    One Room Challenge – Warm, Cozy Dining Room Reveal

    This week we finished the One Room Challenge® for our warm and cozy dining room.  Who is ready for the reveal and some before and after photos?  I can’t believe we have already arrived at the end of this season’s One Room Challenge®.  I had such a fabulous time that I am already planning which room I will renovate for the spring event.  I also learned so much from the other designers and I really enjoyed following along with their renovations.     If you have followed along with me for the last 6 weeks, thank you so much!  If you are a new visitor, welcome and feel free to check out…

    Rustic Wooden Shelves Made from Upcycled Wood

      Aren’t these shelves just gorgeous?  They were so easy to make and they are very special to me because of the wood used, but they would be equally stunning with any type of old reclaimed wood.  In a moment, I will show you step-by-step how to make these shelves, but first a short story about the wood I used.  These gorgeous shelves were made from boards originally used by my Dad to frame his vegetable garden, and to make it even more special, the boards were made from a tree cut from my uncle’s farm.  After Dad passed away, I brought the wood home knowing that I would find…

    Jobs-For-Hire Board

    Command Center Jobs-For-Hire Board One of the things I knew from the beginning I wanted to add to my Command Center is a jobs-for-hire board.  When I received this beautiful barn door chalk/magnet/ cork board for Christmas, I knew I had found the home for my jobs-for-hire board. Job Descriptions The jobs I list on my Jobs-For-Hire board are usually quick jobs I could use some help with.  I list things like “Vacuum the stairs” or “Unload the dishwasher”.  Along with the jobs, I include how much you will be paid for the job and I attach the cash to the cork board behind the job posting.  This simple practice…

    Teen bathroom mason jar organizer with lighted arrow

    The above link helps our page as we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Keeping with her love of rustic and my love of practical, I attached mason jars to this cute little pre-lit rustic arrow I purchased at Hobby Lobby. This adorable and useful organize was quite simple to make.  To make your own you will need a wooden base, I used the pre-lit rustic arrow.  You will also need mason jars (I used 4 because that is how many I could fit onto my arrow).  You will also need plumbing clamps and screws and drywall anchors to secure the organizer to the wall.…

    Love Brings you Home

    I knew I wanted something over the door to the garage with some type of message reminding family they are loved each time they leave the house but I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted. I had in mind something that says to be safe, have fun, and come home, though much more elegantly worded. I found a set of adhesive wall letters which says, “Life takes you to unexpected places, Love brings you home”. This was the exact sentiment I was looking for, but I didn’t want to just put the letters onto the wall. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do until I ran across a…

#ad. We are so excited to have been gifted this vo #ad. We are so excited to have been gifted this voice enhancing sound bar from #soundbartvears. I have tried other sound bars but the way this one enhances the voices in amazing. Check out my story for a short clip from a tv show using TV Ears. The sound effects and music are so loud in this scene we had to play it multiple times before we made out all of the dialogue. With TV ears no one missed any of the conversation. This sound bar greatly exceeded our expectations. #soundbar #hometheater #theaterroom #basementmakeover #movienight #soundbars #voiceenhancing #whatdidhesayagain #justaddpopcornandnetflix #familymovienight🎬🍿 #loveourhome #beautifuldecorstyles
“Our new normal.” Like so many of you I am so “Our new normal.” Like so many of you I am so tired of hearing that phrase.  I just want our actual normal back. I want my son to be allowed to high-five his tennis doubles partner. I want my daughter’s gymnastics meets to allow spectators. And I want to hug my mom!  But one thing from this “no where close to normal” time that we are all living in I plan to keep is this #ad automatic soap:hand sanitizer dispenser gifted to me by @uniquetechus.  I installed it by the laundry room sink, which is right by the door our family uses most frequently. It has been great to be able to wash up just steps into the house. Even after the COVID protocols are a distant memory, this will be perfect for washing up coming in from the yard or garage. So while I’m so ready for all of the COVID requirements to go away, I will happily keep this touchless soap dispenser long term. As a New Year’s special, you can use the code 10Crystals for 10% off when you order from Amazon during January!  The link is in my bio. Thank you so much @uniquetechus. Now I just need a touchless faucet to go with it. #uniquetech #newnormal #newnormal2021 #touchlessdispenser #laundryroom #handsfree #laundrysink #bhghome #necessaryandbeautiful #functionaldecor #gifted #cleanhome #cleanhomehappyhome #cleanhomehappymom #currenthomeview #makemyhome #cleanhomeisahappyhome

Don’t you just love seeing a big package on your Don’t you just love seeing a big package on your front porch?  And it’s even better when that package is from @downlitebedding! 

I have searched for years for a pillow that lets me sleep comfortably through the night so when #downlitebedding offered me a couple of their pillows to try I jumped at the chance.  I have been using one of these pillows for a couple of weeks now and I couldn’t be happier!

Everyone in our family tried them out and we all love them.  My teenaged son, who generally isn’t picky about his pillow at all, asked if he could keep one because he liked it better than any pillow he had used before.

The pillows we were gifted are the Jumbo Moisture Wicking, but they also have lots of other wonderful items and you can use the code DYGEN15 to get 15% off everything at Downlite Bedding Company right now!
