girls spring style

It’s been a while since I did one of these round ups. I thought it would be fun since Spring is around the corner and you may be looking for some cute spring break vacation outfits for your girls. I included plenty of basics and warm stuff for the rest of winter. Most of the …

FAQ: What paint colors did you use in your kitchen?

I used Behr Shoelace on the walls/paneling (Eggshell finish) and the cabinets, shelves, and vent hood are painted Sherwin Williams Shiitake (Satin finish)

I love them together!

When the sun finally comes out and makes everything better, including the mist from your favorite $21 Amazon diffuser.

Comment “Amazon” for the link.

Isn’t this statistic motivating? Less stuff equals less to organize, less to dust, and less to find a place for. Keep it simple.

It all started when we posted our upper cabinets for sale on FB Marketplace. They unexpectedly sold within minutes and we needed to take them down in a hurry to have them ready for pick up the next morning.

That’s when things got real! It forced us to take the next steps in a project that I’d been dreaming about for a couple of years.

My hubby and I did it all ourselves, no outside help, no big budget. I did the designing, he did the measuring and cutting, I did the caulking and painting, and he put up with me “eye balling” how I wanted things to be.

All with many, many trips to Home Depot of course.

Aesthetic kitchen finds from Amazon? Yes, please! I’ve had these knives for a couple weeks now and I can honestly say that they are the best knives I’ve ever used! They even come with a built in sharpener on the Ashwood knife block.

Time to get rid of the mismatched or loose dull knives cluttering your kitchen drawers and get a cohesive set!

High quality stainless steel and corrosion resistant. My biggest tip is to always dry them right away after washing.

Did I mention the knife set is currently on sale and under $120?!

Comment “shop” and I’ll send you the links to the knife set and the pretty gold measuring cups and spoons.

Ever since we finished our kitchen renovation, I’ve had requests to see the whole thing. (So…not just my favorite corner? Lol!) This video was super spontaneous. I didn’t even hide away my paper towels! Gasp!
In all honesty, I love the way it feels in here now. No longer stark white and boring builder grade. She has character now!
.
I’ll link what I can on my LTK, including the pendant lights that I get asked about all the time.
.
Cabinet, shelves, island and vent hood paint color is Sherwin Williams, Shiitake.
The backsplash paneling is painted Behr, Shoelace.
The white oak floating shelves are from @ultra_shelf in the finish Umber Gray.
We custom built the shelves with the oak paneling in the back.
We also custom built the vent hood.

Sharing my favorite quick and easy, protein packed breakfast. It has 32 grams of protein total! 30 from the yogurt, 1 from the banana and 1 from the blackberries.
.
Just add these ingredients to a bowl and enjoy:
.
1.5 cup Good & Gather Vanilla Greek Nonfat Yogurt
1 banana
1/2 cup blackberries
Cinnamon (however much you like)
Organic raw & unfiltered honey (I like Good & Gather from Target)
.
Save for reference!
.
Let me know if you try it, and if you love it as much as I do.

These Amazon curtains were a game changer for our living room/dining room area. I’m sure you’ve heard of @twopagescurtains by now, but I’m here to tell you that they are worth the hype! More than I’d usually spend, but worth it for the difference they make!
They’re from Amazon and you can customize everything about them. Color, lining, width, length, etc.
.
Comment “LINKS” and I’ll send you all the details on mine, including the brass curtain rods and rings I used.

You’re my people and I love you!

You can find these Amazon spice jars and labels linked on my LTK! Just tap the link in my bio and choose “shop liketoknowit”.

Comment AMAZON and I’ll send you the link to these cute spice jars. They actually come with the pretty labels! 🙌🏻
.
Who’s ready to organize their spices in 2024?!
.
P.S. You don’t need to use these in a drawer. Put them on kitchen open shelving, or in a cabinet near where you cook.

Comment RUG for the link! It’s currently 58% off, in stock and ready to ship!
.
This rug has been so amazing in this high traffic area by the kitchen sink. The colors and pattern hide all the crumbs and spills, it’s super easy to vacuum, the price is amazing, and it’s just gorgeous!
.
I have the 2’7” x 7’3” rectangular runner size.
.
(This video was taken before I painted our cabinets, and I love this rug even more now with the mushroom color cabinets)

Had to do a little end of year recap for woodsandivory. Other than our huge kitchen renovation, I feel like 2023 will be remembered as the year I painted all the things Shiitake by Sherwin Williams. I also found so many great neutral rugs this year!
.
Happy New Year, Insta fam! Thank you so much for for following along! 🫶🏻

A little kitchen shelf reset. 🫶🏻
.
All the Christmas decor has been put away. All except the tree, which is staying up until New Year’s Day. I did take all the ornaments off, but I’m still enjoying the lights.
.
I’m usually a take it down asap kind of gal, but not this year. How about you? 🌲

Happy Christmas Eve! I hope it’s merry and bright and you’re surrounded by the people you love. 🫶🏻🌲

These floating shelves were the perfect way to finish our kitchen renovation! I had seen @ultra_shelf tagged in countless beautiful kitchens here on Instagram and knew they would give this space that open feeling I was going for when we took down the upper cabinets.
.
They are so sturdy and well made, easy to install (they slide onto a bracket that’s hidden inside the shelf) and the finish is gorgeous.
.
You can get them custom made to fit your space and style with many stain/finish options.
.
Here are the details on mine:

White Oak Umber Gray finish
.
30” length
.
12” depth
.
1.75” thickness
.
We spaced them 17” apart and 20” above the countertop.

It’s the year of the velvet ribbon bow, and I’m here for it.

You guys…this diffuser is amazing and it’s only $21 on Amazon! Look at how pretty that output is! I fill it in the morning and it runs ALL DAY! I’m a Young Living girl, but use any essential oils you like.
.
I have a second one that I use as a humidifier in our bedroom. Runs all night and so much easier to clean than a big humidifier.
.
Comment AMAZON and I’ll send you the link or find it on my LTK page!
.
It comes with a remote and a bunch of light options, but I like it with no light like this.

…thanks to a little paint, some oak panels, a vision and a handy husband.
.
Not gonna lie, it was a little scary at the start. The day we took down the upper cabinets and old backsplash, I’d wondered what I was getting myself into.
.
Still waiting on some custom floating shelves from @ultra_shelf for the other wall. I’ll definitely share once it’s complete!
.
You can find all the details on this project in my “kitchen reno” highlight. 👆🏻

3 tips for a cohesive look under the tree…
.
1. Stick to 3 or less styles of wrapping paper.
.
2. Stick to 3 or less colors of ribbon.
.
3. Put tags on the back of presents for a cleaner look.

I’d link the wrapping paper I used this year, but they’re either old or I found them at HomeGoods. (Story of my life). I will link the brown velvet ribbon I got on Amazon. It comes in a huge spool and would be so pretty on wreaths or tied as bows on the tree. You can find the link on my LTK.
