Our living room is the most used room in our home. Instead of buying new furniture when we moved in, I modified the industrial shelving I made for our last house and painted a dresser to use as a media cabinet. Although the furniture “worked,” I never really loved it. Like most of my projects, […]

My projects always tend to evolve. I go into them with an idea of what the final picture will look like, but don’t often know all of the details. Our master bathroom began with open shelving and a mess that I couldn’t control. I decided it was time to replace the open shelving with a […]

Let me start by saying that I have loved my home since the first time I saw it. I began casually looking for a home…and then I fell in love… I was amazed the first time that I drove by it and love the sight of it every time that I pull into our driveway. […]

I have a hard time “looking past the clutter” sometimes. I had a list of projects that I planned to complete…and a playroom makeover was not on it. However, I decided it would be best for my sanity if I cleaned up the mess. Upgrading our playroom storage became the priority. Our playroom became overrun […]

Have you ever wanted to make something, but convinced yourself that you didn’t need it? That’s how I was with a bed swing. I really wanted one for our screened in porch, but I came up with every excuse not to make it (we don’t have room for one, I don’t have the time to […]

Our home had open shelving in the master bathroom when we purchased it. I liked the look, but it didn’t take long for me to realize this would not work for us. You don’t realize how many things you store under your sink until you have to look at it each day. I used large […]

I have always liked the way open shelving looks in kitchens, although I’ve been afraid to have it in my home because I know it can easily look messy. When we moved into our third home, it had open shelving in the kitchen. It took me a while, but I learned how to make it […]

One of my biggest obsessions that I have in common with Fixer Upper is SHIPLAP! I love how quick and easy it is to install and that it instantly adds character to a room. Call me crazy, but shiplap walls almost feel more…substantial. I wanted to add some character to the living room of our […]

Ok, so maybe it isn’t a “quarters,” but I have always wanted to have a special place for visitors when they spend the night. I want our home to be welcoming and comfortable for everyone. I love hosting and know that people are more likely to want to stay with us if they enjoy our […]
