I’m back with another month in review and I gotta say, I kind of dig writing these at the end of the month. It makes me feel uber productive. And here’s the thing, I do accomplish a lot in a month, house-wise – but remember that’s kinda my gig. ;)
But the pile of papers two feet high in my office hasn’t been touched all month, so yeah…
I kicked off the month with simple change in the family room that made a HUGE difference. You can find out more about that here and then the avalanche of a few more changes here:
I truly cannot believe the difference changing out a mirror made. Amazing.
I reworked a spot in our master bedroom too, using what I had from around the house:

I sit in that spot every morning and LOVE my little “nook.” The Bub has one, why shouldn’t Momma? :)
My dream of an organized basement became a reality when we had the (amazingly fantastic) cubbies built:

We’ve had fun getting things organized and sorted out. OK, I’ve had fun organizing and sorting, the kiddo is just glad to have a spot for toys. It’s made such a difference down there, I cannot even. tell. you.
I swear we’re never moving…I love our basement and I love our house!!
Speaking of the basement…a major purge began earlier this month thanks to some visitors we had last fall. I finally got up the energy to tackle the mess left behind by the mice who invaded our house:

Not those cute paper mice by the way. I spared you a picture of the real little dudes.
The organizing and purging bug hits me every new year, and then just as I start losing my will, February and the hope for spring hits, and then I get it all over again.
I have SO many spots to tackle, but I shared how a simple, quick purge can make such a difference here:

You guys always share great tips and tricks in the comments, take a look at that post for some great ones!
I was thrilled to work with Home Depot this month to promote their Do-It-Herself workshops! They are held every month, but I helped out with the Pinterest-inspired one for February:

I think I’m going to tackle this project in our basement bathroom! I’ll let you know how it turns out.
I am still pinching myself because Target called and asked if I wanted to blog about their stuff and I was like HECK YEAH. So I shared a few changes I made to the foyer with their Threshold items:

The flowers smell AMAZING by the way. GoodNESS, I am ready for spring.
I’ve become a bit of an obsessed plant-lady over the past few months and I told you about a few of my favorites here:

Those cutie little air plants are SO easy to care for and they are growing so fast! I may need bigger bowls soon. ;)
Many of you asked about the kitchen window treatments and I added a link to that project in the comments of the air plant post for you!
Finally, I finished up the month sharing a few caulking tools and tips:

That little blue wedge makes the job SO much easier!
There you go, a few of the February projects wrapped up in a nice little post! Remember if you’d like to keep up with projects as they happen around here you can follow me on Instagram, and I always love talking with you all on Facebook too. :)
Hope you have a lovely, safe, warm weekend! Don’t forget the March Before and After linky will go up Monday morning!
I love the blue tool!!
ReplyDeleteI am loving your foyer! That blue buffet is a dream and the pops of green put me in the mood for spring. Pure happiness!!!
ReplyDeleteSarah, I had 2 gals re-pin my pins of your foyer re-do! They loved the look so much. I'll bet you'll have some new followers!
ReplyDeleteOh I love your house too, I wouldn't ever move either. I do agree, that mirror on the fireplace is fantastic. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI don't think that I have ever commented on your blog, but i just wanted you to know that I have been following you for a year now and you are such a great inspiration. I actually started a blog because of yours! Thanks for being awesome! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou got me sooooo hooked on to Target by making everything look so prettty... i am setting my apt for spring now... and being a student- TARGET is just perfect... loving the changes you made :) so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteLoving the Threshold items from Target! So cute! I just did a post the other day on my blog using some frames I picked up at good, old Tar-jay! I'm also going out to get one of those little blue wedges TODAY! Genius!

I love the blue tool- sent the email to my mom for her to use, it would make life much easier. Where do you post winners to your giveaways? I think I've asked before, but I've forgotten :)
ReplyDeleteI love the monthly summary! What a fabulous idea to reflect on what you have accomplished over the month. I enjoyed it!
