A collection of DIY projects and home decor inspiration.
My home office doubles as my craft room and I knew I needed to add some functional organization to the room. This DIY craft room pegboard was the perfect way to display my craft supplies! I picked up a large peg board from Lowes and we measured the space above my desk so it would fit perfectly. I also picked up some trim board from Lowes in order to make a frame around the pegboard. The frame ...
Do you love an IKEA hack as much as I do? This IKEA DIY desk hack was so easy and came in at only $40! I was so excited this past spring when the IKEA opened in Indianapolis. We used to drive to Cincinnati or Chicago to go to IKEA so this was a welcomed addition to our city. We picked up two of these LERBERG Trestle legs for $15 each. If you don't have an IKEA in your area, don't worry, they ...
When we moved into our house we had really outdated light fixtures (think shiny brass from the 80's). I knew I wanted to create a few DIY light fixtures in order to not spend a ton of money on brand new lights. We made a clothespin chandelier for the laundry room, used buckets for our pendants over the kitchen island, and used a large candle holder for the light in my son's room. I love adding ...
When we were house shopping years ago I dreamed of having a large mudroom with a bench and lockers and decorating it with cute baskets! Of course I had a Pinterest board dedicated to what could be with a mudroom.

Are you ready to take your door hardware from brassy to classy?! I see so many homes that were built around 1990 through early 2000's that have shiny brassy door hardware throughout the entire house. I have an easy and inexpensive door update that you can tackle in a weekend. Does this look familiar? I will acknowledge that gold hardware is coming back in full force lately, but it is usually a ...
Aren't first impressions the most important? This is an easy DIY project that can upgrade your entry way! As you walk into the entry way of our current house there are walls on each side and a the ceiling is extremely high. On the bedroom side my husband built us a DIY barn door and I was ready to upgrade the other side of the entry as well. I've been loving board and batten so we decided to go ...
When my son was born I knew I wanted to make a DIY growth chart. As with most things time got away from me and when he was about 19 months I realized I wasn't tracking his growth! I was doing laundry and he was "helping" and I decided to start tracking behind the laundry room door since we were in that room. It is definitely the lazy way to track his height! Then my daughter came and conveniently ...
