Do-it-yourself projects and Home Decor
Wow. What a crazy few months it has been! Everything seemed to pause, and then shift. So much has happened that I thought it was a good time for an update. Thanks for all the sweet messages asking how we have been doing since this whole pandemic thing exploded. March 13th ended up being my […]
Berries are my FAVORITE fruit. I could eat them all day every day. And there’s nothing better than eating one freshly picked that is warm from the sun. Even if you don’t have a large yard or garden, or even a yard at all, you can grow them thanks to Bushel and Berry®! These easy […]
If you have been following along on my Instagram Stories then you know that we have been slowly converting the garage attic into a fort for my boys. A place to hang out with each other and their friends. The main thing my youngest 2 boys requested was a place to store their treasures. Rocks, […]
I love white bedding. It reminds me of going to a nice hotel and the smell of the freshly washed white duvet and sheets. It seems cozy yet luxurious at the same time. The best thing about white bedding is that you can dress it up or make it casual. You can add color or […]
Like all of you, I have been staying home a lot lately. Most of the time actually. It has given me a chance to finish some small projects that kept getting pushed aside for “later”. Quarantine must be Latin for “later” because I’m crossing things off my list like crazy ;) One of the things […]
Temperatures are above freezing (most days), the sun has been peeking out, and we have only been snowed on a couple of times the past couple of weeks, so you know what that means… It’s painting time! I have had this dresser in my basement for an embarrassingly long time. I brought it over from […]
Last year I shared my 15 favorite perennials (plants that come back every year) and ever since I have wanted to also share my favorite annuals (plants that only live for one season). Annuals are a great way to add some color to your landscaping. There are so many different varieties. Here are 15 annual […]
Life always get crazy in February between birthdays and an upswing in school events and concerts. I always struggle to keep the blog up this time of year. It doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy on projects though. We have three big things going on a the same time and I am beyond excited to […]
When I shared the reveal of the bedroom I decorated for my nephew, there was one unfinished project that didn’t make it in that post. Even though this bedroom has two large closets, you can never have enough storage, right? These under bed storage drawers give even more storage to this shared space! This project […]
It’s been a hot second since I posted on the blog and I am long overdue for a post on the DIY fold down desk in the room I did for my nephew. It is a smallish room that is sometimes shared with his older brother so I needed to maximize the space. A fold […]
Last week I shared the room makeover I did for my nephew and the most asked question I got through messages and emails was if I bought the headboard or made it. It was a total DIY. To buy one is hundreds of dollars so I knew it had to be a do-it-yourself project if […]
I love reveal day! After working so hard on a room makeover, it is so fun to finally be able to share it with you. I think this room has more DIY projects in it than any of my other rooms. At least that is how it felt :) I had so much fun designing […]
I turned 40 last year and while I do not feel any mid-life crisis coming on (but if I do I am going to make sure it is something fun!), I did take it as a chance to reflect on my life so far and any changes I needed to make. I have suffered terrible […]
I love a good to-do list. I function on a daily basis because of them. I am so unorganized and I kind of fly by the seat of my pants most of the time so having some sort of list helps keep me going in the right direction. Plus it is pretty satisfying to be […]
I blame in on the time of year and all the sickness that has been making the rounds, but I was looking around at our house and feeling discouraged at all that we still need to get done. Especially our basement. To me, progress equals success. As I sat down to prepare to write this […]
If you are a regular reader here, you know that last year we got a new sofa and I skinned the old one. We have been using the leather for all sorts of projects from moccasins, to pillows, leather tab curtains, to now, ornaments! It has been fun to repurpose the leather into new things. […]
If you have been around for a while, you know that I turn everything into a planter. I am a self professed plant lady who just can’t help herself. So when I was going through my Christmas decor and found some leftover clear bulbs, I of course thought I should make them into little terrariums! […]
I am excited to announce that I am doing another room makeover! It is for my nephew and I am thrilled since kid and teen spaces are my favorite to design. After taking photos and measurements, I chatted with my sister and nephew to get an ideas of their wants and needs. I have a […]
I am terrible at wrapping gifts. I make Shane wrap them most of the time, but I love to add the finishing touches! Gift tags, bows, bells, greenery, or anything else to make it festive! I decided to make some wood gift tags this year. Not only are they adorable, but they are reusable! These […]
I look forward to sharing my Christmas decor with you every year and love being a part of home tours with other bloggers. I spend the morning each day peeking into other people’s homes seeing all the different styles and ideas. If you have been following along and are here from Jenna’s blog, Rain on […]
