This weekend I decided to tackle my linen closet / medicine cabinet / utility closet / cleaning supply closet. Basically the hallway storage where everything goes and you never have to look at it again. When we moved into this house a year and a half ago, we kind of just shoved all of the random things in here and never got around to organizing it, or even going through all of the things stashed inside boxes still. This was a big project for me and I will admit, I have been p

Happy Valentines Day friends! I finally finished our laundry area refresh! It only took me 2.5 weeks but that's just real life right there. There is no magic super powers for getting things done in a day when you work full time and have a toddler and baby at home, so, like everything else, it takes time. Our laundry "room" is in our garage and it was just not a functional or visually appealing space. We had one tiny shelf to house all of our laundry items and then there is al

Yesterday I woke up sour, straight up just a sour patch and for no reason at all. Do you ever wake up like that? If you follow me on Instagram then you saw that I was just struggling yesterday and with a quick realization of how my morning was going, I knew I had to fix it. So, I loaded up in the car and went for a drive, just to break the cycle of being negative and to clear my head. I basically put myself on a timeout, a MOM TIMEOUT. Sometimes I need to check myself and kno

Northern California has been getting hit pretty hard this week with rain and wind which we need, no complaints here! Gross weather just makes for cozy days inside and easy crafts to whip up while playing with my tiny humans. Yesterday I took a few hours to myself and for myself I mean I went to the dentist then hit up Hobby Lobby for some drawer knobs for a vanity I am making over (post soon to come). Of course since I am lost in the dark abyss of HL, I wandered into the fabr

Do you ever just see something for sale and know that you have to have it? I am always scouring the internet for things I don't need but have to have, like this old cedar chest I scored online for only a few bucks! I actually bought this guy awhile ago but never got around to showing you all the results. With a little bit of help from my husband, we sanded this beast (by we I mean he did) and prepped him for some chalk paint. I used Rust-Oleum Linen White for this project. I

This is a super quick and easy Easter garland that is not in any way a pastel color. I wanted something neutral so the fresh spring flowers and greens could really shine in our house. I've never actually been a fan of these holidays like Valentines and Easter, I am just not interested in the decor or the colors that's associated with them but now that I have a daughter I am trying to make the holidays a little more special. For this project all you need is: - book pages - car

I still have a hundred boxes to unpack from moving a month ago but I needed a break and to do something different than look at boxes. I have been trying to figure out where to put everything while half of our house is still under construction and it has been driving me nuts but the chaos is almost over. I decided to "borrow" this little wooden chair from my moms house, she didn't need it anyways so I might as well use it haha. I took before picture but preemptively erased the

My brother bought some old army fabric a few years ago and recently gave it to me to make some pillows. I thought this was a great way to up-cycle some cool fabric and to be able to showcase it for people, especially since somewhere the is a story behind this fabric. Pillows are pretty simply to put together. All you need is enough fabric for 2 squares measuring the same size. These pillows were 18"x18" 1st: Cut the fabric into desired size. Next I cut a strip of these old bu
