Wood and Mirror Geometric 3D Wall Art

by

You know from this post and this post that we’re huge fans of wood art and making wood LOOK like 3D wall art! Nick had a brilliant idea to make a patterned ‘3D-illusion’ art that incorporates pieces of MIRROR! We were having so much fun making this piece that we decided to invite some buildy-blogger (and YouTuber!) friends to join in! We challenged them to create a piece of art with only two ...

Brilliantly Creative DIY Cake Stands

by

I think it’s safe to say that DIY Cake Stands are the BEST because there’s such instant gratification (for the most part). Typically it’s not a long drawn-out process like a furniture build or painting trim in a sunroom. And often you can find the parts you need for a DIY Cake Stand (or cupcake stand!) at a thrift store or flea market! I’ve gathered up a TON of ideas for inspiring DIY Cake ... [ Read More ]

Just DO the thing

by

I’ve noticed something about myself, and I have a sneaking suspicion I’m not the only one that struggles with this.Are you ready for my big confession?Sometimes I start projects and DON’T FINISH THEM.Or I put off even starting projects that I know need to be done.Nick is the same way. So we’ve been troubleshooting ways to help us identify WHY, and just get the thing DONE already. We’ve noticed ... [ Read More ]

The next chapter…

by

My parents have lived in the same house for 40 years. As a child, I had the same bedroom from the day I was born until the day I graduated high school. Something about all that constancy made me lose my junk after graduating, and I moved around A LOT. Over the course of 7 years, I lived in 6 states, attended college in 4 different time-zones, and lived in 18 different apartments. I was just ... [ Read More ]

Decor Faves from Wayfair

by

Even though we love to roll up our sleeves and have designed/DIY’d most of the projects in our Family Room Attic space, we love the concept of having a combination of ‘made’ and ‘purchased’ pieces to truly create the vibe we’re going for.  I was so excited when Wayfair wanted to partner with me on this Attic Family Room space. This post is sponsored by Wayfair. Thank you for supporting the ... [ Read More ]

Vintage Bar Cart Makeover

by

My dad just informed me that it’s not called a vintage bar cart …it’s a metal rolling utility cart. Isn’t that precious? Those baby boomers.   It’s been a little over a year since both of my Grandma’s passed away, 3 weeks apart. It was a tough month for sure. And since then, I’ve been loving have some of my Grannies’ things around my house that bring me joy and remind me of them. One ... [ Read More ]

Upholstered Headboard Ideas for Kids!

by

We’re no strangers to DIY headboards, or even upholstered headboards specifically! In fact, these are some of our most popular posts! (I’ll share them below) When we finished the twins’ big girl room, complete with the upholstered headboard for kids in the form of a Fainting Couch Toddler Bed, our girls must have gotten used to the softness because now they’re asking for a soft/cushy upholstered ...

As you know, we’ve been making some headway in our attic family room. It’s come soooooo far! Remember when it looked like THIS?! WOOF, that pistachio green and poop-brown couch has me breaking out in hives. You can scroll back through the various projects we’ve done in the attic to see the progression to what it is now. We’re so happy with how it’s coming along! Part of the struggle ... [ Read More ]
