I will be sharing my house projects with you here. The trial and error, ups and downs, and what I’ve learned. I’ve found, so many times, projects are shared and the results are magnificent. Then, when you try to recreate the project, you run into all kinds of mishaps. What looks so simple in that YouTube video, isn’t quite so simple in real life.Â

We have a tiny, funny-shaped room that we decided to turn into a studio, of sorts. The room needed a table but it had to be small enough to fit in and move around the tiny room. It also needed to be counter height so my son could put his laptop on it and record…

There’s a huge art niche above our stairwell that has sat empty for the last year. It looked so blah and boring but I wasn’t sure what to do with it. We aren’t into fine art or the stuff you would normally adorn an art niche with so we got creative! We started with An…

I had precisely two minutes before picking the kids up from school when there was that dreaded knock on the door. My heart sank. I have read you should never avoid that knock in case it’s a thief just checking to see if you’re home. You know the drill, they knock on your front door and, when…
