Cabin Update - Exterior Stain & New Fireplaces

Up to now, "progress" in the cabin has looked more like destruction. Lots of things needed to be ripped out and redone, as a lot of the previous updates weren't exactly up to code. Would you like an example? You'd like an example: That's one of the bigger ones. A huge no-no. This is the […]

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 […]

How to Patch Holes in Drywall, Large and Small

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 […]

How to DIY a Built-In Electric Fireplace

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 […]

This post is part of a paid partnership with Lowe's.  Our garage has been a bit neglected over the past few years.
