The Dream is Free, The Hustle Sold Separately

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 ...

Felt Succulent Wall Planter

by

GUYS, I almost never do this, but I asked a friend of mine if she would want to guest post here on Reality Daydream. She has THE CUTEST Etsy Shop and makes darling felt flowers for little girls' headbands and home decor pieces. And I knew you guys would love it as much as I do! Isn't Samantha's little daughter (pictured above) the cutest little model? I just want to squeeze her! TAKE IT ... [ Read More ]

Bunk Bed Curtains

by

If your kids have bunk beds, then you can be mom-of-the-year by sewing them some bunk bed curtains using our tutorial! Minimal sewing skills required! I may do a 'room reveal' here on mah blog, but that doesn't REALLY mean that the room is done. You know? I'm constantly tweaking and having new ideas! Nothing is safe... even when it's already been checked off my subconscious 'room-list'. ... [ Read More ]

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 ]

Wooden Scroll Saw Logo Sign

by

Recently, one of my dear friends started a business selling beautiful, handmade children's clothing and hand-picked antiques. She calls it Wild Petunia, and I love everything about it. I'm obsessed with her logo of wildflowers (which she hand-drew herself!), and I wanted to show my support and excitement for her new business, so I decided to make a sign for her with her logo and business ...

Cleaning Closet Organization

by

One thing I've noticed about myself through this renovation, is that I NEED to have places in my house that are extremely neat and organized... to give myself some sense of control in the midst of absolute chaos. Even if it's the girls' bedroom or little nooks here and there. Mandatory. So when I was chatting with my friends at National Hardware about the Marie Kondo craze and all things ... [ Read More ]

Stained Art on Wooden Box

by

I've been itching to do another stained art piece using my Shading with Stain Technique. If you haven't tried it yet, I'm warning you it's addictive! I get emails all the time from readers sharing their work, and I'm BLOWN AWAY by the talent. Some of you are putting me to shame! If you've been itching to try this technique for yourself, you can either check out my ... [ 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 ]

Snow Candles

by

I have fond memories of making snow candles as a kid, and I've been hoarding (gathering from yard sales and thrift stores) candles to melt down to do this project with the kiddos! You can also use paraffin wax for this, and you can also tint the colors of your candles by adding broken crayons! But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Here's what you need Snow day (bored kids) and ... [ Read More ]
