After sharing my master bathroom makeover last year I've gotten several questions about our bathroom countertop refinishing. Our original bathroom vanities were made from cultured marble. I think it was a popular choice in homes in the 90s (at least where we live). It's a solid surface that is made from the dust of actual marble stone. It's great in bathrooms because it's really durable. It's not porous so it doesn't stain easily. While this countertop is certainly durable, it's quite outdated ...

Decorating on a Budget
Decorating on a budget sometimes seems like this mysterious unicorn that other people tell you about but you've never seen for yourself. Am I right? In the past I've spent way too much on decorating only to be completely sick of items I bought only months later, money wasted.

I remember the beginning of the sale starting and being totally shocked that they have a huge sale for the incoming season. If you're a Nordstrom ...

IKEA Chairs – The Coastal Slipcovered Farlov
A couple months ago, I hopped on IKEA for the 453rd time to take a peek at their selection of chairs and love seats. Guys - I can't quit IKEA furniture. I've looked high and low in an effort to avoid IKEA chairs (not because I don't like it but because the nearest one is 90 miles and I don't like paying $99 for shipping). I've been on the hunt for the perfect pair of chairs for our living room. I've searched everywhere but I always came back to these IKEA chairs - the Farlov slipcovered ...
