Hopefully you took a look at my den remodel last week and I've already had a bunch of questions about where I got this and that. I made and DIYed a lot of the stuff in this room, but you can't DIY everything ;). So, here is all the info on everything else ;). Main Area Nothing pulls a room together like art work. Minted not only has an amazing large selection of unique prints and artwork, they also give you all the details on the artist. Getting a little backstory makes me feel like ... continue reading...

We have completed our kids rec room makeover and what was once drab and disgusting is now fun, bright and functional! It's done!! Woot woot!

Kids Den Update – ORC Week 5
We are redoing our kids den for the One Room Challenge, and it is going to be a fun and functional space! It's week 5 of the ORC and although I'm feeling much better than Week 4, I still have quite the busy week ahead. I have been plucking away at the kids den and now I'm at that stage of fixing baseboards and changing out outlets. Nothing exciting, but it's those little things that make a room renovation really come together. In case you missed it, I'm participating in the One Room ... continue reading...
Dog Door in the Wall Installation
Installing a dog door in the wall may seem intimidating at first, but it turned out to be way easier than I thought! Oh my, the One Room Challenge! It gets me every time - I think I'm doing sooo great. Ahead of schedule and progressing at just the right pace. Then BAM! Week 4 hits and all of a sudden everything starts to fall apart...literally. I'm still working away at that little nook a shared on Instagram what seemed like forever ago. HOPEFULLY next week I'll be sharing it. Cause that ... continue reading...
Polished Concrete – How I Got My Slab Ready for Paint
I'm breaking down how I got a polished concrete slab prepped for paint - and the mistakes I made painting the floors. Ugh, carpet. So gross. Escepically the carpet in our den. The previous owners had dogs. We have dogs. Our dogs are house trained, however...they didn't like the last dogs stains....and you get the picture. The carpet had to go. I loved the look of polished concrete floors, and I probably should have stopped this DIY after I polished them because I'm not loving the paint. ... continue reading...
Craft Station (and gift wrap) for the kiddos!
Adding this craft station has been so great, the kids love it and now all their craft and gift wrapping stuff has a home! I'm so excited about this craft station! The kiddos have deemed this the best redo so far. So course, they are a little bias but I am also happy about this space. It is so functional. Before, all the items are all over the place. Markers and papers in random closets and the iPads and phones where plugged into the wall and literally sat on the floor. Forget the gift ... continue reading...

For the One Room Challenge this go around, I've decided to finish the kids rec room and I'm so excited about all the DIY projects in this space! This is the room our kids hang out in with each other, with their friends, etc. I want this space to be modern, fun and functional. To be honest, we have already started on this room.

The Writing’s on the Wall – Literally
The writing's on the wall and I'll tell you how to do it...even on textured walls! Hello! As you may or may not know, we are in the middle of renovating our den. We are also in the middle of the kitchen renovation, but we had to take a break from that because...whoa, kitchens are expensive. Anywho, the den had to be done on the cheap and the cheapest way to get wall art is to make it yourself. I was tired of the kids taping notes to their doors, but I still wanted it to be a fun space with a ... continue reading...
