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: […]
So, you want to make something out of concrete but you’ve never worked with it before. Let’s get you a foundation of knowledge on concrete: Yes, concrete or mortar mixing can be intimidating or daunting, but there really isn’t that much to it. Concrete is basically just rocks, dust, and water that when you mix […]
The more projects I complete, the more I find myself saying “I’ve wanted to do this since moving into the house 2 years ago”. I’ve had a lot of plans for this house from the beginning. This trellis wall is one of them. However, the plans for it have transformed massively since the original […]
The entryway of your home is what first greats guests when the come to your home and mine has been lacking for 2 years because other projects have taken priority. I was so unsure of what exactly I wanted there. That is until I saw this beautiful entryway table from Restoration Hardware but one problem, […]
I can’t believe that it’s the end of the One Room Challenge. At first, it felt overwhelming to commit to transforming an entire space in 6-8 weeks and then it felt like it would never end. But here we are on reveal day and I’m so happy to have this half bathroom completely complete. […]
Can you believe that we’ve finally made it to the last two weeks of the One Room Challenge dresser flip? First it was extended from 6 to 8 weeks and then postponed completely due to Covid-19. The world has changed so much in the past 3 months. My life looks completely different now than […]
Last week was supposed to be week 5 of the One Room Challenge, but in light of the state of the nation, it was cancelled so we could all listen, learn and love all humankind. Now we’re on to week 6 of the One Room Challenge diying a wood slat wall. This really flew […]

It’s that time again! It’s time to update y’all with our progress of the One Room Challenge for the week! We are DIY tiling in the bathroom. This is perfect for a DIY tiling for a beginner. I’m so excited about the tile we are using in the bathroom! I have been searching for tile […]
The One Room Challenge has officially begun after a slight delay due to quarantine. I am so happy to be participating in this challenge and to get to make over this half bathroom that has been eating away at me from the day we moved in. It’s Demo DAY!! Before we dive into the demo […]
Being in month 2 of quarantine (I think–I can hardly keep track of time these days). I am finding new and creative ways to use what I have on hand. Instead of running to the store multiple times a day for a project. Or even all the things I need or forgot. This led to […]
This year our list of outdoor projects is substantial! The yard landscaping has been the biggest part of that list and will happen in phases. Until this point, we hadn’t done any landscaping to the front of the house. We have gotten quotes for the work we want done and it’s just WAY out of […]
Last year, I watched in envy while all of these DIYers participated in the One Room Challenge. I had no idea about it before it was happening. I knew that after seeing the community created with this challenge, that I wanted to be a part of the next one! A few weeks (months?) ago, one […]
