Hallway Update
A while ago, I posted the girls’ hall wall. It was one of the first spaces I did here, and it was a dedication to my babies. But a lot has changed since I did that wall. Sometimes, DIYs have to be updated to accommodate a new style, room, or even a new family member! We recently added a new little bundle of joy to our family! Our beautiful little girl, Whalen, came into the world in November of 2022. So our hall wall needed an update. This was the hallway after I made it over the first time. These are my 2 beautiful babies, and each clock has the…

Sweet Neutral Nursery Reno for a Sweet Baby Girl
When I found out we were expecting ANOTHER little girl, I immediately started planning the nursery! I knew I wanted something calming and serene. Somewhere I could go and snuggle this sweet baby and be able to just relax and feel cozy. After doing my little girls room in pink I knew I didn’t want another pink room but I did want to add a touch of something girly.

I started the room makeover by creating a fresh slate and removed everything from the room…

We Created a Linen Closet Out of Nothing!
Let me start out by saying we have ZERO linen closets in our home. Zero. Zippo. Zilcho. Nada. None! In the whole house! Upstairs or down in the basement. None. This was one of the things that irked me most in our home. Where do you put the towels and sheets and blankets!? Well most of it ended up in our closet. And for the girls bathroom we shoved them under the vanity. Was it the ideal situation? No. Did the towels get soaking wet when we had a random leak from the sink drain? You betcha! But we made it work. We didn’t have a choice. And one day…

Little Girls Room Floor to Ceiling Transformation
When we purchased our home we thought the first floor space was a good fit for us. With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the main level and tons of extra space in the basement, we figured everyone would have their space. But when we decided we wanted to grow our family we knew that would mean putting a little in the basement(uh no!) Or bunking our 2 oldest together! Luckily our secondary bedrooms are large and can accommodate 2 beds. So when we found out we were expecting again I started planning a joint little girls room fit for sisters. I wanted a cute feminine little girls room that…

The Power of Paint in a Living Room
When we moved into our house one of the spaces I loved was the living room! It was bare but I saw the potential of this space and loved its high ceilings. But I didn’t love the blue paint! I knew the living room paint was going to be one of the most inexpensive dramatic transformations we could make with the space. But I knew it’d be a task with the height of the ceilings. This is what the space looked like when we looked at the home. Before New Lighting There were a few things that weren’t my taste but one thing I didn’t love for this particular space…
