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….
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 Refresh: Update
There’s nothing like the flu to hinder progress! I’m less than 2 weeks (hopefully!) away from starting on my next flip house, and I thought I would be done with this bathroom by now. But alas, some aches and pains and some backwards progress have kept me square in the middle of this project. I…

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…
