Our Dining Area & Kitchen Makeover Reveal | One Room Challenge
It feels a little surreal to be posting the final reveal of our kitchen and dining area today. While we’ve been finishing this space for the past six weeks as part of the One Room Challenge we started our renovation in late February. I had actually started to get so used to the mess and

One Room Challenge Week Five – New Apron Sink, Island Progress & Minor Panic
There is only one week left in the One Room Challenge – I *might* be panicking (just a little). Even though there is still a lot to do we made some huge advances this week like installing our new apron sink, repurposed granite countertops and part of the island! First, the granite countertop that Chris

One Room Challenge Week Four – Pulling Things Together With New Lighting
I think, after living with something for so long, you kind of start to get used to it. We’ve had this giant pile of boxes piled up in our kitchen since week one and the tight, hazardous route between the kettle and the fridge was starting to become second nature. I was starting to get

One Room Challenge Week Three: Ice Storms, Floors and Baseboards
The baseboards featured in this week’s post were provided by one of my One Room Challenge sponsors, Metrie. All opinions are my own. I feel like every week during the One Room Challenge is a little crazy. I mean, we’re hustling to get so much done in a relatively short period of time. But this

One Room Challenge Week Two: New Flooring and More Unfinished Projects
Welcome to week two of the Spring One Room Challenge! I feel like this past week has been an exercise in starting a lot of things, but not finishing any of them. That’s not quite fair – we did finish three things: Chris finished the last few spots of drywall that needed a bit more

DIY Scrap Fabric Coasters with the Cricut Maker
The folks at Cricut were nice enough to send one of their new Maker machines along with a selection of accessories and materials to try out. All thoughts are my own. I was really excited to try out the Cricut Maker because of its ability to cut fabric and leather. I decided to set up

How to Select the Best Flooring for You
Selecting the right flooring almost seems impossible as everyone seems to disagree on what the best option is – is engineered better than solid? Does laminate really look like wood? Is vinyl really as awesome as people keep telling me? When we started planning our main floor renovation one of the biggest decisions we had
