My name’s Courtenay and I live here in this house….with my husband Chris and these two cute things:.Our house is very (very very) much a work in progress, but I share the whole process here on the blog, so that helps to make all the work we’re doing around here a little more fun.

I also really love to share DIY homekeeping tips and tricks during the loooong breaks we sometimes take in the progress of our renovations.That’s real life though!

No smoke and mirrors around here!.

So let’s get on with the tour!I have this blue-green glass vase that reminds me of beach glass.

I bought it about 7 years ago and it stays in the cupboard until summer every year.I think I love it more every year that I bring it out and it definitely makes me feel like my home is looking its summertime best when I bring it out.

Add in something nautical.You don’t need to live near the beach or own a boat to add a little bit of nautical fun to your home.
