DIY projects to nurture hearts and home
One of our favorite Halloween activities is booing our neighbors with treats and goodies. Have you ever been booed? My daughter was three when we first got booed, and she was beside herself with excitement. We spied our neighbors running away but didn’t get a great view of them. Those stinkers! It made it so much more fun for her. Wanna play along? Here’s how
Are you ever too old for a playhouse? The answer is obviously no. But when you have to kneel AND crouch to make it inside, some creativity is all you need to find new ways to enjoy it. Since it’s getting harder for me to play IN my kids playhouse, I did a wooden playhouse makeover instead. You see, painting their playhouse is what I
We recently did a super quick DIY bookcase upgrade to our playroom bookcases. We inherited a pair of bookcases with our house, but we’ve struggled with where to put them. We are always in need of more storage space in our small house, and these bookcases were very underutilized in their previous spot. We wanted our bookcases to flank a daybed in our playroom, but

A while back I posted about our small closet makeover into a mini office. After living with the space for a few months, we made three changes to add more function.

If there’s one thing about decorating that most homes have in common, it’s a bookshelf. I’m going out on a limb and saying most homes, let’s say 98% of homes, have a bookshelf or two somewhere. We just added a literal wall of bookshelves to our home (read about the build process here), and you know what part of the project took the longest? Yep,
We are officially on the finale of our fireplace built ins project: adding the actual fireplace built ins! Hooray! Building built ins on the sides of the fireplace was always the end goal of our living room project because we needed storage!! Functional storage! Our vision had always been built in cabinets on the bottom (to hide toys) and built in shelving above the cabinets.
We can finally mark our DIY fireplace tile and mantle update as finished. It’s checked off. The whole nine yards is complete. Ok, enough. Let’s cut to the chase. See what I did there? Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. In all seriousness, we are so excited to share about our DIY fireplace tile and mantle project. The finished look is everything we were hoping
When you live in a smaller home, one of the biggest challenges is finding practical storage solutions. Living room storage can be especially tricky, and even moreso with small kiddos.
