One of my best friends, Laila, moved into her new home, with her family, about 4 months ago. I had sent her some leftover wallpaper I had from another project to use somewhere in her home. It is a wallpaper that really could look great anywhere! She ended up deciding to use the wallpaper in her laundry room. But kept putting off installing it for all the reasons many of us put off projects- we just don't know where to start and it seems overwhelming! While we were in Utah for Christmas we went over to hang out at Lailas with my other friend Stacy. Of course we can't just let her ... Read More
Mini Affordable Living Room Update with Joanna Gaines Wallpaper
My parents have lived in the home I grew up in since I was about one. Friends have come and gone, but they are just happy where they are. Their yard is great with a garden and bees and the location is very central to everything including family and work. But what wasn't working was their entertaining space, it was very chopped up. And with how much they host, they needed a wall to come down!!! Below is the photos of what their space looked like before. You would walk into a living room on the left, with a wall on your right separating an unused bedroom that they had two recliners ... Read More

Laundry Room Makeover with Tempaper Removable Wallpaper and Painted Laminate
I haven't ever made over a laundry room before! Isn't that crazy? Our laundry room is in our un-finished basement, that will never be finished (flood zone). So I thought offering a laundry room makeover to a friend would be a fun way to share something new with you! Personally I LOVE a good laundry room, I am always saving photos of laundry room inspiration and laundry room ideas for my dream laundry room (one day!). So I was ready to take on this space. With any makeover I always start with an inspiration piece, in this space it was the removable wallpaper. This laundry room makeover was fun ... Read More
Master Bedroom Makeover with Home Office
Master Bedroom Makeover coming at you today! This bedroom has been a long time in the making! I made over this then clients home (now friend) when we moved to Connecticut about 3 years ago. I looked at doing her entire home and knew we would do it in stages, with the master bedroom being last on the list. Isn't that always the case? I do agree that you want to do your main living areas first, then tackle the bedrooms. But how nice would it be to have a sanctuary to relax in first? You might remember this home, everything is was thrifted! And this master bedroom is no exception, besides a ... Read More
Marie Kondo Monday- Bathroom Update!
As you know I have been doing Marie Kondo Monday's here and this week we are covering our bathroom! I had a Kon Marie Consultant (I talked about HERE). Come over to my home and help me tackle our bathroom closet. I tell you what, I learned how important the process of following Marie Kondo's method is! Believe it or not I have organized my bathroom before. I organized it right after I read her book. But I did not follow her steps exactly. I have heard people talk about how they don't like Marie Kondo's method because there are "too many rules" or it seems unrealistic. First of ... Read More
Bedroom Makeover- Dark Furniture to Bright White with Wallpaper Accent Wall
I am so, so, soooooo very excited to show you this bedroom makeover! This room belongs to neighbors and good friends of mine. We took their room from being dark and cramped to light and bright! Best part- we kept ALL the same furniture! We painted the dark wood bedroom set all white, did a little DIY to the headboard and wallpapered the main focal point wall with temporary wallpaper. It did NOT happen overnight. It took many hours to paint the furniture and I will share the details. And many hours on my part installing the wallpaper. But, the wallpaper really makes the room feel complete ... Read More

Girls Shared Bedroom NEW Blue Waves Wallpaper
I am very excited to share the girls bedroom changes with you. They both love it so much and so do I! Right now this is my favorite room in our house, but ask me after the next room I update! After I finished decorating it I kept coming up here at random times just to smile! If you missed it, I shared the WHY behind the little changes on a recent blog post. Basically Ella wanted her own room and it boiled down to the fact that she wanted to decorate it with more blue and wanted an exciting change. There is no way she would want to sleep by herself. The girls really love sharing a room ... Read More

Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post Yesterday on the blog I shared the design plan for this girls shared bedroom. Well, I got it done faster than I thought I would and get to share it today with you!

Best of all Amy, (the homeowner) gasped when she walked in! She ... Read More
