Master Bedroom Makeover


Master Bedroom is now complete! Our master isn't very large according to modern standards but it fits our King-sized bed comfortably and has his-and-hers closets. When we purchased our home, the master was blah. White walls, old chain plug-in light, frilly curtains.


At least these pics were taken with a nice wide angle lens. You're able to see the majority of the room here.

And looking from the opposite side.


Here's our room now from the same angle! It's looking a lot more up-to-date!


And from the door looking in...


We painted the walls with Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray  The trim is painted with Behr Silver Dust.

We installed the same 3 light fixture that's in the Guest Room. We bought it from Home Depot. It provides a lot of light and so do the windows!

Speaking of windows, Ben designed and installed our window boxes and trim. It's gorgeous painted white! I love craftsman style details and it's been fun adding them to our home.


Everything else in this room is staging! The red pillows are actually from our couch but I love the contrast with the blue bedding. They are from IKEA, but not available for purchase. We've had the red vases on our dresser for-ev-er! They're from IKEA and from what I can tell they don't carry them anymore either.

The greenery I bought on Amazon and put it in a glass jar I already had with dollar tree decorative rocks. The greenery is only $10 for 4 sticks. Which is really good even compared to Hobby Lobby at 50% off prices! The sticks are really full. I have two in this jar and two in another jar in the dining room. 

The red throw...is actually my red maxi dress! I got it at Costco! ðŸ˜œ

Isn't staging amazing?! If you're trying to make your pictures look great; think outside the box, borrow from other areas in your house, and don't spend more than you have to!

I wish I had a wide angle lens and not just my phone camera for pictures so I could show you the whole room at once rather than in snippets. When it's time for us to sell, we will most likely borrow a wide angle lens to have better pictures. I did take a panoramic though so you can see the room in its entirety!


Final question for you guys! We have removed the closet sliding doors from our closets because our children literally knocked them off and almost got crushed within the first hour of moving in. We still have the doors though. If you were looking through a home, as a buyer, would you rather have the doors on or off? Personally, I think doors off makes the room feel larger. But when you're selling it's not about what we like, it's about being appealing to the masses!

Birthday Budgets

This past month we've been celebrating Tafton's 9th Birthday. He loves to read and I love to see him reading. He'll use phrases that sound so odd coming out of a 9 years old mouth, But I really enjoy hearing them. He is so smart! Because he's the oldest he can be somewhat of a police officer trying to keep the younger kids in line - it's important to him that everyone follow the rules and he can get so disappointed in himself when he thinks he's fallen short. I'm humbled that I've been chosen to be his mother, to guide, teach, and prepare him for this life. One area I want to prepare my kids in is finances. I wish for them to make smarter choices with their money than we have! One thing I want them to understand is that money is finite. If you spend a dollar, you no longer have that dollar.  In line with this, we decided to let our kids manage a birthday budget once they turn 8. We give them a dollar amount and with that they can decide to have ...

Homemade Laundry Detergent

I've been making our own laundry detergent for over a year now. It works wonderfully, I know exactly what's in it, smells great, and lasts forever! Here's what you need to make your own: 55 oz. Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda  (you can find this in the laundry detergent aisle usually on the highest or lowest shelf) 76 oz. 20 Mule Team Borax  (you can find this in the laundry detergent aisle usually on the highest or lowest shelf) 4 lb. Baking Soda 26 oz. Downy Unstoppables or other scent booster 3-4 bars Fels-Naptha or Ivory Soap  (I used to use Fels-Naptha but at $1.69 per bar it's more economical to use Ivory soap and it works just as well) Combine washing soda, baking soda, borax, and scent booster. I use an extra 5 gallon bucket to mix. Grate soap and add to powder mixture. Using a food processor makes this much faster!  When finished you should have 2 gallons worth of laundry detergent. Each load only needs 1 t...

Gazelle Intense

I've been a fan of Dave Ramsey for several years. But even though we've been fans; listening to his podcast, reading his books; we haven't gone full gazelle intense yet. Well guess what?! 2017 is the year!!! We're going gazelle intense!!!! I'm crazy excited!!! So what is gazelle intense? Basically, it's getting really focused and really angry at your debt. Angry enough that you want to kick it to the curb and get it out of your life for good.  I feel like I've been working on paying off all our debt forever!!!! and I'm sick and tired of it! What's worse is the reason  why  we haven't paid it off is because we HAVEN'T been following his plan by the  book  (literally☺). We've used our credit card instead of an emergency fund, we've signed up for more student loans when we should've cash flowed, and we didn't do the snowball, instead we paid extra in drips and drabs.  No more! and I'm super excited. I'l...
