Today I thought I'd share a quick tip with you all. I don't know about y'all, but it seems like quick projects are all I can find time for right now! Do you have any wood frames or furniture that look a little tired? Unfortunately, I forgot to take a before picture (I hate that!), but this little wooden stool that my son uses to reach the sink has been dripped on one a million too many times. The wood was definitely looking a little dry and sad, almost white in places. I've recently seen lots ... Read More about 5 Minute Refresh for Worn-out Wood

Keeping Busy
I thought I'd share a little something outside the box tonight... I do a little photography on the side, and I had the privilege today of photographing the precious 6-week-old daughter of one of my best friends. Could she be any cuter? Her mom and I had way too much fun coming up with creative ways to stage her... Can't beat those sweet moments with the little ones... They are gone all too fast, aren't they? ...

Whitewashed Curtain Rod Tutorial
As promised when I shared my gray window, here is the tutorial on my $5 curtain rods.

But for these, I paid $5 for the rods and $8 for the bracket. Not bad for $13 ... Read More about Whitewashed Curtain Rod Tutorial
Back Porch Tour
While I shared my honest report on our shed last week, I thought I'd snap a few pictures of our back porch to share, as well. This post is less of a reveal and more of a "state of the porch" address... plus a call to action advice. ;) I've been laughing for the past month as blogland is erupting with porch makeovers and outdoor space decor, usually coupled with comments like, "I'm so glad we can finally be outdoors!" or "Yay for some warm weather!" Ha. ha. Anyone else from Houston can ... Read More about Back Porch Tour
A Wedding at Maison de Pax
Like I said in my last post, I spent this past week cleaning off my back porch in preparation for a wedding at Maison de Pax. Mr. Pax and I are actually traveling right now, but my parents (who are watching my children... could this get any more complicated?!?!) are hosting a wedding for a family friend at our home. Can you tell we enjoy a little chaos? ;) Since the bride is French, I couldn't resist putting their wedding date in her native language. Mr. Pax and I left on Thursday, but I ...
