Wanted to show you something that brings me joy 💌

Weekend update to the master bathroom! The last bathroom to get a facelift and finally got to do a feature wall. I love it so much I almost decided to hang the mirror and earring frame on another wall.

It’s amazing how much joy this dresser brings me. After living in our home for two years with a dresser and chest of drawers that were hand-me-downs, we finally decided to make our dresser dreams come true. This guy is massive but fits in the space perfect. Meticulous measurements, and cuts, made this come to life. Build by hand (with lots of help from my FIL).

From Facebook swap shop to family dinners 🖤

It’s definitely been a while since we have shared anything - life is happening! We are still hustling, creating and restoring, even if we don’t post about it. That’s why I love this gig. It gives us the freedom to create but also the ability to take a break when we need to.

If you know us, you know how crazy our lives and schedules are. Some days it’s hard to get the things we HAVE to done, let alone the things we WANT to. So, we wanted to say thank you for supporting us when we are in full creativity mode, AND when our projects take a back burner.

Ready for this cold to leave, but glad to have the best sweatshirt to keep me warm-ish 🥶

We have gotten so many compliments on these Excelsior Springs sweatshirts. Comfort Colors is truly the best & get better with every wash.

We have a few adult sizes small through XXL. Message us to get yours!

This space 😍

It has come a long way in the past month(s). I feel so grown up with a real office/craft area!

Our basement is unfinished, but after organizing (& re-organizing) the storage area, labeling, and then re-organizing AGAIN.. for a room that only I see 😂 I feel content with the functionality of it.

I feel the same about my office. So much function. So much pretty.

Check out the stories to see where my craft space started out! And how disastrous the storage room was 🤦🏼‍♀️

It’s a process

Swipe to see the stages of this dresser makeover! You guys asked to see more furniture flips, so here is one that took me a little out of my comfort zone. Learning new techniques & creating personalized pieces is what’s makes this gig so cool! This dresser & shelves are going to look so cute in this customer’s nursery!

It only took me a year and two months (almost to the day), two trash bags full of flowers in our house for that long, and plenty of threats to the kids to not crunch them in the basement - but - I made a shadow box with our wedding flowers!! 💐💐

I’ve had a vision for these for a long time, and I’m so happy with how they turned out! I used the same font from our “Welcome” sign and hot glued the arrangement how I wanted! I couldn’t let ~$2,000 worth of flowers be thrown away and not displayed! 😅
