I don’t think I ever shared how this project turne I don’t think I ever shared how this project turned out last year! Adding shiplap to the ceiling was the perfect move. It cozied up the space and is so much prettier to look at than the crow’s feet texture that’s all over our home (thank you ‘90s🤪). I still have to add a runner to the stairs (spoiler alert: I finally found one I love!) and this little space will be complete.
Did you see how much the color changed as I stirre Did you see how much the color changed as I stirred it? 🤯 

The pigments in stain settle so it’s super important to stir (not shake!) before you start! It helps make sure you get the true color and save you from a lot of panic. 

Have you ever had a stain look completely different than you expected?

I did not think a simple DIY would change our wind I did not think a simple DIY would change our windows this much…

I had hoped that cedar shutters would bring a little warmth to our patio but I was blown away by just how much charm and character they added to the space. 

They’re cedar, fully custom, and way easier than I expected to make!

Would you ever build your own shutters—or would you just buy them? 

Save this if you want to try a budget-friendly exterior upgrade!

Small bathrooms can be beautiful too! This bathroo Small bathrooms can be beautiful too! This bathroom was a (three year) labor of love and I don’t think I’ve given it enough IG attention for how much work it was🤣 So when @friedrichsenhomes shared #onephotowednesday I knew this would be the space to share first! You know, like in the old Instagram days where we just posted one picture and wrote a little caption😅
In case anyone ever wonders where I get my no chil In case anyone ever wonders where I get my no chill from😂 to be fair, he did ask for a project on his last visit!

Now I need to know what partial shade plants I should add!
My outdoor space was anything but ready when warme My outdoor space was anything but ready when warmer weather finally showed up. Thanks to @SKILPowerTools for sending over the trifecta of outdoor work including their Leaf Blower, String Trimmer and Self-Propelled Mower with Smart Caddy, to help me get everything back in shape!

I don’t know about you, but we’ve had gas outdoor tools, and it felt like half the work was just getting them to start! These tools are all battery powered, and I love how simple it all is. No gas, no cords, just push the button and get to work.

The real standout for me was the Self-Propelled Mower with Smart Caddy. It’s got so many incredible features including super easy height adjustment, a self-propelled feature that comes in handy on our uneven lawn, and the built-in Smart Caddy is genius. Instead of picking up the yard before mowing, grab it as you go!

SKIL made the hard work feel so much easier, and now I’m ready to enjoy the summer!
