Instead of the traditional Gingerbread House this year we opted for a Gingerbread Man. Mostly because I think a gingerbread house would look like a tornado hit it after we decorated it with a 1 year old. 🙂 We got all of our supplies together. We made it pretty simple – since we weren’t eating… Continue reading Gingerbread Man Decorating
When I first installed these cabinets I left the doors off and thought I would utilize them as open cabinets and add decorative bins. I didn’t realize how hard of a task this would be. After failing to find matching bins both online and locally without having to spend a small fortune I decided I… Continue reading Updated post: Installing new/old cabinets in the laundry room

Since then we have removed wallpaper, taken down walls, built built-ins, and tiled floors to name just a few of the projects. Our Budget Friendly Kitchen Update: AFTER: The kitchen felt closed off from the rest… Continue reading Kitchen – Before and After

We installed cabinets that we already had above the washer and dryer to create more storage and built the unit between the washer and dryer out of 2×4’s. We also added hooks underneath so that delicates such as bras can dry hanging from the hooks. For links to more details and DIY directions on each… Continue reading Laundry Room Makeover – Details and Final Photos
This tutorial could work for any season. I will link the XOXO template that I made for you to download, but you could easily make your own template (maybe a reindeer for Christmas or a shamrock for St Patty’s Day?).

DIY’ing My Mudroom: Our garage enters into our basement “mudroom”.It is a very small “room”. I would call it more a hallway with a collection of doors leading to several other areas of the house.After finishing the laundry room (doors on the far right side of of picture above), I wanted to do something in… Continue reading Basement Mudroom – DIY
Building a Laundry Room Pantry Our laundry room was lacking storage. We have a pretty big room designated just for laundry, but the only thing in there was a utility sink, an old fridge and the washer and dryer. So I decided I needed to build some shelves. I wanted to use the corner… Continue reading Laundry Room Makeover – Part 4: Pantry
