If you've been around for the cleaning the tile mat saga, you know that my white tile mat has gotten damaged by the sun and it just doesn't look the same. So when Letterfolk did a special 50% off discount on the black tile mat when they were on The View. I grabbed one to replace my white one. So today I have a few Valentine’s Day tile mat ideas that I want to share with you that you can add to your Valentine’s Day decor.

How to Make Valentine’s Day Play Cookies

I used to not be one to decorate for Valentines Day. However, having a kid that loves all things pink and glittery has really changed things for me!

I have a quick and easy Valentine's Day craft to do with your little one to add some Valentines Day fun to any playroom.

Creating a Cozy Landing Space

When I first started redoing our primary bedroom, we moved my husband's desk over to the corner of the room. That took away the space that we were using previously for our full length mirror. I knew I needed to find a new space for it because it was just awkwardly sitting behind the bedroom door and that just wasn’t going to work. Hanging it on the back of the door wasn't an option either because there was too much light coming in from behind it. So, I spent some time wandering around our house and I decided that the landing at the top of our first set of stairs was going to be the best option since there was a good amount of space to work with. I liked that there was nothing on the wall, the lighting was good and there was plenty of space for me to make this a cozy little nook, so that's what I decided to do. So I got to work.

Creating a More Functional Coat Closet

 If you’ve been here a while you will know that I LOVE reimagining underutilized spaces, especially closets. Our builder grade coat closet is a prime example of underutilized space and just wasn’t cutting it for our needs. I knew I wanted to get my hands on it, so I decided to remove everything from it and get to work.

Adding Storage and Color to a Bathroom

The bathroom in our loft is a very large space with not a lot of storage, like most of our house. It’s also really basic and builder grade. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it doesn’t reflect my current design style. So I got to work coming up with a plan to revamp it into something functional that I love.

Autism Fidget Toys & Bags

Shortly after Jackie was diagnosed as autistic when we were going to a lot of different therapies, I started carrying around these little fidget bags wherever we went. I realized that they were a great tool to keep her entertained and I now have them in almost every bag we own! I have one in my purse, diaper bag, our church bag, her backpack and we even have one in her bed box. They have become such a staple for us that I decided I would show you what I put in each of ours!

Easy DIY Drawer Organizers

My mom asked me to put some drawer organizers in the drawers in her kitchen. She was getting frustrated with the clutter in two of her drawers specifically so I had her tape out the layout that she wanted and I used some scrap wood that we had and made it happen. After I finished with hers I liked it so much that I did the same thing to a few drawers in my house. The whole process was pretty simple, let me show you what I did.

The Home Binder + Download

In 2021, I shared my home binder on TikTok and it went viral. When we moved into our home, I decided I wanted a way to keep track of all the information about our house including the information that we got from the builder when we bought the house, the warranty details, appliance information, etc. I did this for my own reference, but also so any future owners of the house would have the information too. I loved how it turned out so I ended up creating a digital download so that anyone could make a home binder. This binder has worksheets with all of the information that you can input about your home, along with detailed instructions on how to find the information, because I know a lot of people don't have that. I wanted to make this process as simple and easy as possible for anybody who wanted to create their own home binder.
