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…
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…
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…
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.

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. The only problem with trendy things is the inevitable markup. Organizers are so expensive- it can be nearly impossible to make a dent in your project without a major…
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….
We have made a huge amount of progress on our DIY retaining wall project this week and wanted to share a fun before and after! Thanks to a rototiller borrowed from my dad, we were able to break up the weeds and rocks that were slowing us down. We also found an old bush stump,…
