STOP PINNING. START DOING.
My friend Kellie asked me to help give her guest bathroom a makeover and I was immediately all in. I met Kellie for the first time in November 2023 when we made over her dining room for my DIY Together YouTube series. Now we’ve become real-life best friends. I was so excited to take on this guest bathroom makeover with her!
While on vacation, I saw some super rad headboards painted on the wall. They were amazing, and I just knew I wanted to recreate something similar in my own house. So for Colton’s 13th birthday, I gave him a super fun boy’s bedroom makeover. And it provided the perfect opportunity to create a DIY-painted headboard wall that I was dying to make!
You guys, nothing brings out my inner nerd more than making fun themed spaces for my kids. It makes me so happy! Remember the DIY Hogwarts Great Hall? And the Giant Lite Brite? And did you see the way I geeked out over my dad’s Eclipse photos? I’ve always been fascinated by space!
Over the last two years, both of my boys have become OBSESSED with outer space. As in, they put together their own space presentations for Aubrey and me. It’s the best!
Hence, the reason for this under the stairs space closet!
Sometimes when I start a project, my vision for it changes along the way. For the most part, this DIY built-in mudroom project turned out pretty close to what I imagined. I combined a few different elements from the inspiration photos and put together a list of my must haves: moody paint, a stained bench, vertical planking, gold hooks, and the finishing touch – arches! While I debated doing open or closed lockers, I figured the extra step to open the lockers and hang a backpack wouldn’t work well for my kids. So I went with open dividers and I love the way it turned out!
I’m sharing with you all the steps I followed to create a DIY built-in mudroom for my kids (and myself!) in our house.
I’ve done a lot of collabs over the years. From rugs to flooring to pillows, I’m all about projects that combine my love of design and building into something I can share with you guys! So you can take a little slice of my home and bring it into yours. This next collab is something that’s both functional and beautiful. And, like all my other projects, won’t break the bank!
Happy 2024! I have missed you guys but I am so excited to share what I’ve been up to. Keep reading for more life updates plus some exciting updates on my 2024 projects.

Ever since I walked into my house, I just knew my bedroom HAD to have ceiling beams. Not just any beams… we’re talking plank beams!
During my most recent DIY project, I transformed my awkward nook into a beautiful electric fireplace feature wall! I took tons of inspiration from different designs and aesthetics to achieve this space! A fireplace is a focal point to a room, so how you decorate your mantel really matters. Even though I chose to add very minimal décor onto my mantel, I believe that this space is versatile enough to add all kinds of décor. I have rounded up a couple different styles so you’re bound to find something that fits your style!
