You Vote – We Create: Sitting Area Reveal

We Built A Barn Door!
In looking for ways to beautify the master closet, I immediately thought that installing a sliding door could actually work in this area.

Kitchen Update: LG Dishwasher
When we bought our house, we really fell in love with the kitchen. It’s a very custom-built kitchen and so it had good bones. Pretty much everything needed attention though, including replacing appliances, countertops, floors, etc. But with patience, we knew the kitchen could be made new again. As you know, kitchen remodels can be […]

Before and After: Vintage Tea Cart
A quick before and after for you, because we all love them. I found this wooden tea cart on Craigslist within 5-10 minutes after it was listed. I was big and pregnant but loaded up the family and I was able to scour this baby for $20. It sat on my porch for months before […]

Back Foyer Updates: Painted Dresser

Chicken Wire Frame
In my efforts to be resourceful, I try to look for creative ways to use what I have to make something useful. Over a year ago, I bought a big antique frame and it sat in my shed for several months. At first, I honestly had no idea what I was going to do with […]
