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!

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…

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…

REFINISHING OUR DECK | DIY RESTORATION

Posted on September 17, 2021March 6, 2023 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…

I cannot tell you how GOOD it feels so good to be back with another easy DIY! So much has happened since January, but also not a whole lot has been accomplished.

AFFORDABLE KITCHEN ORGANIZERS | AMAZON FINDS

Posted on January 28, 2021March 6, 2023 by Megan

Organizing is really “on trend” right now, which is kind of my dream come true. Bins, baskets, drawers… These are a few of my favorite things.

BUILDING A PICTURE FRAME LEDGE FOR $20

Posted on December 5, 2019March 6, 2023 by Megan

What do you do with the wall above your couch? Our old hand-me-down pull out couch works super well, functionally, on living room wall, but the space above the couch had us stumped for a while. I love photo gallery walls, but I already have two (three?) around the house and it would require a…

Saturday mornings at our house are usually busy with odd jobs and small projects. A week or so ago, I took a trip to IKEA with my best friend and picked up three of the BEKVÄM spice racks for $4.99 each! Well, they’re called spice racks, but I’ve seen them more commonly used as bookshelves….
