    DIY Pennant Banner for Kids Room

    January 5, 2023 /

    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…

    DIY Lighted Marquee Numbers

    November 9, 2022 /

    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 Double Batten Accent Wall

    April 26, 2022 /

    Enhance a short fireplace or short walls by creating a vertical accent wall treatment that tricks the eye and makes your space feel larger. I love a good accent wall. You can paint ’em, nail ’em or wallpaper ’em. But they always add a special touch to any room! Here’s a simple wood accent wall I created in my son’s room not too long ago. And the wall I wallpapered in our living room. I still love this earthy green accent wall in our old bedroom too!😍 So when we first saw Faith and Roberto’s living room for a Today’s Homeowner project, I knew it needed a good accent!

    How To Install Beautiful Privacy Window Film

    October 19, 2020 /

    Quickly Add Privacy to Your Bathroom A quick way to add privacy to bathroom windows is with frosted privacy window film. You still get natural light streaming in without dust-collecting curtains. Each of our bathrooms had shear curtains in the windows from the previous owners when we bought it. They were not my style and added to the dated style of the bathroom, but they provided much needed privacy. Our master bathroom is on the side of our house and standing at the vanity you can see straight out to the street. Which means the reverse is also true.😳 The hall bathroom was less-pressed for privacy from passersby. But you…
