Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for t Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for the supplies we used!🔥

When I say this design came to me in a dream I quite literally mean it haha it really came to me in my sleep. I had been thinking about how to make the overmantel work since the stone structure placement kind of made it more difficult.

Putting 2x4s up the wall allowed us to place the shiplap over the top part of the stone and took it out from the wall a little bit. Then Craig built the mantel over the existing stone one - which by the way was the worst mantel that ever existed. It was only about 3 inches deep, it was completely uneven, and it was tilted forward. So basically it was impossible to get anything to really stay on the mantel. Useless lol. Now I have a nice big mantel I can style and put up Christmas decorations and it just looks amazing.

Mantel stain: Minwax Special Walnut

Weekly Workout Schedule + Nike Dri-Fit

Hi everyone! So yeah, the theme for today’s post is ALL BLACK NIKE EVERYTHING! I mean, can you go wrong? NOPE. “For my workouts I like to wear all black…it’s like a funeral for my fat” Ha!  Found that on Pinterest 😉

This Nike tank is so good I am pumped to share it today. Just look at the back of it!! I love tanks that are super functional but also
cute…and ones that show off a good sports bra never hurt!! I just wore my basic black Nike sports bra this time, which I highly
recommend if you are looking for a no-nonsense, tough sports bra. These bras got me through many years and many soccer practices & games so I know they will stand up to any workout. Please keep in mind I can’t speak to how good they are for any of you gals out there with a larger chest area…I wasn’t blessed in that area!! LOL. But I think just based on how they feel to me, they’re not super stretchy so I think they’d be good at keeping everything in place!! But Nike has tons of sports bras just check them out here!

Nike Dri-Fit shorts are my shorts of choice, along with these, when it comes to workouts and running! Seriously that’s pretty much all I own with maybe an exception of one or two other brands. But largely my shorts collection is Nike and Lulu. And acquiring a decent shorts collection is necessary in my book so I’m not doing laundry every dang night! Or let’s be honest, I’m trying to do the least amount of laundry possible so the more shorts the better!! Haha 🙂

The shoes are super light weight and are great for cross-training/circuit training and also for casual wear…I throw them on with jeans or leggings and a cute top for a casual look. They rule the athleisure shoe game for sure!
