A cabinet for the mudroom

September 27, 2024 by Bethany Sy

It's hard to believe this room could get even better after building those arched mudroom lockers, but it's about to! We have this blank space to the left of the lockers that we desperately need for storage. Think off-season items, and a place to put things that need to be returned to the store. It would also be nice to have a location to put things that need to be taken to donation. Let's see what ... [ Read More ]

Mudroom Reveal!

June 27, 2024 by Bethany Sy

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 ]

And once we had these arched mudroom lockers sketched out, we couldn't WAIT to get started building! It's hard to tell in the sketch, but the arched mudroom lockers are actually going to wrap around the corner of ... [ Read More ]

Mudroom Reno – Planning and Inspo

March 7, 2024 by Bethany Sy

Sometimes I assume everyone is following along on our home renovations over on Instagram (@RealityDaydream), but I need to do better about sharing our progress here on the blog too! Ever since we connected our house to our garage via a 'mudroom', it has sat unfinished. Concrete floors, unpainted drywall. But that's all changing!! This is about to be a functional mudroom! As you can see, at ... [ Read More ]

Mudroom Cubbies ~ Storage for hats & mittens

January 5, 2015 by Bethany Sy

Hey buddies! Long time no talkie! I wasn’t planning on taking a full-on blogging vacay, but it turned out that way when I was stricken with bronchitis and strep just in time for Christmas. Miraculously, Nick and the girls didn’t get sick at all, and they did a great job of taking care of me. The girls love to play Dr, so they were covering me in a million blankets, taking my temperature, and ... [ Read More ]

Phew! What a busy weekend! You too? Nick and I have been working away on our respective projects. He in the bathroom/laundry room (update coming later this week!) and I in the kitchen.

How to Paint your Door to look like Wood

April 22, 2024 by Bethany Sy

Cover image for post about how to make any old door look like real wood

If you've been following along on our Mudroom Makeover adventure, you know that we built these beautiful arched mudroom lockers, and are getting ready to wallpaper and add brick flooring! But as I stand back looking at the situation, I can't help but hate the black metal doors. I desperately wish they were wood! This room needs more warm wood elements, but we can't afford to replace these two ... [ Read More ]

How to Age Unlacquered Brass

March 11, 2024 by Bethany Sy

When we think of brass, we think of shiny gold, right? But do you know what unlacquered brass is? Unlacquered brass is simply brass that doesn't have a protective coating. This means that, over time, unlacquered brass will naturally patina and tarnish to be beautifully aged. We love that! Today I'm going to show you an easy technique that speeds up that aging process of your unlacquered brass ... [ Read More ]

Kids Closet Storage Ideas

March 15, 2021 by Bethany Sy

When the twins moved into what used to be the guest bedroom, I knew I had to deal with the closet situation. Even if it wasn't filled with random photography equipment, old prom dresses from 20 years ago, and boxes of memories, this closet still isn't suitable to be a kids closet with all the storage needs that they have. Cringey, right? Se started out by removing all the shelves on the ... [ Read More ]
