DIY Wine and Stemware Rack Tutorial

by

Great News! I have a really fun DIY gift idea to share today. Just in time for the holidays! I actually shared this Wine and Stemware Rack tutorial a few years ago, but it was a little too close to Christmas for anyone to actually make it as a homemade Christmas gift. So I'm re-sharing it now so you can add it to your list of DIY Gift ideas this year! This entire design came out of my head… and I ... [ Read More ]

DIY Weekly Meal Planning MENU BOARD!

by

Make meal planning easy and FUN with this DIY Chalkboard Menu Board! It's simple to make, and only takes minimal DIY skills!  So we’ve talked about menu planning (or lack thereof CAN I GET AN AMEN) here at Reality Daydream on several occasions. You know I’m not a planning-type, but I do love a good list. And that’s why THIS METHOD works sooooo good for me and the fam. We rock this method. And I ... [ Read More ]

Fixing/filling damaged trim and millwork

by

The solarioum is one of TWO rooms that I consider 'done' in this house. *This post is sponsored by Mohawk Finishes. Thank you for supporting the fabulous brands that make Reality Daydream possible! This post contains affiliate links. * So when our boy Reuben took it upon himself to chew on the woodwork in this room, I was beyond upset! In his defense, we closed him into that room ...

DIY Plywood Quote Artwork

by

I love that plywood is so inexpensive, yet often has some AMAZING wood grain. I also love that it's having a moment in design... 1/2/3/4 See? Classy! And so readily available at your local home improvement store! In fact, we put up a geometric plywood accent wall in our old house, and I'm still obsessed with how it turned out AND I MISS IT OK? The project I'm sharing today is one I did several ... [ Read More ]

Make your own Grimm’s Rainbow

by

I've silently drooled over the wooden Grimm's Rainbow toys for years. There's just something about wooden toys that just feels so organic and RIGHT. Pair that with vibrant colors and curves, and I'm so far gone. If you're not familiar, or don't understand the draw, click here to see some of the fun things you can do with this ... [ Read More ]

Modern Circle Shelf Tutorial

by

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 ]

Triple IKEA Rast Hack

by

I'm finding that when our shop is a hot mess, it makes us dread (and therefore put off) any projects that require us to be in there. This was also the case at the old house, but at least then all we needed to do was go clean it. Our current shop situation is that only half of our tools are unpacked, there's no work bench, things are strewn all over the room with absolutely no measure of ... [ Read More ]

Turned Root Tumbler

by

If you've followed our kitchen build closely, then you might remember that we had an ENORMOUS pine tree taken down in the backyard in preparation to dig the foundation for the kitchen. Also, it was insanely close to our house, and a miracle that the roots weren't pushing against the foundation of the existing house. So it came down. Timberrrrrr! Our friend George Vondriska saw ...

This Rainbow Art is LIT

by

Y'all, the design process is in FULL SWING for the girls' new room at the new house! With all the chaos happening there, and the shuffling back and forth between two houses, it will be so nice for the kiddos to have a dedicated space that's clean, organized, and DARLING. I can't share details with you quite yet, but I'm going to share one component with you today. Are you pumped? *This post is ... [ Read More ]
