Cottage Style Deck Refresh
Refreshing an outdoor space, whether it be a patio or deck, can be very costly- so when it came time to change our outdoor furniture I had to get to work finding budget friendly pieces to bring this space together. We recently posted a tutorial sharing the our DIY deck update, staining and painting it top to bottom to breathe new life into our worn out old deck. I loved the finished deck, but not our furniture- it wasn’t quite right for my family. Outdoor living is both fun and beautiful and important to my family, so I wanted to update the space to better meet our needs. I started…

DIY Montessori Floor House Bed
House beds are trending right now for toddlers and kids because they work with Montessori style bedrooms, and are so easy to DIY! Arlo is a super active little boy who is always playing, climbing, and exploring, and we love Montessori style toys and play spaces for him that encourage his imagination. We designed his bedroom with the Montessori method in mind so that everything would invite him to play. When it was time to choose a big boy bed and say goodbye to his crib, we knew we wanted a floor house bed to offer Montessori style play benefits as well. Arlo would be able to get in and…

So when I found a product that my kids could use to make their beds fast and easy, I was more than excited. Beddy’s Beds are an all-in-one bed set that go on your bed like a sheet and zip apart for easy washing and use. They are soft, comfortable, and VERY cute.

Organizing a Pop-Up Camper {Pop-Up Camping}
Camping with a Pop-Up can be super fun and easy when you do just a few things to organize. Camping is my favorite summer family tradition, mostly because it satisfies my obsession with traveling the PNW with my kids, while staying within a modest budget. Our family has invested in a Pop-Up Camper for the 5 of us (plus sometimes friends) to keep us comfortable as we explore. The key to successful camping is being super organized, and that includes having a well-organized Pop-Up Camper. From experience, I have learned that the more prep work you can get done before you camp, the more fun and relaxation you can enjoy…

Farmhouse Style Guest Bedroom Makeover
This past summer I cleaned out the very messy craft room and converted it into a fresh, welcoming farmhouse style neutral guest bedroom. We have friends and family stay over multiple times per month, and shifting the kids and air mattresses just wasn’t working anymore. First I had to clear the clutter, and organize a lifetime of craft supplies into the tiny guest bedroom closet. Once the clutter was clear, I could design and create the perfect, cozy farmhouse style neutral guest bedroom. Like most makeovers I’m my house, I start with a mood board that I create digitally. Here is my mood board for this room, its neutral and…
