Do you remember last December when I shared how I was attempting to get my home featured in a magazine? ⁣⁣I shared a 5 step process with input from the experts and the experienced on how to get featured in a magazine, and I promised I would update you on the journey!⁣⁣I sent a pitch to 4 popular home and garden magazines, and today on the blog I am sharing an UPDATE 😍⁣⁣Click on the link in my bio to learn how to get your home featured in a magazine and check out the UPDATE!

Did you know that there is a difference between a peach crisp recipe and a peach cobbler recipe? ⁣⁣I didn't.⁣⁣Truthfully, the thought never crossed my mind despite the fact that I make two very different recipes.⁣⁣A crisp is a fruit layer topped with more of an oat streusel, and a cobbler has more of a cake-like topping. ⁣⁣Today, not to be confused with a peach crisp, I am sharing how to make a peach cobbler - the more traditional, old-fashioned way. ⁣⁣Butter, flour, and sugar never tasted so good.⁣⁣Click on the link in my bio to get the recipe!

Happy Saturday! As many of you know I am recovering from what was a mild case of COVID which has primarily resulted in the loss of taste and smell. ⁣⁣I am out of quarantine, but because my kids tested negative they were stuck in it for a full extra week, and they are really looking forward to being back to school next week!⁣⁣Rephrase - we are ALL looking forward to them being back in school next week.⁣⁣Today on the blog we are chatting about the week in review including a sweet little celebration the girls threw for Caleb. ⁣⁣Click on the link in my bio, grab that cuppa jo and join me for coffee and conversation on the blog!

Do you remember our very first fixer upper, the Vintage Victorian? ⁣⁣In keeping with the basement theme we've got goin' on this week, I'm throwing it back to one of the first posts I ever wrote on the renovation of our Victorian basement.⁣⁣I guess a lot of people with Victorian homes would love ideas on what to do with their basements. ⁣⁣This post is so popular, believe it or not, it ranks 1st in Google for anyone who searches "Victorian basement." ⁣⁣Who knew.⁣⁣In fact, this dungeon-like basement actually helped "sell the house" for the buyers when we put it on the market. True story. ⁣⁣You can see which room "sold it" on the blog post. ⁣⁣Click on the link in my bio and join me for this vintage Victorian basement renovation as we transform it from dark and dreary to bright and beautiful including an exercise room and a craft room!

Many of you have been following along with our current small basement renovation here at our third fixer upper. ⁣⁣This home is from the 1960s and the ceiling is not very high although passable by code. In order to make the basement feel bigger as well as limit extra costs, we are designing an open concept ceiling which means leaving the joists exposed.⁣⁣Determining how to finish the ceiling of any basement remodel can be challenging. ⁣⁣Today on the blog I have rounded up 44 basement ceiling ideas broken down into 7 categories: scrolling through this gallery of basement ceiling inspiration that is broken down into 7 categories: ⁣⁣- Exposed Basement Ceilings⁣- Plank Basement Ceilings⁣- Metal Basement Ceilings⁣- Decorative Tile Basement Ceilings⁣- Drop Basement Ceilings⁣- Coffered Basement Ceilings⁣- Wood Beam Basement Ceilings⁣⁣Click on the link in my bio to scroll through this gallery and figure out how you're going to finish your new basement!⁣⁣Photo: @thisoldhouse
