Hi Friends!

February 6, 2019 in Decor

This post may contain affiliate links. If you click on these links and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission- at no extra cost to you.

I want to welcome each every one of you who have joined me here on my new blogging adventure. 

I am so excited to have one place to be able to share my DIY’s with you and my love for design and home decor. All sprinkled in with a little bit of motherhood and a whole lot of real life along the way.  I have so many projects that I have already done and many more coming up- that I can’t wait to share with you.

My goal is to inspire you to decorate your own home. To create a warm, cozy and beautiful space perfect for you and your family – and to do it on a budget. I not only want to share my love for home decor {both seasonal decorating and everyday styling}, but also show you how to shop your home, and create beautiful spaces on a budget.

So a little bit about me… I am the wife of a law enforcement officer who has been protecting and serving for over 27 years. We have two beautiful boys, my oldest will be 8 in February and my youngest is 2.5 years old.

I started a home decor account on Instagram a little over 2 years ago. Initially it was a place for me to keep all the decor accounts I followed and loved in one spot and also to share some of my own DIY’s. I never would have imagined it would have blossomed into what it is now.

When we purchased our fixer upper forever home a little over a year ago… all the creative juices started flowing even more than usual. The entire home needed to be updated… every. single. space. The projects have been getting done… on a budget and lots of DIY’s. They are getting checked off one by one, to create the home of our dreams, that is perfect for my family.

Our Southern style farmhouse features a covered front porch. It has a grey exterior, white trim, black door and black shutters. the house sits on a hill, and features  southern living style with an , american flag, rocking chairs, farmhouse lighting, and boston ferns. as it sits among a shaded, wooded lot.

I am so excited about this blog, and hope you find it a great resource for you as you create beauty –on a budget- in your own home.

Let’s get creative together!

XO – Tiffany

    Hey! I kinda found you on accident while trying to get ideas and inspiration on what to do to update my home. I love all the farmhouse freshness and am very anxious to get started. I have a 23 year old young man and twin 18 year old girls. Time has flown😢 All still home at this point as when we moved to this house everyone needed their own room! Once these birdies have left the nest, we will continue living here so I’m getting antsy on staying busy when they all leave for college and starting on their own. Probably TMI but just feel comfortable with telling you this. Bless your husband for giving so much to protecting others. Looking forward to seeing what your blog has to offer. Good luck on this venture!!

I almost made our Halloween porch way too complica I almost made our Halloween porch way too complicated. 🎃But the Halloween I remember from childhood wasn’t complicated—it was glowing orange jack-o’-lanterns, playful decorations and that little bit of magic that made October feel so exciting.When I saw this sweet ribbon-tail pumpkin-pail idea from @tableshoppeco , I knew it would be perfect for bringing that nostalgic ’90s Halloween feeling to our porch.I drilled two holes for the three ribbons—giving each pumpkin six flowing tails—and added a few extra drainage holes so rainwater wouldn’t collect inside. Then I hung 11 glowing pumpkin pails across our porch.It’s simple, playful and feels like a little piece of the Halloween I remember as a child. 🧡Comment PUMPKIN and I’ll send you the supplies I used!...LinkDM *202*Nostalgic Halloween porch, pumpkin-pail DIY, easy outdoor Halloween decorations, ’90s Halloween decor #HalloweenPorch #DIYHalloweenDecor #NostalgicHalloweenhttps://liketk.it/6odze
