Oh boy. This is a makeover to top all other makeovers that I’ve done. This tiny bathroom in our master bedroom has been hidden away because it was so ugly. Okay, it wasn’t terrible, but it just didn’t feel like me. Please enjoy this guide on how I completed a $100 bathroom remodel.
The real slim shady song has been STUCK in my head all day. I have no idea why. I also have a terrible headache because my coffee this morning was 20% coffee and 80% sugar & whipped cream. Oh well, It’s the weekend. I’m back to distract you with my $100 closet remodel (otherwise known as the February house project that is just now being written). If you like organization and terrible before photos but also really good after photos, stick around.
Sometimes the DIY bug will hit and I need a project to do. I love quick but big projects that give you instant gratification – I think that’s why I love building furniture. Most recently I was able to redo our master bedroom for less than $100! Today I’ll be showing you how to prep and install drop cloth curtains.
I can’t believe it’s already time for all things pumpkin! It’s still pretty hot outside here in OKC but hopefully a cool down will happen soon. I am getting excited to break out my scarves, sweaters and booties. More importantly, I ordered a bunch of new fall clothes for Isla and I can’t wait until its cool enough to put her in a cute little sweater. See what I bought her from H&M here. Thanks for stopping by to check out our Fall decor for your porch ideas! These easy to recreate ideas will have your porch looking cozy in no time!
Heidi-ho, Neighbor! (Anyone else watch old re-runs of Home Improvement and miss the 90s?).
I haven’t had time to build anything in a while to share with you guys. I’ve been helping my mom redo her kitchen, taking a little break from blogging, Isla had a health scare in April and I haven’t felt like writing anything, if i’m being honest. But I thought I’d tell you about Isla’s toy box that I built for her first birthday! This DIY Toy Box offers tons of storage, which makes cleaning her room a breeze!
She turned one in October and I really needed a practical way to store her toys and books. We were having to get creative and stuff toys all over the place to put them away.
I had been wanting to build her a toy box but I knew it would have to have a built in bookshelf as well as storage for bigger items. I have been following Ana White for years and I had seen these plans before.
Happy Saturday, Everyone!
I hope you had a great week. I’m so excited about today’s post. Normally my DIY posts are about woodworking but this one is a little different.
When we first moved into our house, there wasn’t a cover over our fireplace. It was just open for anyone to climb on in – mainly Teddy (our golden retriever), but I also had little relatives that come over sometimes who might have thought it was a good idea to climb in there.
I knew that eventually we would have a baby (spoiler alert-we did) and that it would need to be covered. I looked everywhere for a more affordable option than what I was finding online or in stores. These things can get really expensive. We had just bought our house so I was looking for something a little more budget friendly – almost free. Hahaha.

Is anyone else super excited about being Santa this year? I am so looking forward to seeing Isla open presents and starting Christmas traditions with her. I’m also really pumped that so many of you have read my posts. It means so much. You have no idea. December is only a day away and I think I’m going to try and do blog-mas this year and publish a post for every day of December. I really want to document our lives while Isla Rose is little and Christmas is such a special time, so expect lots of new content if you are subscribed!
I’m writing today to let you know about a fun project I’ve been working on! I don’t get to build very often because our daughter goes to bed at 6:30 and power tools are loud but I was able to steal away for a little bit and throw this vintage looking sled together! I started building furniture in 2012 and almost everything in my house was built by myself and Evan. Carpentry can be very relaxing and my goal is to help those of you that might be intimidated by using power tools or saws. I hope you give it a try!
Hello folks! Today I am letting you know exactly what I want for Christmas – or someone who likes to decorate in the farmhouse/ industrial/ cottage style. Here are my favorite things that would make a lovely gift for someone. So let’s get into my Holiday Gift Guide for the Decor Lover in your life!
- Tiered Stand – My first find is from Wayfair. I am seeing these 3 tiered wood trays all over the place! I’ve seen them in bathrooms to hold hand soap and I’ve seen them on kitchen islands and I desperately need one in my life. I would use it in the kitchen and put my holiday knick-knacks on it or maybe a cute Christmas mug. The possibilities are endless.
- Personalized Lanterns – Check out these beautiful personalized lanterns! I just love this idea. Especially for someone who just got married. Such a thoughtful and unique gift.
Don’t you just love decorating your porch for fall? For me, this usually begins in August and I have to cycle through my pumpkins a couple of times. This year we had so many tiny pumpkins and the most beautiful mums I’ve ever seen! That giant purple one. Swoon.
We got the mums to decorate for my daughter’s first birthday party which was in October and the theme was pumpkin everything. We decorated with pumpkins and used a pink and orange color scheme. It was wonderful. I started decorating with pumpkins as soon as they hit the stores.
