STOP PINNING. START DOING.
Wow, it’s finally done!! Last year I decided to transform this space into the perfect playroom for my kids. I thought the space was really cool already (I mean look at those before and after pictures below). But I still felt like there were some details missing to give it that magic. So I picked up my tools and got back to work. Before sharing the full loft playroom DIY reveal, let me take you through the process.
Well, WE DID IT! In just 48 short hours, my super talented friends (Lindsay @frills_and_drills and Mysha @remingtonavenue) and I flew to Utah and transformed my niece’s bedroom into a space she never wants to leave! This will never get old to me. I love the transformation process, and the emotional lift that creating gives. This “old and boring room that looked like a T-REX stomped on it” now looks like “magical fairies came in and did my room!” according to Brooke. I am thrilled with how this space came together. It’s simple, it’s magical, it’s PERFECT.

The garage needed an upgrade, so I decided to epoxy the floors and paint a GIANT quote on one of the walls. Spontaneous, right? I spend so much time in my garage and it’s been an eyesore ever since we moved in, so painting this wall and redoing the floors was just the refresh this space needed, and I’m so happy with how both projects turned out.
I finished the DIY quote wall just before my kiddos went back to in-person school after a whole year of virtual school at home. We battle a lot of anxiety in this house, me included…and this quote really spoke to me for how I want to set the tone for them for this year. It’s not until we actually take that leap (and potentially fall) that we realize we can fly.
When I saw Studio McGee’s Iva dining table I knew I had to have it but didn’t want to spend the $4,200. I decided to take on the challenge of building this table myself because I really loved the designer look of it. There’s nothing better than a DIY solid wood table that’s kid-friendly, durable, and functional all in one.
Here are three ways to affordably DIY black windows – electrical tape straight on the window, Rustoleum primer and paint in one satin spray paint and thin pvc trim like from New Panes.
I can’t believe the kitchen is finished! From a dream in my head to the install, so much thought thought and
design went into creating the space you see on my feed.
I wanted to walk you through the designer elements I’ve used in my kitchen from materials to
colors to show how YOU can get a designer kitchen on a budget. Ready? You got this!

What a whirlwind of a week doing this makeover with the DIY Dream Team (Making Pretty Spaces and Frills and Drills) for our favorite couple in Atlanta. I’m so glad that we could do this room for their little miracle baby. It was an absolute honor to creating this beautiful room with these beautiful humans for an amazing couple.

So…how much does it really cost to renovate a kitchen you ask? Today, I want to break it down for you so that you can see what is possible for you for your kitchen, and how to afford it. The first thing to realize is that kitchens can be anywhere from hundreds of dollars all the way up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the best kitchen reno is the one that is in YOUR home and done in a way that YOU love and that YOU can afford.
