Let's talk about refreshing wrought iron furniture. If you keep it outside, it will inevitably end up looking really dirty and gross even though it's probably still in really good shape. We refreshed two sets of my mom's wrought iron furniture: one set she has had for over 30 years and the other set came with the house when she bought it in 2020. Let me take you along for the process!

We had builder grade sconces that came with our house and I really didn't like them. I decided to go to Lowe's to look for upgrade options. I found that they have these sconces you can buy on their own without having to replace the entire light fixture. Let me show you what I did.

In 2016, I took on one of my very first DIY projects. I turned my grandfather's old work desk into something completely new. I had a family friend who is a woodworking pro help me carefully take the desk apart, strip it and then paint it. I ended up with two end tables and a kitchen table. The desk stayed that way until 2020 when we moved into the house we live in now. Since then, I have transformed it a few more times. Let me show you the transformations this one desk has gone through!

I recently turned our third floor into the nursery, but when we first moved into the house it was our guest room. We had a bed frame, but no headboard. I wanted to make the room look a little more put together without buying a whole new bed frame so I decided to make a channel headboard.

If you have been here a while, you'll know that we added a closet under the stairs in our house a few years ago. For some reason the builder didn't and it was a total waste of space. It has been my tool closet since we built it and has worked well. However, I don't need it as my tool closet anymore because I have workbenches now. It has unfortunately become a dumping ground. I haven't even able to go into because it's so full of random stuff! It's time to clean it out and make it a much more functional space in time for baby to get here.

A few posts back I talked about how I organized the entertainment center. I did a lot of decluttering in the process and I promised I would go over how I declutter toys in our neurodivergent home. These tips might not work for everyone, but they work really well for our family. Let's get started!

 Now that the entertainment system is all in, we have our new couch and I have gone through all of the other closets in the house, let's get this entertainment center organized!

If you have kids, you know it’s necessary to have a stool in your bathroom. However, most of the time adding a bulky stool can totally throw off the aesthetic of your space. Let me show how I customized stools to add to our bathrooms.
