What’s next on your project list? Spring is teas What’s next on your project list? Spring is teasing us so we’re starting on outdoor projects around here!
$100 play room makeover is DONE! This room has se $100 play room makeover is DONE! 
This room has seen so much change over the past year (swipe over to see it 2 weeks ago, 10 months ago and 1 year ago!). I took this last week to make over this space with mostly pieces we already had and I’m so so happy with the results! It’s a good reminder that some hard work, creativity and of course paint can work magic.
I’m sharing all the details (and that under stairs space!) on YouTube today (link in my stories!) and so is my friend @thediymommy (she made over her daughters bedroom for $100!).
Do you think dried grasses are only for fall decor Do you think dried grasses are only for fall decor? I used to think so, but these bunny tail grasses are too cute to put in a bin until next year. Plus the name sounds like spring decor to me ;) What do you think?

Ps. Today’s going to be a full day of playroom progress! I’ll share as much as I can in stories as I go :)
Paint is honestly magic.✨ I am so excited to sha Paint is honestly magic.✨
I am so excited to share this kitchen makeover with you guys! These are the same cabinets, just painted (countertops too!) And some updated finishes. I blogged the full before and after if you’d like to check it out!
Big thank you to @schaubhardware and @wagnerspraytech for partnering to make this space possible!
Ps. Most of the work done here was by the homeowners so if you’re thinking about taking on a makeover in your own home, maybe this is the encouragement you need 😘
As I’m sitting here staring at the dishes on the As I’m sitting here staring at the dishes on the counter while I try to focus on editing a video, I thought it’s as good of time as any to share this reminder 😘
I feel like I’ve lucked into the best job out th I feel like I’ve lucked into the best job out there, but then I’m also so aware of the amount of work it took to get here. Today I chatted with two of my blog friends in an Instagram live about DIY blogging as a job and answered some questions we get asked all the time about our work and the balance of it all! I saved it as an IGTV so you can watch it if you missed 🥰

Big thanks to @love_create_celebrate and @thediymommy for chatting with me today! One of the biggest perks of this job is all the talented ladies I’ve had the privilege of meeting and calling friends- these two are top of that list!
I’m having some fun in stories with a little giv I’m having some fun in stories with a little giveaway guessing game. I’d love if you played along!

I put up a question box and you can guess my next room makeover and the guesses are all over the place. Some are projects on my dream list, some are rooms I wish to even have in my house and some are spaces we’ve already tackled! Like our main bathroom ✨ these photos are from my spring home tour I shared over on the blog earlier this week. Hung up a pennant and called it decked for spring 🐣
Who is ready for spring?! I know we totally are- w Who is ready for spring?!
I know we totally are- we’ve been soaking up outside time this week with the kids home on spring break but over on the blog... it’s spring home tour time! I am sharing my home all ready for spring along with some amazing bloggers as part of the #seasonalsimplicity spring series!
You know I love a touch of DIY decor in every spac You know I love a touch of DIY decor in every space in my home, so I’m so excited to be partnering with @HGTVCanada to celebrate #$aveMyReno being back TONIGHT! #partner
 
My favourite thing about $ave My Reno is that they encourage home owners to get involved and DIY to maximize budget. They even help kids get involved- it’s everything Shane and I work towards in our own projects. You can catch it every Tuesday at 9/9:30PM EP on @HGTVCanada or catch up on episodes on STACKTV through @primevideoca!
 
PS. I made those tie dye pillows, similar to the ones featured in tonight’s episode! You can catch my stories to see the super speedy how-to :)
