How it began… On our long list of house projects, remodeling the basement bathroom was not in the top 5, or even the top 10. I avoided going in there because the whole room was a haphazard DIY project from a previous homeowner and was fine ignoring it since it was in the basement and guests rarely saw it. However, the toilet in the bathroom began to have a slow leak. My husband decided to take out the toilet to…
Summertime is for painting. I love freshening up areas of our house with a new coat of paint. But then once I start to paint one area of my house, I can’t ignore others areas that so badly need a refresh. Our shed is the first building people see when pulling up to our house, and while it had quaint charm with the all-cedar siding, I decided it needed a little facelift. Shed Makeover: The first area I updated was…
Hi! Today I am sharing with you a tip for keeping toys organized. I swear the toys in my house multiply in the night and toys seem to end up across the whole house. I created a visual system for keeping the toys organized, and it works really well! These are my favorite items in our playroom, because my boys can pick up their toys and keep them (mostly) organized! The pictures on the front are an easy visual clue…

The color is the same as our front door on our house, Spiced Butternut by Olympic. There are still lots of tasks I need to do to clean up the shed (de-moss the roof, add stairs, repaint the windows, and add white trim) but at least…

We had been planning on remodeling the bathroom for a while, and then one spring evening, my hubby jumped in with both feet and began scraping up the tile…The remodel was on! Before: During the remodel: We discovered a few layers of…
After deliberating for a year, I finally bit the bullet and painted our front door!! Here are before and afters! I realized after I taped the windows that I didn’t take a before pic. And no, I was not going to take down the tape just to get a pristine before pic. Sorry, not sorry. Our door was the standard, primed white door we got at our local home improvement store. I really wanted either a red or yellow door…
