Easiest Painting EVER (inside of our shed)

Yesterday I shared the miracle of the shed being built in one day. We went from grass to shed before my kids got home from school. After the shed was built, but before we could start putting stuff in it, I wanted to paint the inside. Why would I want to paint the inside of […]

Master Closet Remodel Progress

When we moved in last fall, the layout of the closet was terrible. The bars and shelves were not in sensible locations. We knew the closet was plenty big, the space was just used so terribly. We dealt with it for a few months, but it was causing a domino effect of issues. Because we […]

An Easy Little Trick to Picking Paint Colors

Before we moved into this house last summer, I had the whole thing painted. Choosing a color before I’d even lived in the space seemed a little daunting. I’ve chose paint colors for houses we were building, but then I could take months thinking about it and comparing paint colors to cabinetry and floor samples. […]

My Epoxy Garage Floor

This is not a “HOW TO” because I actually paid someone to do this before we moved into our new house. I do not regret paying someone, moving is a crazy enough time, I can’t imagine adding the need to “do it all myself” – yikes. There is a big difference between garage floor paint […]

Collage Wall (Musical Chair Style)

After we moved in and un-packed, I had piles of frames that needed to find a place on a wall or go bye-bye. So I made my best effort to pick different walls for the different groupings of pictures. Unfortunately, I did not get it right on the first go around … but putting it […]

Patch and Paint Nail Holes

So, I put up a collage wall, and then hated where it was, so I moved it to a different wall. Also, we replaced the old curtain rods and moved the brackets. All of that meant a lot of nail holes to patch up on the walls of the living room. This was actually a […]

That time we added a window into brick.

When we found our new house, we were looking for a needle in a haystack. We wanted to downsize from our last house, but ideally also have a separate bedroom for each of our 4 kids. We were able to make this house fit our wants because there was a media room that could reasonably […]

So we’re building … again.

7 years ago when we were still in Northwest Arkansas, we custom built a house we lived in for only 5 years. The process was stressful, and as a result, I said I’d never do it again. Our home search was going pretty rough. But then I walked through a model home from Highland Home […]

Lighting Change (And picking the right light bulb.)

Does lighting make a big difference? And I don’t just mean changing out fixtures? Does the amount of light or color of light make a difference? I’m guessing in your head right now you’re thinking … absolutely. Lighting, fixtures and light bulbs, can change the difference in how a room feels as dramatically as changing […]

I’m drowning in un-finished projects

I did that thing I always say not to do. Of course, I thought “I can handle this” and “I’ve got it planned perfectly!” But then, life happened. And I’m in the middle of about 5 million projects. Instead of having tons of posts this week with all the finished projects, I can show you […]
