Refinishing Deck DIY after

REFINISHING OUR DECK | DIY RESTORATION

Posted on September 17, 2021December 9, 2021 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…

REPLACING OUR BASEMENT PATIO DOOR | DIY INSTALL

Posted on August 6, 2020December 9, 2021 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…

5 IDEAS FOR CLOSET DECLUTTERING AND ORGANIZING

Posted on July 31, 2020December 9, 2021 by Megan

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…

DIY PAINTED PILLOW COVER

Posted on July 24, 2020December 9, 2021 by Megan

In my humble opinion- the more pillows, the better. My only beef with pillows is that they can be expensive! Where can a girl find cheap decorative pillows around here?? My other dilemma is that sometimes I’ll get this idea of what I want only to find out that it doesn’t exist. So I had…

RENOVATING AND ORGANIZING OUR COAT CLOSET

Posted on July 21, 2020December 9, 2021 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…

Baby boy colorful teal nursery, whimsical, fun

FUN AND COLORFUL NURSERY ROOM TOUR

Posted on July 17, 2020July 17, 2020 by Megan

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…

DIY GIANT PEGBOARD WALL SHELF

Posted on July 9, 2020December 9, 2021 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…

CHOOSING A PAINT COLOR FOR THE NURSERY

Posted on June 11, 2020July 7, 2020 by Megan

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…

DIY MODERN GEOMETRIC FLOOR LAMP FOR THE NURSERY

Posted on June 8, 2020December 9, 2021 by Megan

If you saw our last post about nursery inspiration, you’ll remember the mood board I made for Baby #2’s nursery. Gracing this mood board was an exceptionally beautiful tripod lamp from Target. It was everything I wanted except for the fact that it was expensive… too expensive for our nursery budget. I mean- it was…

HOW WE’RE PLANNING THE NEW NURSERY + INSPIRATION PICTURES

Posted on May 28, 2020July 7, 2020 by Megan

While I’m sitting here in the nursery staring at four different paint swatches on the wall, I thought it’d be fun to share our nursery planning process. I’ve been allll over the place deciding on a theme for the new room. For C’s room, I knew exactly what I wanted to do right away. This…
