REMODELING YOUR HOME WITH PINTREST


Home remodeling and redesigning parts of your home can be tricky. Luckily, we have apps like Pintrest to help us along the way! Pintrest is a great tool to find new ideas. You can easily browse through the app and find different ways of remodeling home and even narrow it down to what style you are trying to achieve.

Jordan and I started to remodel an old farmhouse, that use to be my grandparents, about a year ago. We are almost completely finished with the downstairs, but still have most of the upstairs to finish up. When looking for new ideas I often turn to Pintrest to find something that I like, and I feel like I can do. One of the main things I found out while using my Pins as a guide to my next project, is that as hard as you try you can never make your project look exactly like your pin.  This is not necessarily a bad thing though, sometimes it turns out even better than what you had hoped and strikingly unique!

Pintrest Idea
Jordan and I's Island
Jordan and I's Island


When Jordan and I were remodeling our kitchen, we ended up with and extra bottom cabinet, and we knew that we wanted to make an island, so we went to Pintrest to find a way to incorporate it. The picture above is what our inspiration came from. We loved how the barn door looked, especially since we have an old farmhouse. We also really like the wood countertop on it as well. You can see what our island turned out like above. We still incorporated the barn door into our design, along with the butcher block as the countertop. We went with gray, since the rest of our kitchen is that color, nut we added a little shiplap to the backside to give it some character. Jordan and I were both really pleased with how it turned out!

If you are looking to start a project, from a pin on Pintrest, keep in mind that your project can look different and still look good. You can easily become frustrated if your focus to much on making something look exactly like a pin. Instead, work with what you have and give your project something different!

    I love Pinterest. I use it for so many things. I definitely think Pinterest is a great way to get organized and I will be using when I get a house to decorate. I also plan on using it for wedding planning somewhere down the line, as I already have multiple Pinterest boards for it!

MY FAVORITE COOKIE RECIPE

I have been doing a lot of baking lately and thought I would share my favorite cookie recipe! There are so many cookie recipes it can be hard to find one that you will like. I love the classic chewy chocolate chip cookies, but my all-time favorite cookie is a monster cookie. I was always so excited when my mom would make these for me when I was little. What also is great about this recipe is that it does not require any flour, so they are gluten-free! MONSTER COOKIES Start to finish: 30 minutes Total: 3 dozen cookies Ingredients: 3 eggs 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 12-ounce jar creamy peanut butter 1 stick butter, softened 1/2 cup multi-colored chocolate candies 1/2 cup chocolate chips 2 teaspoons baking soda 4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant) Directions First you want to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a cookie sheet with non...

5K Training

I thought I would give you guys a little update on how Paige and I have progressed in our 5K training. We have reached week five in our training. We have been running consistently five days a week for five weeks! I did not realize how quickly our training would go by. We are now only 11 days away from running our own 5K! Paige and I have made it to 2.5 miles without stopping, which may not seem far, but it feels like a great accomplishment for us! We are a little over a half-mile away from our goal of doing a 5K. We plan on reaching our goal by the end of this week! Keeping motivated to run has been difficult some days. It is easy to make excuses of why not to run like it’s too cold or raining, so I thought I would tell you a few ways I stay motivated. The first way Paige and I stay motivated is by holding each other accountable. Paige and I find it best that we run together so we continue to keep up with our training. Plus, we get to get out of the house when we run! We ...

HOW TO MAKE BUFFALO CHICKEN PASTA BAKE

I have two questions for you! Are you struggling to find something to make? Do you love buffalo chicken dip? If you answered yes to these questions, then I have the perfect recipe for you to try at home! Buffalo Chicken Pasta Bake is great for all sizes of families because you can easily modify the recipe. Another reason I love this recipe, is because it uses ingredients that are almost always in your kitchen. It only takes 30 minutes to make, so it is a quick and easy recipe to make, that everyone will love.   Another perk of this recipe is that you can easily make it gluten-free by using gluten-free pasta and ranch dressing. I used canned chicken because of how convenient it is, but you can also use left over chicken or rotisserie chicken! Buffalo Chicken Pasta Bake Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 8 Ingredients 12 ounces of pasta of choice, normally 1 box (I use rotini pasta) One 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened ¾ cup of ranch dress...
