Golden boys and me house

Hello! Oh my gosh, I have neglected this blog and I feel terrible about it. I don't even have a good excuse, other than, you know - LIFE. And Instagram, which I love, but will never completely replace blogging for me. This little blog is what started my home decor journey and I am not going to let it go. So, let's catch up a bit, shall we? Let's start where all things begin - in the home. My latest love of adding color hasn't let up at all and I am forever adding more layers of texture…

Hi! My name is Courtney and I am so glad you stopped by my blog today. I love sharing ideas to help make your home a beautiful place without breaking the bank. My husband, Billy, and I are avid DIYers who have renovated three homes in the NJ suburbs of NYC. We are definitely not professionals, but we love the challenge (and satisfaction) of figuring out how to do things ourselves. We have learned so much from reading other blogs. Our hope is that with this blog, we can help you make your…

Happy Fourth of July weekend, friends! We are home in NJ and have plans to hang out by our pool and BBQ, just a quiet day and I'm looking forward to it. I do have some patriotic decor pictures to share with you today. Let's start in our kitchen. I've been collecting so many of these pieces through the years and it is fun to pull them out and put them together for holidays. I haven't been shopping for home decor so this is all stuff I already had. I found the banner at Sur La Table last year…

Hello friends! It's hard to believe it is time once again to post my holiday home tour! I have been hard at work getting our home ready for the holiday season and I'm happy to report that I think we're ready. Keep in mind, our house is full of kids and a spoiled dog and I hope that my photos reflect that, while I may clean things up *a bit* for pictures, a real family lives here so nothing is perfect. Let's start in our mudroom which is the space we all enter our home through and where our…

Hello friends! I thought I'd share a few pictures of Spring decor around our home that I've captured over the last few weeks. We've been doing some cleaning both inside and outside our home as we prepare for the warmer months. The last couple of years I have enjoyed planting spring bulbs in planters to enjoy inside our home to get a jumpstart on the season. They really do bring that spring feel and scent into the house. I planted some pansies in the window box outside the kitchen windows and…

How cute is this entryway? Reminds me of entering a quaint little house on the beach with the teal blue accents and farmhouse rustic appeal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo credits: @goldenboysandme⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #foxcarr #design #entrywaydecor #interior #interiordesign #farmhouse #home #homedecor #housewares #homedesign #farmhousedecor #entrance #entryway #rustic #flowers #interiorstyling #decoration #countryhome #farmhousestyle

Farmhouse kitchen with fall decor - homemade sink skirt, napkin curtains, farmhouse sink

Hello friends! This has been a tough summer weather wise in the Adirondacks but between the torrential downpours that did terrible damage to nearby towns and the haze in the air from the Canadian wildfires, there have still been some beautiful moments. And we've gotten a few projects done too. Working on this little cabin is such a labor of love for us. Want to take a peak at what we've done? In the kitchen, we added a pot rack over the island. This island is the hub of the house here and…
