and looking at the pictures they would share along side of it. There’s certainly a need for the DIY and the how-to posts, but I

I am so happy that color is coming back into the world of decor and design! It seems to be popping up in everything from simple stems of florals to full-blown wallpaper accent walls! Whatever your taste when it comes to color, Urban Outfitters has a little bit for everyone. I'm sharing my favorites

(THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS) Friends!! It has been a hot-minute since I’ve started AND completed a makeover project for a client! My business has been shifting, so my projects look a little differently than they used to, plus, life just gets busy and things have been seeming to take a lot l

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but my business started with selling vintage. I had been sharing my thrifting finds on Instagram, way back in the day, and people started asking if I was going to sell certain things. I hadn’t been planning on it, but also, the thought of making some extra cash se

Easter seems to sneak up on me every year, so I've made it a point to find it on the calendar and start planning early! We already have our menu somewhat planned and that's a miracle! As long as there are deviled eggs present...that's all I care about! I'm sharing some of my favorite Easter and Spri

Okay friends, I need to preface this with the fact that growing up, and through most of high school and college, I literally did nothing to myself in the beauty department. I went on a school trip to France one summer and I can’t even stand to look at the pictures of myself because I wore my natural

What’s for dinner? That is probably the most classic question asked in every household across all the land. No matter who you are or where you live, you’re hungry or you’re in charge of feeding hungry people…and you need some ideas. It’s so funny to me how with the changes of the seasons, we all w

I think we can all agree that our hair can make a big impact on our attitude and especially on how our day will go. If it’s good…it’s great. If it’s bad…it seems like the end of the world. Poor Jason has been on the receiving end of my bad hair days—lots of crying and with a side of anger. Most of m

I am a creature of habit and that’s ok with me. As much as I love to see and do new things, there’s something very comforting about the familiar. That’s exactly what Knotty Pine Guest House has become for Jason and me. We had a chance to stay there this last week and it was just what this heart of m
