    Footstool with the Fur

    January 25, 2017 /

    Since I’m only 39 weeks pregnant, I thought it was time for a little post about the new nursery in town. Fit for a baby BOY! My husband and I went back and forth about where to let the new little one sleep during his first months at home. We contemplated our room until he slept longer at night at which time we could move him in with his big sis. But co-sleeping didn’t work out too well for us with Mary Helen. Babies make a lot of noise in their sleep! So instead, I cleared out all of my “junk” from our guest room and turned it into a…

    How to Build a Beautiful Laundry Sorter

    DIY Laundry Sorter That Looks Like a Dresser Plans for building a laundry hamper sorter that actually looks like a dresser. Such a pretty way to dress up your laundry room while adding function at the same time! It’s finally here! The tutorial you’ve all been waiting for! Or maybe it was just me? The laundry sorter-that-looks-like-a-dresser is complete after I think a month of trying to work on it. But that was more my schedule and timing than the time it took to actually make the thing. It looks like a dresser with 12 drawers…but it’s actually 4 pullout hampers! The color is Casual Gray from Behr* and the…

    DIY Marble End Table Makeover

    June 20, 2016 /

    A few months ago, I was picking up a file cabinet from our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore for an episode project. (If you don’t know what that is, you should check to see if there is one in your area for great furniture and building material finds!) While thereĀ I saw this round end table for $7! So I took it home with me too! I later found an exact match at a local Goodwill for $5. Could have saved $2! It had nice, wooden legs, but the top of the table was very unfinished. It almost looked like it could have been cork. I knew I could refinish it…

    Dining Room To-Do List, April 2016

    April 22, 2016 /

    Well over a year ago I compiled a list of things I’d like to complete in our living room. A lot has been completed on the list like adding window trim, rearranging a few pieces of furniture, and painting the walls. And several things that weren’t on the list like updating my fireplace and hearth were also completed. There are still a few things in the works to be done in there (like installing an overhead ceiling fixture!), but I’ve moved on to a small overhaul and update in our dining room. Here’s what it looks like as of April 2016:

    Today is my baby girl’s half-birthday! While not a big milestone for adults or even older children, it really feels like a giant stepping stone during her first year of life! But before I get carried away bragging about how awesome my kid is, the real reason I’m checking in today is to share a fun bookshelf makeover I just completed! This bookshelf was handed down to me from my grandparents when they were purging a lot from their house. It was originally brown with a faux wood look. Not my style. So I had caulked all of the joints and painted it white. Then I painted the back of…

    DIY End Table with Shoe Rack

    March 25, 2016 /

    Free Plans for DIY Shoe Rack Table I’ve mentioned before my desire to be a shoe-free home. And now that Mary Helen is getting closer to crawling every day, it’s even more important to me to significantly reduce the amount of dirt and grime brought onto our floors. I made a wine cork shoe tray for the living room a few months ago. But I needed something else for the back door. The end table and floor lamp there keep me from just setting a similar tray on the floor. So I decided to build a new end table for the space that also includes a shelf for shoes.

    I’ve got a fun (and different) project for you that was featured on this past weekend’s episode of Today’s Homeowner TV! The episode was all about upcycling and recycling! 2 of my favorite topics! I love recycling anything and everything I can, and part of that is reusing or upcycling things for a new life. Anyone who has an affinity for cats can appreciate this. We turned this old hutch…

    The Armchair Reimagined

    November 29, 2015 /

    I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break with family and friends! My husband and I survived our first road trip with baby Mary Helen up to Indiana and back to visit his side of the family. Speaking of the baby, my latest project is all about rehabbing a piece of furniture that came out of her room at the beginning of its transformation. Exhibit A: This lovely, over 20-year-old wingback armchair was inherited from my parents after they remodeled and refurnished their living room. I bought a slipcover for it at one point, but it didn’t fit very well and was returned. When we moved everything out of the…
