When I was planning out the details for my sons’ room, I was worried that with white walls and black beds (you can see the bed reveals here!) that the room would see too stark. I wanted to do a feature wall to help soften things up. I have loved the look of German schmear […]
New Cabinets Doors!
This post was sponsored by CabinetNow but all ideas and opinions are my own :) When we moved into our home the orange-y cabinets were not my favorite. I painted them an off white and that helped. I did not love the style of the doors but I lived with it because getting all new […]
Gray Paint for Kitchen Cabinets {Help Me Decide!}
I’ve written about the challenge of picking out gray paint before when I painted my down bathroom. It is a tricky color. If it has a blue undertone it can look baby blue on the walls. If it has too red of an undertone it can look purple. Not to mention the green undertones. I […]
6 Hardware Options {Help Me Decide!}
When Shane and I were first married we got an old hand-me-down couch from my aunt and uncle, we bought a very cheap table from K-mart, and I bought some wood crates from the craft store and turned them into an entertainment center. That, and the beag bag I had in high school, were all we […]
My Organized Pantry!
I am so excited to show you the inside of my pantry today! I shared last week how I had repainted it white to match the newly painted upstairs and now I am sharing how I organized it! I really liked the way my pantry looked before. The problem was that the colors (sage green […]
Painting Upholstery
I bought this chair off the online classifieds for my area. It was brand new. The owner got it home and realized it didn’t fit their space like they had hoped. I got it for around $50. I bought it thinking it was white but when Shane brought it home I realized it was in fact tan. […]

Spray Shelter Giveaway!
How many times have you gone to paint something, big or small, and the forecast said 10% chance of rain? Do you chance it? Do you hope it doesn’t really sprinkle? Or what about when it is windy? Painting something and then having the wind pick up is the worst! You get pieces of grass, […]
To Paint or Not To Paint…. Wood Floors
Let’s chat about painted floors. Painted wood floors to be exact. I don’t have to be a mind reader to know that some of you are very against it. Heck, I am against it in a lot of cases. But if you have floors that are not in good shape, if you know you will […]
Checkered Ceiling In Kitchen {Tutorial}
If you have been around a bit then you have probably seen my black and white checkered ceiling in the dining area. I finally got around to doing it in the kitchen area as well. It took a long time because of the extra steps I had to take with re-texturing the ceiling so we […]
Kitchen and Dining room Progress!
Whew! I didn’t necessarily intend to take a break for two weeks, but I suddenly realized that school was nearing for my kids and I wanted to make the most of the last bit of summer vacation. We had days full of snow cones, playing with our new dog, hiking up the canyon, and movies […]

If you are having a drought I have the perfect solution. Invite me over to do an outdoor DIY project. It is bound to pour buckets and buckets of rain as soon as I start. It may even break some records. Like maybe one day it will rain more in two hours than it has all […]
Color Burst Pillow
I have seen so many color burst pillows, rugs, throws and such floating around and I particularly fell in love with the one I saw on SF Girl By Bay. So when ScotchBlue™ asked for me to partner with them in a fun new campaign to showcase pattern, I KNEW this was the perfect first project for […]

Kitchen Makeover Plans! {He Said She Said}
We are gearing up for the kitchen makeover! I am almost done with the dining room area and then I will move all the things in the kitchen over to the dining room so I can retexture and paint the kitchen. It is a slow process since we still need to use both areas while […]

So this just happened….
Once upon a time I wrote a book and it was an all encompassing, crazy, amazing ride that packed a year’s worth of projects into a few months. My house was full of extra furniture from photo shoots and tools were strewn everywhere like chachkies. After I made my deadline (two days early!) I thought […]

I have partnered with 3M DIY to create this project. I have been compensated for my time and efforts but the ideas and opinions are all mine! Remember how when I was in NYC I was challenged by 3M to find something to serve as my inspiration for a DIY project? I chose the picture I took of […]
