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…

“Treeing-Up” Bushes
A fun, and easy, way to prune bushes I’ve always referred to the process of pruning a bush to look like a tree as “treeing it up”. But upon searching that term on the interwebs, I apparently made that up. The most-returned result referenced a dog driving a raccoon or other animal up into a tree. So pretty close! 🙂 We had this overgrown Loropetalum bushy tree in the front yard. It was like bedhead-crazy with limbs sticking out in all directions. After Brandon attacked it with our hedge trimmers, it looked like this:

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…
