The Library
I turned our builder-basic dining room into a lounge-y library, perfect for curling up with a nightcap and a good book. There’s even a secret dog apartment under the beautiful blue built-in!
The Home Office
Our under-utilized guest bedroom was ripe for a massive makeover in the form of a graphic home office. From the IKEA desk hack to the full wall whiteboard, there are tons of ideas to try!
The Master
After sleeping on a floor mattress for the better part of two years I turned my attention to creating a moody master bedroom retreat. The stencil accent wall alone is worth a closer look.
The Girls Bedroom
My girls shared bedroom was nothing but a white box with mattresses on the floor (a theme for me, apparently). See how I transformed it into a magical secret garden at night.

The Living Room Reveal! Um, Kinda…
Let’s just call this post what it is: a placeholder. Today was supposed to be the big One Room Challenge reveal day for my living room, but life happened. Sold out items happened. Overzealously nailed baseboards happened. I’ve done four of these and finished all of them on time — this one just wasn’t in…

ORC Week 5: The Sturm Und Drang (of Painting the Walls)
Week 5 of the One Room Challenge and whoah nelly, it’s been a busy one! Painting all those walls a lovely shade of black(ish). I have to laugh at how naive I was at the start of the project. Even having years of experience that should have made me know better. I somehow thought I could bang…
