As I mentioned in my other DIY : REMOVING FINISH (DINING TABLE) post, the Citristrip did not work on the dining table, but the CITRISTRIP did work on my nightstand! It actually worked SO well on this furniture piece! Here's the before photo: TIP #1: Apply Citristrip stripping gel with a PAINT BRUSH and wear rubber gloves.[...]
I'm finally getting to share with you my first experience of removing stain from furniture! I removed the finish from my dining table and nightstand. What I did was different for each piece of furniture which was not my plan but what worked for one did not work for the other. So on this blog post, I will be sharing what I did with our dining table,[...]
My son, Dylan, requested money for his 15th birthday. I saw this idea floating around PINTEREST and wanted to try it! I used 40 $1 bills for the "dough", and the little kids added the "toppings" with some quarters and $1 coins from their piggy banks. Dylan had NO idea why his siblings were walking to him so slow with a pizza box. When[...]
I showed you all my closet via IG STORIES, and many of you were shook. Some of you just couldn't believe that was my closet, and some of you told me to have no shame because yours looked the same! ;-) People want to see the real life. Well, this is it. This is the real, REAL! You know how almost every single family has a drawer in the kitchen[...]
We've had this blank nook by our stairs for over a year now, and I couldn't figure out what to do with the space for the longest time. I could have done a kids homework station, reading nook, gallery wall, console table with accessories, etc. Lots of ideas, but I had to think: "what would work best for our family?" I decided to make this ar[...]
I teamed up with a couple other bloggers, Megan and Hilary to show you how to decorate your table for Valentine's Day so make sure to check theirs out! I'm so excited to show you a tablescape that the family will love without it being too over the top. I still wanted it to flow with the rest of my home which is pretty neutral. I used a lot of st[...]
I'm all about EASY DIYs and spray painting is a DIYers best friend! I bought these tall candleholders a couple years ago on clearance at Target at a killer price. I've been meaning to spray paint them and never got around to it. Since I incorporated hints of gold as part of my Christmas decor, I left the candleholders as is. Once Chr[...]
I was so excited to be featured on THE EVERYMOM this last Christmas! If you didn't get to read the INTERVIEW, please go check it out! When we moved in 2018, I didn't really decorate for the holidays since we had just moved in. 2019, I decorated more. 2020, I hope to decorate more of the rooms in our house such as our master bedroom and the boys'[...]
I've been decorating for Christmas, and I really wanted to put something on the stucco of our fireplace. I didn't want anything too over the top because I didn't want to take away from the modern look of the fireplace. After going through aisles at the craft store, I spotted these PINE CRAFT STEMS. I decided to spell out "Cheer" in cursi[...]
Ready for some DIY Christmas decorations?! I decided to start with our master bathroom because to be honest, I knew it would be an easy project to finish. I like to start DIY projects that I can cross off the list quicker! Are you the same?! Here is an image from the water closet. I hate to admit it, but while sitting there on the toilet, thi[...]
