Shiplap Bar

Hey Friends, welcome back! We had the beautiful bar in our basement that Devin built when he first moved in, with legitimate barn wood from his Grandma’s house. As rustic and beautiful as it was, we were discussing resale and thought maybe after building the fireplace that if we shiplapped it with nice white shiplap to match the fireplace it might go over better for potential buyers. We then decided to add that to the list of projects we were going to work on in the basement.

Embracing your Space

Buckle in, I feel like this is a long one. I was editing some photos for my Instagram last week and I the thought that I should probably talk a bit more about our house & space and how we have embraced styling our 1200sqft builder grade townhouse AND I KNOW to some that is way bigger than their space and to others that is tiny. Either way, that is what we work with at our house. While this might not be the house we dreamed about living in, we definitely worked hard over the past couple of years to make it darn close, now if only the back yards were fenced, I wouldn’t really want to leave LOL!

DIY Electric Fireplace Reveal

This is probably the most exciting post I have yet to share, because I finally got a fireplace! I am soo over the moon about this! We used a couple different tutorials to get the idea of what we would need to do that I will link below for you to check out. The idea originally came from Brooke at Nesting With Grace, which I have mentioned like 100 times is my fave blogger in the world. Once I realized that its something that could be done I was itching to do one somewhere, it was just a matter of using the space in the most efficient way.

Transitioning from Christmas to Winter Decor

I had some questions on what I do when Christmas is over so I decided to put together a quick little idea of what I do for “winter” decor once Christmas is over! I don’t want the house to feel less cozy after the season of constant warmth, coziness and twinkle lights so I am sharing some ideas of what I use to carry me through the final winter months!

#Girlshowyourface : Get to know me!

I was inspired by the #girlshowyourface hashtag to create this post! Considering my blog is so new, I figured it would be a good post to do a “get to know you” kinda thing! Let me start by saying, taking these photos for this and my “about” section was basically the most awkward expeirence of my life. You can expect to not see new photos of my face on this platform for like 3 years now that they are done LOL!

Going “Live” With the Rocky Way House

HI! I finally got everything for The Rocky Way House set up and live and man let me tell you it was no joke. It took lots of time and effort but I am so happy, I think everything turned out great. Not only that, but I was straight up terrified to share it on my Facebook & socials and really “go live”. Why is putting yourself out there so scary? I am glad its live and that I get to share with everyone because its become a really fun hobby!

Christmas Home Tour

Hi everyone & welcome to the Christmas home tour from The Rocky Way House! YEP, CHRISTMAS! Tis the season, fully upon us! I am notorious for decorating for christmas the second Remembrance Day is over, so as not to let myself down, I followed tradition 🙂 Enjoy some of the fun Christmas decorating that has been done so far and stay tuned into @jamiepuurk for more sharing on my Instagram! Christmas in our little house is my absolute favorite, aside from being able to spend time with family, it just feels so cozy and warm while the snow is blowing outside. I hope by sharing this a bit earlier, you can find some amazing inspiration as you pull everything out for the 2019 holidays!

Master Bedroom Refresh

Hi Everyone, thanks for stopping by today 🙂

I finally feel like I have got to a space in our master bedroom where its become this amazing cozy haven to retreat to! It used to be so boring a drab AND BROWN – O.M.G so much brown lol! I finally got the finished touch this last week, my amazing plant hanger from Bliss Craft & Brazen (linked in shop my home page)! It just really tied the space together! I don’t have to many before pictures because like I said, it used to be kind of BLAH!
