Awhile ago, my friend and I bought some cute new pillows for her living room, step 1 in starting to decorate her house. I always thought it would be so cute if she painted her console table navy blue. So like a year later, we painted her console table. DecoArt has a new Chalky Finish…

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…

Easy Painted Spring Decor
It’s the day after Valentine’s and you’d better believe that I have already taken down my Valentine’s decor and put up my spring decor. This part of the year in Utah is so depressing. We get this yucky inversion in the air so everything is just smoggy and gross and you don’t see the sun…

Last year I did more projects than I could even blog and I learned SO much, so many things to tell you about! One of the most obnoxious projects we did was painting stair balusters. Obnoxious because we did it wrong. So I’m here to save you from the giant headache that we had to deal…
How to Plank a Wall and Not Break Your Back Doing It
I have another survivor’s story here. This is a good one, you’ll be riveted. So I have been wanting to plank my kid’s bathroom walls for a long time. The towel bar in there fell off like the first week we moved in and wouldn’t stay up no matter what. (Cheap builder grade stuff!) So…

Aah! Only one more day left of this year! I can’t believe I’ve already lived in this house for a year and now we have another kid on the way…so many things have changed in the last year. 2015 was a pretty good year for us. It definitely had its ups and downs but I…
Best Projects from 2015
2015 was a big year for us–we moved into our first home and didn’t waste any time getting started on projects! I have to say, I’m a big fan of home ownership so far, even though it has its drawbacks of having to pay for all your repairs and such. But I love the ability…
Aztec Inspired Jewelry Organizer
I have had all my necklaces in a drawer for years, but this year I realized how many statement necklaces I had that were getting all tangled and messed up by living in this drawer. Even my husband scoffed at my disorganization. That’s when you know you have a problem! I had to make a jewelry…
A New Farmhouse Coffee Table
The other day my friend texted me this: My friend: Where did you get your coffee table? It’s just what I’ve been looking for! My reply: Actually I built it. Sorry I know that isn’t helpful My friend: Of course you did. Ha! DIY friends, does this happen to you? It’s actually kind of an…
Pallet Sports Medal Display
It’s nearly time for fall soccer! I love/hate this season. I love going to the games and seeing my kids play and seeing my friends cheering for their own kids. But sometimes it’s cold or rainy and I don’t love it as much then. And at the end of the season I’m ready for it…
