  • How to Easily Create a Garden Bed

    When we bought our house, one of the first things I did was imagine where I could plant spring bulbs. For two years I’ve passed over this simple landscape task and I was eager to get to work at the new house!

  • Closet Makeover in Our New House

    Our main closet got a makeover and it’s so much better! I replaced the wire shelves with melamine, wallpapered the ceiling, changed the lights and the outlets and it’s such a great improvement!

  • Ikea Rast Dresser Mid Century Makeover

    I gave a plain Ikea Rast dresser a makeover using flexible trim, chic acrylic feet, new hardware and a coat of paint. Now it’s a show stopper for our front foyer!

  • Painted Holiday Wreath

    I made this flocked wreath so you would have a step by step tutorial for the one I made while crafting with Phyllis. I love the sweet painted houses and colorful dyed bottle brush trees!

Our oldest daughter is now in middle school which means she has… opinions. Thankfully she has a great sense of style so her opinions made for a fun chance to work together and update her room a bit! Her favorite color continues to be light purple/ lavender so we continued to work with that.

Introducing Our New Home

I started picturing our stuff in the various rooms and thinking about how I could bring in some charm and fun. Fast forward through submitting offers and counter offers and inspections and… we’re scheduled to move in at the end of the month!

Repainted Relaxing Main Bedroom

PPG Timeless has smooth one-coat coverage and is available online or exclusively at your local Home Depot. I will DEFinitely be using this paint again for future projects. I was beyond impressed with how easy it was to use and how well it covered. Anything that will save me multiple coats and is stain resistant is ALWAYS a good thing!

Geometric Wall Hanging

This geometric wall hanging cost $5 and looks similar to ones I’ve seen on West Elm or CB2. As with all of my projects, keep in mind that you can use any colors you like to make this wall art best fit your decor!
