Hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m glad you’re here. This week on the blog I shared the freshly painted ceiling on our front porch. That basic plywood ceiling has never looked so good. Total game changer. I also, finally, shared the reveal of our home gym. I like to sit with things before I write about them to make sure they work. I must say, it feels a little pretentious to even say that we have a home gym. Like we are fancier than we actually are. We’re still us but maybe eventually with stronger muscles. Haha! I know you have plenty of options for how you spend…

Hello! Welcome to the Happy List. I’m glad you’re here. This week on the blog was all about Halloween prep. I shared our Halloween mantel complete with a cute BOO sign I painted. I also wrote about the Halloween shirts that would be fun to wear as a group costume. If you do dress up, send me a picture so I can celebrate how awesome you look! As always, thank you for being here today. It makes my day to share things with you that interested me, made me smile, or made me think this week. I hope it makes your day too. If you want to connect, and I…

Hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. It is fantastic to see you here. This week I shared the reveal of our Carriage House restoration. If you enjoy stone buildings, this post will tickle your fancy. I also shared the reclaimed wood bench we made. We’re using it in our home gym and it’s the perfect addition. As always, thank you for being here today. It makes my day to share things with you that interested me, made me smile, or made me think this week. I hope it makes your day too. If you want to connect, and I hope you do, you can always comment on this blog…

Hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. It’s so good to see you here. This week on the blog I shared the gorgeous floor we uncovered in our Carriage House. I wish the rest of the building had that floor. Hubba Hubba! I also wrote about the way I “fixed” a cracked wood bowl that I found on the side of the road. I love a good trash find, don’t you? As always, thank you for being here today. It makes my day to share things with you that interested me, made me smile, or made me think this week. I hope it makes your day too. If you want…

Hi! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m delighted that you are here on Friday the 13th! This week on the blog I shared an epic stone fireplace transformation. I still can’t believe the difference a little (okay, a lot) of elbow grease made. I also shared the tiny makeover I gave to our exterior lights this summer that made a big difference! Those lights look much more expensive than they actually were now. As always, thank you for being here today. It makes my day to share things with you that interested me, made me smile, or made me think this week. I hope it makes your day too.…

Hi! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m glad you’re here. This week on the blog, I shared the drone pictures we received of our home. That was the best. I have an aerial photo of this house from the mid-1990s too. I’d do a side-by-side comparison, but it’s hard to see the house in the older aerial photo due to all of the tree coverage. I also answered the question no one asked. Why is there so much wood in an old stone wall? As it turns out, there are so many reasons and I have photographic evidence. You can read about that here. The picture at the top…

Hello, hello! Thank you for joining me for this week’s Happy List. It is so good to have you here. This week on the blog I wrote in detail about one little piece of trim on our windows – the drip edge. Who would have thought I had so much to say about one little board? I also shared the messy middle of our stone carriage house gym conversion. (That’s a mouthful.) It’s literally the most messy project but progress has been made. As always, thank you for being here today. It makes my day to share things with you that interested me, made me smile, or made me think…

Hi! I’m thrilled you are here for today’s Happy List. Whenever I take a week off the blog, I miss sharing the weekly Happy List. To recap, it was a fun week on the blog, for me at least! Ha! I shared how to make a Wood Leaf Wreath for the upcoming fall season. I love these wood leaves SO MUCH. I may buy more to make a garland. Have you noticed that I enjoy crafting with wood, particularly for fall crafts? It’s the best. I also shared the plan for converting our Carriage House into a home gym. The plan involved a hammer and some crying. Ice cream was…

Hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m so glad you’re sharing this little spot of the internet with me today. Can you believe it’s already August? This week on the blog I wrote all about flower monogram embroidery and all the different ways I love it and want to incorporate it into my life. Wreath sashes, clothing, wall hangings…so many possibilities, so little time. I also shared a blast from the archives, a post about our hot press when we lived in Ireland. Don’t know what a hot press is? Think it might be a good way to make a panini? Go read the post to find out. As…

Hey, hey! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. It’s good to see you here. This week on the blog was a random one. I shared how to fix headphones with misshapen earpads. What I didn’t mention is that when earpads start to wear out, they will leave little black flakes on your skin. I’ll be looking at Handy Husband freaking out that he has skin cancer and then realize, nope, it was his headphones deteriorating. *sigh* I also shared how I plant the hydroponic lettuce that I buy from the grocery store. This week it was on sale for $2.50 a head. It makes me feel very victorious when I…
