One of my most pinned projects is the tension rod trick I used in my kitchen to hang things above the sink - it’s a great way to keep things off the counter. Another thing I did that totally upgraded my kitchen is to add under-cabinet lighting - it’s so much nicer to cook with good task lighting! The one drawback is that I used 2 different light kits - the one above the sink wasn’t as...

Being stuck at home these days has made me get creative with what I have on hand. As I was looking through all of my left over materials from previous projects to see what I could make my mom for Mother's Day, I came across 4" embroidery hoops, and test tubes.

Loving to cook and having a tiny kitchen can sometimes seem like 2 things that don't go together, but there's ways to make every single cubic inch of that small kitchen work harder for you. Here's the perfect example - my friend and her boyfriend love to cook and they have an aromatic olive oil collection that rivals most gourmet food stores or restaurants.

After giving my bedroom a makeover, I got this crazy idea to make a black feature wall – problem is that I’m a renter and I’m not supposed to paint my walls, or if I do paint, then I need to put it back to white before I move out. I didn’t want to have to repaint so I got
If you've been following along, you know that I've taken on my biggest DIY project to date: building a Murphy bed for a 200 ft2 studio apartment makeover. I've shared the process in several posts and also made this video of the entire build, but I thought you might enjoy reading about the highlights of what is was like to build this project without a workshop, and how I pimped up the inside with...
