DIY projects and tutorials for anything from simple decor projects to more in-depth renovations!
I saw a bed on Pottery Barn’s website that I loved but was pretty out of budget for my cabin bedroom, but it seemed like it might be easy to dupe! I found a similar bed, a fabric I loved, and made pillow for the headboard. It was actually quite easy, if you have some…
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…
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….

We have removed and reinstalled SO MANY baseboards in our home, I feel like I now have a system down pat. It can be hard to get the baseboards off without making a mess of the walls, and then hard for them to look good again once they go back on. Here are all my…
I am working through installing large format tile in my basement right now and I am beyond excited with how it is coming out! I am no stranger to installing floor tiles, but this is my first time installing these larger tiles. I researched and put my findings to use, and everything is turning out…
I found the cutest antique lamp on Facebook Marketplace last week but I wasn’t a big fan of the lampshade. So I found a thrifted shade and covered it with some printed fabric using nothing but my iron and a glue gun! This is an easy tutorial on how to make a DIY pleated lampshade…
