Our master bedroom recently got a small (and much needed) face-lift and it was all driven by a project I did with our fabric headboard. When I told my husband my plan to make our grey, fabric headboard resemble a rich cognac leather headboard, I’m not sure he could envision the transformation. Honestly, I had some major doubts myself. But it totally worked. It was so easy and it cost...

Nugget: The Playroom Essential You Didn’t Know You Needed
Now that we’ve been in our “new” home for 2 years, I feel mostly settled. Although we still have many ideas for the future, we’ve gradually made this house feel like our home and have figured out how to maximize each space. Most rooms are obviously designated without much thought- kitchen, living room, bedroom, etc. However, the “flex” room off our entry area has been a challenge. I’m sure many of you have...
Turn Your Ektorp Chair into a Nursery Rocker
It’s so exciting when you find out you’re going to have a baby. So many thoughts and emotions, so many things to buy to prepare your home for your sweet bundle of joy! Baby showers and registries help take some of the burden off new parents, but many times you’ll still need to buy some big-ticket items on your own. The cost of preparing for a new baby adds up...
Entryway Makeover with DIY Mirrored Windows
This post is all about being flexible and going with the flow. (What started as a project for the bedroom, ended up as a project for the entryway.) I had a vision in mind for our master bedroom update, and I’ve had a hard time bringing that vision to life. Originally, I wanted mirrored windows to flank the bed above each bedside table. I wanted something that was a little distressed looking...
Madewell Transport Tote Diaper Bag and Essentials
Recently, I had a friend ask if I had any “mom hacks” now that my second daughter is here. I was a little caught off guard, I definitely don’t see myself as a parenting expert. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a good response for her, no amazing tricks or tips came to mind. I feel like I’m just figuring this whole parenting thing out as it comes, just like everyone else. ...
Must See Kitchen Island Lighting Update
Being at home on maternity leave has given me plenty of time to study my house and my décor while I sit around with a sleeping baby on my chest. Those middle of the night nursing sessions have also given me plenty of time to scroll through Pinterest and dream of things I want to do around the house. Combine those two with being a little stir crazy and you get a...

A Fresh Look for Tired Nightstands
So let me start out by saying maternity leave has been amazing. I’ve spent lots of days parked in the bed snuggling my little sweetie. And to think I was legitimately worried I couldn’t love another child as much as love my 4 year old…. Its unbelievable how your heart explodes all over again. And there is something about watching my older daughter light up over her baby sister that makes me...
Dresser Makeover in Nursery Nook with Valspar Chalky Finish Paint
I’ve finally finished my last project before baby arrives! I got a last-minute spurt of energy and decided to do a dresser makeover in our master bedroom nursery nook. When we moved into our new house last summer, my in-laws gave us a very sturdy bedroom set; it consisted of a large dresser, an armoire and two nightstands. The wood is beautiful, but we didn’t love the matchy-matchy look of a...
