Satin ribbon is one of my favorite things to keep on hand. It makes the perfect drapey bow and is an affordable way to jazz something up! It’s the perfect wreath for the spring season. Adding little touches like this can make such a difference in your home.
Paint colors are some of the most asked questions Paint colors are some of the most asked questions I get in my dms! Here are the paint colors I’ve used in the main part of my home.

Let’s face it, as a boy mom, the house can get a l Let’s face it, as a boy mom, the house can get a little stinky. One thing that has helped me this winter is this @brilliantscents diffuser.

Once the base cabinets were built, it was time to Once the base cabinets were built, it was time to add the face frame and our DIY countertop! We milled down poplar stock to 1.5” and cut that to length. Robby built the face frame with wood glue and pocket hole screws. We added a decorate foot to the face frame to give the cabinets a little extra charm. We attached the face frame to the cabinets using wood glue and a brad nailer. Then we started on our DIY countertop. We laminate 2 pieces of 3/4” MDF boards with LOTS of wood glue and clamps. Let those set for at least 24 hours, then we used a flush trim bit on the router to make sure they were perfectly lined up and looked like one single piece. We added a chamfer to the top and sanded the MDF well. Then we located the studs in the wall and attached the cabinet bases to the wall with 3” construction screws. Then we shimmed the countertop to make sure it was level and once we were happy, we attached the countertop to the cabinet underneath through the top board with more construction screws! Now it’s time to work on the bench that sits underneath the window. It’s looking amazing so far 😍 #diylibrary #homelibrary #diy
