A Few Changes in Our Kids’ Shared Room I shared several months ago that we were going to make a few changes to Mary Helen’s nursery to make it more dude-friendly for Gus since he now resides in there as well. Between updating our bathroom and dining room at the same time, I just now got around to completing those changes.

Small Dining Room Updates 2018
Quick, Updated Tour of Our Dining Room Ever since I added trim around our cased openings and board and batten in our dining room, the walls in there have been blank. I was just at a lost as to what to put in there that all worked together. So a little over a month ago, I posted on my Instagram stories asking for some help decorating my dining room. (You can still check them out in my highlights.) And boy did y’all have some great suggestions!

How Not to Refinish Your Dining Table
How I Refinished Our Dining Table: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly I’ll warn you. This doesn’t end the way I wanted, but I think it’s a story and how-to worth sharing. Learn from my mistakes. How It Began It all started innocently enough. I love the look of naturally-stained dining tables with painted legs. And since our painted dining table top was looking a little rough, I thought I’d give it a go! We started by painstakingly sanding ALL of the paint off. (*Spoiler-Much to my husband’s chagrin, this would prove fruitless in the end.) Once the paint was removed, the tabletop was still darker than I wanted.

Does Homax Porcelain Chip Fix Work?
My Review of Homax’s Porcelain Chip Fix in a Sink In short, it didn’t work for me the first time. But I always like to give the benefit of the doubt, so I applied it a second time a few weeks later. (Results are pending for my second trial run. This review reflects the initial application.) Maybe I did it wrong? Or possibly I cleaned it too aggressively after it cured? I don’t know but here’s how it all went down.

Master Bathroom with Hotel Style
How To Add Style to a Bathroom With Paint And Ingenuity You don’t need an entire remodel or a construction company to make your master bathroom feel fresh, new, or like you walked into a high-end hotel. We recently featured this bathroom facelift on an episode of Today’s Homeowner. The homeowners, Ryan and Chloe, lived with a concrete subfloor for over a year after their son flooded and ruined the carpet. They just didn’t know where to start! Replace Flooring While we could have put down tile on the concrete to match the existing nearby tile, they were really looking for something new and different. So we started by removing the…

Shared Toddler Room Mood Board
How I’m Turning Our Nursery Into A Boy/Girl Room If you follow my Instagram stories, then you may have seen back in May we started moving our little guy, Gus, into his sister’s room. They were pretty much sleeping on the same schedule and Grandma from Indiana was coming to visit. Plus with a few trips coming up this year where we’d all be sharing a room, I thought it was a good impetus to have them share a room full-time. And we’d have an official guest room again! Unfortunately for Gus the room was very pink. Here’s what is looked like when I finished it up back in 2015 before…
