Girls Butterfly Bedroom Refresh

It has been so fun to update my daughter’s room. She turned 5 this year, and while we’d slowly converted her room from a nursery to a bigger girl room over the past years, it was time to make it fancy and match her big girl personality. Her nursery was really adorable – with grey/purple walls, white and grey elephant decor. I hand-made several things, including her curtains (at 7 months pregnant), her elephant mobile (6 cute hand-made elephants on...

Bedroom Refresh with Sconce Lights

This past weekend we spent some time brightening our bedroom (see aforementioned missiontobrightenhome posts). We’ve lived in our house for a few years now, and it was time for another paint refresh (among other things). When we moved in, our bedroom was original builder beige. Beige walls, ceilings and carpet, all the same color throughout. We’ve been updating, upgrading, painting and repainting over the years. Here’s what it looks like after our weekend warrior projecting: This is a flavor of...

DIY White Velvet Headboard

I really tried to like the velvet headboard we got for E’s room last year. She went without a headboard for so long, and I found a great deal on a pink velvet headboard online (here’s the one we found for under $100 at the time we purchased). We repainted her room, lightened all the things around it, new white bedding, but no, I still could not grow to love this little pink headboard. And another closer: So this weekend...

To runner or not… Durable runners for kitchens

The kitchen can be a messy place. Even for those of us low mess cooks, accidents happen, kids drop things, husbands drip marinara sauce. So does it make sense to put a runner in your kitchen? Indeed it does! We have about 9 feet of runway between our cooktop and sink. While I considered a cushy rug for just in front of the sink, I wanted something to run through the space. There are several options to withstand high traffic...

New Year, Newly Organized

Over my holiday vacation, we’ve tackled several projects – our daughter’s room refresh, building new furniture and frames, new entry door refresh, and repainting our bedroom. During this time, I also did some much needed organization to my random has-everything-but-no-clear-spot cabinet. This cabinet contains overflow art projects, kid crafts, first aid materials we need for quick fixes, bathroom hand towel overflow, packaging materials and other things. A total everything cabinet. I needed to bring order to this space, so I...

Round Wall Mirrors

After Ryan built the new Restoration Hardware hack entry table, I began looking for a 28-32 inch round mirror to place above the table. We previously had a portrait of my son as a baby that was too cute for words. But it was time to dress that wall up more with the wood table. And it’s nice to have a mirror to check ourselves before answering the door. I found a great deal at Target, where really great designers...

Fall Paint Refresh Color Palette

After much deliberating, I have narrowed down our fall paint refresh colors. We plan to tackle the rooms weekend by weekend, finishing the kitchen refresh in the spring. We’ve done our family room, and next up is our formal living room, upstairs hallway and stairs. Our stairwell rebuild project is on hold for a bit while we determine the order of newels vs. new carpet solutions for the stairs, but I am so ready to brighten up the main living...

How to Design a Star Wars Boy’s Room

Star Wars are a big thing in our household. Ryan and our son love to build Star Wars LEGO sets, and often find instructions for new sets to make out of our existing LEGO pieces. For major milestone rewards, Star Wars LEGOs have been our prize. So naturally when it came to updating our son’s bedroom last year, Star Wars was the front-runner theme. I started looking for inspiration ideas on Pinterest, but didn’t find a lot at the time....
