My DIY Greenhouse
Well if you’ve been following for a while you know that last year for mother’s day, Alex bought me a cute little greenhouse. I have always dreamed of having a greenhouse so I was beyond thrilled. It came in a tiny box with a million pieces and took forever to put together! I loved it so much and featured it here.
How To Deep Clean Your Porches + Patios to Keep Them Clean + Fresh All Summer
I have been meaning to share my patio cleaning tips and tricks with you all over the past couple of years and finally got the chance to share while in the process! I wanted to share my deep-cleaning tips with you all since I had so many questions about how I clean my porch and keep it looking nice thorughout the summer. I really want this space to feel like an extension of our home and as much like a truly living space as possible but that means I have to work extra hard to keep it clean, free of bugs, and looking fresh!
One Room Challenge Playroom Makeover: Week 6 Update
This week was all about the walls! I made more progress on the DIY stenciled wallpaper wall and also added some fun new additions to the book wall (read more about that here)! Check out the videos below for a peek at the process for both of these. I also explained more in depth the DIY wallpaper process in week four’s post here. I started peeling the painter’s tape off of a couple sections and it was so exciting to see the completed look. I just have one more section to go before we are done!

DIY Inexpensive Large Built-In Wall Desk
I am so excited to finally be putting together a blog post about my giant built in desk in the office space! 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. What I love about this project is that you can use the basic idea and materials I listed but really customize it to fit your own space/style! Whether you use different dressers, knobs, or a countertop- there’s so many ways to create this awesome built-in workspace on a budget! Let me know if you try this project and how you make it your own!
One Room Challenge: Playroom Makeover Week 4 Update: DIY Stenciled Wallpaper using Silhouette Cameo
Well I feel like I don’t have a ton of progress to share this week even though I actually HAVE made a ton of progress this week, it’s just all about halfway done and not very attractive for photos! We are kind of in the phase of the makeover where I have about 10 projects going at once and the room is a hot mess: paint cans everywhere, ladders, toys and regular decor thrown everywhere, walls stripped down and covered in painter’s tape. But despite the mess we are making a little more progress every day!

DIY Giant Playroom Chalkboard on a Budget
I kept seeing these cute chalkboard walls in the rooms I was saving for inspiration for our playroom makeover and fell in love with the idea of an oversized chalkboard to fill one of the walls. We decided to tackle this project ourselves, as I wasn’t able to find a pre-made chalkboard like this for a good price. This entire project cost about $30 to make (assuming you already have the tools you need!). Below I’m laying out what supplies you need and step by step instructions for this easy project! You really could make this other shapes as well besides the house shape if you want! It’s such a fun and functional way to fill an empty way in a nursery, kid’s room, or playroom!
