Home Project // New Art Print from Minted

What is it about purchasing a piece of artwork for your home that makes you feel like you’re finally adulting? At least that’s how Ryan and I felt after hanging our first piece of artwork in our dining room found on Minted. We’ve decorated with personal canvas pictures, DIY artwork that you can see here and here, and created gallery walls in the past. We thought it was finally time to kick it up a notch by displaying an art print.

For the past year I’ve been infatuated with Minted. Maybe you recognize this name, but I urge you to get to know this online marketplace! Minted is an online retailer of independent artists selling their amazing artwork in forms of art prints, home decor, stationary, and all of your wedding needs. Although I got lost in time browsing their abundance of gorgeous pillows, I knew it was time to finally pick out the perfect print for our dining room.

There’s a wall in our dining room that was begging to be decorated with a large piece of artwork. We wanted to make sure that we picked out a piece that we both loved while complimenting the rest of our home. Something light, airy, and not too busy would be the perfect piece. We narrowed down our search results by filtering the size, color, style, and type. Here were a few of our favorites that we went back and forth on:

1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5

We quickly decided on Fractured Horizon 1 by Melanie Severin with a Whitewashed French Farmhouse frame. Minted offers many different framing options for all of their art prints or you can choose to purchase just the print. Why did we pick the one we did? We loved the simplicity of it, the abstract design, and how it has beautiful bluish green hues throughout. Knowing that we were about to receive a gorgeous print designed by a very talented artist gave us all the giddy feelings! I can’t get over how stunning it looks in our dining room.

The day our print arrived was an exciting one! From opening the box to hanging it on the wall, it was all a fun experience. Especially when the inside of the shipment box has the signatures of the various artists found on Minted. I love the details this company puts into the consumer experience. 

This print is certainly a show stopper once people round the corner from our kitchen. For an added bonus, when the evening light pours into our dining room, it allows the gold tones to shine.

Now, go get lost searching for your next piece of artwork for your home on Minted. You’ll certainly create something one of a kind. I would love to see what you pick out! Better yet, let me help you. Just let me know what type of design and color scheme you’re looking for. Here’s one more glance at our newest addition to our home!

The garden is cleaned up, prepped, and ready for t The garden is cleaned up, prepped, and ready for the summer crop. What started as a single garden box has transformed to this garden space over the past few years. Favorite thing about it: being tucked away in this cozy corner with the winding paths throughout it. One thing I would do differently: using pea gravel instead of the granite rocks we went with. These rocks hurt! Pea gravel is smooth enough to comfortably walk barefoot on.
The grass is in! Saying BUH BYE to the dirt around The grass is in! Saying BUH BYE to the dirt around the pool for the first time since December when we broke ground. We spent the past few weeks installing irrigation throughout our backyard and around the pool. Yesterday we finally had the sod delivered and within a few hours it got us one step closer to finishing our backyard oasis. We still have a long ways to go, but my goodness does it feel good to see this part done! And we can finally check off the final inspection for the pool build.
What does it cost to fill a 16,000 gallon pool wit What does it cost to fill a 16,000 gallon pool with a garden hose? Our total came to $229! Does this total surprise you? This of course can greatly vary depending on where you live and your situation. For us, we live in Florida and on county water. We only pay water fees and not sewage. The water company did not give us a discount. We filled the pool right at the start of our billing month so this is it! Have you filled up a pool before? I’d love for you to share your cost, pool size, and location if you feel comfortable doing so!
We have a 16,000 gallon pool and filled it up with We have a 16,000 gallon pool and filled it up with a single water hose. And we for sure had some questions! Answering them here:

• Why not use a water truck? We weren’t in a rush, it was the best way to end this project watching it fill up, and it would have been more expensive. 

• Why not use our local fire station? Our local fire department doesn’t do this and it isn’t very common that most do. We wouldn’t ask if they did. 

• Did our water company give us a discount? Nope. Most water companies will take off the sewage fee but we only pay for water and not sewage where we live. We did notify them so they wouldn’t turn our water off thinking it was a leak. 

• What is that on the end of your hose? We added a filter on the hose to help reduce iron, scale, any other heavy metals and containments to help give our pool a fresh start. 

• How long did it take? 51 hours 

I’ll be sharing the cost soon so make sure to add your guess in the comments!
Pizza nights are back! And one thing we’re addin Pizza nights are back! And one thing we’re adding since our screen enclosure is gone, are these Bitefighter LED String Lights by @tikibrandproducts . You’ve seen us use them in our playset area and now for our patio area. They give us the ambiance we need at night while helping to fight off the mosquitoes as a 2 in 1 solution. There’s no odor, no mess, and they will last all season long. Cheers to the summer nights ahead! #ad #TIKIbrand
Protecting outdoor furniture for the summer!

It’s time to give your outdoor furniture the best start for summer and to help it last long term. Here are some things you can do to protect your outdoor furniture as we enter the summer season:

1. If you have wood furniture, it’s time to seal it! I use Thompson’s Waterseal on all my outdoor wood furniture except for teak. This protects it from moisture, sunshine, and mold/mildew.

2. Easiest way to help keep cushions clean is by spot cleaning throughout the season. I use 30 Seconds Outdoor Cleaner for quick, fresh looking cushions. 

3. To really protect cushions, Shield H2O provides a water repellent treatment that repels moisture and spills, which in return helps prevent mold and mildew. 

4. Have teak furniture? Use a teak SEALER and not an oil. Teak oil is a short term solution and easily washes out with rain. Time to seal it to last long term! 

I have everything I used in my Amazon storefront under outdoor.
We were told 16 weeks for our pool install but it We were told 16 weeks for our pool install but it ended up taking exactly 12 weeks. Broke ground on December 16th and started filling it with water on March 16th. I’m sharing all the pool details over on my blog. Including the answer to the number one question: How much did this cost? Covering how we picked a pool builder, the construction process, the materials we went with and why, what we splurged on and where we saved, and so much more. Save it for future reference! It’s a good one!
We have an outdoor dining space again! It’s some We have an outdoor dining space again! It’s something we have missed the most these past few months while under construction with the pool. I’m such a visual person so being able to walk into @homesense_us and see exactly what we could use to create our outdoor dining space was amazing. There was so much to choose from at a great price point and something for every style. I’m noticing more Homesense Stores opening around the US so check to see if there is one near you! #HomesensePartner #DiscoverHomesense

Here are a few tips for creating an outdoor dining space:

1. Choose a table that fits the space with at least 4 feet around each side. 
2. Plenty of seating. Extra seats if you have the space.
3. Add an option for shade.
4. Select a style + decor that suits you 
5. Use outdoor furniture that’s easy to maintain. 
6. Enjoy your new outdoor space!
Are we lounging poolside or beach side? It’s har Are we lounging poolside or beach side? It’s hard to tell without our sod installed yet but regardless, loving this new addition to the pool area. Just need to find some cute side tables and this part of the pool area is done. Should I go with teak or black ones?  I’ve linked everything on my LTK through the link in my profile!
