First, let me just say that I am not a financial professional. And some of the things I’m going to share here may just seem like common sense tips. Disclaimers aside, my goal today is to collect the advice I’ve learned tackling projects, from a financial perspective, during my 10+ years of home ownership.

Utility Closet Revamp
This week in my Monday Musings post I talked about tools I use to plan my life. If you missed it, you can read it HERE. So I thought an appropriate tie in would be revealing the latest setup of my utility closet, where I keep my TOOLS! See what I did there? It’s gotten a little update since I last shared it HERE.

Blogmas Day #1: Holiday Decorations
Merry Blogmas! I’m kicking this off a day later than expected due to an unforeseen (and very unwelcome) illness over the weekend (but I’m backdating to yesterday lol). I’m mostly back to good health now, and am sharing my 2025 decorations today! It’s been a hot minute since I shared my holiday decor on the blog (you can see it from 2018 HERE and 2020 HERE), but I’ve used the same bits over the years and this year I added a few new cozy elements in the form of pillow covers and a festive Squishmallow (plus a knockoff one lol)! Without further ado, the holiday decor tour!

My Hygge Nest! Living Room Reveal
Last month I wrote a post with ideas for making the most of your spaces during the colder seasons HERE. Today, I’m sharing how I recently did that in my own home by making a hygge inspired nest on my new couch, which has a pull out section to create a sleeper, but it also works great for snuggling up in the fall and winter.

Creating Seasonal Spaces
The climate at this time of year is different across the country and around the world, but if your hometown is like where I live, you’re finally starting to feel fall temperatures. The leaves are changing colors and starting to fall here, and today is downright cold. I still want to be able to enjoy the outdoors, and do so comfortably—that is, warmly.

My Organizing & Decluttering Debrief
This project has been a long time coming. Years in the making in fact. It’s not done yet, but my goal is to have it completed by the end of 2025, at which point I will share the before and after. What’s the project, you ask? Organizing (and decluttering) my mom’s basement.

Halloween Decor Roundup + Creative Costumes Ideas
If I’m being honest here (and I always am), I’ve never really decorated for Halloween. Not in my own house anyway.

Mid-Makeover: Current Closet Configuration
Today I’m sharing the current state of my closet. That is, what it looks like after I took out the old dining chairs that have been stashed in there since June, went through the bins along the top to remind myself what was even in them, pulled items I wanted to donate, straightened everything out and made sure it looked halfway decent…

Project Punch List
Hello my lovelies!
Today I’m sharing my 2021 Project Punch List! Last year, I went around my house, Notes app open on my iPhone, and started logging every little (or big) thing I wanted/needed to tackle in each room. The idea was to come up with 52 items, so that I could complete one task each week and have the list done by the end of the year. Some of the items are small, and require the same supplies as another item, so they can be done at once. Others are bigger and may take more than one week. And quite frankly, some are more expensive than I may be able to tackle in 2021.
