Project- Kitchen Wood Feature Wall
Hello! Today’s project is the wood wall in my kitchen. I wanted to show you how I completed the wall above the tile. What better way than to just start in on the pictures! This is what the wall has looked like for the last year and then some. I really wanted to put wood…

Dreams: Nobody Said it Would Be Easy
This week has really been a struggle for me. I feel like all the work and all the moving and all the being responsible is really getting to me. I need something and I don’t even know what it is. Monday, Emma started public school again after being homeschooled by me for the last three…

Four Week Catch Up at the Ranch!
So, I guess moving your whole life to a different state can be a lot of work! I say that as if I didn’t know it would be. Over the last four weeks, I’ve been so busy, I haven’t had the energy to blog. I still don’t have the energy, but need to bite the…

I’m Building a Ship
Today I was reminded of a blog post I shared from David DuChemin. He is one of my favorite photographer/writers. His blog and Facebook pages are full of inspiration and motivation. I have a couple of his books, I’m a fan. Anyway, I reposted a blog entry he wrote about building your own ship. Your…

Inspiration Saturday 03/12/16
Today’s space of inspiration is the Master Bedroom. As I was putting together the post for today, two things happened. One, I could not believe how much it’s changed since we started taking it apart, and two, I realized I don’t really know what I want to do in this space. Here is what the…

Inspiration Saturday 12/19/15 Shared on a Tuesday!
That’s right! A Saturday post shared on a Tuesday, because I can. Plus, the weekend was nuts, dinners on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, then a brunch on Sunday! I’ve been so busy and so blessed to have people to celebrate with. This has been a fabulous holiday season with friends and family and we haven’t…

Let it Snow!
Last Month, Emma and I stayed at the ranch house in Gardnerville. Steve was able to drive up a couple of times, and Alix came up for Thanksgiving. We had a really productive visit, which I’m super excited to share with you in some upcoming posts. However, the best part of our visit was the snow! It…

Carpet’s Dirty Little Secret
When we bought our ranch, we originally wanted to have all wood floors in the house. We intended on using area rugs to warm up the rooms. Then we moved into our rental which has all woods floors and zero carpet. We haven’t bought any rugs for the place because I’d rather not spend the…

I’m Going to be a Farmer!
The ranch we own is 10 acres. Five of those acres are alfalfa hay. Due to the fact no one has been living at the property full time for many years, our next door neighbor has been maintaining the pasture. He is a career farmer and as a favor he’s been mowing down the field…

The Ranch, Our First Date.
September 1st, I turned 50 years old! September 2nd, we headed up Hwy 395 to stay at our new ranch for the very first time! What an adventure! Best birthday present ever! The first night was really just us walking around the property asking each other if this was all real. The next morning was…

Inspiration Saturday 07/15/15
It’s Saturday and I’m starting to feel like I’m at home in the new place. After the mad rush over the last two months of selling our house and moving out, it’s finally time to relax a bit. I feel like I may be taking the relax part way too seriously though. I’m feeling pretty…

The Ball is Rolling!
So here we are! We have completed our move and are about a day away from being settled in our new place. Talk about being displaced. We went up to the Carson Valley last week and stayed in a hotel. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I had absolutely no idea…
