I had done a stencil project in Lennon's bedroom last year (see photo below). After about a year, I decided it was time to do something that shows that it's a kids bedroom. Lennon loves sports and playing Fortnite so I knew I wanted to incorporate that. I then thought... how about a chalkboard wall?! Then if for some reason in a few years he is no[...]
Thank-you SO much for all the love on my last couple blog posts and social media posts after sharing my furniture projects! If you missed it, I wrote about 2 DIY projects. Removing Finish from Furniture (Dining Table) and Removing Finish from Furniture (Nightstand). Some of you had the same questions so I wanted to share the answers and have it in[...]
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,[...]
HE IS RISEN, HE IS RISEN INDEED! Easter looked a little bit different this year. It was the first time we were not around other family members to celebrate this special day. We sure miss everyone, but we still made the best of it and had a great day! The kids received some goodies in their basket from the Easter Bunny. I even made name tags s[...]
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[...]
Where did you get the sofas in your living room? Homemakers! Here's the link to the SOFA! They also have a CHAISE LOUNGE that matches. It's in their outlet section in store, but you can also purchase it online. It has held up really well. I'm super happy with it especially at such a great price! (For links to items in this photo, click here t[...]
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[...]
