The loft has made some big progress since my last update, so let’s dive right in and see what’s been going on!

In case you haven’t taken notice of the color blocking trend yet, hold on to your butts! Because in this post, I’m going to take you on a deep dive into the wonderful world of color blocking!

It’s been a loooong road, but I’m ecstatic to say that our master bathroom is complete! Actually, it’s been complete for a couple of months but we just got around to taking pictures. We’re busy, you know, finishing other projects and starting new ones before those are even complete. Better late than never though, right?

Last year was the first time as an adult I ever decorated for Halloween. I knew I wanted to add to my Halloween decor collection this year but didn’t have anything in particular in mind. Until I found this broken-down wreath at the thrift store!

Remember how I mentioned in my last post that we were focusing really hard on wrapping up the hallway renovation? Yeah… we started a big new project. We’re renovating the loft!

We’ve been focusing HARD on wrapping up the hallway renovation the last couple of weeks. The closer we get to the finish line, the more my brain buzzes with ideas on how to really turn it into more than just a passthrough but rather an integral, well thought out part of the house. So in this post, I’d like to share some updates on our hallway progress, and future plans for what I have in mind.

I have to be honest with you. While I enjoy writing tutorials and showing you all how I DIY’d something, what I really love is sharing my thought process behind the decisions I make while designing a room. And lucky for you (or me?), that’s what I’m covering in this post.

Have a fence that’s just kind of “blah”? Liven things up with a trellis and some climbing vines! In this post, you’ll learn how to build your own wire trellis and create a beautiful backdrop for your yard.

Frosting your windows is the easiest DIY ever! Way easier than I anticipated, and inexpensive too. So in this post, you’ll learn the step-by-step process to frost your windows so you can do it too!

And as much as I love the stoneware decor I’ve purchased, I still can’t believe that cheap little old me paid full price, especially after I realized I could easily make my own! Yep, that’s right. And I’m gonna show you just how to do it. In fact, in this tutorial, I’ll show you 5 different ways to create the stoneware look for less! Here we go…

In my post outlining our home improvement goals for 2021, I mentioned I wanted to work on whipping the foyer into a better, more inviting space. So why not start by flipping a piece of furniture I already have in there!?

I've removed my fair share of wallpaper. In fact, I removed an entire house full of wallpaper at our last place, and I've even removed some in this house too! And let me tell you, it's a huge pain. You'd probably think at this point I loathe wallpaper, but surprisingly that’s not the case at all.

We built my master closet with the intent that it would be like its own little room inside of our bedroom. So of course, since I have this little space that is truly all my own, I'm going all out and REALLY making it my own. Which is why I created a mood board to plan out the entire design of my closet. (Also, I love mood boards.)

There’s no shame in incorporating fake plants into your decor BUT, you don’t necessarily want people to realize they’re fake. So in this post, I’ll share an easy DIY and some tips to help make your faux plants look real.

We accomplished so much last year – it’s a little crazy to look back on. When you’re in the thick of it, sometimes it seems like projects move at a snail’s pace. Especially when I compare myself to bloggers who don’t have a separate full-time job. But considering our circumstances, DAMN, we made some progress! But of course, a house is never done! So here’s what we’re hoping to accomplish in 2021.

Looking back over the last year(ish) I'm amazed at how many changes we've made throughout our home! Every day it's becoming more and more "us”, which feels amazing. So right about now seems like a good time to recap 8 big projects we worked on in 2020 - with before and after pics! Including one project I never even wrote about and the first picture I’m sharing of the kitchen since I painted it!

Our master bathroom renovation is trucking along. In fact, almost everything is already ordered! So I think it’s about time I shared the design with all of you!

I’ve mentioned in the past that I have a bad habit of overcomplicating things. Well, not this time! I created these sweet little cardboard house luminaries in just a couple of hours (including time for the paint to dry). Let me show you how!

Painting your stairs can be an inexpensive way to give them a completely new look, but do they actually hold up? No one wants to take the time to do a home improvement project that doesn't last. Lucky for you, in this post, I'm sharing the pros and cons of how my painted stairs are standing the test of time after 1 year so you can decide if this type of project is right for you!

I'm going to share with you some of the images that have inspired me to paint my own kitchen cabinets GREEN! But not just that, we'll also cover the other elements that visually pull a kitchen together - hardware, counters, and wall color. Let's get to it!
