Weeks 3 and 4 of the One Room Challenge: Floating Shelves and Mini Fridges

We had some issues out of our control for week 2 of the One Room Challenge. Our countertop situation is not great. We ordered slabs to swap out our dark grey slabs with some brighter slabs. Those were supposed to be installed a couple of weeks ago. They unfortunately made some bad cuts and had to replace a few pieces, and we’ve been patiently waiting to get those installed so we can do backsplash and other things. So the pandemic...

Adding a Solar Tube To our Kids Bathroom

Moving into a 2000s oak-themed builder’s box house was such a dream for us, and we were thrilled a few years ago to have the opportunity to modernize this house. After having a contractor work with us and our experience of so many delays and problems, we decided Ryan could do this! Himself! With a little plumbing help we set to update this room (Tip: Great idea to get a plumber to do tub faucet replacements – we almost always...

Week 2 of the One Room Challenge

We’re coming in a little late this week but life happened last week! We spent a week traveling to help my mom in Oklahoma, but we managed to squeeze in some progress before we left town. Even on mother’s day! In addition to some other spoils, Ryan gave me a great mother’s day present and painted the kitchen walls so I didn’t have to. Score! We had some issues out of our control for week 2 (and I fear week...

DIY Vintage Modern Art for $3

I have been loving the new vintage Victorian transformative art portraits that are showing up across Instagram and other places. I have fantasized about being an artist, and dabbled with acrylics for a while. Unfortunately there is not an ounce of Picasso in these veins. So I turn to digital print for much of my art these COVID days. The transformative Victorian-era modified oil prints are so unique and interesting to me. Here is one example of of the modern...
