What I’ve been asking myself a lot in preparation for this overhaul is ‘what is in the ultimate workshop?’ That sounds a bit aspirational, no? But if you really think about it, most of the time, the things that make things great, are not big fancy, expensive things. It’s the small things that meet a […]

For the past couple years, our storage solutions on the garage have been open shelving. It’s good for some things but open shelving isn’t great for organization unless it’s all large things. All the small little things like wood filler, stain rags, etc get all piled up. It really isn’t the best storage solution. That […]

We’ve had our Rustoleum kit sitting on a shelf in our garage for well over a year and this weekend, it was finally time to do it! We definitely learned quite a few lessons while we epoxied the garage floors and our IG community had some great questions so we wanted to answer them all!   […]

Eight weeks. One Room. Completely complete. This One Room Challenge was special for me because for the past [almost] 2 years, Steve has been working from home like so many others. He hasn’t had a terrible setup but in the home office, it was kind of a catch-all. We stuck an old desk that we’ve […]

The final project for this One Room Challenge is creating a cushion for the window seat I built a few weeks ago. This feels like the whole thing culminating into this vision I once had at the beginning of this journey. Check out the window seat here! I am using some scrap MDF that’s 1/2″ thick […]

It’s week 6 of the One Room Challenge and WHAT the actual wall treatment will be has been the question since the beginning. Truly, I wanted to do a fabulous accent wall of wallpaper. That didn’t work out because of a couple reasons. This is a large wall and to cover the entire wall would […]

It’s that time again, it’s week FIVE of the One Room Challenge! This week is a DIY plywood waterfall desk.So let’s catch up on what we were working on this week. Last week, I built a built-in window seat and I left one side unfinished. That’s because I was going to be adding a built-in […]

Another week has come and gone with 2 kids and man, the time just goes quicker and quicker with kids, age, and, doing things you love! This week is all about the window seat I built in our office. I have been dreaming of a window seat and built-ins for years and now my dreams […]

This pegboard journey started long before the One Room Challenge. Last year, when the pandemic locked down the world, I started creating this pegboard for my son’s room. Everything started off really well and then the struggles began. This was a time that everyone was making a pegboard and it looked like the easiest thing […]

Let’s start the first project of this One Room Challenge Office Makeover to be function-centered. The Office was such a disaster. In order really to be able to do anything in there, I needed to clean, organize and find a home for the stuff that’s just accumulated in here because it had no other place […]

After a not-so-intentional hiatus from the blog, we are coming back with an exciting project! We are going to be remodeling our home office to be a office/gym combo! The theme of the past few months has been functionality. My vision for this office was beautiful, traditional and, to be honest, a complete waste of […]

  This project is the center piece of my son’s modern Spiderman big-boy room. We painted his entire room a color block of grey and navy with small red accents around the room. We are using the backdrop I bought for his birthday party last year as a DIY canvas. SUPPLIES: – Fabric of choice: […]
