I think I have a mild addiction to peel and stick wallpaper. I have used it in multiple rooms in my house and I can’t get over how easy it is to use and how quickly it changes a space. Today was the mudroom’s turn to get wallpapered! This is the room I change and […]
After living with the same decor for a couple of years, it was time to give my girl’s bedroom a makeover! When we finished building our home, my daughter had just turned four. To help her with the adjustment, I wanted her to pick out the paint color for her new bedroom. At the time, […]
At the bottom of my basement stairs was a plain white room that separates the guest room from the media and play room. There is no natural light right there, so I originally painted it white to make it as bright as possible. I recently got the itch to add some interest and wanted to […]

One of the most exciting projects we’ve been working on (and has been taking up all of our time) is the fireplace. The mantel was becoming a source of major frustration because, well, we don’t like to spend money. We did find one that we liked for a reasonable price but it wasn’t giving me […]
My kitchen has been blank and it’s starting to make me crazy. I really wanted something to be happening in here. I have an idea of what I want to do but I am reluctant to spend a pretty penny and then hate it. So I’ve decided to go with installing a quick and easy […]
