As we near the end of the Jeffrey Court All-Star Renovation Challenge, I am excited to see everything come together! I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel…and it’s a great feeling! For the first few weeks of the challenge, I was a nervous wreck. I anticipated all that still needed […]

We’re just over half way through the Jeffrey Court All-Star Renovation Challenge and we are making some serious progress on this bathroom expansion! The prep work is almost complete and the fun parts are beginning. I love when I get to see my design come to life! Voting opened last week and you are able […]

It’s hard to believe that we’re already into Week 3 of the Jeffrey Court All-Star Renovation Challenge! It feels like just yesterday I was tearing down my laundry room wall. The first two weeks, we focused on demo, installing a new wall, electrical and plumbing. This week, we’re preparing for all of the tile that […]

To say that I am ready to get this renovation underway is a bit of an understatement. This is one project that we’ve had planned since just after we moved into our home. When I was asked to be a part of the Jeffrey Court All-Star Renovation Challenge, I thought this was the perfect project! […]

Walls can often look cluttered with too much wall art. Stencils are a great way to add dimension to a wall and are an excellent […]

Ever since the first time I saw a wood slat wall, I couldn’t wait to add one to my home! I have seen many different styles (plain wood against a white wall, painted wood on a painted wall…) and wanted to try something slightly different. I absolutely love black accent walls, like the one that […]

I always struggle to come up with the perfect gift, whether it’s for family, friends, or in this case, teachers. I like to give thoughtful gifts and it’s always a bonus if I can make it. I was super excited when I came up with the idea to make these wooden clip picture frames for […]
