I’ve been dreaming of an upholstered bed frame for as long as we’ve been married. Which is {not so} coincidentally the same amount of time we’ve been sleeping on a rickety metal bed frame. The good news was- I found my dream bed. The bad news? It was $920. Definitely not in the “I just…
The entry door from our garage dumps into in a little landing, flanked by doors on three sides. Like any good Midwestern family, we (and most everyone who visits) enter through the garage, which means they are greeted by the long staircase into our basement. I worry about our family and friends tumbling down the…
Bifold doors have their place, but in my opinion, the less you have to open them the better. Naturally, having a bifold pantry door wasn’t working out for us. Especially with small kiddos with pinchable fingers who are always searching for their next snack. So today we’re going to turn our bifold door into double…
Wow, Crate and Barrel really does me in sometimes- I love the modern yet cozy look of their decor. A few weeks ago saw a photo of a wooden tree collar that stole my heart but I knew I couldn’t spend $100 on something that went under our tree. So I set out to make…
‘Tis the season of inspiration overload and open wallets. About one week into the holiday season, I start to feel that anxiety creeping in about money being spent, activities undone, and the halls still undecked with boughs of holly. It’s hard to keep up with this fleeting season. Every Christmas I try to add to…
If you could climb inside my brain, you would hear a constant buzzing of DIY house project ideas that I want to tackle. In fact, just yesterday we were driving home from church and I said, out of the blue, “I think I’m going to tear up all of the carpet tomorrow.” And Tyler reminded…
In my humble opinion- the more pillows, the better. My only beef with pillows is that they can be expensive! Where can a girl find cheap decorative pillows around here?? My other dilemma is that sometimes I’ll get this idea of what I want only to find out that it doesn’t exist. So I had…
We officially celebrated our 1 year “blog-iversary” this month! Hard to believe we’ve been documenting our house projects for a whole year, but at the same time it feels like a decade’s worth of things of changed since July 2019. The world looks a whole lot different than it did last summer! Let’s take trip…
I swear to you guys- when I told Tyler I wanted to hang a pegboard over the dresser in the nursery he looked at me like I’d finally lost my baby brain marbles. He doesn’t spend much time on Pinterest except to look at garage things, so I’m sure he was picturing a standard shop…
We have been keeping busy with lots of mini projects in the nursery! Now that we’re super close to finishing up, I thought I’d update here. If I don’t, my nursery room tour post might be 6 years long and who really wants to hear about our outlet choices during a room tour?? First up…
