Clara just turned eight and she loves arts and crafts. This week we surprised her with her very own art station in her room! She loved it so much she’s been in their every afternoon creating away. We used to keep all our supplies in a cabinet in the dining room, but that got taken… Read More Bedroom / craft room makeover
We need some organization in here! It just always looks untidy in my boys’ shared room with messy bunkbeds, cords and I’m not sure what to think about how they rearranged their desks! I’ve partnered with Beddy’s (affiliate link) to makeover their bunkbeds and it is SO good. It’s actually shocking. Wait until you see… Read More Boys’ bunkbed room organizing
It’s incredible how wallpaper can change a space. I think of it as large-scale art. I don’t think I’ve ever done a post on how to wallpaper with paste, so let’s do it! It’s a bit trickier than peel and stick, but it lasts longer and sometimes that’s the only option. This week I wallpapered… Read More How to wallpaper with paste
Can you believe these nightstands are painted?! When I painted a couple frames to look like wood, I had a lot of questions on whether they this technique would hold up on doors or tables. The answer was: I don’t know! So I decided to find out. I tried the same faux wood painting on… Read More Painted faux wood nightstands
I haven’t shared Clara’s room for awhile here, so I thought I’d show you some fun touches I’ve added! I hung a large macramé curtain behind a mirror over her desk, some gold star decals on the ceiling and even some new artwork. The wall behind her desk looked so bare and boring next to… Read More Updated girl’s room with mural and macramé wall
I’ve done a little updating in our well-used guest bedroom! I added a beautiful ocean mural, painted half walls, and repurposed items from other parts of the house. I can’t wait to give you a tour! I finished this right before we started staying home, but am just now finding the time to take photos… Read More Ocean mural in the guest room

I tried to find the best bang for your buck and also make things functional. Let’s jump into it! Large macramé curtain, $55 I’m just going to start right… Read More Favorite Amazon home finds
The boys room was very bland and needed some pop! I decided on a bold, teal accent wall with board and batten ($100). I added a fun detail to the ceiling by stamping it with a star in the same color ($5). I also found some affordable posters ($9) and hung them with cheap wooden… Read More Blue green board and batten wall in boys’ shared room
My mom says you can do anything with four blank walls, and this room is proof she is absolutely right! Clara’s room is fairly small with no architectural detail or high ceilings, but with a vibrant framed mural it’s stunning! I asked her if she’d switch me rooms and she said no. I’ll show you… Read More Framed green garden mural in girl’s room
Our guest room is finally done! It used to be the home office, but Marcello and I both had the idea at the same time to close in the double doors and make it another bedroom! I did it on the cheap (of course), I’ll show you how. I wanted the room to work for… Read More Neutral guest room with twin beds, blue ceiling
Our many blank walls have been driving me nuts. I had some white IKEA frames from our last house so I thought I’d get creative and fill up some of these empty spaces! I’m artistic in the way of being creative, but not in the way of skilled painting or drawing. So I’ve come up with… Read More Easy DIY art ideas
One of my biggest joys in this move has been decorating the guest house! My in-laws and I did quizzes through Skype to find their style, and fortunately for me it was easy because they like bright, white and simple. Perfect! Me too! I would say the style of the guest house is reigned-in coastal… Read More Guest house tour: Furnished for $2,900
