Back in 2020 my dad and I designed this built-in library shelving for my dining room. The budget was to tight for custom cabinetry, so we figured out a way to build the idea I had in my head using Ikea and a whole lot of trim. Over the years I’ve referenced this project a lot in my DIY consultations and have had a few people tag me in their own versions (so cool!). I always wished I had written an explanation with visuals so I’m finally doing it. Keep in mind, this was close to 4 years ago, so...

Kitchen | One Room Challenge :: Week 4
Sooo, Week 4… we were warned by the One Room Challenge organizers that this is where things get hard. This week I’ve swung between panic that we won’t get done, and feeling like we’re ahead of the game. Likely, we’re somewhere in the middle but the home stretch is around the corner! Here are a bunch
Kitchen | One Room Challenge :: Week 3
Hi friends! Ok, it was a big week here at the Plumb Mid Mod for our One Room Challenge and there are actual finished materials going in! If I squint my eyes past the mess I can almost visualize a finished kitchen. Hurray, this may actually happen! Hi! If you’re new here, I’m Rebecca, a
Kitchen | One Room Challenge :: Week 2
Welp, this last week had its share of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly for our One Room Challenge. We’ve been tearing it all down before it can be built back up, but it definitely got worse before it can get better. If you’re new to the project, you can see where we started

Client Reveal: Gaucho Greatroom
I’m dusting off the old blog to finally share the Greatroom reveal from earlier in the summer! The clients are outgoing and super fun people, and now that their two kids are no longer babies, it was time for their home to grow up with them. Before The downstairs is an open floorplan with the

A year ago today I stepped into the unknown. With that step I made a commitment to dig deep to understand myself, and be my own friend. This year has involved wading through fear and strong waves of grief, but I’ve learned to let them wash over me and not fight against them. I’ve learned
Dinkey Forever
Camping seems like such a pain. You spend days packing everything you might need so you can have the comforts of home while sleeping in the dirt. It really doesn’t make sense and sometimes I wonder what the point of it is, since our ancestors couldn’t even dream of wall-to-wall carpeting and central heat and
Client Reveal: Boho Angels Playroom
So many of my clients have small kids and we’re always working together to curb their stuff. What I love about this project is that instead of banishing their daughters’ toys into a hidden corner, they converted their dining room into the playroom and made it a star attraction. Before The clients came to me looking for
