This post is part of a paid partnership with Lowe's. Over the past year we have swapped out our garage doors, garage door openers, and put an epoxy coat on the floor. The saga finally came to a close this week as we finished all the garage organization, and I can't even express how happy […]
I always have a few cups of this sauce in my freezer, because it can be used for dozens of quick, delicious dishes. And when you make the sauce yourself, you get to control the salt and sugar content, which equals more health to you. Equipment used: Cutting Board Knife Cast Iron Pot Wooden Spoon […]

This post is sponsored by Lowe's. Decks built using dimensional lumber are super affordable, but they can also take quite a beating. If you have a deck that is due for a new coat of stain or has fallen out of repair, like our friends', here are some tips for fixing, prepping and staining that […]
This post is sponsored by Mixtiles. There's a special offer for ALL of our readers at the bottom of the post. There has always been a blank wall in the corner of the playroom that I've been meaning to tackle, but just kind of waiting for inspiration to strike. And then last week, I thought, what if […]
I hear from a lot of people that have a major fear of putting a hole in their walls. Don't let a hole keep you from hanging art or curtains or mirrors or anything else! And at the same time, don't let a large hole dictate where something hangs just because you aren't sure how […]
This post is in partnership with MINWAX®. Ever since we made the art ledge in our living room four years ago, we've loved seeing them pop up in so many of your homes. They are such a functional way to display art, but finding one that is the perfect size for that wall in your […]

Back in June, we flew to Des Moines, IA on two separate occasions for 5 days at a time to film a fun online DIY series with Better Homes & Gardens called Win the Weekend. The series shows easy projects you can tackle in just two days to make over a bedroom, living room, basement […]
This is a dish that is good to have in your back pocket, because of how versatile it is. Rich flavors, but also amazingly light due to being mostly vegetables. Pair with pasta, polenta, rice, or just eat as-is. Watch the full video for this recipe. A simple dish that can be turned into a […]
This project is part of a paid partnership with Lowe's. Most homes (just ours?) have that awkward corner or space that just doesn't seem to have much use, or don't decorate well. These areas often benefit most from custom, built-in elements, and with fall approaching fast, we decided to add a built-in electric fireplace to […]
We are celebrating 5 years of living in and renovating and loving our home. It's hard to believe it's been 5 years, but then I think about all the milestones we've hit while living here (we brought home 2 babies!) and all the changes we've made and it's crazy we haven't lived here longer. Last night, we […]
A few weeks ago, we revealed all of the after pictures of our master bathroom and then a week later, we tallied up every last invoice and receipt and shared how much it actually cost. Since then, we have received countless messages and DMs requesting a "low version" of our bathroom (similar to what we did for […]
This post is part of a paid partnership with Lowe's. Our garage has been a bit neglected over the past few years. It has served as a catch-all for everything project related, with random clean times here and there where we were actually able to park our cars inside it. But now that we've finished almost […]
Letterboards are all over Instagram (and yet somehow I didn't put them on this list!), so that can only mean one thing--the start of school is among us. It starts tomorrow for us and I rounded up a few things to motivate, organize and decorate your home for the season. (Back to school is totally […]
We don't show the other side of our room very often, mostly because we still haven't really figured it out. A couple years ago, we added a TV to the relatively small recessed wall section and despite what all of those studies say, WE LOVE HAVING A TV IN OUR ROOM! We don't have cable, but we […]
Our closet is installed, trimmed out and loaded up and I'm so excited to share all the after photos with you today. (Psst! There's a video tour inside the closet and every other drawer in the bathroom on CLJTV right here). While we went all out in our bathroom, as you may have read in […]
This post is sponsored by eBay! It was during our long road trip to Lake Tahoe over the fourth of July, and all the car messes 3 little girls can make, and sitting on crumbs as I moved from chair to chair trying to keep everyone happy, that I announced, "As soon as we get […]
