I recently shared how my mom does my floral arrangements. I'm good at a lot of things, but floral arrangements are something that I struggle with. She really is a master and does an amazing job. While I try my best to find florals and extras that are inexpensive, the arrangements that she does are, admittedly, not cheap. She adds things that she already has purchased in the past, like Polish Pottery pieces, that add to the expense of these arrangements. I decided to compare and contrast these with a more frugal version with materials from the Dollar Tree and see how the Dollar Tree arrangements stack up. Let's get started!

It's a change of season, so it's time for some new tile mat ideas! I have some traditional fall designs, some fun fall designs and even a bonus back to school design.

Paint sprayers can be really helpful if you're doing a lot of DIY projects or for projects that have a lot of painting that needs to be done. They require a good amount of prep work, and a lot of PPE to make sure that you are not inhaling paint, but trust me, it is so worth. It almost cuts your painting time in half! I rounded up a few of my favorites at different price points so you can find one that meets your DIY needs. Let’s get into it!

We don't have much of a yard, but we do have a little side yard between our house and our next door neighbor's house, but currently it is full of mulch and our daughter hates mulch. So after a lot of back and forth with our HOA, I finally got approval to do create a new updated space. Let's talk about it!

When we first moved into our house there was very little storage, but we did have a really big 15 x 3 ft. closet off of our deck. However because it was so long it was really difficult to store anything. It only had one long wire shelf stretching to the end so Items got piled on top of each other, space was underutilized and it ended up being an unorganized mess. I knew that there had to be a better way to utilize the space without having to take everything out every time I needed something. So I made a plan and got to work.

A brad nailer is one of the most useful tools I have in my DIY arsenal. It is a type of nail gun that shoots tiny nails easily into a surface. It's great for more delicate projects like decorative panels, trim, etc. It can be really daunting using a new tool, so let me show you how to use one so you can be more confident for your next DIY project.

When we bought our house, it was listed as a three bedroom, four bathroom home. Well, the third bedroom it turned out was actually just the upstairs loft area. However, when you came up the stairs there was no door. We asked the builders if they could add a door, but they were adamantly against it because that was "not how they designed the house". I'm not sure how you can consider a space a bedroom if there is no door, but that's just me. So after living here for a year, we decided to add a door to the bottom of the stairs ourselves.

ne of the most commonly asked question that I get is: how do you afford to do all of these DIYs? DIY can be expensive, but it's usually less expensive than hiring it out to someone else. So let me tell you some of my tips for doing DIY on a budget.

When Jackie was a baby I made cute personalized Minnie Mouse decor letters for Jackie's room. However, I felt like she grew out of them. So I decided to change them up for my princess loving girl. I got MDF letters and tulle from Walmart and got to work!

Something I've wanted to do since we've moved into this house I've been frustrated with the lower cabinets in our kitchen. There is a lot of space, but it is so hard to get to anything. I knew that I wanted to install cabinet pullout drawers for two of the lower cabinets so that we can better utilize this space. Let's get started!

I love any tools that make my life easier, and using a pocket hole jig is one of those tools. I've had my Kreg pocket hole jig for about seven years now, and it has been well loved and well used. However, it's missing a bit and I am doing much bigger projects now so it was time for a new toolI. I'm so excited about it, so I'm going to assemble it and show you how it works. Let's get started!
