Do-it-yourself projects and Home Decor
This post is from a few years ago but since I get asked about our chickens a lot, and because it is that time of year when baby chicks are showing up in feed stores, I thought we should revisit this topic. We love raising backyard chickens! We have since added a couple of bunnies […]
This post is sponsored by HomeRight but all ideas and opinions are 100% my own :) Today is the day! I am finally sharing my sister’s kitchen makeover. I have painted serval kitchens before and my own twice. This was the biggest kitchen I have ever painted and it took a little longer than I […]
This post is sponsored by HomeRight but all ideas and opinions are my own. Ever since I took the plunge and painted my interior doors navy about 4 years ago, I have loved having non-white doors! Maybe it is because it is winter or maybe it is the 4 year itch (hey, that could be a […]
This post is sponsored by HomeRight. All ideas, opinions, and projects are all my own. I have been slowly helping my sister transform her new house over the last year. We have tackle a few rooms and a few small projects. This dated oak dresser that was in her bedroom didn’t match anything else. It […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
I love this series so much! I look forward to it every month. And you are in for a treat because this month I have Kelli from Lolly Jane and Kelly from Live Laugh Rowe! They are amazing. In case you are new, the idea behind Styled X3 is that I buy three of the same […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
My family room is almost done! I’ve dipped my hand into too many other projects so it has crept slowly along. But finally having it all painted makes me want to speed it up! This little guy is my painting BFF. He is my right hand man whenever I have doors, molding, baseboards, or furniture to paint. […]
I have a giveaway for a $200 Home Depot gift card at the end of the post sponsored by The Home Depot so make sure and read the whole post! I posted about my love of Turkish rugs awhile ago and how there was a runner I was obsessed over, but that I didn’t need […]
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 […]
