Primary Bedroom Design – One Room Challenge Week 1

no Comments

After seeing many people online (aka instagram) participate in the BGH One Room Challenge, I've decided to participate too this fall! For week 1, I'm sharing my primary bedroom design plan, as it stands right now. At the beginning of May, Andrew and I had this crazy idea to switch rooms with our two older kids. To recap, we have 5 members in our family and 3 bedrooms in our house. Our two oldest children, who are 6 and 4 years old, share a room and our youngest daughter sleeps in the 3rd bedroom, our nursery. Now, before you label…

A Pinterest Party: DIY Clay Bowls

no Comments

As I was scrolling Pinterest one day, this project caught my eye. I had never worked with clay (in my adult life anyways) and since I love to try new crafts, this seemed perfect for a Pinterest Party. DIY clay bowls are beginner friendly, don't use many supplies, and are inexpensive to make. What's not to like?! Two packs of clay made 7-8 small circular and oblong bowls. Obviously, the size of your pieces will determine how many you can make. This would be a great craft to make a few extras for birthday and hostess gifts - just stash…

Before & After: A Small Bathroom Renovation

no Comments

Recently, I shared how we built a modern industrial bathroom vanity, and today I wanted to share the rest of this small bathroom renovation with you. This bathroom is located at my in-laws' house in Saint Louis, Missouri, and we were lucky enough to be part of the process of this remodel. The old bathroom was original to their 1960s house and included some very retro blue tile. My in-laws were already contemplating a bathroom reno when one day last fall there was an unfortunate event that ended in a broken toilet tank. This was the catalyst for this project…

Pumpkin-Honey Pancakes

no Comments

It's fall y'all! Okay, so maybe fall doesn't technically start until September 22nd, but by social media standards, its fall. And I have been waiting to share these pumpkin-honey pancakes with you for-ev-er. Please tell me you got 'The Sandlot' reference? The truth is, I make these pancakes all year round. If you follow me on instagram, you know I'm always whipping these up on weekend mornings. I just can't help myself. They are that good. And, I haven't met anything pumpkin flavored that I didn't like. So, why limit pumpkin flavor to only a few months a year? And…

Building a Modern Industrial Bathroom Vanity

no Comments

Today, I'm excited to share a DIY project we completed last year. I know, I know, it's been 9 months since 'last year.' But with contractor lead times being what they are now, it took much longer than expected for this modern industrial bathroom vanity to make it into its home. Andrew's parents, my in-laws, recently completed a gut renovation of their primary bathroom. While in the design phase, they consulted us and asked if we could build a custom bathroom vanity to fit their narrow space. Sound familiar? We also built this vanity last year for Andrew's brother who…
