"So what's your vision for this room?"

To fill it. 😅

When we bought this house, the front porch felt empty and forgotten. Over time, we layered in outdoor furniture, planters, lighting, and cozy decor to create a front porch that actually feels welcoming.

If you're looking for front porch decorating ideas, small front porch inspiration, outdoor furniture ideas, or budget-friendly curb appeal upgrades, this before and after is proof that a few thoughtful pieces can completely transform a space.

Our newest upgrade to our old home is the Aqara Thermostat Hub W200

#ad Comment SMART HOUSE and I’ll send you the links 🔗

We bought a 100-year-old house… and now we’re making it smart.

Our newest upgrade is the Thermostat Hub W200 from @aqara.smarthome.official

I can literally: • See my doorbell on the thermostat while I’m cooking • Change the temperature right there • And it adjusts automatically when we leave (paired with Aqara sensor)

Old homes don’t have to feel outdated. You can keep the charm and still make it work for your life.

Would you ever make an old house smart or keep it traditional?

The dining room is finally coming together for the holidays! I've been making little changes each week to make hosting (and life lol) feel easier! This hutch fit this corner perfectly and now everything I need is right here

I wish I did this sooner!!
If you’re stuck with old carpet you can’t rip up yet, try layering an area rug over it.
It instantly warms up the space and makes the carpet way less noticeable.
Such a simple fix but it makes a big difference.

We rented this house for years before buying it, and we’re not ready to rip up the carpet just yet since we’ll eventually be doing a bigger renovation.
But for now, we’re updating this space in small ways to make it feel cozier for the holidays:

– Restained the original table (it was my grandparents’ 🥹)
– Added new chairs (the old ones were falling apart)
– Painted the walls a fresh white — HUGE change
– Swapped in a brighter light fixture
– Put up new blinds
– Added a china cabinet for storage + style

If you’re in that “not-quite-renovating yet” phase too, you can still make your space feel more like you.

This is the exact setup I use to deep fry our Thanksgiving turkey every year! 🦃 The Masterbuilt Electric Turkey Fryer can handle up to a 20lb turkey, cooks it in under 2 hours, and frees up your oven for all those holiday sides.

For best results, use an oil with a high smoke point. I use LouAna Peanut Oil for that golden, crispy skin and rich flavor. Then I season and inject with Tony Chachere’s Creole Butter Marinade and Creole Seasoning for the perfect southern-style turkey.

This combo goes viral every Thanksgiving for a reason.. it’s quick, easy, and the turkey comes out juicy every single time. Everything’s linked below so you can shop my full fryer setup.

May 2025 vs July 2025 ✨
We bought this house from our landlord in May and IMMEDIATELY got to work.

The roof was leaking, shingles flew off in every storm, and the porch? Visibly sinking. For years I rented this place with a Pinterest board full of ideas… and once it was ours, we hit the ground running.

Now the house stays dry and the porch is finally a place we can relax. Even the neighbors have noticed 👀

Next up: epoxying the basement, installing a washer + dryer, and maybe finally connecting the well (if you know, you know 😂

Contractor: Raggio Homes (Camden County, NJ)
