POV: you can’t say no to your mom 😉 How cute is her garage mudroom refresh? I love how cozy it feels! ❤️ Brightened everything up with paint. I used my favorite one-step paint, Heirloom Traditions, for the door. ❤️ Got the shoes off the ground with the fantastic IKEA shoe cabinets that I also used in my garage mudroom. ❤️ Revived and protected the stairs by sanding and waterproofing. I love the rubber stair treads to keep anyone from slipping. I found those at Lowe’s! What do you think? Are you inspired to revamp your garage entry yet?

Rubber stair treads are a must for keeping people safe on exterior or garage stairs! I like that these aren’t ornate like most that you see. The simple design makes them more modern. And you don’t have to screw them into place!

My October Wish List! 1. Twisty Flameless taper candles in beautiful fall colors. Battery operated and beautiful! 2. Fall floral throw pillow covers to update my old pillows. 3. Cozy faux suede slipper clogs for those chilly mornings. 4. Beautiful faux leaves stems that don’t scream fall. The burgundy or purple color is dramatic and beautiful. 5. Gal sneakers in the hot shade of brown! 6. Marble ghost cheese board will be cute for Halloween parties or on display as kitchen decor.

Bathroom refresh with moody green wall paint and taupe, brass and black accessories.

Antique brass switch plates were an easy upgrade.

Gold frame landscape art prints were a serene touch.

And textiles like a shower curtain and patterned bath towels brought warmth and coziness.

This is THE piece to add to your wardrobe this fall. I’m in love with this short sleeve sweater tee. It’s the perfect piece to dress up for a date night, or dress down for picking up the kids from school. It comes in five colors and it definitely a step up from your typical tee shirt.

Here I paired it with wide leg cropped jeans and comfy suede clogs for an early fall look.

I’m 5’8” / 135 lbs and wearing a size small in the shirt (I think it runs a bit large) 6 in the jeans (they also run large as I’m usually an 8), and a 10 in the clogs (true to size).

This product is GENIUS!! It’s a mini paint sprayer that is absolutely perfect for small projects, like this air return vent that I wanted to blend with the wall.

If using latex paint, I found that you really have to thin it with water. I probably did a 50/50 ratio. The unit is finicky but it eventually worked. I had a backup canister in hand, which was helpful. The first one got very cold and had to warm up before I could use it again, so the second canister came in handy.

This is a really great tool for small DIY projects where you don’t want to have brush strokes or pull out the large paint sprayer.

Get organized by creating shoe storage and bag storage anywhere in your home! I made a garage mudroom of sorts to keep all of the family’s athletic gear outside. This has been such a great organizational gamechanger for us! The wall mounted shoe cabinets are very narrow so they fit perfectly behind that door.

With just one quart of paint I did all three of these projects! A DIY headboard, a dresser, and a bathroom vanity!

I love that it is minimal prep work and requires no topcoat! It’s such a pretty blue green color, too.

Would you try this shade in your home?

Instant outdoor privacy that withstands the elements! These all-weather planters and artificial trees are zero maintenance. They are the best money we’ve spent, as they’ve allowed us to enjoy our decor without feeling like the neighbors were right there with us.

The best cleaning tool! I love this electric pressure washer! It is so easy to start, is compact but super powerful (2700 PSI), and a great price. It cleaned my filthy concrete patio without any cleaning solution, so imagine what it would look like if I filled the cleaning cannon that comes with it. Highly recommend!

So excited to freshen up the patio with new outdoor pillow covers. These are waterproof (and the inserts I used are water-resistant) and BEAUTIFUL! The quality is fantastic! Nice seams, straight lines/patterns at the edges….very impressed! They come in multiple colors so you’re sure to find a set that works for your outdoor furniture.

For instant outdoor privacy, you can’t beat this solution! These all-weather planters are the real deal. And the artificial trees held up over the harsh Wisconsin winter with zero issues!

I do recommend handing more weight to the base of the planters than I did. We found them ripping over in the wind because they were too top heavy. That’s why we added the hooks after the

My new favorite self-care and relaxation hack: paint by numbers kits! These mini paintings are SO cute! They come with everything you need: canvas, paints, paint brushes, and the beautiful gold frames. There are many images to pick from- not just the three I shared here.

These would be an awesome Mother’s Day gift or activity to do with your mom.

Also, super fun teenager activity.

Give your curb appeal a boost with an easy door update! A fresh coat of paint works wonders. I used my favorite one-step paint to paint this door a beautiful shade of blue, which contrasts so well with the yellow cottage siding. Adding a fresh doormat with a block print pattern and a pretty door hanger with yellow flowers made the door pop.

Spring cleaning at its finest- I am obsessed with my new carpet cleaner! It pulls up so much junk I can’t believe how filthy my rug was! This one has lots of attachments for stairs and upholstery, too, so it’s really versatile. I also like that it’s not too heavy. You don’t have to have pets to own this one- it works great anywhere! Great price point, too- especially when you consider the price of professional carpet cleaning.

Giving this small bathroom a spring refresh! In part 1 of this project I painted the bathroom vanity with my favorite one-step paint. No primer or topcoat needed! I also removed the medicine cabinet and painted the walls. I did a color drench technique to amp up the coziness in here. And then I hung a new wood frame mirror to add warmth. Come back for part 2!

I had the most amazing time visiting Pinterest’s office in Chicago for a creator connection event.

It was such an honor! A day I will never forget.

Of course I had to get a cute new dress. I love the pink color and embroidery.

I paired it with tan peep toe wedges. I think it would also look great with gold metallic sandals.

Cottage bathroom makeover! 🎉

It’s almost finished. ❤️

The walls and cabinet are Wedgwood Gray by Benjamin Moore. The vanity is Spruce by Heirloom Traditions (linked).

Accents like a wood vanity mirror and gold vanity light warm up the blue hues and chrome fixtures.

Also- notice the scallop trim on the cabinet? That was a super easy DIY!
