REMOVING A HALF WALL | OPEN CONCEPT KITCHEN

Posted on November 14, 2022November 14, 2022 by Megan

Our house was built in the 1960’s with all the quirks and character of the era, including an open square kitchen with a dividing half wall. The wall was positioned right in front of the two most high traffic areas in our house- the fridge doors and the pantry doors. Needless to say, it was…

A quick solution is to grab a plastic downspout extension from any Home Depot or Lowes and direct the flow away from your house. But if your doers like us and you want to get your hands a little dirty, then let me introduce you to the pop up drainage emitter…

INSTALLING GUTTER GUARD | EASYON REVIEW

Posted on June 28, 2022November 4, 2022 by Megan

They say April showers bring May flowers, but it seemed for us that April showers just brought more May showers. Our old house was surrounded by tall trees and our gutters would constantly get clogged with leaves and forest gunk until we installed EasyOn Gutter Guard. We had such great success with the gutter guard…

REPLACING OUR ATTIC HATCH | DIY INSTALL

Posted on January 5, 2022January 5, 2022 by Megan

Our first DIY in the new house… installing a new attic hatch with a ladder! What an exciting place to start, huh?? Let me explain. When we moved, the last room we packed was the garage which means everything in it made the least organized exit. Our tools and other garage junk exploded at the…

MAKING A WOODEN TREE COLLAR | CHRISTMAS DIY

Posted on December 7, 2021December 9, 2021 by Megan

Wow, Crate and Barrel really does me in sometimes- I love the modern yet cozy look of their decor. A few weeks ago saw a photo of a wooden tree collar that stole my heart but I knew I couldn’t spend $100 on something that went under our tree. So I set out to make…

PAINTING A TREE IN SNOW | CHRISTMAS DIY

Posted on December 6, 2021December 9, 2021 by Megan

‘Tis the season of inspiration overload and open wallets. About one week into the holiday season, I start to feel that anxiety creeping in about money being spent, activities undone, and the halls still undecked with boughs of holly. It’s hard to keep up with this fleeting season. Every Christmas I try to add to…

5 EASY DIY IDEAS FOR YOUR HOUSE

Posted on October 25, 2021December 9, 2021 by Megan

If you could climb inside my brain, you would hear a constant buzzing of DIY house project ideas that I want to tackle. In fact, just yesterday we were driving home from church and I said, out of the blue, “I think I’m going to tear up all of the carpet tomorrow.” And Tyler reminded…

WE MOVED! | WHEN, WHERE, AND WHY?

Posted on September 28, 2021December 9, 2021 by Megan

To put it simply, we had too much. Too much house, too much yard, too much time and money spent… We try our best to be aware when something is taking too much of our resources, and not just in time and money, but energy, attention, space in our brains, etc. That’s where we were at with our old home. It’s a beautiful home, with a nice yard, lots of space, a great location… and yet, we weren’t happy because we were stretched thin…

REFINISHING OUR DECK | DIY RESTORATION

Posted on September 17, 2021December 9, 2021 by Megan

I know, I know… “Weren’t you finishing your basement?” The answer is- yes. But if you’ve been to any store that sells lumber in the past year, you would know that prices are outrageous. We finished insulating and framing most of the outside walls before we ran out of lumber and decided we should wait…

CLEANING OUR SIDING | MOLD ARMOR REVIEW

Posted on June 13, 2021December 9, 2021 by Megan

The siding on the backside of our house never gets sun and tends to get really grimy with dust, tree pollen, and who knows what else. Shade to spread and organic matter to eat is all mold and mildew need to be happy. This year we let the grime get kind of out of hand…
