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…
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….
Bath Reveal
A couple of weeks ago, I sent my sister a pic of some of my bathroom projects. She responded that she couldn’t wait to see it, and all I could think was, “Me either!” Well, the wait is finally over! The construction site my husband lovingly called our bathroom is gone. I had a few reasons…
Bath Update & A Little Paula Abdul
We had some awesome weather here last week, which gave me a chance to head out to the garage and make some progress on my bath projects. Which is good. Because I have a lot of them! I stained and cut the wood for shutters to go on the window. Now I need to touch…

UPDATE: I’ve updated most of the links below for availability purposes. But if you are still looking for more options, check out my new post here. If you’ve been here before, you know that all of the curtains in my house are hung with command hooks. I love how stinkin’ easy they are to hang…
Valentine’s Felt Flower Wreath
If you’re an avid reader of my blog (and c’mon… who isn’t?), you’re anxiously awaiting my Valentine’s Day felt flower wreath. Am I right? So without further ado… It will probably bring back fond memories of my gray winter wreath that I shared yesterday. That shouldn’t be surprising… the flowers are all the same 😉…
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…
Whitewashed Gather Art
Our dining room at the Plaid House was pretty lonely. I needed more quick art work like I did in the living room. I had the design of this piece floating in the back of my mind, and I thought it would be perfect for the dining room. But I was trying to use my luan that…
IKEA Farmhouse Table Hack
In the interest of saving the world since it seems we are a bit short on IKEA table hacks, I’m sharing this super easy version that can be made for around $30 – and you don’t even NEED to cut any lumber! While staging the Plaid House, I needed a small, unobtrusive table for the…
