I have good news and bad news. The bad news is I’m not writing a progress post on our flip house like I had planned for this week. The good news is because it’s turned into a reveal post! Yep, we’re done. This sweet little home is on the market, ready and waiting for its next family. I loved working on our first flip house, but this one has brought me even more creative joy than that one did. I don’t know why, but some houses just capture your heart, and this one did just that. Maybe it was the moment my daughter christened it “The Birthday Cake House” (y’all… Keep Reading
$100 Room Challenge Breakfast Nook Reveal
Reveal day is my favorite part of the $100 Room Challenge! I love to see a project come together, and it’s even better when you get to see all your friends’ projects come together! This month I gave my breakfast nook a little makeover, and I’m amazed at the difference a few little details can make. One month and $100 doesn’t seem like much to go on, but it gets the job done! Before we get to the big reveal, let’s take a quick look back. If you’re just joining us, check out my previous posts about this challenge: Week 1 ~ Week 2 ~ Week 3 Then take a… Keep Reading
Breakfast Nook Bench Makeover for the $100 Room Challenge
This week’s bench makeover project for the $100 Room Challenge is all about making storage pretty and functional, one of my favorite DIY subjects. Last week’s Farmhouse Table project was tough, so I was ready for an easier challenge this week. We all need storage. And we all want a pretty house. So when the two come together, it’s the perfect match! This week I gave my IKEA Kallax bookshelf benches a little makeover. (Did you know the Kallax, or Expedit, shelves can lie on their sides and turn into benches?) They are the perfect piece to add function, storage, and now color, to this eat-in breakfast area. ~ This… Keep Reading
Reclaiming My Farmhouse Table for the $100 Room Challenge
This week’s $100 Room Challenge Farmhouse Table project is brought to you by elbow grease and sweat. Lots of sweat. There’s no question – painting furniture is easier than unpainting it. I’m glad I tackled my kitchen table for the first project of this challenge, because after this all the other projects should be easy! If you’re just joining, check out my previous post on my plans for this month’s $100 Room Challenge first. Then read on to see how to reclaim a farmhouse table. ~ This post contains affiliate links.

What I Wish I’d Known about Double Barn Doors
Today I’m taking a break from my Flip House posts, because I’m just so excited to share this with you that I couldn’t wait. We got barn doors! Now, I know I’m not the first girl ever to put barn doors in her house, but this is something I’ve been wanting to do for years, and when we moved into this house, I knew just where I’d put them. Then it was just a matter of getting a few other priorities taken care of before we could get to this project. But it’s finally done, and they turned out even better than I imagined! First, here’s the before: These accordion… Keep Reading
Our New Flip House Gets a Fresh Start
We had so much fun renovating our first flip house that we couldn’t wait to do it again. Except it turns out finding the right opportunity sometimes takes a little patience. So after a few months of itching to get our hands on a new project, we finally found one that fit the bill. Introducing our new flip house… My daughter calls it the birthday cake house because she thinks it looks like a yellow birthday cake. I think that’s a pretty happy thought, so for now that will be its official name. This house just needs a few cosmetic upgrades (and a good cleaning!) and it will be a… Keep Reading
$100 Room Challenge Reveal – Growing Girl’s Bedroom
Tween Girl’s Bedroom Makeover It’s reveal week for the $100 Room Challenge! Reveal week is always my favorite, partly because I love to see a fun project come together, but also partly because of the enormous sense of relief I feel after the final push to get everything done. I can’t wait to show you my growing girl’s bedroom makeover! Before we get into the good stuff, I want to say a big Thank You to Erin of Lemons, Lavender, and Laundry for hosting this challenge, and giving me the deadline I needed so I could finally get this room done! ~This post contains affiliate links.

Dip-Dyed Ombre Curtain Makeover – $100 Room Challenge
For this week’s $100 Room Challenge update, I’m sharing with you one of my favorite projects, ombre dip-dying. I use this dip-dye method for several of the tea towels in my Etsy shop (which are all unfortunately sold out at the moment), but it’s really an easy project you can do yourself. (Check out week 1 and week 2 to see where we’re coming from!) My daughter likes her white curtains, and I do too, but I thought they needed something a little more interesting to make them less boring. The ombre effect will let us leave most of the fabric white, while adding just enough color to tie in… Keep Reading
Ceiling Fan Makeover – $100 Room Challenge
When I started working on my daughter’s bedroom for the $100 Room Challenge, I knew the first thing that had to go was that awful ceiling fan. (I think I referred to it as “the brass monstrosity” in my last post.) But with only $100 to makeover a whole bedroom, that didn’t leave a whole lot of budget for a new light fixture. No problem, I’m used to working with tight budgets and ugly light fixtures! I had never done a ceiling fan before, so this was a challenge I was excited to try. If you’re just joining, be sure to check out last week’s post with my plans for… Keep Reading
