Custom Shelf Storage

8,571. That’s how many blankets we have. Approximately. Maybe not quite, but it feels like it.

Our first house was half the size but had twice as much storage as our current home, and that has presented some storage challenges. As far as linen closets go, we have ONE little closet in our upstairs hall. Our laundry room on the main floor is a disaster to discuss on another day, but it’s where we store most of our cleaning supplies. I wouldn’t say I’m lazy, but I don’t exactly want to walk up and down our stairs every time I need to clean our upstairs bathrooms (or other messes – thank you, cat), so I also need to store some cleaning supplies in that linen closet. Why don’t I just store them in the bathrooms, you ask? Because I need any storage space in the bathrooms for towels, toiletries, etc. This linen closet really is the best option…

Custom Turntable for Craft Supplies

To say our girls love art is a huge understatement. To say they make a mess is an even bigger understatement. I’d initially planned to make their art space in our basement, but I don’t want to kick them out of our kitchen/living room (where all the action is). It’s their house too, after all.

Despite many promises to pick up their scrap paper and put caps on their markers, our kitchen island daily looked like the picture below. It was both a constant mess AND the girls couldn’t find anything. So how was I to fix this?? (And to be honest, I took this picture on a good day. 😆)

DIY Layered Wall Art

Life (and UPS) handed me lemons, but here’s how I lemonaded a broken mirror into wall art.

The original mirror I’d ordered for my guest bathroom showed up broken, so after letting Amazon know and getting a refund, I had this broken mirror lying around. I liked the frame and so kept it in the back of my mind until some way to use it came together. I saw a couple of cool ideas on Pinterest of art I wanted to mimic, and once I finally had the time (bathroom finished!) I got to work with what I had.

Making Double Doors

Our guest bedroom isn’t nearly the disaster that our guest bathroom was, but it’s still quirky. When I repainted the room and added decorative details to the walls, I was in and out of the room enough to confirm that the door into the room was an annoying problem. It had to open into the room and swing away from the corner because of where the light switch was on the wall. And because the room is pretty small, when the door was open, it awkwardly took up a lot of room.

DIY Shower Wall Slab

It’s been over a week, and I’m still recovering from this one. 😆 After demo-ing and rebuilding and waterproofing and tiling/grouting and finishing a shower for my aunt, I’m pretty happy with the end result. (And she claims to be pleased too, so that’s all that matters 😉) The WHOLE process of a shower remodel can be done in different ways – and people on the internet will give plenty of advice and opinions on how best to do it – so I’m only going to share how I do the most fun part. This is not my original idea, but it’s a really cool and relatively cheap way to add a “wow factor” to a remodeled shower.
