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.

How to Make a Small Room Look Larger
How I Made My Bathroom Look Bigger A few inexpensive changes can make a small room in your house, like a bathroom, look and feel bigger without tearing down walls!?? Open Shelving Yes, I know what you’re thinking…where am I supposed to store my stuff if all I have is a few shelves? Well, I’d say seriously consider what you’re storing and how you use it.

Don’t overlook the fact act you can easily store everyday items…

Modern Dining Table Update with Resin
How to Use a Router and Resin to Create an Inlay I am not kidding when I tell you that I’ve had this dining room table in my garage for over 4 years waiting for a makeover. Thinking back brings up fond memories since it was the week of my wedding when I found her in someone’s trash pile. I knew she could be brought back to life with a little love so I’ve been trying to come up with the right project. I wanted to do something neat and different from just re-staining or painting it. I can’t even remember what inspired me but once I thought “inlay” I…

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…
