This post is sponsored by radiant by Legrand. All views and opinions shared in this post are my own. When renovating a space, outlets and switches are often overlooked. Leaving them in place really dates the house. Replacing outlets and switches is both affordable and easy to do…so why not replace them?? The switches in […]

I have never been a fan of metal pantry shelving.  Not only is the metal shelving unattractive, it is a pain.  It’s a balancing act for many items to stand up on the shelving, while smaller items tend to fall right through the cracks. I decided it was time to lose the metal shelving once […]

There is something charming about our half bathroom. Every other room in our home is large and almost oversized. When we purchased the house, the half bathroom had black shiplap and was a cozy little space. Although I loved the black shiplap, it needed to be replaced. The shiplap was made from a thin plywood […]

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 […]

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 […]

We have been in our home for almost a year now…which is crazy to me! I guess time really does fly when you’re having fun. I have really enjoyed decorating and renovating our home! As with every home that we have lived in, the master bedroom is one of the last rooms that I decorate. […]

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 […]
