One of the biggest goals for the living room was installing an IKEA desk. After two years of living in this home, and eight years of marriage, it was time for a proper adult-like desk. And now, we have one! I used a set of Alex drawers and two legs with two desk tops to […]

I moved the alarm control panel that used to be on this wall into our bedroom which is on the other side of the wall. Moving […]
Beige Bathroom Makeover: Reveal
One of the first rooms in our home that I had an itch to touch up was our beige bathroom and with that, I accepted the challenge to complete a budget bathroom makeover with almond fixtures, since replacing the toilet, sink, and shower is not a priority for us right now. It was a small […]
Two Shelves Down, Two to Go!

My dad joined two pieces of ash wood together for the shelves and they turned out beautifully. I had planned to install […]
