Storage Baskets on a Ladder in Three Tiers

by

I’m a sucker for unique and space-saving organization, so the idea of storing things vertically just makes sense! I’ve been thinking about different ideas for storing games, blocks and toys in our living room that would be inconspicuous yet allow the children to easily access them. And these storage baskets are what we came up with! After making this, I’m realizing that there are SO MANY ... [ Read More ]

Solarium Updates and Article Sofa Review

by

We’re making progress on the ‘new’ house! And I’m planning a big update post soon. But for those of you that missed our Facebook Live, I recorded a second house tour video in a horizontal format that’s easier to view on YouTube. Even if you saw our Facebook LIVE, you’ll see that we made some ‘progress’ (read: destruction) in the kitchen! *This post is sponsored by Article. Thank you for ... [ Read More ]

Edging and mulching your flowerbed

by

I may have a green thumb for my indoor plants, but when it comes to my flower garden? Yikes. There are some pretty flowers that come up each year in this garden, but for the most part, it’s just a mass of weeds. And if I’m being honest, it’s not because I don’t have a green thumb for outdoor plants… it’s because I’ve always PRIORITIZED OTHER THINGS in the spring and summer. However! ... [ Read More ]

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 ]
