New living room floor loading. I have wanted to

New living room floor loading.

I have wanted to demo these floors since the day we put in the offer for our house. Life and renovations had other plans but finally, after staring at these broken tiles for 5 years I got to tear them out.

Our renovation journey has been one of the hardest things we’ve dealt with in our path to homeownership. And I can finally say, it’s coming together. It may have taken us 4 years and thousands of dollars more than planned.

But I can finally start putting our house back together.

Stick around. I promise it’s fun here!

I swear I had great intentions during the fall to clean up and plant bulbs so Spring was pretty. Oh well… there’s always next year 🤣

I’m slowly unlearning the need for convenience and finding ways to save money, support local, and learn skills that used to be handed down for generations… starting with making butter.

Did you know it was ridiculously easy to make your own?! All you need is heavy whipping cream and a mixer! It doesn’t need to be a fancy stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer. Beat the heavy whipping cream until it separates, squeeze off (and save) the butter milk… dipping it in ice water to help get it all off. Store however you want! And that’s it!

Preorders from the @lenox Village drop are arriving! This is not a drill!!! I didn’t expect this until September so it was a pleasant surprise finding this on my door step over the weekend!

Gym Basement | PART 2 : We have this tiny basement

Gym Basement | PART 2 : We have this tiny basement that we have been half -a$$ using as a gym. But honestly, this thing looked like a creepy m*rder dungeon so no one really went down here. I wanted to create a warm and inviting space my teen boys could use and that would be functional for my entire family.

This project was only supposed to take a week and under $400 but I broke the giant mirror we had and had to buy more materials I planned on.

After three attempts at ordering mirrors I finally got these arched mirrors hung and the rubber floor installed.

In total I spent a little over $500 which is over my original budget but I feel like I still kept the cost reasonable under the circumstances.

I hope this inspires you to take small steps to make your home pretty and functional for your family.

Here’s something I wish I knew before I became a homeowner. FIRE SAFETY.

Our house had two whole alarms… for the entire house. Did you know you need one on each level AND in each sleeping space? Yeah, I didn’t either so I’m here to teach you the things I wish I knew before buying our first home. Stick around!

Comment FIRE and I’ll DM you a link to all the fire safety essentials you need.

This Butler’s pantry was the second project we completed after mold destroyed our house. Needless to say, I think it’s my favorite.

It’s been three years since our mold remediation. I still can’t believe I built this bathroom in six weeks… while pregnant. 10/10 do not recommend.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. But dang I sure am proud of myself.

I’m converting this tiny m*rder basement into a cozy home gym for my teens. The budget is small but I think I can rock it with a few simple upgrades.

I broke the mirror I wanted to salvage so I need your help picking which mirror layout looks best. Let me know in the comments which one you choose! Which mirror layout is best?

The M1 sofa from @rove.lab is the coolest! It does

The M1 sofa from @rove.lab is the coolest! It doesn’t require assembly and is shipped in boxes that are easy to carry. As a mom of three very active and sensory seeking boys, I needed a sofa that could withstand all the crashing around in the playroom. Now I need one for our living room because our sectional has seen better days.

Annnnd… welcome back to part two of building a paver patio! It may seem like we didn’t get very far but it took DAYS to get the base level and the inch of paver said laid and level. Not only that, it took nearly two hours to get the first big paver laid because it’s the middle of December and everything froze while we were working 🫠.

I promise things should get moving along now so make sure you come back for part three!

Got faded lanterns? Just rub them down with some oil! You don’t always need to grab that can of spray paint to fix things that have faded.

I think I found the coolest gift for toddlers this holiday season! It blows up in seconds and my toddler has spent hours in this thing. My teens even sit in it. It’s currently on sale for 20% off.

Let DIY & turn my backyard into a moody Tuscan oasis! Day 1 of the patio build has officially kicked off!

When we toured this house four years ago I instantly dreamed of building a beautiful patio off the deck where we could make memories as a family.

After months of planning and getting permits, the day is finally here!

Stick around cause it’s going to be EPIC!

Remember the viral giant nutcrackers from a few years ago?

Mine have sat unused jn our garage for the past 3 years because they didn’t work and I am not a bright colors girly, so they just didn’t match the aesthetic.

I’m all for reusing and repurposing rather than throwing away and I’ve been on a “purging the clutter kick”.
When I found these babies I knew I had to give them a new life.

I grabbed leftover spray paint from another project and painted them back. I found a case of various gold Rub N Buff tubes on a local facebook freebies page and mixed them all up to get this aged brass look.

Did you buy these when they went viral a few years ago? If so, now you have another look for them!
