DIYing furniture doesn’t always mean cutting, building and assembling but could also mean an easy painting technique to completely transform the look and style. See how to easily update a guest room side table with the trendy farm cottage look with the help of some sand paper and chalk paint. When looking for a new home, we wanted to, of course, have more space for our family to spread out and play, but also make sure we had a true guest room for my parents when they come down to visit. I’m happy that we were able to find a place that fit both those wishes but that also meant we needed to invest in some items to make it comfortable for our guests. We were lucky to reuse furniture and items already in our home and DIY some elements to update the guest room. The room is a bit tight for a queen sized bed so we went with a full sized one Derek had at his ... Continue Reading...

We’ve painted several rooms and he’s added new taller trim in most of these spaces. Our plans have changed in some rooms and plenty, of course, we haven’t even touched. I plan to go through some room reveals down the room when I feel like rooms are more finalized so this is really just a basic overview post on some spaces that look different than 6 months ago. When we first moved in ... Continue Reading...

When it came time to deciding on a room theme for each of the girls’ bedrooms in the new house, I paid attention to what I knew they already liked or what they mentioned they might want. Hailey is all into Ariel and mermaids these days so the Under the Sea theme she already had at the last house was going to transfer well to the new room. Brielle meanwhile is very indecisive if you ever ask her about a favorite anything so when I asked what colors she might want in her new room and she said “all of them” I knew rainbow was the right approach. We had a long lack of creative crafting experiences earlier this summer due to house staging, closing and ... Continue Reading...
