Easy Hack for Outdoor Privacy Wall Part 1

After redoing my grandparent’s deck I swore I would never do a deck remodel again. But I also said I would never buy a Cape Cod style home...well here we are and this deck needs a makeover. Before I could turn this deck into the modern oasis I’ve always wanted, there was a lot of demo work that had to get done. So in the first part of this project you’ll see how I removed the outdated and worn out parts of the deck and refinished what I could to get the modern look I wanted.

Dream Home Office – Part 2

In my last blog post I started the makeover for my attic home office by taking down a half wall, putting in new flooring, painting the walls and upgrading the lighting to smart lighting. But there was still so much to do. My friend Charlotte from @atcharlotteshouse came to help me finish this project and another awesome friend swooped in at the last moment too. In this part of the project we added a wallpaper accent wall, paneled a secret wall and added beams to the ceiling. Keep reading to see how we turned this attic into my dream home office!

You can actually see how I refinished the basement in this blog post I wrote about it. But it was finally time to move our home gym out of the spare bedroom it was occupying. And because the basement was waiting for something more interesting, the gym was headed downstairs. Of course this included the giant entertainment system that my husband uses to train and the logistics to make that work. So to start off this big home gym relocation project I built a floating shelf cabinet system to house our massive TV and so I can easily clean under it. This is the start of quite the adventure friends!
