DIY Flower Boxes With Chalk Couture

These DIY flower boxes were so easy to make with Chalk Couture transfers and Chalkology Paste!  I picked up these wood boxes at a thrift store for 75% off after Christmas. I didn’t like the “JOY” sign on them, but loved the reclaimed wood of the boxes and knew I could turn them into something amazing. The reclaimed wood is beautiful and they needed to be turned into something great. And, since I got them after Christmas, I was over the Christmas decor and ready to move onto some spring decor and projects.  {Affiliate links are used in this post…. Read More

I want to thank Zibra Painting for partnering with me on this vintage dresser makeover. All opinions of my favorite paint brushes are my own.  If you are subscribed to my YouTube video, you saw my thrift store shopping trip and what I brought home with me a couple of weeks ago.

The dresser was $35 just like the DIY Vintage Buffet Makeover I did in December. … Read More

Is A Rental Property Investment For You? I have shared the entire process of every flip house we have done. Matt and I love the flipping process and wish we could do it more often. We aren’t complaining. We both work full-time and have two kids that keep us very busy, so the rate we are flipping houses right now is probably where we need to be. Flip houses aren’t easy to find, but we have found there are ways to finding the right flip house. One of our “flip houses” was actually a duplex we bought a couple of… Read More

DIY Closet Door With Sliding Door Hardware

2 Comments

This DIY closet door came about when Matt and I started our bedroom makeover.  We have small bedrooms in our house and they all had bifold doors on them when we bought the house. Bifold doors take up so much space in the bedrooms because they swing out into the room when they are opened. I wanted a solution that would give us more space when the closet door is open and still have a door on the closet. A couple of years ago, we used DIY Sliding Closet Door Hardware to come up with a closet door option for… Read More

How To Decorate When You Aren’t Inspired. The title of this post sounds too formal for me. This post is all about how to decorate when you just aren’t feeling it. These are things that I have learned through years and years of not being in the decorating mood, but coming away with a decorated home I love.      Decorating can be fun and so therapeutic.
