a home decor blog, making it pretty one space at a time
I have an awkward spot in my backyard. It’s shady so things won’t grow well, there’s a lot of random concrete, and I haven’t known what to do with it. Since renovating my bathroom, we took out the old clawfoot tub. So I figured it could stay outside! And I could decorate it to make it cute. Here’s some outdoor tub ideas!
I’ve been working on my bathroom and one thing it’s missing- is a door. To save space and to help showcase a focal point, I thought I’d use double doors.

This would also work with bi-fold doors.
We’ve been working on our bathroom renovation for a few months now. I decided that for the clawfoot tub, I’d like to add an alcove and really make that part of the room look special. I thought I’d share how to create a bathtub nook in case you like this look and would like to recreate it too.
I’m redoing my bathroom. For the vanity, I’m using the Ikea Hermes vanity. It’s plain, but has good bones. I thought I could dress it up with scallops at the bottom, trimmed out drawers, new knobs, paint, and carved flower onlays. So today, I’m showing you my Ikea bathroom vanity hack in case you want to try this out too.
A few months ago, I came up with the DIY of how to turn board games to books. It’s been popular because it solves the problem that board games are ugly to look at and hard to store. I mostly use linen book boxes for the base of this project, but they’re expensive and only come in a few sizes. Here’s how to make book cloth to use cardboard book boxes to hold games.
I’ve been redoing my bathroom and it’s time to lay tile on the floor. I don’t want to install just any tile, I want something special! So I choose a gorgeous floral mosaic in a really pretty pattern. It’s been custom made for my space over 4 weeks and now it’s been shipped and ready to put into the room. Ready to learn how to install mosaic tile?!
For years I’ve really wanted to learn stained glass. I was reading a book on it when I found a class in my area and signed up immediately! It felt like a sign that it was the time to learn. I loved the class and decided to invest in supplies and some patterns. I thought I’d give you tips on getting started as a beginner stained glass artist if you’re interested too.
My bathroom is under construction so I need a place to get ready and do my makeup while its being worked on. I only have a small space so I thought the Brimnes vanity from Ikea would be a good idea since it’s narrow and small and it has a built in mirror and drawers. And now, let’s begin on this DIY- the Ikea hack dressing table.
I love that vintage cakes are making a comeback! I thought I’d embrace the trend and teach you how to make a fake cake. This decorative piece is cute AND can be used to store jewelry. It’s made with spackle instead of frosting so it can harden and be used forever. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make one.
