Projects
Kitchen Design: Range Hoods
Kitchen design tip: achieve a more custom, higher end look by removing the microwave from above the stove/cooktop and replacing it with a vent hood. While mine is custom made, you don’t have to spend a lot or be a great DIYer to get the look. I’ve linked a variety of great options below if …
Master Bathroom Organization
Organizing the master bathroom has been on my “to do” list for a few months, so when At Home asked me to share an organizational project, I knew it was time to get on it! My daughter and I love to have “spa nights” from the comfort of home and I think this newly organized …
Clothes Pin Wreath
After coming up with the idea to make a clothes pin wreath for my laundry room, and then realizing it probably wasn’t an original idea, I set about to look at troll a few blogs after doing a google search. And sure enough, its been done. By several people. By considering how others had done it, I …

How I Got my Family to Remember Their Vitamins
Though I’ve made it a goal to fulfilling most of our nutritional needs via the food we eat, I feel better knowing that anything we are lacking in our diets can be supplemented by vitamins. But we just weren’t remembering to take our vitamins. Even when I bought all of us gummy vitamins, making taking …
Schoolroom DIY Wood Sign
This sign was my first attempt at hand lettering on wood. I bought a piece of wood from Home Depot that was ready cut down to 2×4 ft. I mixed up three of my favorite Minwax stains: Jacobean, Early American, and Weathered Oak. A quick two coats with a cheapo brush later (plus a few …
