Mid-Century IKEA Side Table Makeover

by

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 ]

by

*This post was sponsored by Wagner. Thank you for supporting the partners that make Reality Daydream possible! This post contains affiliate links* When we bought our house 7 years ago, there wasn’t much in the way of landscaping… let alone a deck or patio area. It took us a few years to make it a priority, but we finally built our rounded pergola and installed the patio. Enjoy this short ... [ Read More ]

Make This: Cross Base Succulent Terrariums

by

Sometimes when I’m wandering about on social media, I’ll find something that inspires me and I’ll save it or screenshot it and put it in my ‘inspiration’ folder on my computer. This particular image was one I snagged from West Elm on their Instagram feed. I loved these succulent terrarium globes! *This post contains affiliate links* Aren’t those gorgeous?! Upon further thought, I decided I ... [ Read More ]

Chocolate Spider Web Cheesecake

by

I’m normally not one to post seasonal projects (let ALONE recipes), but ever since I made this Rainbow Tie-Dye Cake, I’ve had an idea in my mind to use the same technique to make a Spider Web Cheesecake. And I even the presence of mind to pull this off before Halloween hits full-force so you have some time to plan ahead! Because HELLO: *This post contains affiliate links* AND it’s your lucky ...

Twin Toddler Girls’ Room Reveal

by

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 ]

DIY Bracket-Shaped Barn Board Sign

by

Nick and I like to MAKE gifts as often as possible… because it’s cheaper more personal. And well, WE JUST LIKE MAKING STUFF. Geez. So when we get invited to a wedding, I love to make a little something personal for the bride and groom. (Unless I procrastinate, in which case we stop by Target on the way to your wedding and buy a coffee maker and a gift bag. #keepinitreal) This post contains ... [ Read More ]

Clear your schedule…

by

I’ve been quiet, both here on the blog and in real life. After a week of weird symptoms, urgent care, ER visits, and a myriad of tests… we finally have some answers. I’m not sure how dramatic to be about it, because there is a lot of conflicting information out there, but I have Lyme’s Disease. And it totally sucks. I’m have no idea what to expect in the coming weeks, so I don’t know how ... [ Read More ]

Incorporating ‘Live Edge’ Elements Into your own Design Style!

by

Yesterday I was cruising Pinterest and kept coming upon sooooo many awesome ‘Live Edge’ ideas. Apparently we weren’t too far off with the trends when we decided to use one on our breakfast bar. If you’re not familiar with what ‘Live Edge’ means, it’s a slab of rough-cut wood that has one or more edges that are ‘live’ and organically shaped exactly the way they were cut from the trunk or ...

Monster Toss Yard Game

by

Nick and I love to entertain, especially in the summer. We’re pretty casual about it though… no twinkle lights and fancy mixed drinks with beautiful tablescapes. Just us and some wide open space and good conversation. Playing corn hole, ladder golf, or throwing a frisbee are always good outdoor entertainment when we’re barbequing with friends. And we’re always on the lookout for fun ideas that ... [ Read More ]

Rounded Upholstered Boho Headboard

by

I’m pretty excited about things going down in our master bedroom. I’m speaking mostly of the rated-G things… like lighting, wall treatments, and chunky crown molding. We’re a little ways from an actual room reveal, but I’m ready to reveal the headboard. It cost exactly $30 to make. NOTE: I think this headboard would also be great in a kids room! And I included it in a roundup of ideas ... [ Read More ]
