Updating the Kitchen {and Beyond}

June 28, 2016 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

I am so excited to partner with Empire Today Stores to do some updates to our home. While this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I love spending time in my kitchen. After all, I must because I named my blog after it. Lol. While I love spending time in my home, and especially my kitchen, there are definitely a few things I would change. A major update that is needed here is flooring! The guy who built our house was a single guy who {no offense to single guys} just didn’t have much design talent. So, we are working on updating the kitchen and beyond over the course of the next year.

A Dream Kitchen Appliance Line Up

January 20, 2016 By Shannah Coe 12 Comments

I am excited to work with Sears Home Appliances and Services to share with you some great appliance features. While this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Between making meals for my family, cooking up recipe ideas for the blog and then cleaning the whole mess up, I rely on appliances that are reliable and efficient. Of course, I want them to look good while doing it. As I keep dreaming of a major kitchen upgrade, I research appliances over and over. Today, I’m introducing you to your dream kitchen appliances!

A Maybe Kitchen Upgrade

October 26, 2015 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

I am excited to work with Sears Home Appliances as I dream of a possible kitchen upgrade. As always, while this post was sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I spend a lot of time in our kitchen. From cooking for my family to creating recipes for this little blog, I probably spend more time in our kitchen than I do any other room in our house. When we bought the house, I always knew I would want to upgrade some of the appliances and we have been slowly working to that end. We started with a refrigerator because the price just couldn’t be beat. Now, I am dreaming of maybe kitchen upgrade.

My house is pretty neutral when it comes to paint, furniture and even a lot of the artwork. So, I am always looking for ways to add color to my home. Of course, I want any changes I make to be quick and easy and not cost a ton of money because I will probably want to change it up in a few months. So, I thought I would share 3 ways you can easily add color to your home that are inexpensive and easy.

A Playroom with Playful Wall Stickers

November 11, 2013 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

Icon Wall Stickers provided me with a complementary wall sticker of my choice in exchange for this post.  However, as always, I only share products with you that I truly love and all opinions shared here are my own.

One of the things I loved most about this house when were looking at it is the extra room on the main floor.  It just seemed like the obvious place to create a playroom for our kids while they are young.  It houses toys and is the spot where they go for hours of fun!  We have tea parties and concerts and even a little quiet book reading.

Mini Burlap Wreath for Fall

October 8, 2013 By Shannah Coe 7 Comments

What do you do when you are decorating for fall and your mantel is just missing something.  There is a giant space in the middle of your favorite mirror and you have nothing on hand that works right.  Go shopping?  Well, that would be my first inclination too BUT I had a sleeping three year old and no parental back up…oh, and an overwhelming need to get this done now!  So, I ran down to my craft area and gathered up a few random supplies to throw together a mini burlap wreath for fall.Burlap Wreath on Mirror with label_wm …

H’s Room Update: Upcycled Paper Tray

July 22, 2013 By Shannah 17 Comments

Surgery put the brakes on changing H’s room to a bigger girl room but we are slowly moving forward.  While I was resting comfortably with my pain meds and my knee propped up, painters came and changed her room from pink to a gorgeous citron green {selected by H herself}.  Then, once I could move around a little bit, I took on a smaller project and upcycled a paper tray.

Wood Shim Art

June 11, 2013 By Shannah 33 Comments

This post originally appeared on Alderberry Hill.  I wanted to be sure to share it with you as well.

Awhile back, I picked up some wood shims from Lowe’s with plans to make some makeshift pallet artwork out of them.  I also grabbed one of the Valspar sample pots from the spring color line.  Thankfully, I finally found the time to create my wood shim art and wanted to share it with you!

Big Girl Rooms: Two Mood Boards

April 2, 2013 By Shannah 10 Comments

Have you ever tried to get a 5 {almost 6} year old to make design decisions?  Take it from me…you’d have an easier time ripping a princess dress from her hands. 

Um, how did she grow up so fast?

For H’s sixth birthday, we decided we would completely redecorate her room as part of her birthday present.  When we moved in, it was pretty hastily thrown together since
a) I was pregnant and also trying to do a nursery
b) she wasn’t really at an age where a big transition made sense.

Just Us Four in the Kitchen

February 26, 2013 By Shannah 2 Comments

When we first moved into our house, I bought a clock for a our kitchen.  I can’t explain why… there were already 2 clocks in there when you could the microwave and the oven.  But, a clock just seemed “right”.

As I’ve started making changes around the house, I decided that the clock was totally out of place.  It was black and tan and pretty fancy.  Our kitchen is the scene of crushed cheerios on the floor and flying blueberries.  There is absolutely nothing fancy about it!

So, I started the search for what to put there.  The kitchen is still a major work in progress so, in truth, the clock stayed there for awhile.  Then, this baby entered my life
