My favorite part of the $100 Room Challenge is here: Reveal Week! I love seeing how everyone’s projects turned out, and I love the satisfying feeling of finishing my own project. (As opposed to all the other unfinished projects lying around my house at the moment.) Before I take you on a tour of the finished office/guest room that I’ve been working on, I just want to take a minute to thank Erin of Lemons, Lavender, and Laundry for dreaming up such a fun challenge, and for including me in this group of bloggers, each of whom are a complete inspiration to me. If you’re new to the challenge, take… Keep Reading
Progress in the Office for the $100 Room Challenge
This week’s $100 Room Challenge post is all about progress, not perfection. If you’re new to the $100 Room Challenge, check out the first post in this series to get an idea of what’s going on. Then come right back here and I’ll catch you up. Inevitably in any project there comes a time when you’re just working. And working. It’s not pretty, it’s not glamorous, and it’s not really photo-worthy, but it’s got to be done. That’s the moment when I like to look for small victories and celebrate them, because I believe all the big things in life are really just made up of lots and lots of… Keep Reading
Big Plans for this Office in the Latest $100 Room Challenge
I’m so excited it’s time for another $100 Room Challenge! This time I’m tackling my husband’s office, which doubles as our guest room.

Yardistry 12×14 Gazebo Installation Tips
‘Tis the season to get outside! This is the time of year it starts feeling like summer, even though officially it’s still spring. Which means it’s time to get outside before it gets too hot to enjoy it! I can’t wait to share this post with you today as part of Remodelaholic’s Get Out! Outdoor DIY Challenge. We haven’t done much to our backyard since moving in two years ago, but this summer that’s all about to change. As much as I love interior decor, I also love to get outside and enjoy the amazing Albuquerque weather as often as possible. When you get about 300 days of sunshine a… Keep Reading
Barn Door Frequently Asked Questions
Fun FAQ’s – Double Barn Doors Because sometimes a DIY tutorial raises more questions than it answers, I thought I’d spend the month of February going back and doing a series of Frequently Asked Questions posts about some of my most popular DIY projects. Now that it’s halfway through March, I’m finally ready to finish the last post in the series! So, what I intended to call “February FAQ’s” has now been changed to “Fun FAQ’s” because FAQ’s are really year-round, and also, I can’t stick to a schedule to save my life. (If you haven’t already, check out the updates on my kitchen cabinet makeover, my concrete countertops, and my… Keep Reading
DIY Concrete Countertops Frequently Asked Questions
Fun FAQs: DIY Concrete Countertops I have loved these concrete countertops since I built them over a year ago. The gray concrete adds just the right amount of urban style to this guest bathroom, and you can’t beat the price! I was surprised at how easy it was to make such a big change. The process was a little time consuming, mostly while waiting for each coat of concrete to dry, but it wasn’t technically difficult. I wrote about how I created these countertops in three different blog posts: The Process The Reveal The Finishing Details Don’t worry, DIYing your countertops isn’t that hard! I just had several other projects… Keep Reading
Lit Headboard Frequently Asked Questions
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. If you make a purchase, I will receive… Keep Reading
$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
