One Room Challenge Week 8
Reveal Week! Wow, wow, wow! I can’t believe it’s the end of our very first (and hopefully not last) One Room Challenge! I’m so glad we decided to go for it because I personally need the accountability to stay on task. And the challenge allowed me to connect with so many other supportive folks also…

One Room Challenge: Week 7
Well, this week seems very anticlimactic after last week’s wallpaper reveal but that’s just the way these things go. If you saw my post last week then you know I admitted I chose the wrong paint color for the room. It was reading very purple and just didn’t have the “feel” I wanted it to.…

Dry Bar (part one) Makeover
February 21, 2022 Our current house is a bit larger than our previous house and has several features we didn’t have before. One of these features is a Dry Bar, or Butler’s Pantry. Really? A butler’s pantry?? First, it’s in the dining room; second, we are not “butler” people and we certainly don’t live in…

For a while now, I’ve wanted to give our fireplace a makeover but just haven’t quite figured out a plan for it.

Vintage Dresser Makeover
I can overthink a project to death. But not the kind of overthinking that’s useful. I get caught up on how it’s going to look and obsess about it, without making any actual progress.
