makeover in a month | slipcovered desk chair
If you missed part one of the Makeover in a Month series, where we installed and painted paneling, you can catch up HERE. In this post, I’m continuing my office makeover by sharing my slipcovered desk chair. If you’re observant, you may have noticed that a few desk chairs have come and gone from my […]
the work of gardening gnomes & painting peonies
My typical gardening routine each year is to start enthusiastically and then fizzle out as the weather gets hot and beds are overwhelmed with weeds. A part of that is I was battling beds filled with rocks, deteriorating weed-blocking fabric, and plants I didn’t like. There wasn’t a lot of incentive to care for it […]

master bathroom makeover | picks & finishes
If you’ve been following my Instagram stories, you’ve seen the beginning of our master bathroom makeover! The demo, electrical, and plumbing work are done, so we are well underway. I would say that our bathroom is a pretty good example of a suburban master suite that is about 10-15 years old. It’s big with a […]
