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...

The Kitchen –BEFORE–
Oh… the kitchen. I’ve literally been writing this post for a month because the whole project is a point of frustration for me, but since its Thanksgiving week and everyone is spending a lot of time cooking, I thought it was appropos to finally finish it. I’m also hoping this motivates me to start putting
Master Bath –BEFORE–
Meet our master bathroom before its big makeover! This is the only room that made me second guess the house. It was a deal breaker, and unless we could afford to remodel it, there was no way it would work for us. We were very, very lucky to make it all work the way I
Part 2: My So-Called Crisis
Hi guys, I am a little overwhelmed at the outpouring of support for my post but so, so grateful for it. I am feeling the love, so thank you, its the most beautiful thing about social media. To be clear, I am not a ‘success story’ and I don’t expect I’ll just live happily-ever-after. But

Cecily’s Birth Story
We spent the last 12 weeks of the pregnancy taking classes in the Bradley Method of natural childbirth. Its based on going into labor with a strong education of the birth process to be your own advocate to prevent unnecessary medical interventions. It teaches the husbands to be strong coaches and we practiced many relaxation techniques for pain management.
Scheming: Curb Appeal
Thank you for the well-wishes and thoughts on going back to work back last week. Its a lot to get used to and a lot of bags I’m schlepping to/fro but we did great and no major fallouts so far (we’re still sleeping, yay!). :* One of my favorite things to say is “I have an
Book Report-2014
I come from a family of readers. I’ve read myself to sleep every night for as long as I can remember. I prefer reading fiction and, its my cozy ritual of escape from the stresses of today and before I worry about tomorrow’s to do list. The more I have going on, the more I
