Large Scale Canvas Print - The Adored Abode

DIY Large Scale Canvas

We have a new art addition to our living room and I am so excited about it! I saw this White Sands print from Juniper Print Shop and fell in love. I knew it could make a statement printed as a canvas with a floating frame around it. Plus, Nathan loves New Mexico and this beautiful print of New Mexico felt like it melded both of our styles nicely (neutral for me and paid homage to Nathan's love for that…

Master Bedroom Refresh - The Adored Abode

Master Bedroom Refresh – The Reveal

After living with our bedroom 80% done for the past two years I decided it was finally time to put the finishing touches on the space. I wrote about the plan here and tweaking the plan here. If you're curious we ended up going with #4!, minus the artwork, which I ended up deciding to keep in our living room - story of my decorating life. I am always switching things around and often like something so much I want…

Master Bedroom Refresh – Tweaking the Design (& 6 Mood Boards)

This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. For more information, see my disclosures here.  The plans for our master bedroom refresh got a little sidelined when I decided to put the rug I ordered in the living room instead of the bedroom. I wasn't back to square one exactly because our DIY headboard slipcover, nightstands, and light fixture were all still staying the same. The rug was the only major change, but it was a big change because the…

Easy DIY Board & Batten - The Adored Abode

Easy Board & Batten DIY

This past winter we added a simple board and batten wall treatment to the hallway where you enter from the garage into the kitchen. We previously had a shoe cabinet and a store bought wall hook. This set up worked just fine, except for one thing. The hallway is pretty tight and the walls kept getting all dinged and scratched! I repainted this hallway (especially below the coat hook) 3 times before I had enough. The problem with wall paint…

New Vintage Style Living Room Rug – First Impression

This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. For more information, see my disclosures here.  As of this last weekend we have a new rug in our living room! I originally bought this rug for our bedroom refresh since our previous bedroom rug was not holding up and got the boot to the guest room (that has much less foot traffic), but once this new rug was delivered I had a feeling it would end up in our living room, with…

Pretty Pet Supplies - The Adored Abode

Pretty Pet Supplies

It's no secret I am a dog lover. Many of you know we have two dogs who truly are the center of our lives. Yes, we are crazy pet parents and I'm not ashamed! We know our dogs live pretty comfortable lives and are pretty spoiled. In case you are wondering, yes, they are allowed on furniture... and to let you in a on a not-so-secret, they do sleep in bed with us too. This was a habit we tried…

Spring Home Tour - The Adored Abode

Breath of Fresh Air – Spring Home Tour

It is finally feeling like spring here in Kansas City, I just hope it stays that way! I have been craving some spring time changes in our house with fresh flowers and pops of lighter and brighter colors. What better way to celebrate the coming of spring than with a spring home tour! A huge thank you to Mansa of Simplicite Design and Sweets for putting this fun spring home tour blog hop together. If you are coming from are…

Rookie Reno Lessons: Prepping Subfloor for Flooring Install

Today marks the start of a new blog series – Rookie Reno Lessons. When we bought our home almost 3 years ago we were (and I would say we still are!) renovation newbies. Over the course of 3 years we have tackled many projects in our home and with each project comes a few new lessons learned, things we would have done differently, and things we wish we would have known ahead of time. I thought by starting this series…

Today I am sharing some tips for how you can create a relaxing space, a place where you want to spend more time that just "working" time, but also a place that is inviting to work in as well.

Our master bedroom has been 3 years in the making and I am finally sharing the plans to finish the space #moodymasterbedroom

Master Bedroom Refresh – Plans

Our master bedroom has been almost 3 years in the making. We have made a lot of progress on our room, but it is still lacking the finishing touches. Despite our ongoing upstairs bathroom remodel (and my better judgement) I decided to also start working on a mini master bedroom refresh to finally complete all of the details in the space to really make the room feel like a retreat! When we moved in our bedroom looked like this. Not…
