Triple IKEA Rast Hack

January 8, 2019 by Bethany Sy

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 ]

Looking Back at 2018

December 29, 2018 by Bethany Sy

Well folks... 2018 was one for the books. Every year, between Christmas and New Years, I set aside some time to look back through a year's worth of blog posts and projects and gather them up in one happy/tidy post. Kind of like a recap of the whole year. In doing so this time around, I was shocked by just how much we squeezed into a single year. Sometimes it feels like we bit off more than ... [ Read More ]

Gradient Misting Painting Technique

August 31, 2018 by Bethany Sy

Squeezing in some small projects and crafty things is my saving grace right now in the midst of the renovation and living between two houses. I recently found the 'unfinished wood' section at my local craft store, and I'M SO INTO IT. Sure, most of those things I could make with my own two hands. But sometimes I don't want to go spend an afternoon turning a candlestick on my lathe, just to turn ... [ Read More ]

Edging and mulching your flowerbed

April 27, 2018 by Bethany Sy

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 ]

Looking back at 2017

December 29, 2017 by Bethany Sy

Well, 2017 has been a crazy year, full of love, family, and precious memories. We’ve been so blessed! Each December as I scroll through the projects from that year, I’m always surprised by how much we got done! It doesn’t seem like we’re THAT busy, because we’re doing what we love… and we’re doing it together. What more could anyone ask for?! As a bit of a recap, I’m going to share the projects ...

Moroccan-Shaped Wooden Sconce Vessels

July 26, 2017 by Bethany Sy

I’ve been staring at my computer for the past 10 minutes trying to figure out what the title of this DIY should be. The shapes of them fit into the Moroccan shaped pattern criteria, and they are definitely sconces. But they can be used so many different ways, so I couldn’t go with ‘vase’ or ‘planter’ or ‘candle’. So VESSEL it is. This post is sponsored by DecoArt. Thank you for supporting the ... [ Read More ]

Patio Refresh + Video!

July 18, 2017 by Bethany Sy

I’ve shared the story how we found / purchased our house, and 8 years later, it’s hard to believe it used to look like this: After a couple years of living here, Nick and I started talking about how nice it would be to have a nice outdoor space for entertaining and just hanging out. We dreamed up a rounded patio with a corresponding rounded pergola, because we like to be complicated and ... [ Read More ]

Whitewashing Furniture – super simple tutorial!

June 9, 2017 by Bethany Sy

Howdy friends What’s hangin? Sometimes, we have a piece of furniture that seems like it needs an update, but we’re not sure what? TELL ME YOU’VE BEEN THERE. This little secretary desk was given to me by my sister-in-law’s parents, and I LOVED IT. But after living with it for awhile, I decided it needed something.
