Week five of the One Room Challenge meant tile, baby, tile.
Decorating a Fall Mantel
This week, for the first time ever, I decorated a fall mantel. It was fun and easy, and I recommend giving it a try even if you’ve never done it before! Here’s my step-by-step guide on how to replicate this look, plus how to make cheap plastic fake pumpkins look a lot classier.
Overhauling the Most Embarrassing Area in My House
Do you have an area of your home that is so embarrassing that you don’t want anyone to see it? The most embarrassing area in my house is my basement, but I want to fix that!
How I Put Together An Inexpensive Mini Gallery Wall
Good news: I’ve made more progress on my breakfast nook makeover! Per my inspiration, I knew that I wanted a little gallery wall of three black-framed pieces.
