Home matters.

From daily chores to design and DIY, when curating a home,
we are creating space for our families to grow, learn, live, and love.
Come inside, curl up on a cozy chair, and join us in our journey
to find extraordinary joy in our ordinary home.

DIY Projects

A lot of our projects have been custom upcycles or specially-designed applications for our home, but we love sharing DIY (DIwYatt) plans and step-by-step project guides for you whenever we can! And we love when you try (and share) your projects with us, too! 

LIFE at home

I love beautiful houses on Instagram, but I REALLY love seeing real lives and hearing real talk about life at home, so that’s what we always try to share on social media. We share current projects, varying degrees of mess, and just pretty things to hopefully encourage your home journey.

our bookshelves

We believe books are beautiful tools for shaping our lives at home and we cherish them–both on our shelves in in our hearts! From the family room to the bedroom, to  the kitchen, and yep, even the bathroom, we use books in every room of our house! What about you?

BEE-Day Party Fun – How to Throw a SWEET Big Party for A Little Budget

For my 30th birthday this year, we wanted to have a big party and of course, I like a good theme, so since Melissa actually means “honeybee” in Greek, and Wyatt and I have special significance to bees as a symbol, a BEE-Day bash seemed like the perfect fit.Wyatt also had the amazing idea of doing a giant charcuterie spread for food. It’s my favorite date night or special occasion food and I already eat way more cheese than most people probably would ever expect or find normal. So, we bought Sam’s Club out of cheese (just kidding. Sort of), Wyatt baked a BUNCH of homemade sourdough (the BEST!), and we had some meats and my favorite accompaniments.

Simplifying Our Bedroom

So, if you follow me over on Instagram (you should!), you’ll probably know I recently sold my big bedroom dresser. When we moved into this house, we purchased a matching set with a huge chest for Wyatt and a huge dresser for me. At first, they were perfect for us (you can read the embarrassingly cheesy post HERE), but in my journey to simplify my wardrobe, I have gotten rid of over 100 pieces of clothing, and most of my drawers in this huge dresser were empty.I did still have clothing in three drawers, and we actually had a 6 drawer dresser in the basement that was from the same childhood set as the small chest in our closet. So, a little measuring and some heavy lifting to get the old dresser up the stairs, then one final rearranging to get all the clothes in the new (actually super old) white 6-drawer dresser in the closet, and my big dresser was finally totally empty.

The Navy Blue House on the Corner

Well, we finally made one of the biggest changes we have made to our house yet, and now when people come over for the first time, we can tell them to look for “the navy blue house on the corner,” and that feels so much nicer than “that sort of tan or green house.” Right?Last year, one of our home goals was to get our house painted. Not only did we have some wood rot issues (normal, not excessive), but we also just really wanted to ditch the sort of poop greenish brown color for something more our style. I have to say, if you’re wanting to freshen up your curb appeal and you have a couple thousand bucks to spend, this is SOOO WORTH IT. I mean…look at this before and after!

Our 2019 Home Goals

Well, friends, it’s now getting close to three months into 2019 and like last year, I’m just now sharing out home goals. But, that’s okay, because even though we never cross them all off the list, I still like that it makes us think through projects that we’ve been dreaming about and planning. I appreciate that it gives us something to work towards and to look back on and see how we did. I love that it makes the year feel like it is full of hope and potential. So, here we go with our 2019 Home Goals!
