I’m a pretty open book and can’t wait to show you my latest updates, outfits, recipes, etc. To know more about me, check out the “about me” page.

This weekend consisted of multiple 100 degree car rides to Home Depot, staring at a ceiling for 9 hours straight, and covering the garage in PVC dust. I live for weekends like these. Thanks @cdf5023 for knowing my ideas are crazy but still saying yes. You’re going to be the best dad ever. #buildingdreams #buildersofig #1957chevy

Heading out the door for some Memorial Day fun but not before one final glance at this ceiling 😍 it’s coming together slowly but surely. I would be lying if I didn’t say this was super challenging but I would do it again for these results! We only got 2/6 rolls hung but hey... it’s progress! I couldn’t be more thankful for my sweet friend @sarakat_johnson helping me hang this. For more details (and struggles lol) check out my blog for the One Room Challenge Week 4 update at Kayllie.com.

Week 3 of the One Room Challenge blog post is up!

Week 3 of the One Room Challenge blog post is up! Floating is pretty time consuming (yes Cody told me so) but sometimes time is spent on something without a big visual impact and that’s how projects go. So this weeks post consists of a floating update and design selections such as the curtains, hanging chair, crib, rug, and dresser. And in other news, a sample piece of @spoonflower wallpaper arrived! Now I’m just waiting on the other 143 square feet to get here so we can start to get this show on the road! Any day now Mr. Mail man. @betterhomesandgardens @oneroomchallenge #bhgorc #oneroomchallenge #peelandstickwallpaper #wallpaperceiling #colorfulinterior #buildersofinstagram

How it looks taking a “cute” selfie during @on

How it looks taking a “cute” selfie during @oneroomchallenge 🙃 It’s not always about the completed look (although my pregnant nesting self can’t wait) But it’s about having fun and spending time together along the way. So lucky to have @cdf5023 by my side for all of life’s challenges, even the ones I signed us up for 😝 #diy #homerenovation #buildersofinsta #diyprojects

Pre-pregnancy thoughts: I don’t need to buy mate

Pre-pregnancy thoughts: I don’t need to buy maternity clothes. I’ll wear what I have and save money.
Pregnancy: nothing fits right, I’m rewearing the same 4 dresses everyday, I’m doing my work outs in my PJs.
•
I decided it was time to begin looking for a few staple pieces to get me through this pregnancy. I talked with my sister-in-law and she recommended @kindredbravely for some quality staple pieces. Okay so y’all know I’m a new blogger so I was sooo nervous when I reached out to them and asked if they’d like to collaborate with me on a maternity staples blog post... and y’all, they said yes! They’re offering me a 20% off code to share “Kayllie20” 🙌🏼 You can check out my blog for a full run-down of these 5 items, or for a quick description check out the thoughts below:
1- I’ve already worn this ribbed bamboo dress too many times to count! It’s crazy how having a dress that’s made for maternity can give such a good fit and confidence.
2- This ribbed bamboo midi skirt is easy to dress up or down. I love it with a knotted tee or tank to show off the 🤰
3- maternity leggings! Don’t knock em until you try em is my new motto here. I was skeptical on having all of this fabric over the bump but omg the support and comfort is amazing. I now know why these are a thing.
4- maternity biker shorts. Similar to the leggings, the support and comfort for the bump is perfect for workouts or just hanging out.
5- ribbed bamboo tank top. Tops have been one of the hardest things for me to wear because everything seems to fit funky over the bump. Having a top that’s actually made for the bump= gamechanger.

I like to call this studio lighting 😝 Our first

I like to call this studio lighting 😝 Our first week of working on the nursery for @oneroomchallenge has come and gone (so quickly!) Our plan for the week was simply to float the ceiling! Sounds simple right?! But it was such a big undertaking! If you remember the design plans I shared, I am really wanting a wallpapered ceiling! Since our ceiling is very textured, we needed to cover this texture so the wallpaper will go on smoothly. This is probably the messiest part of the room revamp and since the ceiling (obviously) is over ever other part of the room, we needed to knock it out first. Check out my blog, Kayllie.com, for a full run-down of the process from skim coating to sanding... or as I like to call it, the great white dust storm!

Y’ALL! We are guest participants in the One Room

Y’ALL! We are guest participants in the One Room Challenge!! The timing couldn’t have worked out better than it does right now; it’s like it was meant to be! We have been wanting to convert our guest bedroom into a nursery for our baby girl due in September so this challenge gives us the perfect timeline and encouragement!
•
For those of you who aren’t aware, @oneroomchallenge is a challenge put on twice a year by @betterhomesandgardens to transform ONE room in your home in an 8 week period. What better way to work alongside other DIYers, bloggers, designers, etc and to support and encourage one another, not only for these 8 weeks but hopefully to create a long lasting relationships.

Check out our design plans on the blog, Kayllie.com and be sure to click the link to ORC to check out the other participants plans as well! Cheers to a fun & challenging next 8 weeks 🤗 #orc #oneroomchallenge #bhgorc #diy #nursery #girlnursery #babygirlnursery

Baby is half baked! Just like my favorite Ben&Jerr

Baby is half baked! Just like my favorite Ben&Jerrys 🤗 cheers to 20 weeks! We can now feel baby girl move every now and again, the bump is more pronounced, and my app says she’s the size of a banana- weird comparison but still cool. I have an anatomy scan this week and cody is allowed to come along! Im very excited! http://liketk.it/3dPWn #liketkit @liketoknow.it

We built this! Not pictured, Cody, the real talent

We built this! Not pictured, Cody, the real talent of the project, but Zoe said she’d fill in for him. We started with a pin I found from @arinsolange and edited it to make the table work for us. It was the center of the crawfish action this weekend and I’m so happy with how it turned out. So many people asked where we got the steel hardware for the base. Nope all 2x4’s and the power of paint! I always believe in giving credit where credit is due, so check out @arinsolange blog for all the details! ... PS- I spy a baby bump that decided to make an appearance this weekend 🤰

IT’S A GIRL 🎀

The easiest Easter bunny cake you ever did see! Th

The easiest Easter bunny cake you ever did see! Throwing it back to last year when I made this bunny cake by baking two round cakes and cut one in half for the ears. To check out the full “how-to” check out my IG highlight!

The bluebonnets made it through the freeze 🙌🏼 Spring is my favorite season. The days get longer, the world gets more colorful, there’s new life (like this itty bitty bump!) And I may be biased but it’s a little more pretty in Texas ❤️

Dog whisperer or just the closest to the fire? Weird times but I’m feeling so thankful and blessed right now as I know so many people have it worse. We have two more nights below freezing, which is probably laughable to any northerners but Texas just wasn’t made for this. Our state’s power grid failed, water districts lines broke, and transportation (like restocking grocery stores) hasn’t been possible, and cell phone service has been non existent. Not to mention the thousands of homes that have been flooded due to broken pipes. Two. More. Nights. We got this Texas 💪#snowpocalypse2021

Happy Valentine’s Day to my best friend! Love you @cdf5023 😘 this picture was taken at our rehearsal dinner and I can’t even imagine wearing a dress right now it’s so darn cold. But here’s to weathering all the storms together... even icepocalypse in the wetlands 🥶 🐊

Two things making this day special: 1- my best friend sent me Chick-fil-A for lunch... just because. And 2- this squish face. I wanted to take a photo in this valentine sweater for my blog post but this picture is better. As my cup reads, “you’re the best part of today” ❤️ #belkstyle #crownandivy #crownandivystyle #belk #valentineoutfit #valentinesweater
