Recent Post Captions:I get asked a lot how these frames are hung up in our bedroom and I wrote about it on the blog! How I hung these and all my art on picture rail molding, as well as why you might want picture rail moulding in the first place. If you are wondering about the bird art, they are free downloads and you can find the link to those in the blog post too! #cljsquad #diyart #gallerywall
Lately I’ve been finding some fabulous finds on FBMP and I’ve had people tell me I am “lucky”. But the truth is there are tricks and methods I use to find the good stuff and I wrote a blog post all about it (link in bio)! It’s out there, and I’m going to help you find it! Check out my recent reel to see some of my finds for the cabin, furnishing that through antique, vintage and secondhand has allowed my budget to go further and the charm factor to be higher 😁 What’s the best thing you’ve found lately? #facebookmarketplacefinds #homedecorideas #homedecortips
If you have been following along with our cabin renovation journey, you know I have been collecting pieces for this room for months. I really wanted this room to feel collected and not too new. Designing that way definitely takes more time and patience but seeing it all come together this week…. 🥹 I did get a couple of new things for this room though, the striped sofa and Loloi Rugs gifted me the most perfect rug. I have been eying up this rug for years and it did not disappoint 😍. If you like what you see, you can shop this post through my LTK (link in bio)👆 #cljxloloi #theloloilook #collectedhome #livingroomdesign
At the last minute, I decided my new mudroom bench needed a little something extra — some cute corner corbels (or brackets)! With no time to order any, I figured, why not make them myself? Check out how I made my own DIY corbels from MDF plywood on the blog! #mudroom #diyideas
Ever wish your TV didn’t stick out so much in your beautifully decorated space? I’ve got a quick fix for you—hang a rug over it! It’s such an easy DIY (less than an hour!) and makes a huge difference in how your room feels. You still get to enjoy your TV when you want it, but it blends right in when you don’t. #easydiy #diydecor
✨Flooring Reveal!✨ Years ago, we installed flooring from Costco in a previous house and were so impressed — it was easy to install, amazing quality, and held up perfectly over the years. For the cabin, we wanted something durable and waterproof, so LVP was an easy choice. Once I decided on that, I checked to see if the same brand was still at Costco — and sure enough, Golden Select still supplies their flooring there! Going with them again was a no-brainer! Now let’s talk about the colour. I wanted something that complemented the existing pine ceiling without being too matchy-matchy, and this one is perfect. It’s called Vintage Oak, and you can find it (and other shades) at Costco! I can not believe the difference the flooring made in here! What do you think of the colour? #LVPflooring #beforeandafter #diyrenovation #diyflooring
I’ve seen all kinds of DIY arched openings and usually they involve some precise cutting of circles and drywall magic. I found these pre-made drywall arches that come in all sizes to accommodate all shapes of openings and curves and are made to fit 2x6” or 2x4” framing. No need to try to nicely finish off a curved piece of drywall! Something tells me I’m onto something good!! Have you seen these before? We opted to create little “corbels” out of these arches using additional framing but they are made to easily blend in with drywall if you want a smooth curve. Full details of the way we created our arch including all the dimensions are on the blog (link in bio)! #diybathroom #diymagazine #diyprojectideas #homediy
We saved so much money doing this ourselves! This was our first time DIY’ing self levelling concrete and I was so nervous that we were going to mess this up. It really was not that difficult and I’m so excited to have flat and level floors now! These are some of the things we learned along the way, I intend to write a more in depth blog post with all of these tips. If your floors are wonky, you don’t have to live like that 😊 #floorleveling #selflevelingfloor #selfleveling #diytips
My daughter asked if we could make something for Halloween and that’s always going to be a yes from me. She has been very busy with midterms at college and one night we were working on this together she literally said, “I needed this.” We ordered a “giant spider” online and he was seriously underwhelming. We had ordered a new sofa lately that came wrapped in all this plastic so we decided to try and beef him up using that. I used a grey faux fur blanket that we cut up for the body and attached it with hot glue! It was simple and fun! You can find all the supplies we used to make him on the blog! What do you think, is it too scary for the neighborhood kiddos or just the right amount of scary? #halloweendiy #halloweendecor #diyspider
These are some of my favourite home hacks! You can find them in my Amazon shop if you're interested in trying any of them out : ) #amazonfinds #amazonhome #homehacks
Do you think this will work? We are pouring the leveller this weekend so stay tuned. We have never done that before but how hard can it be? #demo #flooring #diygonewrong
Thanks so much to my mom for tackling that difficult cushion, she is amazing isn’t she? Also thanks to Tonic Living who gave me this fabric when they heard about the project, thank goodness they still carried it! I found the original chair in a thrift store in 2019 and refinished it. It’s been one of my favorite thrift finds ever with the cool slat back. When the exact same chair popped up on Facebook Marketplace 5 years later, well, there was only one thing I could do. Would you ever try a project like this? I’m about to tackle a much bigger upholstery project and I’ll take you along for it, it’s definitely going to test my skills! 🤞 #upholstery #furniturerefinishing #furniturerestoration
It’s been 2 years since we moved in and we’ve tackled the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, main bedroom, guest room, dining room and main living space! We are working to make this 90’s home more “us”, one room at a time. More spaces to come, stay tuned! #diyrenovation #renovationproject #ikeakitchen #girlswhodiy
