Embrace The Mess – From A Cleanoholic

7 Comments

I want to thank Bona for partnering with me to embrace the mess. All opinions are my own.  A couple of months ago, I shared a post about easy tips to deep clean your home this winter. Now that we are heading into spring, I am wanting to clean and organize even more. We have had the worst winter, so now that the temps are warming up and the sunshine is out, I am motivated more than ever to clean and get things in order this spring. There is something I have mentioned on Facebook and Instagram before, but I… Read More

Metal Tray DIY With Chalk Couture

Leave a Comment

I have an obsession with trays of all kinds. If you have been around here for any time, you know that about me. They are very functional, but I think the real reason I love them so much is because they are fun to decorate. I have had this metal tray for a few years. It is great as it is, but I thought it would be fun to share an easy way to change your own metal trays with Chalk Couture. The best part about this project is that it isn’t permanent. You can wipe the design off when… Read More

Paint For Wood Floors In The Flip House

7 Comments

I am so happy with this paint for wood floors and I can’t wait to share this project with you!  We are plugging away at our fourth flip house (see all the before photos and video tour of the house HERE) and finishing projects left and right. If you are following along with me on Facebook HERE and Instagram HERE, you are seeing the entire flip project enfold as we do it. We started working on the mail level and taking carpet and everything that was left in the house out. There was a lot of cleaning that had to… Read More

This is an easy 3 drawer dresser makeover with paint, new hardware and some cleaning. It was an easy makeover, but made this piece brand new.

3 Drawer Dresser Makeover With Paint & Hardware

6 Comments

I want to thank Zibra Paint for partnering with me on this 3 drawer dresser makeover. All opinions of their amazing paint brushes are my own.  I bought this 3 drawer dresser at an estate sale. It was missing the door to the cabinet side, but that didn’t matter. These are the kinds of things I look past because you can work around them or Matt has built many doors for pieces like this so I wasn’t worried about it. The shape, size and storage this piece had out-weighed the missing door.  The top of the dresser wasn’t in the… Read More

Kitchen canisters come in all shapes and sizes and this easy DIY kitchen canisters project made some old canisters look totally new and fresh for an updated kitchen.

Kitchen Canisters DIY Makeover

Leave a Comment

This set of kitchen canisters was left in the flip house we just bought. (See the video tour of our flip house HERE). The people we bought the house from had two estate sales in the house before we bought it and the kitchen canisters never sold. When we were cleaning out the house, I saw them and walked by them not thinking twice. Then, when I started picking up the kitchen, I looked at them again and noticed the detail they had. The canisters were so dirty and the wood was not pretty so the detail didn’t stand out… Read More

Flower Box Ideas & Sources

Leave a Comment

Spring is just around the corner and I was online the other day looking for ways to add a flower box to an area on our house. I had no idea that a flower box could come in so many options! I thought that maybe I wasn’t the only one searching for a flower box idea, so I thought I would put together a post full of great flower box options. I love posts like this because they compile lots of options in one place. It is a one-stop-shop for what I am looking for.  When I started looking for… Read More
