When I finished up the 2022 fall One Room Challenge (ORC) a few months ago I mentioned that there were a couple of outstanding items I didn't get to before it ended. One of those items was building doors for the cabinet above the washer and dryer. Well, I'm excited to say that they're now complete!

Everyone has been bothered by the occasional gnat flying around their face. But if you have houseplants, that little gnat could actually be a big problem. In this post, I’m breaking down how I eliminated my fungus gnat infestation, and how to prevent it from happening again in the future.

Last week I shared that we bought a new building that will be used as my husband’s real estate brokerage - and it needs a LOT of work. Today I'm sharing the design of the first room we'll be tackling: the lobby and reception area!

Yes, folks, you read that right. We bought a hair salon! Are we getting into the hair styling business? Nope! Let me give you the skinny.

When you’re always working on a home project, sometimes it feels like you never actually accomplished anything. That’s why I like to pause at the beginning of each year and reflect on the projects we tackled the previous year to get some perspective. This is that post!

Last week I shared the reveal of our loft kitchenette - but how the heck did we hang shelves on the brick veneer? While hanging shelves on any sort of tile is terrifying - it’s totally doable! In this post, I’ll teach you the step-by-step process of how to hang shelves on a tile backsplash.

Before I created an entirely new laundry room for the One Room Challenge, my focus was finishing up projects around the house. One of those projects was the outstanding items in the loft. And while I’ve looped back around to working on it, I’m not ready to call the whole loft complete just yet. But I am excited to say that the kitchenette is finished!

Are you a late shopper? Me too! But there’s no need to panic - I’ve got you covered with these last-minute gift guides filled with items that you can still have delivered by the holidays!

t’s been a good three years since we moved into this house and A LOT has changed. Although I share bits and pieces of various rooms as we’re working on them, I’d say it’s about time for a good old house tour! Complete with lots of before and after comparisons, because those are just so dang fun - let’s jump in!

It’s hard to believe it, but we’ve reached the end of the One Room Challenge and the laundry room is done! Well… almost. I’ll get into that later.

Floating shelves are pretty stinkin’ cool. I mean, how are they even attached to the wall!? Looks like magic, if you ask me. Well, I uncovered the mystery this week when I made some for my laundry room renovation for the One Room Challenge. In this post, I’m sharing the step-by-step process I used to build my floating shelves!

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!
