Today, it felt super appropriate to replicate the photo that quickly became my most loved project of 2020... it also happens to be my MOST PROUD DIY moment of the year.

And in 2021 I promise to take everything I have learned about power tools and teach you how to use them too! As I “sign off” for this year I want to say thank you. Thank you, friends for coming along side me this year as I learned, failed, AND succeeded! Your support has truly meant the world to me! Merry Christmas, friends!! I may pop into stories for a few brief moments over the next few weeks but if not I will DEFINITELY see you on January 4! #livingroomdecor #livingroomdesign #doityourself #doitherself #swcolorlove #womenwhobuild #womenwithpowertools #girlswhobuild #girlswithpowertools #diyblogger

Ten years ago this sweet girl made me a mama. It feels like time has gone so fast and taken forever at the same time. She’s my mini-me (literally), a little mama to her brothers and an excellent gymnast. Her tenacity and drive will take her far. I’m so proud. Also, can’t believe that she looks like she’s 15 in this photo 😭 #momlife #oldersister #allbrothers #unicornbirthday #doubledigits

What is your favorite kind of project? I’m a sucker for wallpaper and a good furniture restoration! So how about both! The thrifted dresser in our master bedroom was looking pretty grungy with all of the new decor that came in this week so I freshened up the white paint and sprayed the knobs black. For an extra touch I added leftover peel and stick wallpaper to the drawer bottoms. The total cost of this quick makeover?? ZERO DOLLARS! Fresh on the blog this week I rounded up 11+ unique and affordable ways to use wallpaper in the home. Plus all of the prints I’m currently loving!
