DIY Stenciled Concrete Floors: Laundry Room Update Part 1

September 27, 2018 | 3 Comments

When we first moved into our house 3 years ago, I couldn’t believe the size of our laundry room – It was so spacious! In fact, it was almost too big; I had no idea what to do with it. At first, it was a catch-all storage room with bad lighting. It took a couple…

Big Girl Room Redesign

May 29, 2018 | 1 Comment

My daughter’s room is one that we redesigned a while ago and I still haven’t shared pictures here on the blog! I suppose it’s partly because I keep adding to it and it honestly still isn’t “complete.” But if I waited until something was 100% complete in my house, I wouldn’t photograph any of it!…

Our IKEA mudroom benches, 3 years later

April 11, 2018 | Leave a Comment

When we moved into our home 3 years ago, one of the first things we did was build a mudroom bench by the front door. With a family of 5 and seasonal weather, we knew we needed a place for shoes, hats, jackets, gloves, scarves and backpacks. I hacked some IKEA benches and created the…

Modern Farmhouse Bedroom Redesign

December 18, 2017 | 1 Comment

It’s hard to believe that we have lived in our house for 2 1/2 years. As it usually goes, some days it feels like we just moved in and others it feels like we’ve been here forever. We have done quite a bit to our house over the years, including some new windows and some electrical…

Essentials for a Personalized New Home

June 13, 2017 | Leave a Comment

When we moved into our first home almost 2 and a half years ago, we were very lucky to buy a flip. It was completely redone on the inside and it was move-in ready, save for a few minor details. There’s only one problem I see with most flips… unless your flip was done by Joanna Gaines…

Black and White Woodland Nursery

May 23, 2017 | Leave a Comment

When we moved into our house 2 years ago, it was a great time to revamp my son’s nursery. I never really liked it to begin with, and it’s all because the walls were a terrible shade of yellow that we weren’t allowed to paint because we were renters. I tried to roll with it,…

Fixer Upper Style: Industrial pipe shelving and shiplap

April 26, 2017 | Leave a Comment

The title of this post basically encompasses everything I am passionate about when it comes to home decor. Give me shiplap and give it to me on every wall. That’s how to make me a happy lady. So when we moved into our home 2 years ago and the walls were all textured, blank and…

Modern Farmhouse Bathroom

September 23, 2016 | Leave a Comment

When we first moved into our Colorado home last year, it had been completely redone on the inside and sold as a flip. Obviously this had its perks, since we didn’t have to put a ton of money into fixing anything right off the bat. It was also a blank slate for me to decorate,…

Backyard Patio Makeover

July 22, 2016 | 1 Comment

At the beginning of the summer, I sought out to overhaul our patio a bit and make it more of a livable space. Over the years, the Mr. and I have had lots of talks about extending our living area by creating outdoor spaces to hang out. We love the idea of a smaller house…

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
