      I wanted to add some budget color to this striped rug, so I painted it! I’m using Frogtape painters tape to get clean crisp colorful stripes for an easy upgrade for my office.

    • Basement Playroom Turned Game Room

      operation GAME ROOM. First step was to clear out the back part of the basement. We sold the desks on Craigslist, repurposed the bookshelves and removed all the artwork. Time to carry the stripes all around the room. I’ll link to everything we purchased for the game room at the end of the post, but-spoiler- just about *everything* came from Amazon.

    • Organizing a Linen Closet with DIY Elastic Bands for Our Sheets

      This project was *not* intended to be posted about. The lighting is bad, the before and after picture isn’t much better, but… I had so many comments about it over on Instagram, that I had to write it up.

Brian and his husband Hollis fell in love with Iceland years ago and purchased an apartment in Reyjavik that they redesigned and try to enjoy whenever they can.

    How to Plant Easy Evergreen Planters I partnered with Miracle-Gro to put together these fresh and colorful evergreen planters just in time for the holidays.

    How to Make the Holiday White House Birch Trees in Your Own Home

    Psssst... this post *might* contain affiliate links: see my disclosure here.

    I *loved* our room, but the most magical space in the building- in my opinion- was the East Colonnade lined with handmade birch trees and garlands of mirrors and pompoms. Experts conceived of the birch trees in the White House, but I wanted to try my hand at recreating this in my own home!
