How to Create a Plaid Feature Wall
I don’t write a lot of in depth tutorials, but there were a lot of asks for a break down of how I created the plaid feature wall in my entry, and as always I am here to help. To make things easier I tried to name some of the parts of the project I refer to over and over again, and you will find them in CAPS throughout. In this project, the installation is relatively easy, but the planning is more involved. I tried to break things down as best I could and included some (hopefully) helpful diagrams to illustrate things further as well as some progress pics so…

My Favorite One Room Challenge Design Trends
Since my tired legs sorely needed a rest this weekend, I was able to go through all of my fellow One Room Challenge guest participants final reveals and all I can say is WOW!! I’ve said it before but the support from this community is the main reason I put myself through this crazy 6 weeks each year, but a close second is the incredible wealth of talent, inspiration, and DIY ideas this group provides! As I going through everyone’s finished spaces, I started to notice a few trends that kept popping up – so I thought it would be great to share not just my favorite reveals but also…

One Room Challenge Week 6 – The Foyer / Staircase / Loft FINAL REVEAL
And just like that we’ve reached the end my friends – six weeks of late nights, early mornings, and constant trips to the hardware store and my One Room Challenge spaces are done. At the end of Week 4 I was incredibly worried that I wasn’t going to make it, but something magical always seems to happen in that final push and it all comes together. I want to thank you all for joining me on this journey – both here on the blog but also through my other social media channels. I have said it before but it bears repeating – your interest in this project and support along…

One Room Challenge Week 4 – How many Accent Walls is too many?
Remember way back in Week 2 when I said that my design plan was “a lot of look?” Well here we are already wrapping up Week 4 of the One Room Challenge and thankfully most of that “look” is installed so it’s too late to turn back now! As I sit here and type this I’m also writing up my list of things still left to do and realizing I’m going to put in many many late nights to pull this off, but for now let’s celebrate what has already been checked off! if you missed any of the first three weeks you can check them out at the links…

One Room Challenge Week 3 – Demoing and Rebuilding my Banisters
We’ve reached the halfway point of the One Room Challenge! I’m seriously trying to figure out if I am more in the weeds than last year, or if I just completely blocked all of that out and only remember the feeling of accomplishment. I think I severely under-estimated the amount of finishing work and painting I have taken on this time, but I keep trying to remind myself that I can always paint into the wee hours of the morning as long as I have everything installed – and that’s what week 3 was all about! If you missed my first two posts you can check them out below: Week…

I’ve made a lot of progress (and I’ll share some quick peeks with you at the end of this post) but nothing is 100% finished yet so I think that’s where my anxiety is coming from, but the plan is to wrap up a few things this weekend which will feel fantastic! Week 1 / Week 2 / Week 3 / Week 4 / Week 5 /…

How to build a Faux Fireplace – and make it glow!

I had a few questions pop up about how I went about installing the faux fireplace in our front room, so I decided to write a more detailed How To tutorial on my process. Unfortunately I did not take a ton of pictures while I was building, but I think I was still able to break it down for those that want to follow alone at home. If you’d like to check out the full reveal of this room,…

Adding the Final Details with Legrand Outlets and Switches
This post is sponsored by the Legrand radiant® Collection; all opinions and experiences are my own. When you’re taking on a large home makeover there are countless big decisions that need to be made, but many times it’s the small decisions that really make a project special. One of the easiest changes you can make to a room, that oftentimes gets overlooked, is to replace your electrical outlets and light switches. Since I’ve been slowly making this change in my own home, I was incredibly excited when Legrand reached out to me to sponsor my Spring One Room Challenge and provide me with products from the Legrand radiant® collection…
