Vintage Bar Cart Makeover

by

My dad just informed me that it’s not called a vintage bar cart …it’s a metal rolling utility cart. Isn’t that precious? Those baby boomers.   It’s been a little over a year since both of my Grandma’s passed away, 3 weeks apart. It was a tough month for sure. And since then, I’ve been loving have some of my Grannies’ things around my house that bring me joy and remind me of them. One ... [ Read More ]

Leaf-Shaped Modern Nesting Tables

by

Sometimes when I’m out and about shopping with a friend (or my toddler), I’ll see something I love but could TOTALLY make myself. For example, I saw these little tables that are nesting tables shaped like leaves at IKEA! I loved them. But I felt like the price tag was steep… almost laughable. And not only that, I knew I could make them even better. I’m sure you know what happens next. *This ... [ Read More ]

Upcycled Headboard Ideas for Fiestaware Display

One of my besties, Angie, is moving to my town from a couple hours away, and I could NOT be more excited! I wanted to make her a house-warming gift, so I asked her to pick out something on Pinterest for me to DIY for her. She decided on this headboard turned teacup rack as a Fiestaware display for her teacups, and I was up for the challenge! It’s been a minute since I’ve done a good ‘'ol’ upcycled ... [ Read More ]

Valentine’s Scroll Saw Plaque

by

I’ve been teaching Paisley how to use the scroll saw lately. And each time I’m giving her a lesson I draw out a handful of different shapes for her to cut out to practice keeping the blade on the line. One of her favorite shapes to cut out is a HEART, and that got me thinking it would be so fun to share a beginner scroll saw tutorial with hearts for Valentine’s Day! The kids loved watching this ...

We live in a old house with small closets, so I’ve had to learn some tricks for maximizing closet space, containing clutter, and creating unique closet organizer ideas. I’m going to share a few of my own ideas, along ... [ Read More ]

How to Install Chunky Crown Molding

If you’ve been around our blog for the past year or so, you know we recently did a room makeover in our master bedroom! It was long overdue, and now that it’s done I can’t believe we waited so long! It’s one of my favorite rooms in our house! We’ve been getting questions about installing crown molding (or is it spelled ‘moulding’?) to be SO BEEFY and chunky; which is a valid question... because it ... [ Read More ]

How to Build DIY Floating Shelves

by

This past weekend, we were ‘refreshing’ and rearranging DIY floating shelves in our upstairs bathroom, and remembering how bleak and cave-like this area above the toilet once was. Remember this? *this post contains affiliate links* Adding chunky white DIY floating shelves above the toilet was a game changer for this small bathroom’s style AND function. I went back into our blog archives to find ... [ Read More ]
