This light is part of The Ultimate DIY lighting guide. For more great DIY ideas, check it out here! I started this piece as a table lamp some 8 months ago! But my sample piece was large and I couldn’t find the right shade. I wanted to scale it down, but I just didn’t get…
Bath Vanity Plans
The biggest part of this little bathroom reno was the new vanity. It was also the part that stressed me the most! I’ve never made a vanity before, much less designed one, so I really took the time to think through all the little nuances…. like how the top attached, how to work around the…
Create Your Own Transom Window
I have lots of love for transoms. I know, who doesn’t, right? When we built our downstairs bath, we added an opening in the shower wall to help let in more light. But it was always a little…. blah. I could never put my finger on it, but it didn’t strike my fancy. So…
Herringbone Mirror
You may remember the herringbone fireplace insert I created (if not, check that out here!) I loved the way it turned out, and it was a lot of fun to do. Fast forward to my bath makeover planning, and I knew I needed something more substantial in the mirror department. And then it clicked; I could…
Interior Shutters
It’s time for another bathroom project! These shutters easily provide privacy when needed, but can still stay open and let in the light. These are super easy to make, especially with proper planning. Take a good look at your window and trim, and take a trip to the hardware store to look at hinges….
Faux Shiplap Tips: Part 2!
One of the major aspects of my bath refresh (check that out here!) was the faux shiplap. This was my third time installing this, and each time I’ve gotten better. If you didn’t see part 1 of these tips, check that out here. Chisel it, just a little bit! Don’t be afraid to go old…
IKEA Rast Hack – A Media Friendly Nightstand
A couple of weeks ago, I showed you my first IKEA Rast hack, which also just happened to be my first project! I used 4 Rasts to create one long media console. It was a success, and I loved the storage it provided. I’m the type who needs storage behind doors or in drawers so…
Simple Felt Flower Winter Wreath
Poor winter… it gets a bit of the shaft around here with respect to decorations. Once the Christmas decor is packed away, it almost feels sparce around here. And Christmas is really the only time I decorate with wreaths. I find they tend to get a little too overdone… you know, too much ribbon and…
Throwback Thursday – My First Project!
UPDATE: After posting this, I got a lot of questions on how exactly I assembled it. So I’ve updated the details below. Hope it helps! I thought it might be fun to take a trip down memory lane and show you my first project… as in the first one where I cut my own wood….
Punched Joy Lanterns
If there’s one thing that can make a house feel cozy at Christmas, it’s soft, glowing light. Whether it be from the tree or candles or any other lights you use to decorate, it doesn’t feel like Christmas until the house is aglow. I saw some adorable vases that spelled “Joy” and were adorned with…
