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 […]
How to add character to your garage door (in 5 minutes and for less than $20!)
We’ve been working on our fixer upper house for quite a while now. You have no idea how much of an improvement just this view of this side of the house is after removing over 40+ bushes from the front and this side of the house, and getting the house painted. But it was still looking […]

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 […]

I have a fun and free project to share today that added some personalized decor to our guest bathroom. Remember this is where I started after I painted over the bright pink walls. And now this is what it looks like! I added the DIY towel hooks and then added some picture display art above […]
Guest bathroom update – Stained wood framed bathroom mirror
When I last showed you the bathroom it looked like this… I had painted the room, painted the cabinet, installed new hardware, and installed a towel rack. This week I dressed up the mirror a bit and framed it with some simple stained wood! Another before… And now with a framed in mirror. I am […]
