Fun FAQ’s: Dreamy Light Up Headboard This month, I’m taking a little break from new projects to go back and answer some great questions about old projects. Sometimes I don’t know whether I’ve written a good tutorial until you write to me with all your questions, and I figure out how much information I left out. It seems only fair to go back and answer those questions and fill in some of the holes. (Last week I covered our painted kitchen cabinets, so be sure to check out that post if you’re thinking of painting yours.) I built this dreamy lit headboard out of curtains and Christmas lights almost four… Keep Reading
Painted Kitchen Cabinet FAQs and How They’re Holding Up
Fun FAQ’s: Painted Kitchen Cabinets There sure are a lot of ugly, outdated kitchen cabinets out there! How do I know? Ever since I wrote this post about how to paint your kitchen cabinets, I’ve heard from approximately 300 of you who are thinking of doing the same thing. In fact, I’ve had so many questions over the past year about my painted kitchen cabinets, that I thought now would be a good time to answer them all together in one place, as well as let you know how the cabinets’ paint job is holding up. ~ This post contains affiliate links.

$100 Room Challenge Family Room Reveal Week
It’s finally here – reveal week of the $100 Room Challenge! I have to admit, there were a few moments along the way that I questioned whether I would get this one done. You would think that a whole month would give you plenty of time to finish a project that only includes painting closet doors, painting bookshelves, and a little stenciling. But like me, you would be wrong. The optimist in me always thinks projects are small when I get started. Then the procrastinator takes over, telling me I’ve got plenty of time to get it done. Then reality hits and the work actually gets done, usually a little… Keep Reading
Week 4: Stenciling over Tile
I learned something very important while working on this week’s $100 Room Challenge: I really dislike stenciling. But I love the effect, so I’m determined to press on. And I’m sharing with you some of the tips and tricks I’ve learned for stenciling tile. First I want to say a big Thank You to DecoArt for providing the Chalky Finish paint for this project. Although this is a sponsored post, all opinions are my own. $100 Room Challenge Week 4 – Stenciling Over Tile Have I mentioned before how glad I am that there are five weeks this January? I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to get this challenge done… Keep Reading
Week 3: Painting Bookshelves & Cabinets
It’s already week three of the $100 Room Challenge! I’ve gotten my closet doors done, and this week I (mostly) finished painting my bookshelves and cabinets. Today I’ve got a few tips for you if you’re thinking of painting a bookshelf. For these shelves and cabinets, I used basically the same process as I did with the doors, but I added an extra step of sealing the shelf tops with Polycrylic, to protect the paint from books sliding in and out of the shelves. If you’re just joining us, check out Week 1 and Week 2 to see where all this is coming from. ~ This post contains affiliate links…. Keep Reading
Week 2: Decluttering and Painting Closet Doors
This week of the $100 Room Challenge has been all about small progress. I always look forward to the big reveal, and get a little antsy during the tedious work stage, but I know it will be worth it in the end. Last week I shared my vision for this fireplace wall in my den, and this week I got to work decluttering and starting the painting process. ~ This post contains affiliate links.

A New Year and a New $100 Room Challenge
I love January. Not the weather, you understand. I love the feeling of a whole new year stretching out in front of me. Just think of all the projects I can accomplish! Or at least start and never finish. All the organizing. All the planning. All the good intentions. It’s a time full of hope, and for a procrastinator like me, it’s a time of new resolve to finish what I start. Or just start. Baby steps. The other reason I love January is it’s $100 Room Challenge month. Basically, it’s my best shot at actually getting my projects done. The $100 Room Challenge If you’re just joining me, or… Keep Reading

In a season full of running around, shopping, decorating, and baking, I thought we could all use a little calm in our lives. What, you’re already done with all your holiday shopping?

I could definitely use some calm in my life, so I’m finding it and sharing it with you. When I stumbled across this photo on one of my favorite Instagram feeds, @PunkRockFoto, it felt like a breath of fresh air. She perfectly captured the movement of the water that feels so calming, and the… Keep Reading
Easy Concrete Ornaments You Can DIY in a Weekend
Concrete Christmas Ornaments? Who ever heard of such a thing? Well, when you’re a DIY-er like me, you sometimes find yourself with spare material left over from projects. And if you’re also cheap like me, then you hate to see things go to waste. If necessity is the mother of invention, then leftover material is its quirky aunt. She always seems to run off on a tangent, but at least you can count on her for some fun, and and an interesting story or two along the way. Wait, where was I? Oh right. Concrete Christmas Ornaments. I had a little leftover Feather Finish concrete from my Guest Bathroom Remodel,… Keep Reading
Frosted Leaves Palette
I love Fall. I love living in a place where the days are still warm and sunny, but the nights are getting colder. It feels like the best of both worlds. I always wish this season would last longer, but I know that colder weather is coming, and I’m trying to mentally prepare myself. So when I saw this picture on a blogger friend’s instagram feed, it gave me all the Fall feels. It was a frosty morning at her house, and she found a beautiful little moment to share. Thanks, Ann, for inspiring me, and letting me borrow your photo! Frosted Leaves Palette Those deliciously colorful leaves, covered with… Keep Reading
