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…

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…

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…

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…

CREEK BRIDGE DESIGN AND BATTLING INVASIVE BUSH HONEYSUCKLE

Posted on May 21, 2020July 7, 2020 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…

LAYING A MULCH BORDER UNDER OUR FENCE

Posted on May 11, 2020December 9, 2021 by Megan

Working in our backyard is a complicated effort to establish a boundary between a nice lawn and a healthy wooded area. We love our trees and forest-y creatures, but we also want to have a lush grassy space for our family to romp around. Our fenced area is what we call our “backyard”. Beyond the…

Mini shed completed

WE BUILT A MINI SHED FOR OUTDOOR TOYS

Posted on May 4, 2020December 9, 2021 by Megan

I never thought I’d say this, but we built a shed entirely for toddler toys. And you can bet your Cozy Coupe we’ve already filled it! You wouldn’t believe how useful a 6′ x 3′ space with a roof can be! This endeavor began when 1) we realized we couldn’t walk around our garage without…
