We moved our buffet {formerly used as a TV Stand} into the dining room last week. Since we’ve moved in to this home, I haven’t really had a surface to style and decorate with pretty things. So as soon as we got the walls painted, I was ready to bring together a mix of pieces …

One of our first-ever purchases from Ikea was this red clock. We loved the unique, modern shape and it fit perfectly in the fun, bright color scheme we had planned for the basement in our old house. This was one of the first rooms that we decorated in that home. I still like the …
I like coral as an accent color and have seen it used beautifully in some dining rooms. Like this: via Remodelaholic // via Tracey Interiors But I just don’t feel the same way about the coral walls in our dining room {and hallway… and stairwell}. We’re just more of a neutrals, blues and greens type …
Recently we completed a sweet little set of custom prints. This trio of prints was designed for a nursery. I love talking with our clients, from learning what has inspired the art {in this case, a new baby!} to seeing their choice of color combinations. In this case, the colors were based on the nursery …
So it’s time to discuss vanity tops. A few weeks ago when I shared our marble vanity top I mentioned that I wanted to share about the decision-making process. Choosing a vanity top was a much lengthier and more expensive process than we expected. If you recall from our original plan, we were …
Our church had a Yard Sale fundraiser and I came home with this small dresser. It’s low height makes it perfect as a side table. Yes, a dresser can be a side table! {A dresser is one of the best pieces of furniture you can buy, see some more examples in this post.} In fact, …
When we started planning our bathroom renovation it was a goal to reuse a few pieces. This included updating our mirror and painting the frame white {you can see that in the mood board}. However, after the room started coming together and I saw this photo, I decided to go with a wood tone. …
We had several goals when we started working on the bathroom renovation… increase from one to two sinks, get rid of the wallpaper and replace the peeling linoleum floors… to name a few. However, there is another goal that is always on my “to do” list and that is to increase storage. In the end, …
When our tile was laid we were instructed to seal it in about a week. I’d never sealed anything before, so this was a learning experience. We used SurfaceGard Sealer from our local True Value store. For those of you who don’t live near a True Value, the exact same product on Amazon is pretty …
A couple weeks ago our tile was installed, and now we’ve got the next big piece in place… our vanity top. I’m so pleased with it. The grey veining is beautiful. Picking out our vanity top was not easy. Carrara marble is what I had in mind from the beginning; but the initial prices that …
How was your weekend? I love the small projects Erica shares each Friday and this weekend project was just like many of those… simple, colorful and a great use of items I had on hand. If you’ve been around for awhile you know that Mike and I are in the middle of renovating our bathroom. …
Hello, new tile floor. To call this an improvement is an understatement. You might remember from the original plan that we were considering installing the tile ourselves. However, as we got into the project several things changed our minds: It took 4 days to remove the wallpaper {spread out over a few weeks as we …
Removing wallpaper is not the most inspiring or creative endeavor… so yesterday, even though there is more work to be done in the bathroom I took a break to paint this mirror and make it pretty. I picked up this mirror for $6 at a Yard Sale. It needed a coat of paint; but I …
After completing my DIY runner, I decided to try some of the fishing line on another rug project. It might not be easy to see, but the rug was unraveling in several spots. This wasn’t an expensive rug originally, maybe $10. It was purchased at Home Goods and sat under a chair in the sunroom …
If you’ve read many blogs or spent much time on Pinterest, I’d say there is a good chance you know Cassity of Remodelaholic. She and her husband, Justin, share all about their home renovations with superb, detailed tutorials. I’ve referred to their Built-In Closet Hack several times to research constructing built-in cabinetry. When they aren’t …
