New double pane, energy efficient hopper basement windows

REPLACING OUR BASEMENT WINDOWS | DIY INSTALL

Posted on May 18, 2020March 6, 2023 by Megan

This might be our riskiest DIY yet… If you remember when we built our mini toy shed, you’ll know we ordered new basement windows on a whim. We figured, “Hey, we’re paying the same delivery fee, might as well get our money’s worth!” Plus, it was early in our pandemic quarantine days and we were…

LAYING A MULCH BORDER UNDER OUR FENCE

Posted on May 11, 2020March 6, 2023 by Megan

Working in our backyard is a complicated effort to establish a boundary between a nice lawn and a healthy wooded area. We love our trees and forest-y creatures, but we also want to have a lush grassy space for our family to romp around. Our fenced area is what we call our “backyard”. Beyond the…

OUR FAVORITE NURSERY ITEMS THAT LAST THROUGH TODDLER YEARS

Posted on May 7, 2020March 6, 2023 by Megan

It feels like just yesterday I was sitting here writing about C’s nursery transformation. But now that C has turned 2, things are changing big time in his room! While a lot of baby things are moving next door to the new nursery, there are a few things that we wouldn’t dream of moving because…

WE BUILT A MINI SHED FOR OUTDOOR TOYS

Posted on May 4, 2020March 6, 2023 by Megan

I never thought I’d say this, but we built a shed entirely for toddler toys. And you can bet your Cozy Coupe we’ve already filled it! You wouldn’t believe how useful a 6′ x 3′ space with a roof can be! This endeavor began when 1) we realized we couldn’t walk around our garage without…

WATERPROOFING OUR BASEMENT | INSTALLING DRAINS AND A SUMP PUMP

Posted on May 1, 2020March 6, 2023 by Megan

When we took out two ginormous trees in our front yard, we knew there might be *some* moisture problems in the basement. To say we underestimated how much those trees were drinking would be an understatement. For three years we had water seeping into our basement every time it rained. It was pretty bad the…

5 HOME THINGS WE LOVE

Posted on April 26, 2020March 6, 2023 by Megan

Boy, things have changed! We are currently in a worldwide pandemic and trying to do our part by staying home. But it’s not all bad around here! We have some big news to share… After facing trials and losses last year in trying to conceive, we are so happy to announce that we’re pregnant again!…

Cushioned bar stool pair behind kitchen island countertop

REPLACING OUR COUNTER STOOLS + WASHABLE RUG UPDATE

Posted on February 25, 2020March 6, 2023 by Megan

In our *old* age, we have determined that comfort is key. One of our first purchases for our current home was a pair of metal counter stools for our kitchen island. While they are cute, affordable, and, yes, even functional, they are gosh dang terrible to sit on. I actually avoided sitting at the island…

BUILDING A PICTURE FRAME LEDGE FOR $20

Posted on December 5, 2019March 6, 2023 by Megan

What do you do with the wall above your couch? Our old hand-me-down pull out couch works super well, functionally, on living room wall, but the space above the couch had us stumped for a while. I love photo gallery walls, but I already have two (three?) around the house and it would require a…

TODDLER BEDROOM BOOKSHELVES

Posted on November 17, 2019March 6, 2023 by Megan

Saturday mornings at our house are usually busy with odd jobs and small projects. A week or so ago, I took a trip to IKEA with my best friend and picked up three of the BEKVÄM spice racks for $4.99 each! Well, they’re called spice racks, but I’ve seen them more commonly used as bookshelves….

BUILDING INDUSTRIAL SHELVES FOR OUR HALF BATH

Posted on November 14, 2019March 6, 2023 by Megan

When we purchased our home, a few pieces were left behind by the previous owners such as a pink teepee, fuzzy bathmats, and landscape blocks. We have gotten rid of most things (i.e. everything listed above), except for this contemporary glam round mirror in our half bathroom downstairs. The half bath has looked exactly like…
