There’s a first time for everything - and this week of the One Room Challenge marked my first time at tiling! And you know what? It’s a super beginner-friendly project that makes a really big impact! In this post, I’m sharing the steps I took to tile my laundry room backsplash.

Are you looking for beautiful and unique countertops that don't cost thousands? Give concrete countertops a try! In this post, I'm sharing the step-by-step process of how I installed white concrete countertops in my laundry room as part of the One Room Challenge.

It’s week 4 of the One Room Challenge and we’re officially halfway to the finish line! This week the laundry room got a big upgrade when we installed the freshly painted cabinets, a new door, and the trim!

At this point, I've painted 4 kitchens worth of cabinets and have learned A LOT along the way. Since I was painting the cabinets for the laundry room this week anyway, I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to share my process for painting cabinets - breaking down what does and doesn't work so you get the best finished product.

In last week’s post, I shared the design I’ve had rolling around in my head for the laundry room renovation that I’m tackling for the One Room Challenge. This week, I shifted my attention to picking the perfect paint colors for the walls and cabinets - and thought it would be fun to bring you along for the ride!

I often share pictures of rooms as we're working on them. What you don't see (and what I strategically choose not to share on the regular) are the rooms that have sat unfinished - like our laundry room.

That’s why I’m super excited to share that our next project will be finishing the laundry room as part of the One Room Challenge! I'm kicking things off in this post with my design plans for this space.

Spooky season is here!

As a self-proclaimed summer-lover, I was caught off guard when this year I actually had to restrain myself from decorating for Halloween before Labor Day! (Who even am I anymore!?) You better believe as soon as I felt it was a little more socially acceptable, I broke out the spiders, pumpkins, and bats in a hurry! In this post, I’m sharing how I decorated our home for Halloween and a tutorial for a cute kid-friendly DIY you can do to up the spooky factor in your home.

I’m not usually a fan of antique-looking decor, but when I first saw this antiqued mirror I wanted it right away! It’s not available for sale anymore but let me tell you, it was too expensive for my blood. So, naturally, I made my own antiqued mirror! Here’s how…

It’s been SIX MONTHS since my last loft update. What!??? That’s why I’m so excited to report that we finally installed the brick veneer above the kitchenette in the loft! And I can’t wait to show you how we did it. Oh, yeah, and we also installed the kitchenette!

Plants have a way of effortlessly bringing a pop of color, life, and energy into any space. If you haven't noticed, I have quite the collection of plants (30 as of writing this post!). And now that everything is in full bloom and thriving, I figured it might be fun to share some of my favorites and how I do my best to keep them happy and healthy.

When I wrote the post outlining our project goals for this year, I mentioned that our younger daughter’s room was on the list. Given that this was declared the year of finishing projects, we didn’t really plan to tackle it so soon (if at all). Yet, here we are.

In my last post, I shared how to curate art for your gallery wall. But what good is all that art if there aren't any frames to ground them? That’s why in this post, I'm covering how I gathered and oftentimes altered, frames for my gallery wall to create the overall look I was going for - without spending a fortune. There may even be a special trick that makes hanging artwork a breeze at the end of this post!

Want to add more art to your home but don’t know where to start? I feel you - I was you. I recently decided to revamp a gallery wall in my home and quickly realized how overwhelmed I was with art options. But now that my gallery wall is finished, I put together this post to share the tips for curating art for your home I learned along the way.

When it came to painting our loft, I was intimidated. It’s a BIG room - around 900 sq. feet. The thought of rolling paint on the ceiling alone had me Googling local chiropractors in preparation for the aftermath. But then Lucius and I realized that with the loft completely empty, this would be a good opportunity to finally invest in a paint sprayer. So invest we did!

And now that the job is done, I’m excited to break down how using a paint sprayer compares to rolling paint, and to answer the question you might be asking, “Should I use a paint sprayer or a roller for that project?”.

I can’t believe how long it’s been since my last post about the loft! The most recent changes happened in such quick succession, it didn’t register how much has changed until, um… now. But a LOT has changed! So, in this post, I’ll walk you through what we’ve done to the loft since my last update, what’s still left to do, and some new ideas we’ve been throwing around!

You've probably come across textured wall art at a big box store and liked the look of it, but not the price tag. But did you know you can easily make your own for a fraction of the cost? In this post, I’m sharing exactly how to make textured canvas art!

As you may have read in the last update about the hallway, or if you’ve been tuning in on Instagram stories, or if you’re my friend, an acquaintance, or even a simple passerby at the store, you may have heard that I finally installed board and batten in the hallway!

Now that I’ve covered all the projects we accomplished (and what’s still left unfinished) in 2021, I can focus on all the projects we want to tackle in 2022!

At the beginning of 2021, I took a look back at the projects we completed in our first year of living in this house. I also shared our project goals for the rest of 2021. I thought this year it might be fun to break down where all those planned projects ended up, including the project we tackled that didn’t even make our original list! Let’s dive in.

If you’ve been following along, you know that we’ve been renovating the loft and the drywall was recently finished. Well, during the 3+ weeks it took for the drywall to be completed, I kept myself busy doing as much as I could in the hallway - and I have updates!
