a home decor blog, making it pretty one space at a time
The last One Room Challenge I did was my laundry room. I love that space, but redoing a room in 6 weeks is a lot of stress. Even though it’s hard, I miss it! This round of the ORC is perfect timing for redoing my Florida kitchen. Can I really finish this room in 6 weeks- technically 5 since we can’t start demo until next week? Well, I sure hope so!
Last January I announced that I bought a house in Florida and our family would be snowbirds- we’d spend the winter in Florida and the summer in Utah. I was pleasantly surprised to hear from lots of people who had dreams to do the same! Today we’re headed back to Florida so I thought I’d talk about the pros and cons of being a snowbird.
At the beginning of summer, I decided that I really wanted to build a playhouse for Don. First of all, there isn’t much for him to do in our yard (besides a sand pit). Also, one thing I really value is encouraging Don on his passions. He loves paleontology and I thought the playhouse could be the hub where we celebrate that interest. Here’s the playhouse reveal!
In a few days we head to Florida for the winter! I have been busy packing and finishing projects and making sure the house is ready to rent out. So when I needed a break, I went thrifting even though I probably didn’t have the time or space for more things. But I was picky with my finds and am excited to show you my latest thrift haul!
My kitchen countertop was a huge mess. Mostly because I bought herbs and never did anything with them. So I decided to make a fun project with them! I thought I’d use some items from the Dollar Store and see what I could create! I do love a good challenge. Here’s my Dollar Store DIY indoor herb garden
For my rainbow tile bathroom, I wanted to try something new- how about two curtains on one shower rod? I like this look because with a little more effort and money, I can get a much more high end look! There were a few small tricky things so I thought I’d write a tutorial in case one of you wants to try to make a DIY Double Shower Curtain.
The time is here! The day is now! Ready to see the rainbow tile bathroom reveal?! It’s been a year and a half since we took a room down to the studs. So redoing this bathroom so throughly has felt momentous! Every inch of this room has been lovingly updated and I can’t wait to show off all the special touches.
My porch is long and skinny and hard to decorate. I used to have a bench on the porch, but after I moved it to the fire pit area, it’s been empty. We’ve been missing that spot to sit so I’ve been on the lookout for a replacement piece of furniture. I figured a rocking chair would be perfect- especially if I could make it rainbow! Here’s how I did that and I’m going to share some tips for how to repair furniture scratches.
I’ve been working hard on our bathroom. For the vanity I wanted to do something unique while saving money and using a quality piece of furniture. It took awhile (mostly because the vanity space is so small), but I found the perfect vintage cabinet! I thought I’d show you how to use a repurposed furniture as a DIY Bathroom vanity
I’ve been on a kick of making Anthropologie dupes. I love their stuff, but it is SO fun to make a version of my own. This week, I spotted an amazing picture frame for $24. I thought that I could make one from a thrifted frame, so I set out! Here’s how to make a DIY fabric picture frame.
