We did it!! We finally finished our DIY painted and stenciled porch floor, and boy…it was a doozy to complete. A few years ago, we updated this space by adding more poured concrete and a pergola [HERE], and now it’s even more fun out here! If I had it to do over again, would I […]

After we reworked our landscaping out here this summer, we were left with a pretty large, blank wall and whole bunch of baby plants that don’t do much to add interest quite yet. We decided to try our hand at creating a DIY invisible wire trellis on a brick wall, and the whole project cost […]

The temps might still say “Summer,” but my heart is screaming “FALL!!!” I’m not quite ready for pumpkins to invade the house quite yet, but I wanted to gently bring some fall to the front door with this DIY fall wreath recipe I use whenever creating wreaths from scratch!

My four little women love to look through Pinterest with me and choose crafts for us to do together. A few weeks ago, they chose a DIY felt flower mobile! The photo inspo they chose were a little advanced for little hands, so we simplified the DIY felt flower mobile to be a bit more […]

During these weird times of self-isolation, I find myself craving a spot of happiness in the form of growing things. Now, let’s be real — I’m NO plant lady. In fact, I’m quite the opposite, actually!

Hey, friends! Spring vibes are here! Wanted to add a bit o’ green to this gorgeous Amelie mirror gifted by Arhaus, so I grabbed some greenery, floral wire and wire cutters and went to work! I love how it adds a touch of whimsy and spring green to the space, plus the mirror serves as […]

Over the years living in this home, our girls have switched rooms and room mates so many times that we stopped trying very hard at keeping their closets organized and user-friendly. Now that they are pretty much settled […]
