We have just come back from a week long vacation to Disney World. Holy cow, you guys. It was a lot of fun, but I am completely wiped out. Temps near 100 degrees, crowds like you wouldn’t believe, and more skin showing on people than should ever be seen. Izzy even asked me if the girl in front of us forgot to put her pants on. I wondered the same thing. I am SO glad to be home. This was our first trip to Disney, and I learned a lot. The next time we go I’ll be so much more prepared and will pack entirely different. I think I may even put a quick post together if anyone is interested.
Anywho, today I’m sharing with you guys our fourth house. If you’re just joining, I’m sharing how my style (or lack thereof) has changed over the years and with each house. You can catch up by clicking on our first house, second house, and third house.
This fourth house was the one we rented when we first moved to the Houston area. Mike came down a few months before the kids and I since we were still trying to sell our home back in Wichita. He took care of finding our rental house for us. It was really nice not having to stress about it. Well I mean he stressed, but I didn’t 😉

This one’s for you Amy! Here’s a little bit of what I’ve been up to lately. Painting, painting, and more painting! I can’t wait to be done! We still have lots of baseboards to rip out and all of the windows to paint, ugh. Yesterday I did manage to whip up a pillow with some…
permanent marker v. me
Thank you so much for all of your comments regarding the permanent marker incident. It really does make me feel better knowing I’m not the only one whose child is entertained by giving their mothers heart attacks ;D And, thanks for all of the tips you had for trying to remove “art” from the walls! …

laundry room makeover
Last week I showed you guys my messy laundry room. I worked on it over the weekend and am so freaking, stinking excited about how it turned out!!! A reminder of the state it was in before. The makeover started with making a skirt to hide all the junk under the table top. I had a…
home resolutions – 2013
I’ve been putting together my list of things I hope to get accomplished around the house this year. As of today (because if you’re anything like me you’ll end up adding to the list not because you have time to do it all but because you easily get distracted by pretty things and have a…
master bathroom hardware | progress
We’ve got vanity hardware happening in the master finally! We’ve been without cabinet hardware in here for so long that I’ve actually had to remind myself to use the knobs instead of pulling the drawers open from the top. I wanted something simple and found these oil rubbed bronze little oval knobs in stock at…

Newestyou guys really made that rental home and look like YOU. i love your distinct style!
Thank you! I think I really enjoyed the challenge of making it feel like home without spending money or doing anything permanent.
It's amazing how much you can learn from living in a place. I never thought about the square rooms but I can imagine it would be hard to decorate irregular shaped ones. Our home is very traditional but we used to live in a condo that had kind of an irregular shaped living area. Though, back then we were young and not really 'decorating' much yet! I love seeing what you have done in each place you have lived. Such fun posts!

The square rooms thing really drove me batty. It was, no joke, number one on our list of requirements for a new house. It's funny looking back at past decorating decisions. I can't help but think about how I would change everything if I was there now. Kind of like looking back at our wedding. Yikes!
