Hooray…three cheers for Pfister – they are sponsoring this post and helped me remodel our tub shower combo as part of our bath remodel. As always, all opinions are my own. Remember the before photos from our hall bath? Lovely, right? 🙂 When we moved in, I was 7 months pregnant and the number one thing…

Hall bathroom before + remodel plans
I have mentioned this a time or two…but our house was pretty ugly when we first moved in. Out of the five houses we’ve lived in and remodeled, this one was the worst in my opinion—both in terms of condition and looks. The fun thing, however, is we made a commitment to stay in this home…
How to Clean Concrete (the Easy Way!) – Porches, Patios, Driveways + More
For some of the country, patio season is winding down. For other parts of the country, specifically here in Texas, patio season is finally just getting started! Temperatures have gone from 110 (for real, ya’ll) to the 70’s and I. Am. Loving. It! We are spending more time on our patio, but there’s been one…
How to Choose and Use Basic Tools
I’ve done a lot of DIY projects over the past 8 years, and have learned a lot the hard way—by trial and error, or by watching a project come crashing down (literally and metaphorically!).

Minimalist Interior Design: Target’s New Made By Design Review
Lately, I’ve been leaning more towards a minimal aesthetic in our home. I will never be a minimalist, but as we’ve been slowly babyproofing (i.e. hide and get rid of everything so baby can’t put it in her mouth/break it/drop it on her head/etc.), I’ve been kind of digging the idea of a return to…

Our Easy, DIY Non-Toxic Cleaning Routine
Over the past several years, I’ve become a lot more holistic in my approach to self-care. It started with a desperation to regain energy after years of feeling icky thanks to a very under-active thyroid. After years of medications and following “expert” advice, I changed my diet, purged out a lot of chemicals and seriously…
Living Room Decorating Ideas: Easy DIY Flower Wall Decor
Do you ever have a wall in your living room that’s just blank and practically begging for something super special to go there? We have this mint painted piano and I wanted to do something really special and fun above it, like flower wall decor! Sometimes things are easier said than done, but this easy DIY isn’t…
The UpSkill Project Workshop Summary
I’ve had a great time partnering with Lowe’s to promote The UpSkill Project over the past several weeks and have been especially looking forward to The UpSkill Project Workshop, which was held at the Preston Road Lowe’s location in Dallas on a chilly Saturday morning. We had an incredible turnout and I had so much fun…
Galley Kitchen Remodel: Painting Kitchen Cabinets
This is my fifth kitchen renovation (can you believe that?!!?), and I’m starting to feel like I sort of, kind of know what I’m doing now. Our galley kitchen remodel is coming along quite nicely! After (finally) deciding on a floor plan, we decided to paint the kitchen cabinets. Painting kitchen cabinets are something I’m…
