Although I haven't posted here for the past two days, I hope you were able to catch some of the master bedroom renovation we did on Instagram Stories this week! It was an intense, but fun, 12 hour day that ended […]

The $100, 20 minute, Upgrade that Seriously Amped up our Curb Appeal
In, literally, less than 20 minutes and for $120 we completely upgraded our curb appeal this weekend. And to be honest, we're so embarrassed we didn't do this sooner! Last summer, I remember pinning a DIY project about building out a standard 4x4 mailbox post with trim and a cap to make it look so […]

World Market challenged us to makeover a small space, preferably a kids' space, and we found the perfect candidate. In our own homes' design plans this year, we had the idea of transforming a closet […]

Three Problem Areas in Our Home We Solved in An Afternoon
This post is sponsored by Legrand. There were three problem areas in our home that were a constant source of frustration for Chris and I. One of them, we've talked about extensively (the bunk bed lighting situation--we'll get there in a minute), but, I'm excited to say, we easily fixed all three of these problems in […]
