Drop Zone part 3 - the hardware

I got these beautiful brushed brass pulls from @cosmas_hardware. Comment Pull and I’ll send you the link!

This project is almost done and I’m so excited for all the storage!

Super excited to have a drop zone in our mudroom soon! This is something I’ve been planning since we moved it. We had this great empty space between the kitchen and the garage and finally have a good sense of what our family needs to function better.

This will have a place to drop stuff as we come in the house, organize school papers, hold returns, etc. and a super fun charging drawer powered by @dockingdrawer!

Follow along for the rest of this series! I posted detailed stories about this process

This DIY ball pit was one of the easier and quicker DIYs I’ve done. Build a simple box, cover with foam, batting and fabric.

And he thinks “it’s cool!” which is all I needed to hear ☺️

I took advantage of my maternity leave and re-did my office!

Before it had boxes of books, old bookcases, random mismatched furniture, etc.
Now I have a ton of functional storage for office supplies, extra cords, paperwork, and books. As well as an upgraded background for when I’m on camera.

If you’re curious how I made this, check out my three part series on the build.

I’m loving the progress I’m making in UGC, but it does take a lottttt of time. So between that and a full time day job, I’ve been struggling with balance.

How do I spend the time to build something that will let me stay home with the kids, while not sacrificing time with them now?

Would love any thoughts or strategies you’ve used to bring some balance to your life.

Went for a Kale video, couldn’t find the product 😭

But picked up a lot of fun new things that I’m excited to try!

Comment “Ball Pit” for a link to all the supplies!
Adding all the foam was like a life sized Tetris puzzle! And the spray adhesive mostly worked, but when I came back two days later to do the fabric, it was only stuck in a few places, think there was just too much pull since it was one piece I had bent over the sides.

Up next, adding the batting and fabric to finish the frame!

I finished with an hour to spare 😂 so happy the original fabric showed up on time, it said it wasn’t gonna come in for another week or two.

Trickiest part of this was trying to hold the fabric in place to staple, but I made it work! Also putting it in a corner was clutch, because I only needed two outside edges to look nice

A day at the beach with a 4 yr old and a 5 month old is logistically complicated but doable. Here are some of our faves from this trip.

A wagon! This was invaluable to haul everything from the house to the beach.

A tent. Definitely more worth it for sunny days or days where you’ll spend at least a few hours. We didn’t set it up every day.

Chairs for everyone. We got our 4 yr old a chair this year, and while he didn’t always use it, when he wanted to he wasn’t stealing ours.

Beach toys. This could be as simple as a bucket and a shovel.

Beach blanket. Or towel, just one that shakes the sand off easy. Was nice to have somewhere to lay the baby.

We recently went to Greece with our almost 4 yr old and our 4 month old, for 10 days. Here’s some things that were worth packing and some things I would skip next time!

What are some of your travel must haves with kids? Or things you’ve packed and then not used?

Redid my office with a row of Ikea built ins, SW inky blue paint, new light fixture, zebra shades, and art

Final part of fire pit build ✨

Love how this turned out! And now that the weather is cooling off, we can make s’mores in the backyard in the evenings

Fire pit build part 2 ✨

Building the fire pit itself was probably the easiest part of this project. Definitely a beginner DIY, minimal tools, minimal materials.

And the retaining wall blocks from @loweshomeimprovement made for the perfect DIY fire pit!

Fire pit build part 1 ✨

The start of this project was a ton of manual hard labor, but well worth it in the end!

Y’all wanted to know how much the pantry project was, so here’s the cost breakdown.

The miscellaneous costs for more screws, paint rollers, glue, etc is always more than I think.
And of course there were extra delivery fees for the original appliance tower I had to return cause it was too big.

Did you guess that this was cheaper or more expensive?

The pantry is done 👏

This is your sign to ditch those builder grade wire racks and design something that improves the flow and function for your family!
