When I first walked into our basement, the most attractive feature in a sea of wood paneling were the built-in cabinets. They are well-constructed and a timeless style. We’re so thankful because I’m not sure we would’ve been able to make that investment – or at least it wouldn’t have been a priority! You guys …
What’s the top question I get asked? It almost always has to do with the color of my walls! And if you’ve been around here for a little while, you know that painting is my favorite way to change a space. It’s both affordable and a skill that most people can do themselves! So here …
YOU GUYS! You haven’t heard from me because I’ve been dancing the past two weeks (oh, and working 😉). I’m dancing because I still can’t believe it. My drop ceiling is done! And surprise – we got new windows and our walls are painted too! I actually finished our basement drop ceiling last week, but …

Our 1970s basement update is coming along (very) slowly, but surely. I’ve been dreaming of the type of space our basement will be with ideas swirling around in my head. Something that’s helpful to me is compiling my ideas into one place – Pinterest helps with that! In addition, piecing everything together on one document also …
Guys, let’s just call our basement a “bonus floor!” What I mean by that is there is no chance we’d be jumping into a full-fledged basement renovation with our budget and home & life priorities. But since the structure is there, we’re able to do what we do best: see something that’s already existing and …
If you remember from our 2019 Home Project Goals post, our dining room is high on the list. I shared our chalked-painted filing cabinet turned pantry with you last week and today I’m excited to bring you a tutorial for hanging your own DIY shelves (this has been my most highly requested tutorial)! To bring …
Well friends, I might have painted this in November, but I’ve been waiting for a great moment to share this fun little makeover with you! Honestly, this phrase probably gets overused, but it truly is amazing how much a little paint can do to freshen up a piece of furniture! I know I talk a …
Each year since I’ve lived in our house, I like to make a list of goals or hopes for what we want to accomplish in our home for the year. Let’s call it a list of “House Project Goals.” We plan our best, but life happens – so our projects are written in pencil – …
