Bathroom Reveal | inbetweenchaos.com

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

May 22, 2017 · Leave a Comment

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

Bathroom Reveal | inbetweenchaos.com

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

April 28, 2017 · 3 Comments

  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….

IKEA Rast Hack – A Media Friendly Nightstand

IKEA Rast Hack Media Friendly Nightstand | inbetweenchaos.com

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

Shades of Gray Simple Winter Wreath | inbetweenchaos.com

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…

Create these festive glowing lanterns with a free pattern | inbetweenchaos.com

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…
