Summer Tile Mat Ideas

The seasons are changing, it's getting warmer, and the cicadas are coming out here in Tennessee which means it's time for new tile mat designs. I have this tile mat from Letterfolk that I love to create designs for and share them with all of you. I typically like to share a lot of really elaborate designs when I share different seasonal and holiday designs. This summer, though, I'm going a little bit more simple with the designs.

DIY Entry Bench

I found this beautiful piece of cedar at a local lumberyard. I didn't need to use the whole thing, so I cut it down and decided that I was going to make an entryway bench for my mom to put in the small area she has when you come in from her garage. Since this space is so tight, I'm keeping this bench pretty narrow. This bench will serve dual purpose and be used as a bench for her table when we have big family gatherings.

DIY Laundry Room Table

I found an amazingly gorgeous piece of wormy maple wood at a local lumber yard. I got it for my mom because she needs a new table over her washer and dryer. The last one ended up being, unfortunately, destroyed when we had to swap out her washer and dryer due to some poor decision making not on my part. So, I'm going to take you along with me while I turn this into a laundry room table.

Side Yard Shed

We have a very awkward, narrow, and long side yard. I've talked before about my plans for it and how I want to change up the mulch and the mud and just add more space for us to be able to hang out here. Another thing that I wanted to do was to add a shed. I wanted a place to put our bikes and get stuff off of the patio that we have at the moment and be able to utilize that space.

Home Binder Series

It's been a little while, so let's update my home binder. If you are new here, this is a binder I created that keeps all of the important documents for my house in one place. So, if I were to move out of this house and leave all of the appliances, built-ins, etc, I could just hand this binder to the new buyer and they would have everything they need in one spot.

DIY Mug Hanger

I originally got a large piece of wood from the lumberyard to use for the headboard on my bed. However, I ended up going with a different piece of wood for the headboard. My mom asked me if I could take the unused piece of wood and make a custom mug holder for her. Let me show you how I did it!

Mini Tile Mat for Jackie’s Bed

 If you've been around for a little while, you may remember my white tile mat that started to fade and change colors due to its sun exposure. So far, I've been keeping it at our back door as kind of a catch all for our shoes. Well, today I'm going to do something a little scary. I'm going to cut it in half and do something new with it!

How We Set Up Art Stations In Our House

My daughter loves to make art, but it became a problem when she started making it all over the house. I decided to make two different art stations in her dedicated spaces so she could create art and then hang it up in those spaces without it being all over the house.
