Choosing the Right Rug Pad and Why It Matters
Progress in my daughter’s bedroom makeover is crawling along over here. After shopping around for the right jute area rug, I did finally go with this one in the herringbone pattern. Having had jute rugs before, I do notice that sometimes they can feel a little uncomfortable underfoot. This time around I decided to try […]
Inexpensive Flooring That Looks Like Real Hardwood
You guys had several questions about the flooring in my daughter’s room last week when I posted about her white dresser. You will not believe it when I tell you how much these beautiful floors were! Another thing you might now believe is how long they sat in a corner before we finally installed them. […]
How to Make a Room Look Bigger
You guys all know by now I live in a relatively small house. I’ve talked before about how to make a room look bigger, there are definitely a number of ways to to do that. One of those ways is to keep everything cohesive. This creates the illusion of flow. If you have too many different […]
How to Remove Tile (Ugh!)
Let me apologize in advance for the lack of pretty pictures today. This project was a messy one, as you will see! One thing I have wanted to do forever in my house is to remove the outdated flooring that we have downstairs and replace it all with new matching wood floors. We had tile […]
Painting Grout How-To
Two weeks ago I showed you how I updated my tiled bathroom floors with these amazing floor stickers. The existing brown grout in the space was not going to go well with this gray and white pattern. I did some research on painting grout and decided that was the way to go. Painting grout isn’t difficult, […]
Floor Stickers in The Bathroom!
As I mentioned last week, I really jumped into this $100 Room Challenge without any kind of design plan, which is never good when you’re on a deadline. However, one thing I knew from the start was I wanted to try something fun on the floor in this little bathroom. I had seen these removable […]
How To Paint Linoleum Flooring
It’s been a while since I’ve shared any progress on my niece’s kitchen makeover, but I’ve finally tacked the one project that I’ve wanted to do the most since we started updating this space – we painted the linoleum flooring! I saved this for last for 2 reasons. First, because we were painting everything else, […]
Five for Friday #63 Design Picks
Happy Friday guys! It’s hard to believe it’s Halloween weekend already! We don’t have any Halloween festivities planned this year. We used to go all out with big parties, but after a few years of that it loses some of its original excitement. Once that happens, it’s usually time to move on. I’ve found so […]

Happy Saturday! I’m SO happy for a long weekend. Long weekends mean more time to DIY around here. What are your Memorial Day plans? It’s the last Saturday of the month which means it’s time for another Saturday Showcase where I share what my talented blogging friends and I have been up to this month! […]
One Room Challenge Bedroom Makeover Reveal
Last week one of my blogging friends posted that this One Room Challenge is making her feel like the mayor of crazy town. Hilarious, but so true! I thought choosing a bedroom for my ORC makeover would be easy, especially after completely renovating my kitchen in six weeks. I should know by now with any renovation […]
How To Remove Carpeting
Chip Gaines lied. Demo day isn’t really fun. Last week I told you all about how to install vinyl floors. That was the easy part. Removing the carpets prior to installing was the hardest part of that project. It was a dirty job, but necessary, and of course worth it in the end. There aren’t any […]
