I've been dreaming up this laundry room makeover for months now and we finally got around to it! We didn't want to spend a lot of money on this makeover so I knew we would have to get creative on ways to get the look I wanted for less. Not only was I wanting to brighten up this room and make it feel larger, I also needed it to function better for our family. Here is a quick look at the before pictures of our laundry room.

Happy Labor Day weekend my friends! I've been super busy this past week trying to get all my "projects" finished up so we could just spend time relaxing and playing with the kiddos. This fireplace refresh was a quick, easy project that had such a huge payoff. You see this tile surrounding our fireplace has been staring at me and mocking me since the day we moved in. Every time I would walk by it I would cringe. But it just wasn't on on the top of our priorities so I just "lived" with it. Finally I'd had enough, I woke up and decided I was gonna slap some paint on it. I mean what's the worst that could happen? We planned on replacing it at some point anyways so if this was a project fail no harm done. Right?!

I'm so ecstatic to FINALLY be sharing our basement bar remodel with you guys! We totally underestimated the time it would take to complete this project. But adding two kids into the equation will do that. ;) The total project took about 3 months, which when I think about it isn't that long but when you're in the thick of it seems veerrrryyy long. :) I decided to host our neighborhoods annual "Ladies Night" at our house this year and couldn't be more excited to break in the bar. :) It also helped us keep on schedule to get everything finished. We worked so hard on this space and can't wait to make memories this holiday season in our new home with our friends and loved ones.

Well now that the leaves are officially turning colors and starting to fall I think it's time to post pictures of our fall home. :) I don't usually go to crazy with fall decor because I go ALL OUT for Christmas. But this year something got into me, I could not stop decorating! It doesn't help that Homegoods and Target had the cutest stuff this year! Seriously guys, I need a support group for my Target addiction.

Well hello there! Sorry I've been MIA for a few weeks, we've been busting our butts trying to get this basement/office remodel done. There is definite progress being made, we now have a new wall up, almost done painting, and the granite guy came today to measure for our bar countertops! (insert excited face emoji) The new wall is now concealing our new office/guest room. We wanted a space that we could both work out of that would be both masculine and feminine at the same time. So I came up with "Industrial Chic", sounds like a compromise to me. :) Truth be told, I like masculine design so I was pretty happy with this plan. Plus it gave me an opportunity to use Navy which I've been really wanting to use somewhere.
Read moreDIY Furniture Makeover (PLUS: Chalk Paint Tutorial)
You know that one piece of furniture that you've always wanted but just couldn't find for the right price??? Well, for me that was an entryway bench. I loooovvvee the functionality, and how much fun they are to style for different seasons. So when I stumbled upon this sweet little church pew I knew I couldn't go home without it. The color however was not exactly my favorite, so I did a little tutorial for you on how to paint a piece of furniture using chalk paint while still making it appear old and rustic. I like when paint has layers and character. Almost like it's been painted several times over many years and the older colors are peeking through. This style is not for everyone but I absolutely love it!
