This audio took my breath away. How often do we put ourselves on the “love it” list? It’s not something we automatically think of when we’re asked about the things we love… is it? This audio was a punch to the gut, because I don’t think I would have even named myself if asked this question. Sure I love DIY,, home design, my family and I am proud of myself. But do I really LOVE myself?

Sure, I love myself. But what is truly loving oneself? Is it buying that coffee? Or self care? Or is it accepting your body as it is, and giving yourself the space to be authentically…YOU?

Or is it giving yourself grace in difficult situations? So ask yourself, how can you love YOU more?

Two of my favorite hidden details of the pantry! I tried to make this space as functional as possible while squeezing use out of every square inch.

Pet food storage and a hidden medicine pull out were a no brainer addition to this space!

| Reveal Day | the pantry that has taken almost a year to complete is finally done! This project has been a labor of love and determination. It’s full of sacrifices and wins and every emotion imaginable. See the end for how she looked before.

Isn’t she purdy?!?!

DIY and creating things with my own hands is how I recharge. Something about picking up the tools and watching your vision come to life invigorates me. How about you? How do you recharge?

| Vacay Recap | I can say without a doubt cruising to the Bahamas was the best thing we’ve done in a while. From relaxing at sunset on the deck, the kids exploring and making friends, swimming with pigs, and just disconnecting for a week… it was so worth it.

We sailed on @royalcaribbean ‘a Liberty of The Seas to the Bahamas and we had so much fun!
Stay tuned for the blog posts coming soon!

Sharing one of my favorite DIY “hacks”.

I have found that using melamine sponges gives me a nice, smooth finish on my staining projects. There’s less dripping, minimal bubbles and they’re affordable from @amazon and the dollar store!

Cheers to one year post mold remediation. To celeb

Cheers to one year post mold remediation. To celebrate, here is the aftermath of me discovering mold in our floors. To think I thought it wasn’t that bad 🤣🤣🤣

It’s crazy to think that almost a year ago, we were living in a hotel while our home was demo’d.
It often feels like it hasn’t come very far, but when I sit and look around, I see all of the amazing things that we’ve accomplished. The bathroom is done. The pantry is at the 90% mark, a grew a whole ass human, and we’re planning so many more projects.

We’re planning an exterior renovation, a nursery, finishing the kitchen and so so so much more.

2023 is our year.

Every time I share this bathroom, the most asked question is “where are the floors from?”

They’re the color Beam from the Elite line over at @hewnfloor.

They’re not LVP or wood, or tile. They’re Stoneform™️ and they have held up ridiculously well in our bathroom. I even dropped a brad nailer from the top of the ladder and you would never know.

Toilet leaking from the ring? Let’s fix that so

Toilet leaking from the ring? Let’s fix that so you don’t have to hire a plumber!

It’s honestly really simple!
1: Turn off water and flush toilet.
2:Shopvac the tank. Learn from my mistakes. 🤣
3: Unscrew bolts at the base of the tank and carefully remove toilet.
4: Remove all remnants of old wax ring on floor and toilet.
5: Replace the new ring per instructions (I like wax-free rings!)
6: Carefully replace toilet over bolts and firmly press down if using wax. Do not over tighten! You can crack your flange (ask me how I know 😑)
7: Attach water line, turn on and fill.
8: Flush and check for leaks!

VOILA! You fixed a leaking toilet ring! Give yourself a pat on the back!

2022- the year of few projects but a LOT of growth

2022- the year of few projects but a LOT of growth. This year tested me in ways that I wasn’t sure we’d make it through. It feels like so much has happened yet so little. We started the year with a bang, tossed in the addition of our little Luca, sprinkled in a few mental health crises and a bathroom renovation. How do you recap a year like 2022 in a short little reel?

I am so grateful for each and every one of you here in this community.

Here’s to an amazing 2023!

Don’t let the naysayers keep you from creating your dream home! I’m so happy that I hacked a glass cabinet to create the cabinets of my dreams.
