It's no secret that I love myself a good DIY project. I think the fun of it is working with your hands and seeing something that you created come to life. I have done quite a few in the past couple of years, some of which you can see on the blog, but I thought it would be fun to share some of my must-have items if you are a DIY-lover like me! SanderThis is my go-to tool for all things DIY. This baby has saved me tons (and I mean tons) of time. I can remember using a hand sander on a few of my ...

Master Bathroom Vanity Mirrors
Yep, you are seeing this correctly. I used black paint this weekend! We all know I am a believer that white paint can fix most anything but I moved away from my comfort zone and realized that black paint does wonders, too 😍 Finding mirrors for this bathroom has been quite the pickle. Originally, I thought maybe I would be able to find a big ole antique mirror or two matching ones that I could use here. I looked high and low and months later I was still stumped. Temporarily we were using a teeny ...
Making the Most of Your Spaces
I have had quite a few requests for ideas on decorating creatively. This one is for the girl with the studio apartment or the quaint starter home.

Fall Porch with Antique Accents and Muted Colors
I tried really hard to use lots of color in my Fall front porch this year. I had every intention of using all of the deep and pretty hues that bring all of the Fall feels. This porch refresh started with red mums and dark colors and it just wasn't "me" no matter how hard I tried. I changed a few things and decided to go with a palette that I felt better represents my style. Here's a look at how our Fall porch with antique accents turned out! From the get-go, I wanted to use lots of kale and ...
