DIY Herringbone Floor in a Hallway

I’m sure I will be very sad when my husband’s cat finally dies. But, as you might’ve learned from one of my TikTok rants, I will not miss ruined carpets. We’re holding out on replacing most of our house’s flooring until after Lucky passes, but our upstairs hallway carpet had suffered so many Lucky “visits” that I couldn’t take it anymore. Eventually we will probably put all new carpet in the hallway and bedrooms because this is Michigan and it gets COLD up there in winter, but for now I found a fairly inexpensive and kinda cool new flooring solution. Is it temporary or is it permanent? We’ll see when the time comes for carpet in the bedrooms.

Custom DIY Bar Stand for a Beverage Fridge

In our more optimistic moments, my husband and I like to think we’re social. In one such moment, we bought a beverage fridge for our basement so it would be easy to get drinks when we had people over for bonfires in our backyard (and also just to be stocked up for company in general). We had a nice little corner spot for the fridge, but the problem was that we had ONLY the space and nothing else. It looked like this:

DIY Hanging Office Drawer

I have more posts coming about how I redid our home office, but I just finished this last piece of the puzzle and thought I’d share it right away. Our custom office desk has a lot of open shelving and tabletop space, but there are always those office supplies you want tucked away – pens, staplers, random junk, etc. And for that, of course you want a drawer.

Painting Picture Frames with Fire and Unicorn Spit

Some projects take longer to explain than to do, so I made a video of this project to show how I did it. That’s over on my YouTube channel for those of you who want a more visual tutorial.

But for my blog, here’s a step-by-step of how I turned plain wooden picture frames into colorful and unique frames!

Easy-to-Reach Measuring Cup and Spoon Organizer

I’m short. Or at least that’s what my husband likes to tell me whenever I can’t reach something in our upper cabinets. And reaching to the back of corner upper cabinets? Forget about it.

A second common kitchen problem is never being about to easily find the right measuring cup or spoon when you’re in a hurry. Personally, I tried the old “keep them in the same bowl” method. Still had to rummage. I tried using hooks on the inside of a cupboard door. This worked for me, but apparently the noise of clanking cups and spoons whenever you opened the cupboard freaked out my forgetful husband and visitors, who apparently thought everything was falling out of our cabinet.
