We have one teeny accent wall in our dining room that houses two former DIY projects: the console table and the mirror we sprayed gold. It’s quickly become the most worked over spot in our house and we’re not done yet! After putting up pink tinsel on this wall for Christmas we decided this spaceContinue reading “Wall Flowers”

A few weeks ago I decided to be bold and paint a huge, beautiful rainbow on the blank wall in the playroom. “It will be easy!” I thought. “What could go wrong?” I asked myself as I scrolled through pictures of rainbow murals on Instagram and Pinterest. Wow. Wrong. It was way more challenging onceContinue reading “Time For A Rainbow”

We love to go antique shopping and in doing that we often see things we want but can’t afford. In this case we were on the hunt for a console table to sit under our mirror in the dining room. The space is super small so finding the perfect vintage piece that had the exactContinue reading “Console with Sparkle”

We had to remove the old one, clean the mold off the walls and replace it with something that’s a little more our style. Vanities at the big box stores didn’t seem to have the look we wanted.

With the antique hardware and orangey tinted wood it didn’t fit our Mid Century Modern-Boho-Unicorn vibe soooo……let’s hit up Home Depot and Amazon! I grabbed some spray paint I thought would look good next to my peach, clearance Ikea curtains andContinue reading “Make An Old Desk Look Cool Again!”

I cleared the branches away and burned them Next I cleared out a lot of the concrete chunks and started edging a bigger area to make a prettier shape. Wait a minute these concrete chunks sort of look like rocks….I’ll use them! After edging I lined the concrete chunks up as a border – free!Continue reading “Landscaping an Ugly Corner of the Yard”

“What’s a berm?” “Why are you building that?” “What’s the reason again?” These are some of the questions I get when I tell people we’re taking dirt from the back yard and walking it in a wheelbarrow to the front yard to build a berm. Here’s our house “Before” AND AFTER! This is the areaContinue reading “So What’s a Berm Again?”

After renting apartments all my life it’s easy to say I’m VERY comfortable calling the landowner or Super when things go wrong. Robbie, on the other hand is a true DIY’er. If a faucet is leaking or the ceiling starts to crack his first instinct is to grab his tool belt and run to theContinue reading “HOW WE MADE BEAUTIFUL SHELVES FOR $6”

I ALMOST missed these beauties at Savers because they looked so dingy but Robbie spotted them on our way out. They were the right height for a bar we want to make in our dining room. Even though the bar doesn’t exist yet we knew at $20 each they were too good to pass up!Continue reading “From Thrift to Boutique! How We Quickly Cleaned These Barstools To Look Fabulous”
