China Hutch Upcycle

China Hutch Upcycle

I didn't actually realize how long this project had been in the works until I sat down to write about it. For those who follow me on Instagram, you might remember the stories I posted about this hutch. I found it last year in May and HAD to have it. The problem, it is HUGE, [...]

Nursery Crib

Nursery Crib

Someone contacted me asking about some of the furniture details in Landon's nursery and I realized that I never shared the finished crib! No time like the present... I remember sharing a while back that I was having trouble finding a crib that I liked. I wanted white distressed wood. Everything I was finding in [...]

Breakfast Nook Table

Breakfast Nook Table

So it's been a month since I've posted 🙁 #1 I can't believe it has been that long! #2 That also means that this pregnancy is moving along insanely fast! In just 1 week I will already be 24 weeks!! I'm starting to panic about all the things I haven't even begun to tackle in [...]

Room Makeover…Home Bar

Room Makeover…Home Bar

Last week when I was sick, I started re-watching the Gossip Girl series on DVD. It helped pass the 4 days I spent in bed. The problem...now I can't stop watching episodes...back-to-back-to-back. It is making me completely unproductive. All I've gotten accomplish today is eaten 2 meals, watched 4 episodes and styled the new little bar area [...]

DIY Upcycled Frame

DIY Upcycled Frame

As I type this, I am watching Fixer Upper re-runs and the episode where Joanna created a wall sign with the saying "today is a good day for a good day" is on! It's meant to be that I have this sign in my home and post it for you all. I've had this frame in my [...]

DIY Menu Chalkboard

DIY Menu Chalkboard

I finally bought a fiddle leaf fig tree!!!! I have been wanting one of these for SO long but have been nervous to pull the trigger because they are spendy and I have what you would call a black thumb as opposed to a green thumb. Now, I didn't re-pot the plant because as I [...]

Upcycled Queen Bed

Upcycled Queen Bed

So it's been almost a month and a half since my last blog post and I have felt like a part of my heart was missing! It has been an absolutely crazy past 6 weeks with work. And when I say work, I'm not talking about fun blog stuff in the works. I mean, my [...]

Antique Coffee Table

Antique Coffee Table

My mom refinishes old furniture, which is where I got this DIY bug from. She had an upcoming show and was low on pieces and asked me to shop around some Portland thrift stores to see what I could find. I called her from the Habitat for Humanity Restore to let her know I found [...]

Painted Front Door

Painted Front Door

My mom painted our front door black when I was younger and I'm pretty sure I looked at her like she had four heads...and look at me now. Yep, four heads, just like my mama. When I decided to change my front door, what I really wanted was a huge, knotty pine wood front door [...]

Vinyl Plank Flooring

Vinyl Plank Flooring

I'm almost finished with the flooring in the foyer and I'm so impressed with the look and how easy it was to install that I just had to share the details with you all. When I was trying to decide what flooring to go with there were a couple of factors I considered: 1) Price [...]

Crown Moulding

Crown Moulding

This is the project I am most proud of so far, it took me a while to get it right (and by that I mean to get to the point that my perfectionistic personality was satisfied) but I did it and am super pleased with the result. I used 5 1/4 inch angled moulding to get [...]

Foyer Table Re-do

Foyer Table Re-do

  I'm SO excited about this table you guys!! This was my first project with Annie Sloan chalk paint and I'm hooked. My mom has been using Annie Sloan paint on her furniture (she re-finishes old furniture and does an amazing job, check out her Facebook page...Simply Country Quilts & Antiques) and she swears by it. [...]

Deck Restoration

Deck Restoration

  Whoever lived here before us didn't seem concerned with the obscene amount of rain we get in the pacific northwest and saw no reason to put any sort of finish on the front porch deck. The wood was weathered and worn, dirty and grey; much like the wood I take off of a pallet [...]
