DIY Picture Ledge for art in our Kitchen
Finally did something on the large open wall in our kitchen! We built a picture ledge for all our fun kitchen art! Why didn't I do this sooner? This was my original plan when I designed the kitchen. I had even created a design plan with all the art I wanted to use on the picture ledge. Then when our kitchen was finished I just ended up putting the art all around the kitchen. Today we gathered it all together and made a simple picture ledge. Kevin went to Home Depot and had them cut pieces of this maple wood to the size we wanted. They charge by the liner square foot and our Home ... Read More
Small Master Bedroom Makeover
I was talking to my neighbor the other day and she mentioned that they swapped bedrooms with their daughter. They wanted to give her space for a desk in her bedroom for distance learning. Such kind, selfless parents. Now they were left with the smallest bedroom for a master. I couldn't help but offer to make it over and make it something they would just love, no matter the size. They are the kindest people and we wanted to give back to them somehow. First we started with the design plan…. Thank you The Home Depot for sponsoring this post Master Bedroom Plan #1- Floral wallpaper / ... Read More

Fall Decor Ideas in our Living Room
I took a couple hours to refresh our front room for fall! I really just moved things around from one room to the next. Honestly seasonl changes should just feel like changes, they don't have to be bought at a certain isle at the store. I do like adding texture for fall and richer colors. Let's see how I did... Living Room Quick Before Photo- Living Room After Photo with Fall- The only new thing I bought were these velvet pillow covers. Everything else I just moved around. And yes, when I move things it ends up being a domino effect! Which isn't a bad things, breaths new life ... Read More
Why you should paint your storm door and 4 ways to create a fall porch
Imagine you are all ready for a fancy date night. Perfect dress, shoes, accessories, etc. Everything is cohesive in complimentary shades of color. Then you realize it is raining so you throw on an old white rain coat.. You may be dry, but it sort of ruined the look, right? Your home's exterior is a lot like that! If your storm door doesn't match the color of your front door, you may be drawing attention to the wrong thing! Storm doors serve a purpose and they sure are nice to have, but you don't want it screaming to the street or to stick out like a sore thumb! Thank you The Home Depot ... Read More
Finn’s Bunk Bed Bedding
Did you catch my latest blog post?? We added bunk beds to Finn's room! Now that they are built, I get to do my favorite part, add the finishing touches! AKA the bedding!!!

The white window pane duvet cover was my starting off point, and the reason we could g ... Read More
Built In Bunkbed DIY for $500
We have guests a lot. We LOVE it. It is one of the ways we stay connected with our family who all live a few thousand miles away. I have posted about how we operate guests in our small cape before, but I have always felt like we could do a little better in Finn's room. Although his trundle-style daybed was nice, when our guests came, it would take up the entire room. The final nudge to switch up the sleeping arrangements in Finn's room came when his bed was a little damaged in our basement flood during renovations. Bunk beds have gotten a major upgrade lately with a minimal custom look ... Read More
Our Top Tools for Every Home DIY Project
I watched Kevin in awe as he created Finn's built in bunk beds! I mean, what can't he do? My favorite part was when he told me "If I can do this, ANYONE can." This is SO TRUE! Kevin is smart and hard working, but doesn't have a building background. The only experience he has is the stuff you see him build-- He learns as he goes!! He is confident and problem-solving and those traits (and access to youtube) is really all you need to accomplish almost every DIY home project! You have seen us hang board and batten in this dining room. Kevin learned how to bury our tramp, install tile on our ... Read More
Bike Shed and Garbage Shed
As most of you know…we don't have a garage with this 1950's house. It was a big adjustment when we moved from our Utah home that had an attached garage. Actually a lot of homes around us don't have attached garages, and if they have a garage it ends up being a storage shed. We had a shed, but we took it down with intentions to build a shed then it turned into a mini home gym (I think I should say shed one more time:) shed. There is storage behind the gym for our lawnmower and yard tools, but we were lacking bike storage! Plus I have wanted a place to hide our garbages for awhile now, so we ... Read More
