Projects
Sometimes the best projects are the simplest ones. I had three days to give my boring spare bedroom an inviting atmosphere for some overnight guests, and I was starting from scratch! All I had to work with was a bed, some boring white walls, and an outdated headboard. I decided to create an earth tone […]
Are you interested in container gardening? Are you wondering the best way to build a raised bed to create a little garden space for all your herb and vegetable needs? If you’re looking for something a little more personalized than the wood boxes you can buy in the store, this post is for you. I’m […]
For months I have eyed this Restoration Hardware media console. The only problem was that it costs $4,995. YIKES! I like to splurge every now and then, but if I can make this, and make it cheaper then why not make it? I also get to customize it to my liking and style. Hang in […]
The kitchen cabinets were needing more organization and a better solution. Everything would just get thrown in there and I could never keep it clean. I finally found the solution for this and it was cabinet drawers! I installed them inside the cabinet and they will not only give more space in the cabinet, but […]
Floating shelves are just so seamlessly beautiful, I mean look at them. They make a good accent to fill a space as a decorative piece or even a useful storage area. Since they can cost an arm and a leg for custom ones, let’s create our own. DIY custom floating shelves coming at you. I […]
We are on our FINAL phase of this doggy area! First we built a doggy door, now we are building a doggy deck with a ramp. Our dogs better feel special and I’m sure they will be super happy to have this area just for them. Here we go! Simple Doggy Deck All you will […]
We’ve needed a doggy door in our house ever since we moved in but have a glass door so decided to put one in the side of the house. The convenience will be worth all the hard work to make this happen. We used the Freedom Pet Pass doggy door. It is an energy efficient […]
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! […]
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 […]
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 […]
