As we are still savoring these last few days of the holidays with our family, I thought it would be fun to round up some of my favorite blog posts and home projects from 2019!

2020 will be an extra creative and productive year around our home! I’m SO excited! We’ve been slowly transforming this house from a basic 1950s rambler to a modern coastal style home for just over four years now. In many ways I feel like we are just getting started on the fun stuff (even though we have come a long ways and are happy with the progress we’ve made!).

We have so many changes, plans and projects for this year! If you haven’t yet subscribed to the blog, you’ll want to head to the right side bar (where it says “send to your inbox”) and put in your email address so you won’t miss any new posts!

In the meantime, enjoy this look back at some highlights from 2019 and catch up on some of the inspiration and posts.

Thank you so much for being here. Your encouragement and comments continue to make it so fun to share my home, ideas and life with you. I read each comment and email! I am always so happy to hear that the encouragement and ideas shared inspire you to be happier with your home, too!
