One Room Challenge – Final Reveal – DIYers Dream Workspace

posted on : May 9, 2019 posted by : Jessie 6 Comments

Super, SUPER excited that today is the day I finally get to share with you the BIG reveal for my Modern DIYers Workspace. I am not going to lie the last 6 weeks has not been easy and I literally worked up until the last day finishing up this space. 6 week sounds so long but when reality hits and the projects start the time just flies right by. So…here it is…A fresh look on a DIYers Workspace. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It’s functional, chic, modern, and colorful…all the good stuff packed into one space and guess what…It’s all mine. I have the most beautiful space to work in, a place where creativity can absolutely thrive.

As always, it is so inspiring to see all the other guest participants designs and of course the featured designers, as well. Be sure to have a look on the One Room Challenge (ORC) Blog site to see all the amazing projects going on.

DIY Modern Barn Door

posted on : March 13, 2019 2 Comments

Today I’m going to share with you my DIY Barn Door for under $75! If you have been following along you would know that I am trying to redo my whole house, one room at a time. This door is the final thing to finish off my sitting-room. When we moved in the door going into the basement opened into our main living space. Originally, I took the doors off the hinges for the movers on our moving day because it kept getting in the way. Once it was off, I knew it was never going back on. A Barn Door would be the best option for that space. I kept looking at them and all I could see was dollar signs, which don’t really bother me, but they sure do bother my hubby…hehe! A DIY Barn Door seemed like the obvious choice!

Fireplace Update!

posted on : February 20, 2019 0 Comment

Just thought I would pop in this week and share my final look of my fireplace makeover! Do you remember last week when I shared my half finished Shiplap photo? I thought I could bang-out a super quick project in-between getting all the kids off to school. The girls leave around 8:30 and my little guy leaves around 11, so that gives me 2.5 hours. Obviously I must have fallen out of bed that morning and hit my head because I’m not sure what I was thinking.

Does this ever happen to anyone else? Or am I completely alone? I often get an idea in my head of something I should do, even though there are 500 other more important things I should be doing and I just can’t help myself.

Modern Twist on Valentine’s Day

❤️ Modern Twist on Valentine’s Day ❤️

This year for Valentine’s Day, I wanted to add a Modern twist to my decor. I thought it would be fun to try something a little different from the traditional red, pink and hearts but also, still stay true to the holiday’s fun, flirty style. I did a background of black and white, with pops of color using mostly pink and green. Then added lots of unique, easy and creative DIY’s that everyone can do. Also, remember it’s all about the details! If you look careful at all the pictures the final touches really finish off each space! 😉

Stairway Transformation

posted on : January 10, 2019 0 Comment

So, this year my New Year’s resolution is to finish any project I start. I struggle with this constantly, because I always have my next project in mind and just can’t wait to get to move on to the next one. My stairway would be a victim of this crime. I worked so hard on this stairway for so long and if you see it in the all my photos you would never know that it’s really not finished. Now that is a skill, if I say so myself! So, it’s the New Year and that means it’s time to get to work finishing all my unfinished projects.

The last step left for the stairway was the banister and beams. If you look at the bottom picture, I primed them along time ago, before I even started sanding the steps. It was originally a yellow color…Yikes!! Let’s get this bad boy all finished!!!

Our Year in Review: 2018 Top Blog Posts

It’s hard to believe that 2018 is coming to an end. Jen and I launched our blog September 28th and it has been a crazy, amazing, exciting, sometimes overwhelming adventure ever since. Can you believe it has only been 3 months?? We can’t either!! Time has flown by and we have loved bringing to life all our DIY projects and tutorials, renovations, and just sharing our homes with all of you. We have learned a lot in the process and I am sure have lots more to learn…but through all of it the best part has been connecting with our readers and hearing about your projects and hopefully inspiring others to add a little DIY into their lives.

Here are a few of our favorite blog posts so far and a recap of the most popular with the readers over our first 3 months. We hope you have enjoyed ALL we have shared so far. There are lots of ideas floating around in our notebooks for the New Year, so be looking out for those. If you have a great idea for us, we would love to hear about it too. Let’s make 2019 a GREAT Year!!!
