This space. It makes my heart flutter. When you walk into our home, you are greeted with this lovely quilt. I have used this quilt in different photo sessions and now it is living on my couch, bringing joy to each person we welcome into our home. These quilts hold so much history. I can't wait to pass these treasures down to my kids. I package each quilt up dreaming of the new life it will lead. These vintage finds are more than props or something to keep warm, they are works of art. (And this one is still listed in the store!)
Fireplace Makeover
I have a list a mile long of projects for our house. For the past five years of our marriage, we have rented, so this is the first home we can "change." Many of the projects I want to tackle include tile, but we have never tiled before. So, we decided to start with this small, flat, okay if it is un-even space.
It is such a simple change, but it adds so much more character to this space. I still plan to add a couple of changes to the fireplace, but for now, we can now say "we can tile!"
Thankfully, my husband took charge and did 90% of the work. I simply sat there, talked, and added mortar to the tiles.
The first day, we laid all of the tile and let is dry for 24 hours before adding the grout.
Day two, we (Justin) added the grout. I did nothing but empty the buckets of water. I think I like projects. ;)
Day three, we caulked the edges. We then cleaned the tile to remove any water residue and excess grout.
First tile project = success
