One Room Challenge Spring 2021 Week One – the Kids Bath!
Our Modern Traditional Bedroom Reveal!
One of the rooms we started on when we first moved into this house was the main bedroom. The bedroom and adjoining ensuite were open to each other. The open bathroom was popular in the ’90s and early ’00s (this is actually not the first time we have owned a house with an open bathroom!)…
How to Make Lined, Pleated Curtains
If you have been following along with my projects for any amount of time, you will know that when I need something made that involves sewing (pillows, curtains, upholstery) I send it off to my mom. I’m so lucky to have her skills available to me and she’s also (relatively) willing to make my stuff!…
The Unplanned Room Makeover – The Hallway!

Read on to find out how we did it DIY’ed this built-in electric fireplace! The Antique Mantel This fireplace has a little backstory and I…
Drywall, Moulding and Paint, Oh My!
We just completed a fairly major project that I’ve been dreaming about since we first looked at this house. You see, the house was built in the late ’90s, at a time where adding details like ledges, niches, cutouts, and such was pretty common. This house was full of that good ol’ 90’s character! It…
Our Not-So-New Home!
I thought it was long overdue that I did a *quick blog post about our new house and summarized some loose plans for it on the blog! (*I think you all know by now that my blog posts are not “quick”). The first question we are asked often is, why did you move? We spent…
DIY Cedar Shim Starburst Light Fixture
DIY Cedar Shim Starburst Light Fixture I recently revealed this DIY cedar shim starburst light fixture last week on Instagram and the response to it was shocking! It was by far my most well-received post or DIY project to date. So many people saved the post, which tells me a whole bunch of people are…
