Accent Wall I’ll start with the most obvious part of the bathroom, the tile accent wall. It’s the first thing you notice when you walk in and where we spent the most money, besides the framing and roof.

DIY Sequin and Watercolor Pumpkins If you missed my segment all about ‘glamming’ up pumpkins for fall on HLN last Sunday, click to watch it above! A few weeks ago, I was thrilled to be asked to join Susan Hendricks on HLN’s Weekend Express! I spent the week leading up to the taping of the segment crafting with pumpkins!

Easy Way to Clean and Maintain a Concrete Walkway
How To Make Concrete Low Maintenance Sealing concrete can actually reduce how often you have to clean it! Clean It Well As I mentioned in my fireplace makeover video, my projects tend to snowball and get out of hand pretty quickly…well, that’s what happened here. We need to reapply some caulk and touch up paint on the railings and columns on our front porch. But you can’t paint dirty wood. So I decided to pressure wash the whole front porch. Then I thought while I have the pressure washer out, let me go ahead and clean the front walk. And then I’ll seal it too. It’s been way too long…

Cozy Curb Appeal 4 Ways
4 Ways to Create Cozy Curb Appeal There’s not just one way to create curb appeal for your home! Here are 4 ways we’ve recently updated the curb appeal of 3 different houses featured on episodes of Today’s Homeowner. Tear Down What Doesn’t Work Sometimes you don’t need to add anything to update your home’s curb appeal. You just need to get rid of what’s not working for you anymore. This can be big or small!

It also lacked storage and opportunities for organization.

My Favorite Kitchen Makeover!
20-year old Kitchen Gets a Paint-Lift Painting kitchen cabinets is ALWAYS a win in my book. I’m never not amazed, surprised, and blown away! Original Kitchen Cabinets This kitchen project was a 2-part episode shared on Today’s Homeowner. And I’m still obsessed with it. The cabinets were in pretty good shape considering they were original to this 20+ year old house. But they showed their age in the stain color. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love the look of stained wood. But this orangey color was done so much during the time period this house was built, it automatically puts a date stamp on this kitchen and it keeps…

Cherry-Picked: Phone Wallet
How I Simplified with A Stick-On Wallet Yes, a credit card wallet attached to my phone has made my life simpler and I’ll tell you why! What Is It? All it is is a silicone sleeve that attaches to the back of your phone or phone case with adhesive. It’s large enough for 2 credit cards, or, as in my case, 1 credit card and a driver’s license. But also snug enough that your cards won’t fall out!
