We have a serious case of deja vu around here. Weren’t we just on the subject of flooring like 2 weeks ago? This one will be not nearly as painful though, I swear. (And that last flooring debacle had a happy ending, so we’re good.) With the powder room completely knocked out, Robert and I haveRead more
Dry Brushed Black Mirror Makeover
Thank y’all SO much for all of your sweet comments on our powder room reveal earlier this week. My cheeks hurt by the end of the day from grinning so much. Seriously, how on earth did a get so lucky with you guys rootin’ us along? I really thought I was finished with sharing theRead more
Aqua Meets Urban Powder Room Reveal
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Delta Brand. The opinions and text are all mine. Some of the best rooms are the ones that check off multiple boxes. You know what I mean? Several years ago, before I ever painted a piece of furniture or set out to decorate aRead more
Why I Refuse To Put Farmhouse Decor In My Home
Hear me out. Because I know that title is very, “Well, aren’t we up on our high horse today?” Haha! Can I tell you that I adore rustic farmhouse decor down to the very last cotton stem? Can we still be friends now? Okay. Whew! I was worried. If you’ve been following this little ol’ blog ofRead more
Weathered Gray Wood Look Vanity Makeover
Yup. We’re almost there, y’all. The final oh-my-gosh-is-this-powder-room-ever-going-to-be-finished stage?! I say that lovingly. It’s hard to be patient when you have a bathroom vanity sitting smack in the middle of your living room. For an entire month. And you have to climb a flight of stairs every single time you need a potty break. If you’veRead more
White Waxed Coffee Bar Makeover
If thrifted furniture finds were stray puppies, I’d have about 40 dogs in my house right now. Which would be fun and all… except I bet the strays I find are way less messy and don’t chew my shoes as much. My latest thrift store stray though almost stole my heart as quickly as ourRead more
Powder Room Makeover: Faux Marble Tile Floor
There are times when going the DIY home improvement route just isn’t worth it. This project was one of those rare times for us. Remember back when I told you Robert and I would be ripping out our old travertine floor in our powder room? And then remember when we had a trip to Austin, a tripRead more
Antique Gold Frosted Crystal Light Fixture Makeover
I can never leave well enough alone. That’s the gist of this post. Remember the other day when I couldn’t leave our white plastic mirrors alone? And I prettyfied them with Rub ‘n Buff? I couldn’t help it with this one. I really couldn’t. Because now I must Rub ‘n Buff all the things! And thisRead more
Beginner’s Guide to Hanging Wallpaper
You know you have a good mama when she’s willing to hang wallpaper with you. That’s the lesson I’m taking away from this post. Well, that and the fact that home improvement projects aren’t nearly as terrifying as I build them up to be in my head. For years, I’ve heard, “If you want toRead more
How To Decorate Your House As A Couple
Today seems like a good day for a marriage counseling session. Right? Just kidding. (I’m pretty sure the “which way does the toilet paper roll go?” argument happens on the regular at our house.) I’ve gotten this one decorating-related question so many times before, “How can I convince my husband to let me _____?” And thatRead more
DIY Aged Gold Antique Mirror Makeover
Gold and I are having a love affair lately. It’s been one of those swept-me-off-my-feet-and-stole-my-heat-unexpectedly kind of loves. Oil rubbed bronze and I are still great friends though, I promise. Ever since we started on the powder room makeover, and I’ve had brass and gold on the brain in that space, it’s started to trickleRead more
The Best Tile for a Small Budget
In case you haven’t noticed over on Instagram Stories, we’ve had an interesting situation happening with our powder room floor lately. As in jackhammering said floor to rip up old tile and discovering our powder room used to be a back porch back in the ’60s. And then ripping out layers of concrete right downRead more
Beginner’s Guide to Painting Furniture
Seriously, why have I not written this post before? There have only been something like umpteen million furniture makeovers on this blog. (Only slightly an exaggeration.) I get a lot of questions from some of y’all about where to start, how to prep, how to distress and play around with some fun finishes. So itRead more
How To Fake A Long Curtain Rod
We’ve done a lot of faking the past several years. Faux fireplaces, faux wood beams, faux whitewashed brick, faux planked tabletops, faux shiplap, faux zinc and faux rusted finishes. If you call something “faux” instead of “fake”, it suddenly sounds way fancier, right? That’s my philosophy anyway. (Kind of like “Tar-jay” is way nicer than “Target”.) Our latestRead more
Powder Room Makeover – Vintage Green Bead Board
As promised, I’m back with the official kick-off of the POWDER ROOM MAKEOVER EXTRAVAGANZA! Which is an over-the-top way of saying I’m painting and wallpapering and DIYing my booty off. It’s not the least bit glamorous. Last week, I shared how I went all goo-goo eyed in Chicago and gathered up a whole heap ofRead more
How to Revive a Patio Table
I almost died doing this project. Completely true story. And by “died” I mean I’m the most stubborn chick on the planet and when I set my mind to doing something it WILL get done and I sometimes end up lifting a 100 pound table over my head like one of those mamas who can benchRead more
DIY Pressed Tin Kitchen Backsplash
In good Run-D.M.C. fashion, we got tricky on our kitchen backsplash recently. (Yep. That was an 80s pop reference.) And Robert and I maybe had that song cranking as we were finishing our latest project. When we first closed on the house back in the April, our kitchen looked like this. Pretty great already, right?! We’ve beenRead more
The Best Modern Farmhouse Wallpaper Designs on a Budget
Have you seen the 90s fashion all over the place lately? You know the choker necklaces and crushed velvet dresses and block heeled sandals? I mean… why did we ever throw out our pleated plaid skirts and knee high socks in the first place? We could have been cool again! And apparently, the home decor version ofRead more
Chicago Inspired Aqua Meets Urban Bathroom Design
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Delta Brand. The opinions and text are all mine. I geek out about a lot more things the older I get. Finding the best tongue-in-cheek Shakespeare quotes, blaring goose bump inducing symphonic movie soundtracks from my SUV speakers, welling up over moody contemporary dances. The older IRead more
DIY Window Seat From a Kitchen Cabinet
Slowly but surely, we are chipping away at the living room progress! The other day, Robert and I tackled a huge mess that had been driving us crazy since the day we moved in. The chaos corner… We’ve come a long, long way in here since it was bright sunshine yellow and beige. PaintingRead more
