Black Bench Makeover

Okay, so I did this project back in the summer, but I’m just now sharing it. Of course, anytime is good for a spray paint project. Though maybe you should use a paint tent in the garage if it’s in the middle of winter … just maybe. And look how happy our pumpkins look on […]

Knobs on Everything! (plus tips to install)

If you want to make a statement in a room or with a piece of furniture, changing out hardware like drawer pulls and knobs can make a big impact. Or adding them in the first place helps too! In my opinion, if something needs to be opened and closed, it needs a knob! Knobs on […]

Update Boring Frames To Create A More Exciting Collage Wall

I have this terrible habit of waiting a long time to show you my projects! I finished my collage wall last summer!! The finished wall is probably my favorite wall in the entire house. It was a labor of love and I planned it for so long while I was pregnant, sitting in the recliner […]

Antique Table Re-do

My dad says he remembers when his Mom, my grandma, got this table. He remembers it as some of the furniture of his childhood. My dad is pretty much as sentimental as they come, so it was meaningful for him to have this table in our home growing up. So of course, I remember it […]

Hide Your Storage

Hmmm … just a nice little entry table … or so it seems … Storage in general is the most basic issue in organizing any home. Finding the perfect spot for our TV remotes or cell phones doesn’t matter a ton in the long run. Things we are constantly using are shifting so much it […]
