Lately I have been absolutely KILLING IT on Facebook Marketplace, if I do say so myself. A lot of people have been asking me how I keep getting so lucky, but the truth is, I am not lucky. I have a strategy for finding things on there, and it works! Let me share all my…
My daughter and I saw a picture of someone’s Halloween Decor showing a giant spider decoration holding up a body caught in a web and we really wanted to recreate that! I ordered a giant spider on Amazon, and when it came it was somewhat underwhelming. We decided to beef it up a bit and…
We don’t have a designated guest room in our house, but rather a guest room-slash-office with a murphy bed. It is really a small space and even more so with the bed flipped down. But that does not mean it’s not a comfortable space! With the holidays just around the corner, I thought that I…
When designing our bar, I came across some images of antique and vintage delft style tiles, and fell in love! But then I started looking at how much they cost, and the price…. yikes! I asked my sister, who teaches ceramics at our local high school, and she thought we could probably make something ourselves….

There is a big stucco wall on our upper deck, and since the day we moved in, I’ve been thinking about what to do with it. I knew I didn’t want to hang art out there. Paintings belong inside a house, in my opinion! What I really wanted was a wall full of vines. To do…
We bought a lake cabin! All the details on the cabin we bought and some of our preliminary plans for the space!
We just finished installing our butcherblock countertops in the bar and they came together even better than I hoped! I had a hard time finding information on how to do this online, so I thought I would put together this little tutorial on how to cut butcher block countertop, and how to piece it together!…
Spring is upon us and with that, the outdoor projects begin! To kick off the summer season, I wanted to start with a quick and easy project by adding some outdoor string lights to our backyard firepit area. However, we don’t have any trees! We figured out a quick and easy way to hang string…
