There is definitely something to be said about connections. You meet a person or people and you feel like you’ve known them for years. That is what I felt this weekend. For the ppl in this pics, thanks for being yourselves unapologetically. @havenconference 2021, you don’t owe me a thing… except maybe some sleep because ya girl is TIRED!

As you all are fully aware the basement updates are in full swing! I am loving how these space is truly evolving into a cozy, family room/play area. Not only does our @stainmaster PetProtect® carpet make this space feel warm, inviting, and cozy with its low pile, and subtle design, but I really love to see it as the foundation of the space without it feeling overpowering. It's truly perfect!

It's hard to believe what the peachy-toned carpet looked like down here before, but I am definitely enjoying the journey! (swipe for before) #stainmaster #lowesgoals #lowespartner

Yay guys! The guest bathroom refresh is complete just in time for guests this coming weekend! #ad Now that it’s done, I added some much -needed essentials to from the @zestsoap new line of cleansing products, the Power of Zest. I’m sure you’re already familiar with the Zest name, but the new Power of Zest line offers a variety of fragrances that stimulate the senses, without parabens and other harmful ingredients, while moisturizing soothing, and keeping the skin vibrant.

Now I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my guests, and hoping that they love this product as much as I do. I’ll definitely be asking them before they leave, lol. My favorite from the line is Lemon Peel & Agave. You can shop for this product or learn more by visiting the link in my bio.

If you were a guest, would you be feeling this refresh and special touches that I added?

The weekend guest bathroom refresh is done! If you

The weekend guest bathroom refresh is done! If you watched in my stories, It may seem like I did a lot. Yes and no. Board and batten is quick to pop on the wall, mainly because I’ve done it before and its a pretty simple process.

The part that took the longest was caulking and painting, mainly because I HATE to do both. Spray painting the mirror was quick, and changing out the light shades was quick. I don’t love the silver light, but since I changed out the shades, I don’t hate it and I ran out of time.

So here is what I did besides painting and board and batten… The flowers are from my yard, I added a few new bath accessories, a new faucet and sink, and now I am good to go. This refresh was around $250 max. Are we loving this green? I totally am and already scheming about where I am using it next😉! Swipe to see how this bathroom has changed over the years.

Edit: i said this makeover was around $250. I didn’t factor in the sink so add another $120, so around $375. Still not bad!

I’m a firm believer that art doesn’t have to be super complex and comes in so many shapes and forms!

#ad Did you guys see how I made this suuuuuuper simple DIY art using @krylonbrand COLORmaxx and Brilliant Metallic Spray paint for my basement shelf? Furthermore, did you guys know that you could even spray paint paper? This was my first time and the color went on flawlessly and did not run at all. It adhered to the paper in the most perfect way. Spray painting paper gives so many options for DIY art.

If you didn’t see how I made this art using three cutouts from cardstock, and an old frame that I spray painted black, then you have to check out my stories before they disappear, if you miss it, I will save it as a highlight!
What do you think?

Simple enough to try your own DIY spray painted art right?

Why is vacation so tiring? I’m running on fumes

Why is vacation so tiring? I’m running on fumes this week after my girls weekend in New Orleans. Swipe through to see my weekend in review with the last photo being actual footage of me today😫 I wouldn’t trade it for the world though. Good times with the very best people. If you are waiting on a sign that you need a girls trip, this is it💁🏾‍♀️

Whenever I need more storage, my first thought is

Whenever I need more storage, my first thought is to build something using vertical space to add not only function, but some style. #ad This shelf that I built and stained using @minwaxusa Wood Finish Penetrating Oil-Based Interior Stain in Special Walnut for my basement is the perfect mix of fun and functionality.

As I make the transition to putting Juju’s toys in this space, I didn’t just want to throw a couple of baskets down there and be done. I wanted to at least make it a style piece that I could play around with, and I have to admit, I am in love with this shelf and its beautiful wood tones. The colors complement the ceiling so nicely!
All of the building and staining plans will be saved as highlights, but head to my stories now to see how I brought this beautiful shelf to life with the simple staining process.

So are we feeling it? Can’t you see this space evolving! It makes me smile every time I am in it. (Swipe to see the space before) 📸 @hannahlozanophoto

So tomorrow I head out on my annual girls trip that was cancelled last year, and I am way too excited! I’m gonna miss my husband and kids and all, but can one of y’all come by and check on my plants while I’m gone? 😫
