SPRUCE MY SPACE: The Empty Walls

Every week I mock up how I’d design rooms you submit and this living room has so much potential. The biggest issue with this space is that the empty walls are making it feel cold and uninviting. The first thing I’d do is add picture molding or some sort of wall treatment to the back wall, this will give the wall some more visual interest without overwhelming the space. I always recommend adding window trim and curtains to elevate your windows. Next we need to address the weird 90s fireplace… so many people struggle with the weird niches and chunky trim! I would remove/cover the fireplace so you have a blank slate, move the mantel up higher and paint with an accent color. If you’re able to get new furniture, I would recommend something softer and lighter so it’s not such a stark contrast. With a few simple changes, you can totally transform this room!

What do you think?! What would you add or change?

SPRUCE MY SPACE: The Outdated Laundry Room

Every week I mock up how I’d design rooms you submit and this laundry room has so much potential. The biggest issue is the pinch point between the washer/dryer and the cabinet under the window. Removing that cabinet would open things up, and you can add a washer/dryer topper to keep the counter space. With the dark floors, I’d lean into a moody paint color with wood accents, plus update the light fixture and vanity top to modernize the space. A few simple changes can totally transform this room on a budget!

SPRUCE MY SPACE: The Small Living Room

Every week I mock up how I’d design rooms you submit and this living room has so much potential. The biggest issue is the heavy sofa and light green wall color that make the room feel divided. Painting everything light and bright and swapping the couch for something lighter instantly makes the room feel so much bigger. Adding moody accents with the chair, rug, and curtains brings warmth and coziness to the space. We kept the same TV cabinet and wall decor, it was just a that totally transformed this room!

SPRUCE MY SPACE: The Moody Basement

Every week I mock up how I’d design rooms you submit and this laundry room has so much potential. The biggest with this space is that it’s just lacking the character and warmth that makes the space feel inviting. The first thing I’d do is paint with a moody color and add more wood elements to tie together the whole space. To me, the TV feels too high and looks out of place. I’d swap for a frame TV and also add some built in cabinets to visually balance out the large sectional. With a few simple changes, you can totally transform this room on a budget!

House Things That No One Teaches You: DAY 3 of 5! ✨ THE STUCK DOOR

Our pantry door gets stuck on the floor every time I try to open it and it’s been driving me insane for like two years. I had a genius idea… 💡 What if I put a piece of sandpaper under the door and rub it against to sand it down?! IT WORKED!! 👏🏼

what else do you guys wanna learn how to fix?

This travel iron steamer is a literal game changer 🤯 no ironing board needed and it has customized fabric settings!

NEW SERIES!! House Things That No One Teaches You: DAY 1 of 5! ✨ WALL REPAIR

I’m not really sure what happened to this wall… but it looks like it got attacked by a bear. I’m using this multipurpose putty to repair the damage and scratches. I like it better than spackling because it has a hardener that makes it more durable. This will prevent damage in the future. Very easy to apply and then once it dries, you sand and paint! It’s a 30 minute project and makes a huge difference!!

These suction hooks are super easy to install and stick to any smooth surface super well 👏🏼

DAY 4: House Problems No One Talks About ✨ Cracked Shower Grout 🫠

5 days to complete 5 things around my house that I’ve been putting off that are driving me absolutely insane. I’ve been dreading these things for months, so we’re gonna time how long it actually takes me to finish each one.

We hired a contractor to renovate our master bathroom a few months ago and it’s been an absolute nightmare. Everything is falling apart and he’s ghosting us and won’t take accountability… So apparently if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. The bench that he installed is starting to come apart and a lot of the grout is cracking so I’m going to teach you how you can easily repair it with some sealant to avoid water damage.
