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 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…
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…
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…
I’ve had the decluttering bug ever since we renovated our coat closet last week. Emptying cabinets, organizing toys, labeling boxes… no storage space is safe. This week I turned my attention to our neglected, cavernous, and dusty bedroom closet. I love to clean and organize, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have areas that get…
Doesn’t every house have a nondescript coat closet? Largely ignored and overly stuffed with junk? We did not have plans to renovate our entryway closet, but as luck would have it, we ended up with a spare closet organizer. A certain pregnant lady lacking her usual brain power ordered the wrong size organizer for the…
Teal? Whimsical? Animals… and a few mushrooms? So the theme may have gotten away from me, but this nursery has been such a joy to decorate. My only rules for myself were to keep it colorful, keep it fun, and keep it on budget. That’s why for the past several weeks, we’ve been DIY-ing like…
We officially celebrated our 1 year “blog-iversary” this month! Hard to believe we’ve been documenting our house projects for a whole year, but at the same time it feels like a decade’s worth of things of changed since July 2019. The world looks a whole lot different than it did last summer! Let’s take trip…
We have been keeping busy with lots of mini projects in the nursery! Now that we’re super close to finishing up, I thought I’d update here. If I don’t, my nursery room tour post might be 6 years long and who really wants to hear about our outlet choices during a room tour?? First up…
Choosing a paint color for a room is one of the hardest parts of redecorating. We picked up dozens of teal paint swatches for the new nursery to compare to my nursery “mood board”. Comparing a color online vs. on a chip vs. on the wall and then vs. the whole painted wall in various…
