I have a fun thrift store makeover to share with you today! I know some of you love to see these and I sure do love to do them too. I just don’t need as much furniture and accessories as I once did so I don’t do as many thrifted or yard sale makeovers as […]
Butcher block table and chairs farmhouse style makeover
Many years ago (I think it has been 8-9 years!) I scoured craigslist for a butcher block style table like this. I finally found one not very far at all from where we lived with 4 chairs and a pedestal instead of 4 legs and I think I paid $100. I sold a dark brown […]
Eat in kitchen before + after!
So I’m back to share another before/after of a room with you! It has been a crazy month or so around here but I think things are starting to settle down and I can’t wait to share some new posts with you. I have a few more rooms I want to do updates on and […]
Farmhouse Style Mudroom Makeover (done for under $50!)
I have so enjoyed doing this little makeover on our mudroom/hallway! This little space is like the hub of our home so I am in and out of it constantly all day. And I just smile now every time I see it with the farmhouse touches, the organized storage space, and just finally looking pretty! […]
DIY Cotton Wreath (for less than $20!)
I’m sure I am not the only one that has fallen in love with the modern farmhouse style that seems so popular right now. Whether it’s because of Joanna’s incredible style on Fixer Upper or just because we are craving a comfortable, laid back yet modern/pretty style in our homes, all things rustic/natural/neutrals and farmhouse […]
Shiplap wall in the nursery (how to install a faux shiplap wall for less than $30)
I’m so excited to finally share this! (and plan to share the nursery final reveal next week). It’s been done for a while but taking and editing pictures and getting them all blogged takes quite a process with a busy baby nowadays. If you are new to my blog, we bought a fixer upper […]
DIY Farmhouse Style Wood High Chair Makeover
Last spring when I was making a list of all the baby things I needed to buy or find for our little girl, a highchair was definitely on the list. I didn’t want a plastic/bulky free standing one that just wouldn’t fit in the style of my home so I was going to go with […]
Garden Bench Makeover
Ack! Sorry for the unplanned blog silence. I had intended to take a week off after completing the $100 One Room Challenge but one week accidently turned into two. Actually I have been quite busy with tons of yard work (trimming trees, planting, spreading a truck load of mulch, and clearing and making new beds), […]
DIY Floating Shelves in the Nursery
I really wanted to create some vertical storage/display space in the nursery and felt the best way to accomplish that is shelves. And I just love how these turned out! I debated many different options from using shelving brackets, to IKEA brackets to building a hidden support type of floating shelves but finally settled on […]
Little Pink Rocking Chair
Last spring when I was wanting to prepare for baby and decorate her room but we hadn’t moved yet, I kept myself busy by packing of course, but also by trying to go ahead and find and DIY some things for her room. Like this DIY chicken wire hair bow holder. Another thing I […]
