I’m not sure if you guys are sick of this view yet, but I’m not. I can just sit around staring at it all day 😍 Today I changed out the rug and finally put down this one from the rug cleaning saga a few weeks ago. (Basically I don’t recommend cleaning your rugs in your driveway - that process went bad on me 😂) Despite that mishap, this room is coming together so well. I’ve also got my @oneroomchallenge Week 2 post up on the blog to show you all the angled and let you know what’s next on the list! We’re making progress slowly but surely, the way I always seem to do it!

Dun dun dunnnnnnnn! I know installing two shelves

Dun dun dunnnnnnnn! I know installing two shelves isn’t that big of deal, but I’m so excited about how these turned out! I partnered with Birch Lane for a living room refresh and it resulted in making a huge change to this room that I wasn’t originally planning on doing at all. I’m so glad I put the time, effort and money into it though because now I enjoy spending time in this room so much more than I did when it was full of faded gold wallpaper. Check my stories for the before so you can appreciate the full transformation. I still have several plans for this space, but this was a good starting point!

I fully intended to be sharing shelves, but I have

I fully intended to be sharing shelves, but I have a knack for making staining 2 boards and hanging 8 brackets take 3 months. 😂 Still planning to get the shelves up today but the light won’t be working in my favor, so I’ll have to wait for another day to share the big reveal. If you’ve been following along in stories, thanks for listening to me complain my way through this DIY. (It’s not even a real diy but 🤫) Only one coat of poly and 32 more pilot holes and screws before they’re fully installed! I’m a little concerned I’ve made this such an ordeal that they won’t be near impressive enough to justify this big production 😂 What kind of home project person are you? Do you start and finish a project in a day or weekend or do you draw it out for weeks and months like me?!

Blogging is 157% the weirdest thing I’ve ever do

Blogging is 157% the weirdest thing I’ve ever done. Last week I bought a ”high quality phone tripod mount” with a remote control so I can take pictures of myself to post here 😂😂 I spent way too much time trying to get this shot so please pretend it’s the best picture of a blogger sitting on a bed that you’ve ever seen. In other news, I finally shared my bedroom on the blog. Check it out to see the room when we bought the house and how it looks now, and find out what few things I have left to do in here. No selfies included, promise.

My toughest design challenge in this house may be

My toughest design challenge in this house may be this 75 gallon fish tank, so we might as well have fun with it. Graham actually suggested we go with black and I thought it was a great idea! SW Black Magic worked perfectly in here. I image it paired with more plants and some vintage frames eventually. It’s definitely a fun wall to play with! Would you ever paint a wall black in your house?!

You know those anthropology antique mirrors that g

You know those anthropology antique mirrors that go on sale for like $800? Yeah - love those things, but they’re not in my budget. Instead I found this cute mirror for $30 on marketplace and added some antique gold rub’n’buff to make a fun substitute. It does the trick for me! My bedroom is one of the most “done” rooms in our house and it’s 100% worth it. I love starting and ending the day in a room I love. If you’ve been putting it off because no one else sees it, consider giving your bedroom a little extra attention and I bet you don’t regret it!

White walls and fancy things...the living room is

White walls and fancy things...the living room is looking better already! My goal for this room is to mix modern and vintage while keeping things minimal and not filling the room with too much stuff. I’m feeling a little nervous about pulling it off, but excited too! Pulling together a look like this will take time and trial and error, and I’m ok with that. Next up is 7’ shelves along this wall. Gotta make room for some plant babies!
