a home decor blog, making it pretty one space at a time

Hello! I know that decorating backpacks seems silly right now (on account of there not being school), but this is for a good cause! If I can do any good while I’m at home, it helps me feel like I’ve spent this time as well as I can. Plus, this is a great activity to do with kids! Or you can save this idea for the fall when, hopefully, school is back in session. [Read more…]
A few weeks ago I installed new wallpaper in my dining room. It’s everything I wanted in the space! I looooooove it! BUT it did make me realize what else I want to change. The wallpaper is perfect so now everything that isn’t great is terrible. If that makes sense ;). So I thought I’d show you how to paint shelf brackets.
Since one of those things was the shelf brackets. They were black and technically fine, but for my house, they were too bold and stood out too much. I figured gold would pull in the chandelier color so I decided to paint them. I’m trying to enjoy the smaller DIY’s where I use what I have on hand to upgrade my house and aren’t that complicated. This is one of those projects!
Hi friends! Last week I started sharing my favorite links and thoughts and ideas from the previous 7 days. It’s kind of a nice way to reflect on things! I thought I’d continue it.
This week I worked hard on my living room- painting one wall pink and the door pink as well. We installed a wall of trelliage and it’s looking so beautiful! Having a room I love means so much especially right now. Are you working on any projects? Keeping busy and making things is my therapy. [Read more…]
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve done a room reveal around here! I guess moving will do that to you. So, I figured now that I put the finishing touches in here and it’s finally feeling cozy, it’d be as good as timing as ever. Here’s my pink master bedroom room reveal!

Well hello! One of the things I’ve been trying to tackle lately has been all the clutter that Don gets in his room. Since he mostly collects lots of pieces of paper from his art, I thought a bulletin board would be a perfect solution! But, I also want it to look good in his room. So here’s how to makeover a bulletin board.
how to redo a patio- cheap ideas
It’s officially spring! I started working on my patio this weekend- I’ve been planning it for months. To be honest, I struggled with how to share about it- does anyone even care right now?! I know that there are much bigger things going on. It weighs heavily on me. But since the furniture is arriving and it gives me a bit of joy to spend time outside, I thought I’d still show the process.
Then I got this message-
Any tips on how to make a backyard space cute on a very limited budget? My space is so beige and blah and dead and I don’t even know where to begin

I figure lots of people are also itching for more happy places to spend the days while being stuck at home, so let’s dig in!
Well, what a year it’s been this week! 😂 I thought I’d share some of the things that I enjoyed the most this week with you.
Last week I received some art in the mail and they came in big boxes. I needed to recycle them, but thought- maybe I can make something with them? Since we’ve been inside more, might as well create a FREE place for my son to play! Here’s how to make a cardboard house for a kid.
When I was little, I could play house for hours. I loved pretending to be the mom and play doctor and make the news! I figured that with scissors, some boxes, and paint I could easily create a happy background for my son to make some happy memories too!
Let’s do a quick recap- my family moved to Florida from Utah in January 2020. We bought the home remotely- without even stepping a toe into the property. We relied on a video tour of the house from our realtor and an inspection. From the inspection we picked our battles on what to request fixes on. The inspection showed that the windows were screwed shut and that we’d need new hurricane windows.

Well, being a naive couple from Utah, we thought- how much could new windows cost?! So we focused on the owner fixing other more pressing matters and we figured we’d take care of the windows. How bad could they be? [Read more…]
One thing is working for my anxiety this week- staying busy. So I’ve been crafting up a storm over here! I love Easter so I thought it was time to add some decorations to the house. Easter is on April 12 this year, so a little over a month away which means it fine to decorate in my book! Here’s how I made some Easter crafts.
