It’s that time of year again! My favorite: Yard Sale Season! You never know what you’ll find when you pull up to a yard sale, but I wanted to share with you what I always seem to grab when I see them sitting there. There are certain things that that I know I can and […]

From Boring Bi-folds to Plank French Doors: The Closet Makeover
April 18, 2016 by 14 Comments
I almost titled this The Big, Scary, Questionable-Until-the-Very-End Closet Makeover…because that’s exactly what this was. I had this wacky idea, ran it by my husband…got the raised eyebrows. Looked it up online…found nothing. Plank closet doors… Shiplap closet doors… Securing plywood to closet doors… Closet Doors look like Plank Wall… Make closet doors look like […]
Making a Free Nightstand: The Suitcase Table
April 8, 2016 by 3 Comments
Sharing another glimpse into the ‘so-close-yet-so-far-away’ master bedroom today. We were going full steam, then life seemed to get in the way. Only two more things to do, but they’re kinda big projects. I’m hoping I’ll be writing my big reveal post sometime in the next couple weeks, but we shall see… In the meantime, […]
A New Stain for The Coffee Table
March 31, 2016 by 2 Comments
When we got our coffee table a while back, I liked it a lot, but the finish on the top never floated my boat too much. It wasn’t terrible (obviously, I’ve lived with it for a few years now! ;), but it was always one of those projects I had in the back of my […]
$15 DIY Rustic Ladder
March 17, 2016 by 31 Comments
Recently I was at a client’s house, and she asked what she could put on the side of her fireplace. There’s an empty spot that could use something tall(ish), and she already had a floor plant in a nearby corner. I suggested a ladder to hang throw blankets on – they’re so cozy, super cute, […]
When You Just Can’t Take Pink Tile Anymore: Painting my Bathroom Floor
March 15, 2016 by 11 Comments
We’re just gonna go ahead and stick this one in the “WHY THE HECK DIDN’T I DO THIS SOONER???” column. I mean, seriously people. I’ve been living with this for a DECADE now, and haven’t done anything about it. And it wasn’t hard, expensive, or time consuming?! I know, I’m scratching my head, too. As […]
Finding a “New” Nightstand in An Unexpected Spot
March 10, 2016 by 4 Comments
The master bedroom makeover is so close I can almost taste it, friends. Only things left really are the closet doors (it’s a doozy of a project), and finishing the baseboards. CANNOT. WAIT. I know you’re excited too, from the comments and messages you send me – and I LOVE you for it:) My readers […]
Making A Cable Box Pretty
March 6, 2016 by 27 Comments
Ah, another bedroom post. I apologize. One of these days it’ll be done and life can resume normalcy;) In the meantime, let’s chat about the ugly eyesore that was sitting on my dresser, shall we? I mean, the room is looking soooo purdy, I just HAD to figure out some way to make this thing go away. […]
Sign Fakeout: Making an Expensive Sign on the Cheap!
March 2, 2016 by 37 Comments
So I had this wacky idea recently. You know those gorgeous signs that are EVERYWHERE these days? They’re thin white painted wood (I’m guessing?!) bordered with a thin piece of stained wood? Kinda like my Be Our Guest sign that’s in my basement: Well, I’ve seen them in stores. I’ve seen them online. They are […]
Hi there! I’m Liz, a former teacher-turned-stay-at-home mom to three kids, with a passion to create a warm and inviting home on a budget. This blog all started when I’d put the babies down for a nap, and squeeze in a project during those precious couple of hours! My hope is that you visit this page and feel inspired to do a little “naptime decorating” of your own. Thank you so much for stopping by!
