I couldn’t settle for just anything when I designed our entryway bench.

Best DIY Sunscreen
The sun is not my friend.
I want to look beautifully bronzed, but it refuses, leaving me lobster-red instead. The worst part? I inherited my mother’s skin, which means as the daughter of a Stage 4 Melanoma survivor, I have to be extra careful.
Simple DIY Headboard
There’s just something about a headboard that makes the entire space of a master bedroom look cozy. Complete. Put together.
The only problem we had was choosing one that fit our style.
Oh, and that didn’t cost a fortune.
Thankfully, an idea came to mind after seeing some Pinspiration and watching some home renovation shows.
There was hope!
A Line Lifted is a Line Loved
My middle school classroom needed a little extra color, but I didn’t want to fill my walls with the standard posters I’d been using in the past.
I wanted something unique. Something that would strike a chord in the students I see each day.
Something to build character.
I was feeling a little crafty, and I like quotes, so creating canvases with some of my favorite lines made sense.
I really like how they turned out!
Super Storage!
I’ll admit it.
When Steve wanted to get the kids superhero costumes, I didn’t think they’d use them all that often.
In the end we bought them because of his ultimate trump card when it comes to our children.
He knows more about being a little boy than I do.
So, I clicked “Add to Cart” even though I didn’t really see them playing (what was in my mind )”dress up.”
Fortunately, I was so very wrong.
Warm and Cozy Lighting
Something you should know if you follow this blog is that my husband can do anything.
I mean it. Anything.
I point to pictures for remodeling, and he just…does it. Creates it. Poof! Out of thin air.
This bookshelf lighting is just one of many projects you’ll see we’ve tackled over the nearly five years living here.
The Wall of Us
When we remodeled our living room, I knew tackling this super-long wall was going to take some extra love and a whole lot of patience. It didn’t disappoint.
I’d been looking into galleries for a while, but nothing I saw matched what I wanted exactly. Finally, after a long time of frustrated searching, I realized why.
