DIY PITTED CONCRETE FLOOR PATCH | GARAGE RENOVATION

Posted on March 20, 2023March 20, 2023 by Megan

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…

INSTALLING A POP UP DRAIN | DIY BURIED DOWNSPOUT

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

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 BASEMENT PATIO DOOR | DIY INSTALL

Posted on August 6, 2020March 6, 2023 by Megan

This DIY project has been a long time coming. We ordered this patio door for our basement (along with the lumber for our mini shed and new basement windows) back in April. It was one of our “bored and in quarantine” impulse buys. Some people buy clothes and gadgets- we buy doors! I should also…

RENOVATING AND ORGANIZING OUR COAT CLOSET

Posted on July 21, 2020March 6, 2023 by Megan

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…

DIY GIANT PEGBOARD WALL SHELF

Posted on July 9, 2020March 6, 2023 by Megan

I swear to you guys- when I told Tyler I wanted to hang a pegboard over the dresser in the nursery he looked at me like I’d finally lost my baby brain marbles. He doesn’t spend much time on Pinterest except to look at garage things, so I’m sure he was picturing a standard shop…

Posted on May 21, 2020March 6, 2023 by Megan

Spring rains are upon us here in Missouri. Everyday this week has been misty and muggy. Weeds are thriving right now, and I know we complain about our unwanted plants a lot, but the worst of them all are the invasive bush honeysuckle. If you live on basically any continent that’s not Asia, you’ve seen…
