Once again, I’m condensing my hours of obsessive wishlisting home renovation materials into a single post in the hopes it can help another poor overthinking soul, but this time it’s affordable brass vanity lights. I’m going for a mixed metal kind of vibe in our bathroom makeover, and wanted a brass vanity light to give…

The best vintage brass kitchen hardware
As we were renovating our kitchen, I was probably the Amazon delivery guy’s least favorite person because I truly ordered like 10 packs of different vintage brass kitchen hardware styles before I landed on the ones we went with. The problem? I loved them all, and I liked the idea of having a mix of…
Bathroom makeover inspo
We’re back on our demolition bullshit again (not even a week after our massive kitchen renovation reveal), but this time we’re taking on a bathroom makeover. This bathroom is one of two in our house and really needs some love between the peeling plastic tile above the shower and the cracked floor tile. View…
DIY toddler house bed (with plans)
How necessary was us making this DIY toddler house bed? Well, we took our daughter’s mattress out of her crib one night to *just see* how she would do with her newfound freedom and it’s been eight months now of her sleeping on a mattress on the floor. But, better late than never, right? After…
Vintage outdoors nursery tour
Would you believe me if I said the very first thing I did in our new house – before we even officially moved in – was start putting together the baby’s vintage outdoors nursery? Well, it’s true. We moved into our new home when I was seven months pregnant and nesting was in full force…
Outdoors themed nursery gallery wall
Making a gallery wall is probably one of my favorite things, especially when you’re going for the organic mismatched kind of vibe where you can just have fun and don’t need to perfectly measure or line up your nail holes. When I was designing the nursery for Baby #2, I wanted this outdoors themed nursery…
The best accessories for your IKEA play kitchen
When I say I had no idea how into IKEA play kitchen accessories I would get, I’m not lying. GUYS, these tiny blenders, breads and berries are killing me and there’s a whole world of pretend kitchen stuff that I’m about to spend my life savings on because they’re tiny. What business does a baby…
The best kitchen decor finds for your open shelves
In our last home, we loved our open shelves and knew we wanted to add some to our new house. After building our DIY kitchen island, we got hyped by our progress and spontaneously took down a few upper cabinets by our kitchen window. We installed some open shelves, and then were met with the…
Where to find inexpensive rugs
Obviously there are a lot of things wrong with our society, but one of our most egregious faults is normalizing how expensive home decor is. It is normal, but not acceptable, that a single throw pillow could cost like $30 on the budget end. I don’t care how many influencers on Instagram tag Studio McGee…
How to make a modern wooden advent calendar
A modern DIY advent calendar hits different. Growing up, my parents always bought us advent calendars before Christmas. They were the cardboard ones with the chalky chocolate in them (you know the kind), but we went nuts for them. Especially when they got the ones that weren’t in order so you had to search for…
