I have a friend, Stacy, who has loads of personality and is so much fun! Unfortunately her home wasn’t reflecting her and she was ready for a change. Back in March, she was over at my house and mentioned she wanted a new sofa and rug for her family room. I like to start with a rug, and I was happy to find one that coordinated with the wallpaper we just added to her kitchen. And our go-to for decor, Target has a new Opalhouse collection, designed with Jungalow, that looks like it was curated specifically for this family room! Ready to see the before and after of her family room?? Thank ... Read More

House Plant Tour and Plant Care Tips
It's no secret, I am a big fan of houseplants. They add so much life to a room! And, if you get to know your little plant friend, aren't that hard to take care of. Recently I shared an article that 100% supports my plant addiction!! It said that NASA researchers have done studies on the best and most efficient ways to clean the air in space stations, and they recommend 18 plants for an 1800 square foot home or apartment. Plants can absorb toxins through their leaves and serve as a natural way to filter the air in your home! (article source). Does that convince you to buy some plants? Or make ... Read More
Master Bathroom Reveal with Claw Foot Tub
If I am totally honest, when we bought this home, one thing that I felt like I "gave up" was a private master bathroom. We'd been spoiled with this luxury in all of our previous homes. I was worried how I'd feel having the room that I bathed in also be the room guests used when they stop by. Still, we loved the bones of this home and we chose location and schools over size of home, and made it work. We made some improvements when we moved in to this main floor bathroom and I found myself quickly adjusting to using the hallway to get to my room. No biggie! When given the ... Read More

Dated Rock Fireplace turned Electric Shiplap Fireplace Makeover
My parents have lived in my childhood home since I was 1 years old, about 38 years! They recently knocked down a wall and opened up their living room and a spare bedroom to create a large great room. It is perfect for our large family of 4 kids and 10 grandkids! Not to mention they are very active in their community and church, so they host 20+ people regularly. I am thrilled they had a large space to entertain. When they opened up the space they added wood floors, a major update in itself, except for the dated rock wood burning fireplace. It was really a dark hole. They never burned a fire ... Read More
Easy Bedding Idea and Curtain Panel Tips- Bedroom Makeover
We are lucky enough to live around some really great people, who are way too kind about my ability to makeover a room. I had met Keith at our local CrossFit and he was cracking me up how he knew the term "Water Wednesday" and "Thirsty Thursday". So I knew he was a real fan. Ha. So when he and his wife Lauren, asked me to come over and help them with their guest room, I was game. I typically say no to design jobs, but I consider them friends. Also I told them if I can share their room makeover on my blog then that is the only way I will do it. I want to be able to help everyone, so my blog is ... Read More
Over 20 Painted Brick and Stone Transformations!
Whenever I visit my home state of Utah, I love to help friends and family finish up their spaces! I have shared a few of the spaces from my last trip already here and here, but this little space is something I haven’t shown you yet! This was pretty fun because my friend, Rachel, is usually a fearless DIY-er, but was SO SCARED to paint this stone fireplace! Last summer, while visiting, she asked me if I thought she should.. I told her "If this was my house, I would have painted it before I unpacked my underwear." We've been friends for a long time so she knew what I would say before she ... Read More
5 Simple Ways to Transform a Bedroom
Ready to transform your bedroom? Or just see a master bedroom I transformed for a friend?! Wish I could fly to each of your homes and transform them (only the people who wanted me to, obviously). So my friend, Molly reached out to me last summer to help her with her bedroom. And look how fast we are….a year later!! She does live 2,000 miles away from me and just had a baby (my kind of person "whenever you can get it it!"). After transforming her bedroom she told me how much she loved it and she also had a deeper reason for loving it, which is why I say I transformed her bedroom. She told me ... Read More
Grandkid Bunk Room
Hello from Utah! We are here enjoying summer with the kids and family. Lots of things to do and see. My kids keep me super busy and I don't have my handsome, helpful Kevin around, so I slow down on the blog. But today I have a really fun Grandkid Bunk Room Makeover that I helped my Mother-in-law do. She actually did most of the labor. I created a design plan for her a couple months ago and she implemented it. So it is kind-of fun to see how it can successfully be done with a design plan and some Marco Polo videos! Let's look at the before of the bedroom- Grandkid Bunk Bed Room ... Read More
