"To my son, never forget that I love you with all my heart. Life is filled with hard times but also good times. Learn from everything you can. Be the man I know you can be."

Goodness, last time I blogged was 3 years ago when Evie was just few months old! Since then, so much has happened. Such as, welcoming baby boy Logan, who is now 2yrs old, Evie is 3 and Kaylee is turning 8 this Friday! Next month will mark our 5 years living in our home so I thought why not do a home update. Last Fall, we updated our kitchen using  Kitchen Refresh . We spend so many hours in our kitchen that it became the place where we all gather to hang out, eat and mingle. I was never a big fan of the honey oak cabinets and knew that we would need to update it someday. We also did not want to get rid of the cabinets because they are still really nice and sturdy.  We had Kitchen Refresh painted the cabinets and put new shaker doors to brighten up the room. Here is the evolution of our kitchen. We updated our island with granite countertop Kitchen Refresh painted our cabinets, we had to wait few days for the paint to dry before they could install the new doors. Here

Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by, it has been a hot minute since the last time I blogged. So excited to reveal our den/office space. Kaylee and I absolutely love this room since we spend a lot of time in here. Playing, learning, laughing and making memories together. Thanks so much for stopping by. It's crazy to think that we have been living in our home for exactly 7 months now! Cant wait to share the rest of the house with everyone. Have a great week! xoxo Yvonne

So excited to reveal our living room today! Our living room is about 80% completed. Still need to figure out what to put on left and right side of fireplace...bookcase perhaps? I am an indecisive person, I switch out the decor every other day! (Hubby loves it! ha!) Here is the before: day of the walk through So thankful for my husband for making our house more homier. Always putting up with my crazy ideas.  Here is the after photo! What a difference a new coat of paint can do to a room. Our old coffee table was too low.... We have extra Ikea Lack tables so we are temporary using it as a coffee table until we get new one. Scored Nate Berkus decorative pillows at Target for just little over $7! I love a good deal! Still need something around this area, not sure yet..possible some frames. And there you have it, the reveal of our living room! Thank you so much for stopping by.  Still many more rooms to reveal, stay tuned! Have a wonderf
