EASY DIY BABY GATE | BUILD PLAN

Posted on April 20, 2023April 20, 2023 by Megan

The entry door from our garage dumps into in a little landing, flanked by doors on three sides. Like any good Midwestern family, we (and most everyone who visits) enter through the garage, which means they are greeted by the long staircase into our basement. I worry about our family and friends tumbling down the…

Do you have pitted floors in your garage? The most common place to see damaged concrete is on the edge of the slab, right under the garage door. If you’ve ever seen water or pests creeping in under the door, you probably have the same problem as we did!

Bifold Doors to Double Doors Kitchen Pantry Before and After DIY

TURNING A BIFOLD DOOR INTO DOUBLE DOORS | KITCHEN PANTRY

Posted on March 6, 2023March 7, 2023 by Megan

Bifold doors have their place, but in my opinion, the less you have to open them the better. Naturally, having a bifold pantry door wasn’t working out for us. Especially with small kiddos with pinchable fingers who are always searching for their next snack. So today we’re going to turn our bifold door into double…

REMOVING A HALF WALL | OPEN CONCEPT KITCHEN

Posted on November 14, 2022March 6, 2023 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…

INSTALLING A POP UP DRAIN | DIY BURIED DOWNSPOUT

Posted on July 11, 2022March 6, 2023 by Megan

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, 2022March 6, 2023 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, 2022March 6, 2023 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, 2021March 6, 2023 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, 2021March 6, 2023 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…
