Thank you First Alert for sponsoring this post. Don’t let the beep steal your sleep. Clearly we are about to be new parents. If you haven't noticed my growing belly and all the talk about pregnancy and motherhood on the blog lately. I don't know where you've been ;). Our daughter is due in this month and we've been making a lot of updates/ preparations to get ready for her. Our first little baby! We have been praying for our little girl since before we saw that first ultrasound with her ... continue reading...

Spare Room Update
Thank you Walls Need Love for sponsoring this post! All thoughts an opinions are my own. A couple months ago my friend Kelsey casually mentioned that if I ever wanted to help her figure out what to do with the extra room in her house I could. That pretty quickly turned into us planning on how to make her spare room a beautiful & livable space ;) Kelsey & her husband Dan have been doing a lot of work on the 1950's home they purchased a couple years ago. Long story short, one of the ... continue reading...
Making it a Meaningful Father’s Day
Thank you Artifact Uprising for sponsoring this post! All thoughts & opinions are my own. Twenty-nine years ago my dad was celebrating his first Father's Day. I was a month old and probably stinkin' adorable. He then became not only my father, but the father of two other little girls and a boy. And those girls all got married and added three son-in-laws to the party. Above and beyond, he has been a father figure to so many - an outstanding feat from a boy who never met his father until he ... continue reading...
An Unlikely Closet Makeover
Thank you Walls Need Love for sponsoring this post! Living, sleeping, and working in the same place can get a little crowded at times. And not for just one of us - we BOTH work at home. When I transitioned into Oak + Oats full time, we moved our office to our master bedroom. We knew we needed as much space as possible for our office. Over the year, that room has become the home for three (yes 3!) businesses. Oak + Oats, Bruce's job, and now Shop Oak + Oats. While I dream of a day when we ... continue reading...
Guest Bathroom Reveal
Thank you Walls Need Love for sponsoring this post. We have been wanting to upgrade our main level guest bathroom for some time now. When I first got the itch to make it over I went with a neon salmon that was too bright for the space. I still had the 80's construction grade vanity that I tried to hide with fabric and backstage movie star light fixture - it wasn't one of my favorite projects. Sometimes I get kind of down when a project doesn't go as planned (or when I don't have the money to do ... continue reading...
DIY Home Photography Studio
When Bruce & I first started talking about me working from home and blogging full time, I began thinking about all the things I wanted / needed to continue improving and growing. The thought of being a full time blogger was a kick in my pants to really start taking action steps toward what I wanted. I am not huge into studio photography, but I wanted a space where I could take pictures, leave things set up, store props, and take pictures indoors when I wanted to. I looked into studio spaces ... continue reading...
Our Tiny Laundry Room Reveal
We have a small space for our laundry room - literally just a closet. We made it that way when we finished the basement because we wanted more space for the living room, bathroom, and bedroom. I've always loved big, beautiful, laundry rooms filled with storage & baskets & plenty of space for hanging up clothes - but not every home is built that way! You can still take a small space and make it very practical (and cute too I must say!) Also, if you have been tracking with our basement ... continue reading...
A Hallway Makeover ( & $100 Giveaway)
I've been wanting to dip my toes into wallpaper for an embarrassingly long time. Yes I know, wallpaper is messy and a pain and ...outdated (or so you think!) I've done my fair share of scraping off layers of wallpaper from houses built in the 50's and spent my time in elementary school helping my mom hang up boarders around rooms (and then take them off again.) Even still, I've always loved something about it. ... continue reading...
