Painted Tile Floor
I am always amazed at what a little paint can do to transform a space. When Cutting Edge Stencils offered to send me the stencil of my choice to try, I couldn’t wait to use one of their stencils for this painted tile floor! But I had such a hard time choosing the stencil pattern as there are SO many great options. I took a poll on my Instagram account and the metro hex stencil won! It’s such a beautiful pattern and looks really great and modern so it was perfect for this small space. Disclaimer: In the name of full transparency, please be aware that this blog post may…

Upholstered Storage Ottoman
Wherever I go, my kids follow. Wherever my kids go, junk follows. That junk gets thrown on our dining table and can stack up for days. And since I needed a place near our dining table to stash away said junk, I DIY’ed a cool upholstered storage ottoman to hide the mess! Check out the tutorial so you can build one for yourself!

Faux Beam Fireplace Mantle
Do you have that space in your home that is a little blah but technically OK? Like the space is functional but just not what you want? And you kind of have to give yourself permission to change it up? That’s how I felt about this fireplace located in my living room, lovingly called the “sitting and talking room” by my children. Enter the faux beam fireplace mantle! Read on to see how easy it is to create one of your own. The fireplace overall wasn’t bad but it was relatively bland.

Deck Refresh
Are you thinking about refreshing your deck this summer before the warm weather gets away from you? I drug my feet on getting this project started…but our deck was in desperate need of an update so we recently buckled down and got it done. It had been painted around the time that we purchased the house four years ago. Since then it has slowly become weathered and chipped and very dingy looking. Below I’ll walk you through the process of our easy DIY deck refresh.

DIY Easy Oversized Outdoor Adirondack Chair
I don’t know about you, but to me Adirondack chairs are synonymous with summer! I just love them! This DIY oversized Adirondack chair is by far one of my favorite DIY projects.

You’re welcome. So, complete disclosure here…these chairs are not a product of my creative genius. They are a gorgeous project that I found on pinterest and one that comes with a full step by step tutorial! I mean, does it…

Industrial Sports Bedroom
Ok guys….here it is! My son’s industrial (Boston) sports themed bedroom for the One Room Challenge! It was a lot of work and 6 weeks goes by faaasssttt…but I finished (nearly) everything on the list! Check it out below! Faux Brick Feature Wall Before this project, this wall was boring. Yes, we have rotated artwork in and out…but it still didn’t have any character. This faux brick feature wall adds that and more! Upholstered Headboard My son’s old bed had a headboard but it was dark and wooden. His only input into this room was that he wanted a “soft” headboard. I created this framed upholstered headboard to meet that…
