Colorful Home Office Reveal

Obviously I recognized the potential for this space when we first toured the house. I appeared to be dry, had a wall of shelves, was surprisingly bright for being below ground and… was relatively BIG! My first instinct was to be lazy and just to paint it all: white concrete walls, white shelves, white floor.

Paint Colors in Our Home

All of the Paint Colors in Our House Today I’m sharing the various paint colors I’m asked about the most! How to choose the perfect paint color: As much as I LOVE color, the irony is that my love for color often means my wall colors are white. But after a year in our current… Read the Post

Painted Striped Coffee Table

I’ve had a black and white inlay coffee table on my inspo board for aaages…. The one I have has rounded waterfall edges and a bold black and white stripe accented but a white inlay border. It’s such a fun twist on a coffee table bringing a bit of graphic detail to a space (coffee table) that doesn’t necessarily add much style to the room. $1200+ is not in my budget so I decided to try my hand at DIY! Wish me luck!

Girls Bedroom Makeover with DIY Bunkbeds and More

When we moved into this new house, we also told the girls they would be sharing a room. Martha and Louisa are closest in age so it makes sense for them to share, but whooo, chile.

This tiny foyer was one of the first problems I wanted to solve.

The bedrooms in the shelter were an intense shade of ecru. Like the type of beige that burns into your soul. With only a couple days to work, paint was a challenge, but it was also something we wanted to do for them. The rest of the project was pretty much furniture and furniture layout.

When we bought this house a year and a half ago, the kitchen layout seemed fine, but it was definitely a little dated in other ways. I didn’t love the profile of the cabinet doors. Counters were bad and the sink was hardly big enough for 2 people much less 7.

When I first started blogging years ago, “hacks” were a big thing. Anthro hacks. Serena and Libby hacks. Essentially finding a way to DIY a cheaper imitation of something at one of these stores. I admit that finding ways to DIY things I love is still in my blood so I end up with random photos peppered throughout my phone of items I see that might be replicable.
