Mudroom Makeover Progress-One Room Challenge Week 3
Mudroom Makeover Project-One Room Challenge Week 2
Here we are! Already in week 2 of the One Room Challenge. This mudroom makeover has been a long time coming. And I am so excited to finally be "breaking ground" on this project. As I pointed out from last week's post (week one), I jumped the gun on having this closet space removed about a year and a half ago. I had big plans for this space and then....it sat there.... And accumulated ... continue reading...
Mudroom Makeover Plan: One Room Challenge Week 1
Warning: The following pictures are far from magazine worthy. :( But they give a good portrayal of the current state of our mudroom. So, about a year and a half ago I had my handyman, Max, rip out the coat closet in my mudroom. My plan was to make the space much more functional by building lockers for my kiddos to drop their stuff in a more organized way, as opposed to dropping everything at ... continue reading...

Give ... continue reading...
An Easy How To Install Craftsman Trim Tutorial
I've been working on the mudroom makeover this month and wanted to pop in here and share with you a super-easy way to update your trimwork. Our home was built in 2005 and I have slowly (but it's happening) been changing out all of our builder's-grade trim to Craftsman Trim.

How to Build a Large Word Sign
Do you love the look of a large word sign? Is the cost a little more than you want to fork out? Why not make your own? The inspiration for this project was a metal vintage sign at a local antique store, that I fell in love with. The cost was a little more than I wanted to spend, so I found a way to duplicate it using old wood that I already had. Now I know what you may be thinking: I don't have ... continue reading...
