Five on Friday

-
Happy beautiful Friday! Since i'm still new here, i thought i'd use "five on friday" to show you five things i'd like to make future posts on.

1. Our bathroom Vanity Project
We have an old wash stand that we plan on turning into a vanity in our guest bathroom. When we got it, it was TRASH. I am in no way kidding. It was in terrible condition. I will be going through the whole process of refurbishing it soon.

2. My first chalk paint experience
I know, I know! I'm jumping onto this band wagon LATE! Chalk paint has now been around and popular for a few years. I finally broke down and decided to use it for a project i'm really excited to talk about. The chalk paint I used can be found here. I will be reviewing the paint itself as well.

3. Cooking
In my "let me introduce myself' post i had mentioned I was a lover of cooking. I LOVE cooking. It is such a rewarding task to me. I hope to show ya'll several recipes in the future and maybe even influence you to try out a few recipes i like to use.

4. Magnolia Table
I have pre-ordered Magnolia Table by Joanna Gaines on Amazon. I am so anxious for it's release date April 24th! Once I have it and read it I will be doing a full review. This kinda goes hand in hand with number 3. Maybe some of the recipes I show you will be from what may be my new favorite cook book! You also can pre-order it with this link. 

5. Thrifting
I've always liked going into thrift shops as well as antique shops and looking around trying to find good deals. Recently though i've had so much luck! I've learned so much about spotting the potential in all kinds of things. I want to give ya'll some tips that i personally use to find some great items!


Thanks you stopping in once again! Everyone have a great weekend!

    I soooo want to get Magnolia Table as well. I can't wait for it to come out. I really want to see the vanity makeover because I am wanting to redo our bathroom vanities.

      I am so excited! I preordered it months ago now. My vanity is still a work in progress but will absolutely be shown in the future. It’s a big project but it’ll be worth it!

Building up

We have pilings! For the past almost 3 years, my husband, dog, and myself have been living in a pull behind travel trailer. We are and will be forever grateful to have had the opportunity to live there and save money to build our home, but I WANT A HOUSE! It’s getting cramped and it’s a hard way to live! As of now, we have our pilings in the ground and they have passed inspection. Now, we can start on our floor joists. Now that the process has started it's moving along so quick! We live in a small community where everyone knows everyone and everyone slows down, yells, waves, and honks their horn as they drive by and see our progress. It's like everyone is just celebrating!  My husband Charlie, is such an amazing and hardworking man. I didn't mention before but, he is building our home! With some help from my dad, and many others within our community. I hope i'm doing this blog thing right! If you have any suggestions or comments please leave me a com

The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Happy Tuesday! If you're reading this it means you survived Monday, so you're winning! I have a wonderful chocolate chip cookie recipe that I now know by heart because I have made it so many times. My Granny used to make all kinds of cookies to give to all the children in her church for different holidays, but this has always been my favorite she made. My husband also loves them. You can customize them by adding oatmeal, nuts, maybe even dried fruits. They're wonderful with only the chocolate chips though.  Chocolate Chip Cookies 2 1/4 cup flour 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 and 1 Tbsp dark brown sugar 2 sticks margarine 16 oz bag semi sweet chocolate chips 2 large eggs 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla extract 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2.  Cream together margarine, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a stand mixer. 3.  Add in salt, baking soda, both eggs, and vanilla. 4.  Sift flour and add to wet mixture.

My Home Inspiration

Hey! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday! Over the weekend we made a ton of progress on our house. It's gotten me so motivated to work on things myself. I wanted to share a few things i've found on pinterest that has inspired me. If you'd like to check out my pinterest i'd really appreciate it! I have a bit of a pinterest problem. My Kitchen I love to cook, so i believe the kitchen should be special. It'll be the heart of our home and very probably the most used room in our home. My style is pretty simple but also very classy and pretty. I love wood elements, especially old wood. I love the story they tell. I would love to have all white everything in our kitchen but, my husband doesn't agree. I knew i'd have to make sacrifices somewhere so there it is. Fortunately I have fallen in love with these cabinets! They are still light and airy, but they add a pretty color to the space.   Our Bedroom I want our bedroom to be a sanct
