Why hello there! Just dropping in on the ol’ blog to show you a project we worked on about a month or so ago: Ryder’s room. This was a project that was hanging over our heads for a while. I want(ed) to update the boys’ rooms so they reflect each of their personalities better. This… Continue reading Ryders room

I recently completed a redesign of a sunroom for friends of mine and thought you guys would like to see some before and afters. I know it’s been forever and a day since I’ve posted on my blog, but I’m hoping to get back to it as projects arise. So here we go–let’s dive into… Continue reading Sunroom redesign

This post has been a loooong time coming. If you follow me over on Instagram, you know I’ve been saying for weeks now that I’d take some pics of our new kitchen. Well here they are finally. We moved into our new house on December 27, 2016 and knew right away (actually before we even moved… Continue reading Our New Kitchen

This is what our house has looked like up until recent days. Remember when I painted the front door magenta? That was way back in April! After that, Mitch bumped out around the door and attached the faux side-lights and things kinda came to a grinding hault. I suppose that’s what happens when you work on/complete projects as… Continue reading House exterior update

We went for a walk today and I thought I’d bring my “real” camera along. We saw lots of cool things, including an interesting box turtle making his way around the middle of the woods. Ryder discovered him when he almost stepped on him. After briefly researching when we came home, we learned that male… Continue reading Summer hike

This project was a loooong time coming. As a matter of fact, I blogged about wanting to fix up our mailbox here, almost 4 years ago (!!!). But you know how it is–projects like these tend to sit around for a while, even if you have good intentions. And we totally did. We even had a… Continue reading A mailbox makeover

So it all started a couple weeks ago when I sent Mitch a text… Magenta. While I don’t really consider myself a girly-girl, I do enjoy this pinky-purple colored hue. And after educating Mitch on the shade, I couldn’t get it out of my head. I needed magenta in my life. Like yesterday. So where… Continue reading The day i painted our door pink

Hi. I’m Kat. And I used to blog all the time on this here blog, but haven’t actually sat down at my laptop to type something in a very long time. Seriously, with smart phones and texting, who types on a regular keyboard anymore? Sheesh. But I figured it was time. I was perusing my Instagram account and kept… Continue reading Closet barn door ohand hi

I noticed the other day when looking through my house tour, I never officially revealed our dining room. If you’ve been following MLST for a little while, you’ve probably seen lots of dining room pictures, primarily from the DIY projects that were completed in that room. But I thought I may as well show you guys… Continue reading Our dining room

Just in case you guys haven’t noticed, I’ve kinda been in a baking mood lately. I think cooler temps does that to me (you, too?) ‘Cause after all–who wants to turn their oven on in the summer months of 90 degree days? Cooler temperatures, heartier flavors, and spices just are another reasons to love fall.… Continue reading Molasses cookies made with coconut oil
