I love the idea of my girls sharing a room; whispering and giggling into the night. But lately, they've been expressing their desire to have their own space. After further prodding, I realized the real reason was because they wanted a room of their own TO DECORATE. And then it all made sense! After all, as DIY bloggers, we're constantly painting, rearranging, renovating rooms as they look ... [ Read More ]
Kids Closet Storage Ideas
When the twins moved into what used to be the guest bedroom, I knew I had to deal with the closet situation. Even if it wasn't filled with random photography equipment, old prom dresses from 20 years ago, and boxes of memories, this closet still isn't suitable to be a kids closet with all the storage needs that they have. Cringey, right? Se started out by removing all the shelves on the ... [ Read More ]
Modern Circle Shelf Tutorial
This circle shelf project has been in the works for weeks, and I'm so excited to be able to share it with you FINALLY! Whenever we do a video along with our blog post tutorial, it seems to take longer to edit the video than to execute the entire project. *eye roll emoji* But we're getting faster... I think? And it turned out pretty amazing (can I say that?) As you know, we've been slowly ... [ Read More ]
Papasan Chair frame turned Canopy over Bed!
There aren’t many ‘original’ ideas out there these days, but this Papasan-Chair-turned-Little-Girls-Canopy goes down as one of my favorite ORIGINAL ideas… that came straight from the depths of my complex brain. Do you remember how we chopped the papasan frame in half and made this darling ‘Reading Nook’ canopy in the twins’ room? *this post contains affiliate links* And I happen to know that ...

Mid-Century IKEA Side Table Makeover
Join us as we take an IKEA Rast dresser and hit it with an IKEA side table makeover that's perfect to use as bedside tables for the girls' room! It’s no secret that the twins’ bedroom is my all-time favorite room in our entire house. And I’ll admit I was a little sad when the girls out-grew their Fainting Couch Toddler Beds. *This post contains affiliate links* Our twins are extra tall ... [ Read More ]
Twin Toddler Girls’ Room Reveal
With all this unexpected time on my hands, I was cruising my own blog the other day, looking for a certain project I was referencing from The Twins’ Big Girl Room, when I realized that despite sharing dozens of tutorials that make up their room makeover, I never did an actual room reveal… with project links and sources all in one place! So since I’m a little under the weather and don’t have a new ... [ Read More ]
Children’s Chairs {Land of Nod Knock-Off}
Happiest of Fridays to you! Did you awaken feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day? If not, you probably have either a) small children b) Hypothyroidism, or c) you stayed up far too late ...for me, definitely a and b. But nothing a little coffee can’t take care of. Today I’m overjoyed (that’s the coffee talking) to share all the details for how to build these adorable kid’s chairs!! They’re ... [ Read More ]
Butterfly Silhouette Clock
A couple weeks ago, I shared this little corner of the twins’ room that I added some ledge shelves and this children’s Murphy desk that seemed to be a huge hit! Several of you even said you were inspired to build an adult-height version. I’ve been thinking about adding one as a ‘standing desk’ for myself in the studio... we’ll see. Anyway, when I shared this reveal, I promised to eventually ... [ Read More ]
Wall-mounted Secretary Desk for Kids
So if you’ve been following my blog for a bit, you know that we overhauled the twins room and DIY’d pretty much everything in the room (including that stenciled wall and those fainting couch beds!). Naturally, we made our way around the room, giving it our touch. You can see why this is my favorite room in the house. That papasan chair turned canopy? I still hang out in there, ... [ Read More ]
Staining Wood w/ Raspberry Juice (Unique Art!)
Last week, I took a bag of frozen raspberries out of the freezer to thaw. There must have been a hole in the bag, because the next morning there was bright red juice all around the bag. It had even dripped off the edge of the counter and puddled on the floor. At first glance, it looked like a homicide crime scene. I would have taken a picture of it, but WHY WOULD I? It’s not like I was planning ... [ Read More ]
