After 5 weeks of working on my family room for the One Room Challenge, it is finally week 6 and reveal day! I am so thrilled with how my living / family room turned out. That being said, Murphy’s law was in full effect from day one of just planning this room. Not a single renovation plan of […]

Bringing Cottage Charm To A Space
*Special shoutout to Better Homes & Gardens for sponsoring this post! Affiliate links contained below I can hardly believe that this room ever looked this dark and dungeon like. It had come SUCH a long way, and yet it lacked that cottage-y feel that makes you walk into the space and immediately want to sink into the coziness […]

The Evolutions of A Living Room
First it was a sitting room (really? Are we going to go a’court’in?), then it was an office, then it became a secret guest room hidden in a living room…ok, this space was kicking my butt. Sure, I managed to put it to some practical use over the years, but honestly it just never seemed to come together… […]

Experiencing firsthand the flow and beauty of the space, and learning what functions work best for how […]

After all, won’t our gusto and faith in all things beautiful produce a DIY miracle? Probably not, then we’ll have to compromise our vision, or live in denial. […]
Dressing Table Turn TV Console
This dressing table was a family hand-me-down that I was grateful to receive but couldn’t figure out how to use. It didn’t fit in my tiny “master” bedroom, and I don’t have a real office space… Turns out it was the only thing strong enough to hold up our TV, so a TV console it […]
A Little Bookcase Styl’in {& A Big Makeover}
How do you create a stylish bookcase that is equally functional? Then again, a better question is how much of a design dork would you think I was if I said my first attempted to “stylize” the bookcase was preeeety useless. *hangs head shamefully* Is it just me that finds this task somewhat of a challenge?
