We recently completed a makeover on my friend’s front room–turning it into a home school room. We loved the desk in our inspiration picture, but she did an authentic butcher block desktop which cost her over $1000 and that definitely wasn’t in our budget. We decided to make a planked desktop to make the whole…

Shiplap Wall for Under $50
We recently completed a home school (or home office if you will) room in an industrial farmhouse style. We decided to make a shiplap wall and it’s seriously the easiest project. There are a million different tutorials on this but I feel like this is a pretty surefire way to go. This method of ‘shiplap’…
Industrial Farmhouse Home School Room
My best friend from childhood recently asked me to help her with a project for her sister. Her sister works so hard helping everyone and home schools her kids and is just so super busy. So she wanted to makeover her front room to make it a really useable space for her kids to do…
Easy Console Table Makeover

It’s a large closet that became a dumping ground from the moment we moved in. It just wasn’t pretty. Since BHG has…
IKEA Hack: Expedit into Long Storage Unit
Check out my latest IKEA hack–in my Farmhouse Loft. I’m always pretty proud of my latest builds and this one is no different. Though technically I didn’t really build much. But I took one tall bookcase and an IKEA Expedit and turned it into this: I love it! It turned out exactly as I…
Farmhouse Loft Makeover
I really love my house. It’s very open and the biggest reason is because above the kitchen is a loft which is open to the downstairs. We’ve used this room as a playroom for my kids but it’s always been a huge embarrassment to me. It’s the first thing you see when you go upstairs…
How to Decorate a Hearth
Everyone loves decorating their mantels and there are lots of great inspirational pictures out there to help you do it. I love my new mantel so much but it’s still hard to decorate right now because there is a ginormous TV above it. We are still planning to plank above this mantel and center the…
