I recently did a makeover for my kids’ bedroom and built the beds using vintage headboards. Sweet Night reached out and asked if they could send me a mattress to test out in exchange for a review. I typically don’t like to accept product in exchange for reviews, but since I was building beds, it was uncanny they should reach out right when I was in the market for two mattresses.

I used to think my sons’ toilets were the grossest thing in our house, but clearly, after taking on this challenge, I see that it was our oven! EEK! Be prepared to be shocked, my friends. I’m slightly embarrassed. But I also realize that if mine is gross, yours probably is a little gross, too. It’s hard to keep up with laundry, much less ovens!  Thankfully, I found a solution that helped clean it up without killing off a few brain cells from the fumes. Hope this info helps you, too!

I was just saying the other day to someone that my favorite projects are the ones where I’m forced to think outside of the box!  Many times it could be a sponsor coming to me with a product and I think, “Oh, I know what I could do with that!” or it could be a monthly theme or challenge and it requires me to brainstorm cool ideas!

From the ugly, outdated, original linoleum flooring in my basement utility room, to the dirty-stained cotton-candy pink insulation spilling out from between the ceiling floor joists, it’s a constant reminder that my home has literally become “middle aged” during the 13 years we’ve lived here.  Because it’s not an inviting area of my home, I’m rarely jumping for joy to go down there into the belly of my basement.

I love pink painted furniture. Others detest it with a passion. I had found this vintage oak veneer sewing cabinet at the thrift store about 10 years ago for only $40! It was perfect how compact it was, but the dark wood was boring and had some surface imperfections. I could never decide whether paint or stain was the route to go so it just sat for years, with occasional use.

Do you ever walk by something at the thrift store and your brain says, “Whooooa, hold up–I can make something with THAT!!”  Well, that’s what happened when I stopped by the thrift store and walked past this section of knife blocks and inspiration hit. I’ve got a great idea for a DIY knife block! I can’t even say what that inspiration was.  I just saw all that wood sitting there and I started salivating. I just knew I was supposed to buy one. And boy am I glad I did!
