Mudroom Reveal!

by

I love you guys for following along on this mudroom saga, and it's finally time to share the reveal! But before I do that, let's take a little walk down memory lane. When we added on the addition, this mudroom was added to attach the kitchen to the garage. Living in a state that has severe winters, this has been such a blessing to not have to go outside to get to the car. But also, mudrooms ... [ Read More ]

by

Paisley has been having so much fun dreaming up her new bedroom space. And since she finished with the picture frame molding, she's ready to move on to the next thing!

We're going to wallpaper first, and then get some paint samples ... [ Read More ]

Alternative to TV above Fireplace

by

I think what goes above the fireplace is a pretty common spousal disagreement. In our house, I wanted art or a mirror above the fireplace, and felt that the TV shouldn't be a 'focal point'. But hubby wanted a TV above the fireplace because it's the most central location and makes the most sense based on the most logical furniture/sofa arrangement. I could see his viewpoint, but also there has ... [ Read More ]

Easy Hanging Planter Tutorial

I was cruising Hob Lob as usual, and these wooden bead hoops jumped out at me! They're meant to be blank wreath forms to be embellished and hung on the front door, but my mind always goes to: HOW CAN I USE THIS FOR MY PLANTS? And right next to it was this metal circle... and the light bulbs in my head were in full strobe light fashion. Here are my supplies: Supplies for Wooden Bead Hoop ... [ Read More ]

Colored Pencil Holder

by

A couple weeks ago, I was lamenting in my Instagram Stories about how cute and ridiculously expensive this wooden colored pencil holder from Amazon is. I put up a poll asking my peeps if they thought I could make this myself, and while the overwhelming majority voted yes, that 1% that didn't believe in me felt like a challenge. *This post contains affiliate links!* I don't have a choice, ...

Floral Stained End Table

by

I was out yard-saling with my sister in law, and I came upon this wooden oak end table. It is so basic, and I've seen these a million times. Golden oak from the 90's, but well made and so sturdy! I paid the lady $5 bucks, and brought her home. This will be the perfect blank slate for some floral stained art! *This post contains affiliate links.* View this post on ... [ Read More ]

Of course this area has already come so far ... [ Read More ]
