Powder Bathroom Plank Walls & A Sneak Peak

We’ve made a serious amount of progress in the powder bathroom. I pretty much couldn’t live with the house tore up any longer, so Anthony and I spent two nights working in there until 1:00 in the morning. We might have had a bit of a motivation… seeing that his birthday was the 5th and […]

Painted Guest Bedroom Wall

Well, I finally painted the guest bedroom wall. I knew it would probably be a little bit tricky since I was going from a white plank wall to a dark black/green wall… and I was right. This was one of the more time consuming walls I’ve painted lately, but it was worth the extra time! […]

I love the color white. White walls, white flowers, white clothing, white vehicles… basically white everything. When we first […]

DIY Wood Planked Pantry Door

Hi there! A while back I mentioned that I had a few ideas to spruce up our pantry door since I  had just painted our mudroom door black. And since they’re both in the same small room, I didn’t feel like we’d need two accent doors. Long story short, I told Anthony about my idea […]
