DIY Giant Built-In Wall Desk {Updated}
I shared this DIY wall desk I put together a few months back but today I wanted to share an update with even more ideas for customizing this on your own! With school starting virtual and many families needing a dedicated place for their kids to work, I thought it would be a perfect time to share this project again! This is pretty affordable and easy to do, and is great for creating a large workspace with plenty of storage. I listed and linked the items I used, as well as the steps of how to put it together! I have loved have this workspace and have been using it constantly- it’s so comfortable and sits at the perfect height for crafting, art projects, or working on my computer.

Modern Eclectic Bungalow Bathroom Renovation: Before + After
Today I’m excited to share this modern, eclectic bathroom renovation I designed and completed for a client. The impact we were able to make on this relatively small space is pretty incredible. We had to basically reconfigure the entire space due to the location of the toilet being permanent and the client wanting a walk in shower instead of tub. Due to the slanted ceilings (this home is a bungalow so this upstairs has kind of an attic space feel), we had to get creative with the layout! We ended up using the slanted ceiling as part of the shower and putting the shower on the right side of the bathroom as soon as you walk in. We made the sink the first thing you see straight ahead from the door and then were also able to add a little storage nook in the corner too!
Magic Light Trick: How-To, FAQ, + Best Lights to Use Roundup
As soon as I first came across Nesting With Grace’s magic light trick, I knew I was going to use it non-stop all over my house! Basically this is a quick and inexpensive little hack to use sconces and lights without having to do any electrical wiring at all. You simply attach a battery powered puck light inside of the fixture and then mount it to the wall like normal. It is such a great way to add character and coziness to a space without having to pay an electrician or do something super permanent either! I’ve now done this trick several times throughout my home and for clients, so here’s what I’ve learned so far:
Little Boy's Classic Americana Nautical Bedroom
If you’ve been following along with my design projects over the past year, you may remember this sweet little girl’s room update with gingham bedding and floral wallpaper. Next up, it was her brother’s turn for a little room revamp! We updated this little boy’s bedroom with some wallpaper, sconces, and a few pieces of wall decor to pull everything together and give it a little more of a grown-up feel that he will be able to continue to grow into! I love how the "faux shiplap” wallpaper turned out and you really would never know it’s not real until you get super close! Instead of lamps, we added these brass sconces which go perfectly with the nautical theme of the bedroom.
