Do-it-yourself projects and Home Decor
After being cooped up in the house this spring due to the pandemic, I started to get the itch to makeover something. I decided to refresh the bathroom. I have slowly morphed the rest of the house by adding in more green and the last space to get the once over was the bathroom. I […]
Thanksgiving might look a bit different this year for some families. I know ours will be smaller. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be festive! Decorate your table and personalize it with these incredibly easy wood burned chargers. Add a few pumpkins, light a smelly candle, and you will be ready for a feast :) […]
Shane has been working from home on and off since mid March. He started out at the kitchen table but that just wasn’t working. He needed a space where he could shut the door and have it be a bit more quiet and private. I had already painted the cabinets green this spring. I decided […]
It’s finally here! After 5 months I can say that we are officially done with the attic fort for our boys. This garage attic makeover began as a way to keep our kids happy and busy during quarantine back in late March. This project took longer to do than I originally thought mostly due to […]
I’m not sure why I have waited so long to share the stairway makeover. I guess it is partly because it was not as dramatic as a room makeover. It is also an awkward area to try and photograph since it is so narrow and steep. But I finally decided to just try. I was […]
I’ve got a bathroom reno coming up and I’m so torn between going neutral or going bold with the tile. Neutral is safe and will last longer without the fear of it going out of style, but the bolder options are just so much fun! Since I went with white in my last bathroom makeover, […]
I love white bedding. It reminds me of going to a nice hotel and the smell of the freshly washed white duvet and sheets. It seems cozy yet luxurious at the same time. The best thing about white bedding is that you can dress it up or make it casual. You can add color or […]
Like all of you, I have been staying home a lot lately. Most of the time actually. It has given me a chance to finish some small projects that kept getting pushed aside for “later”. Quarantine must be Latin for “later” because I’m crossing things off my list like crazy ;) One of the things […]
I love a good to-do list. I function on a daily basis because of them. I am so unorganized and I kind of fly by the seat of my pants most of the time so having some sort of list helps keep me going in the right direction. Plus it is pretty satisfying to be […]
I blame in on the time of year and all the sickness that has been making the rounds, but I was looking around at our house and feeling discouraged at all that we still need to get done. Especially our basement. To me, progress equals success. As I sat down to prepare to write this […]
I having been doing holiday projects galore and doing photoshoot after photoshoot. I will be sharing some of these fun projects later this week and into the next, but for the meantime, I thought I would share some of my favorite examples of a new up and coming trend… Cane Furniture! It is making a […]
I love Fall! Even though it is mid September, because of the weird spring weather, it has delayed the onset of Autumn. The leaves have not started to change color yet. Even up in the mountains the leaves are mostly green. We had to drive to the top of the mountain just to get a […]
I like to make lists. I have a lot of them :) One is of all the projects I want to do. This braided fabric basket has been on my list forever! The kids dragged the fabric tote out the other day and dug through it and I saw this green fabric that matched the […]
It doesn’t matter if you decorate with bright, bold colors or if you are drawn to using neutrals, texture is an important part of a space that often gets over looked. Recently I have seen that wall hangings have become more, and more popular. Here are 20 wall hangings that will add texture to your […]
This project has literally been on my to-do list for 2 years. I kept putting it off because it was a smaller project and not really a need. I also have never sculpted a face and was hesitant to try. Even though I wanted it to be whimsical, and it didn’t need to be anatomically […]
I finally cleaned up my bedroom in the office well enough to photograph it! Before we added our bed to the mix, this room already was hard to keep tidy since it was multi-functional. It was our mudroom, storage room, and my home office. Now we can add bedroom to the mix….. at least temporarily. […]
Mustard, yellow, gold, whatever you chose to call it, I am crushing on this color! I have always loved it and have always had this color somewhere in my home. It is such a happy color and works well with any design style. Here are some of my favorite examples of mustard home decor. Mustard […]
If there was one thing I could change about my house, it would be to somehow add a mudroom. With four boys and a dog, there is a lot of mess involved that could be contained if we had a space for a mudroom. Every time I come across a gorgeous, organized mudroom, I am […]
Phase one of my sister’s basement is pretty close to being done and she will be ready to move things down there soon. Her basement being finished is what sparked all these projects at her house. Today I am sharing her fireplace makeover I finished up this week. Her dining, family room and kitchen are […]
Space saving, multifunctional, or transforming. Whatever you choose to call these pieces of furniture that hide secrets, save space, or are used for more than one thing, I am a huge fan. I live in a cute little house with 5 other people and a dog. We need all the help we can get to […]
