Day in the Life: Household Financial Management
It’s time for another installment in our monthly A Day in the Life series, and this month’s topic is household financial management. At first I thought that I really didn’t have much to share, but now I realize that I do, I just don’t have a lot of pretty photos to go along with my tips!

DIY under counter shelves from IKEA Bookcases
For the last week or so I hinted around here I was working on a REALLY BIG DIY in my kitchen as another step in my kitchen ‘makeover’, but I didn’t share that this project is also our 11 Magnolia Lane entry into the HomeRight IKEA Bookcase Challenge that is kicking off this month among all the HomeRight Ambassadors!

Our Favorite Gray/White/Neutral Paint Colors

A Masculine Wood and Metal Bourbon Bar Cart
Today’s post is about a little corner I created in our dining room for my husband, who is a big fan of all things bourbon and has quite a large collection of brown water. We actually had three separate areas in our house where we were stashing bottles, and he never knew where to find a particular one.

The Do's & Don'ts of Painting Kitchen Cabinets
The most common questions I got in my last house was about the kitchen cabinets. Did I paint them? (Yes!) Was it hard? (No!) Am I glad I did it? (Heck yes!) Will I paint (the person asking) cabinets for them? (No, haha,–but I’ll tell you how to do it!).
