While others are throwing out or giving away items during spring cleaning, I’m trying to figure out if you can throw away a space (joking but it’s been a real thought from time to time). My eat-in kitchen has been bothering me for some time. When my family first moved in, we had a round, […]

For some reason these boys of mine never want regular kids bedroom. Well, I am not sure if I can fully blame them, as a mom I am all about designing rooms that not only function well but that will also allow us all to truly thrive in our home. For me, that means that […]

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and my family is here for all of the lovey dovey stuff! This DIY Heart Succulent Planter combines my love for plants and my love for love. I am working hard to share this love with my boys and this project was perfect for that. They were able […]

I recently sat and reflected on just how important front doors are to our homes. They are typically the first things our guests see when they arrive for a visit. Our front doors are usually our first layer of defense. They also give our neighbors and people passing by a good idea of what the […]

This past July, I was able to virtually attend the Haven Conference. The Haven Conference is for DIY bloggers and designers and is a weekend packed full with learning as well as brand partnership opportunities. One of the biggest opportunities for the entire conference is The Home Depot’s Orange Tank Competition. This competition is basically […]

If you follow me over on Instagram, then you know that this particular project tormented me for awhile. First, I had a hard time with the math and then I struggled to make a decision between using mats or not to showcase the art work. I have temporarily (maybe not so temporarily) decided to leave […]

I have been waiting to redo this bathroom since we moved in. Well, I actually thought I did redo it and that attempt seriously fell flat! I mean, I had very good intentions, but it just did not work out. A total bathroom renovation is not in our budget right now, nor do I think it is […]
