DIY Pennant Banner for Kids Room
This DIY Pennant Banner is the perfect something extra for a kid bedroom or play space! It’s so easy to paint by hand with minimal materials and skills! We overhauled this bedroom for a grandmother who has 6 grandkids. She needed more beds than just the full bed and futon previously in the room. So Dad and I built 2 sets of bunk beds complete with trundle drawer storage underneath! The transformation was part of an episode for Today’s Homeowner. I designed the room to be fun and cute but not too young since the grandkids span ages 1 to 9. Bright colors mixed with black and white bedding was…

Pink Girls’ Shared Bedroom Evolution
Our girls’ shared bedroom has come a long way since we first moved in. See how its design and makeover has slowly evolved over the past year. I shared the evolution of this room in real time in my Instagram stories. You can watch part 1 here and part 2 here. When we bought our house in July 2020, the second bedroom was large but had dated wood paneling and green carpet!

DIY Lighted Marquee Numbers
Create DIY large lighted numbers to celebrate any birthday or anniversary using dollar store foam boards and cafe lights. The fundraiser at my kids’ school was celebrating 20 years. So I volunteered to make these DIY lighted numbers as part of the decor for the event! Sure we could have rented them. But that would have cost around $300. Possibly more. Instead I only spent around $30 since I already had cafe string lights on hand!

DIY Kid Height Keepsake
Quick Way to Track Kids’ Growth Each New Year Easy project to measure your children’s growth each year with this keepsake chart that can be tucked away when not in use! Growing up, my dad always insisted on marking my sisters’ and my height. We usually ended up doing it sometime around Christmas or New Years because it was an easy milestone to remember. We did it on the doorstop inside our hallway closet. Now, my parents are building a new house and planning to move sometime this year. So they’ll have to cut the doorstop out to take our growth chart with them! Since my husband and I don’t…

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!

Pink and Neutral Baby Girl Nursery
Simple Updates to Create Girl Nursery A few changes we made to turn our former hand-me-down, boy nursery into a fresh, pink nursery fit for a tiny princess! Paint Is Great When we found out we were having a boy in late 2016, we didn’t bother painting our then guest room because it was already blue! In fact, most of Mister Gus’s first room was thrown together with what we had around because I felt like I had just finished his big sister’s nursery. So this time around when we found out we were having a girl, the first and only thing I KNEW I wanted to do was paint…

How Not to Hang Wallpaper
Lessons I Learned While Hanging Wallpaper I made a few mistakes hanging wallpaper for the first time. And I’m sharing them with you so you don’t have to make the same ones! Have Plenty to Go Around I purchased my wallpaper many years ago at a local Goodwill store for around $5. I bought it to use in the back of bookshelves or some other small space as an accent. When it came time to update our 3rd bedroom as a girl nursery, I thought it’d be a sweet, subtle accent on the side of the room with the closets. But since it was old, I’m not even sure it was…
