How to Remove a Glass Shower Door & Update Your Bathroom
If you have a glass shower door on your tub and you don't want it there anymore for aesthetic reasons or because it might not be safe, you are not alone. My mom had two of these in her house when she moved in and she asked me to remove both of them. When I removed one I discovered that it was barely secured to the wall! It came off super easily, which is terrifying, but in doing so I realized that I could take one of these off in about a day and it's not a big deal. Let me show you how I did it.
When You Have to Redo a DIY Project
The first big project I ever did was putting shelves in a weird nook area in the loft of my parents house. I did this even before my most viral house bed that I built for my daughter a month later. When I did these shelves I was still learning a lot through trial and error in my DIY projects so I knew that I wanted to go back, use all of my new knowledge and do these shelves the right way.
How to Use a Jigsaw
I'm back again with another simple tool overview. Today we're talking about how to use a jigsaw. Let's get started!
Workbench Fix
Last year I built two workbenches using drawers from an old office and cabinets that my grandmother had gifted to me before she passed away. Unfortunately, with all of the drawers and space in the back filled, the wheels started coming off of the big workbench. Every time I did a quick fix they would inevitably break off again. So, I had to come up with a new solution I figured this was a good time to revamp my workbenches to better fit my needs. Let me show you what I did!
Redoing My Mom’s Coat Closet
My mom asked me to redo a closet they have in their front hallway. When they moved in, all it had was a wire rack in the back and the hooks on the side. So I took everything out and got to work.
Fall Florals on Different Budgets
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!
Fall Tile Mat Designs
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.
My Favorite Paint Sprayers
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!
Side Yard Plans
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!
Storage Closet Shelves
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.
How To Use a Brad Nailer
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.
Why We Added a Door at The Bottom of Our Stairs
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.
