Since we’ve been working on our master bedroom lately, I thought it would be fun to share another take on a master bedroom… Our Lake Life’s cozy eclectic master bedroom. First of all meet Maria. She is the New Jersey career woman/mom/wife/blogger behind Our Lake Life. This is the view from her house…if you can believe [...]
We made a quick switcheroo with the knobs on our Ikea Hemnes nightstands. They went from this… To this… UPDATE: Sorry! I totally forgot to share where I bought the knobs! They’re from this etsy shop. They’re nice and thick and chunky. Not dainty in any way. Which is good because I do share this [...]
You’ve all seen our big comfy couch, yes? And we’ve mentioned that it has a double pull out bed in it too, yes? Which makes it QUITE HEAVY. Well, can you imagine it being carried into the house (in two pieces) by two guys, around corners and all? Now picture the ceiling light fixture inside [...]
Have you ever seen a photo of a perfect-for-you room somewhere online? Have you ever then spent an inordinate amount of time dreaming about said room? Wondering how you could make it your own? Recreate it – or parts of it – in your own home? Photo by House Beautiful via Wallpap’ress That was what [...]
Have we mentioned that we’ve had to do some shuffling to our oh-so-pretty master bedroom? Sad, but true. In order to make room for our still-under-construction pantry, we had to rebuild ourselves a closet opposite the bed. Not pretty at the moment. (If that’s confusing have a look at this post with our floor plan. [...]
I’m usually a pretty good “doer”. I mean, I don’t sit around idly dreaming of how nice our house could be “if only”. I get to work (usually with the Mr.) and just do it. But I must admit, I’ve pinned a lot of stuff I haven’t yet had time to tackle. Cue Sherry and Katie’s Pinterest Challenge [...]
Have we mentioned that we have a crawlspace? Well, we do. And with that crawlspace comes a crawlspace door. Er, more like a trap door. Effectively a piece of plywood set into the floor. Not very attractive. We tried to cover it up with a rug…only to wash and dry said rug…until it shrunk too much [...]
This is an Ikea hack of sorts. I love Ikea for it’s simple linens. And these Ikea Marit placemats were just screaming for some embellishment. No, not like with glitter and jewels. But just a little something-something, you know? So, as I’m working on Spring Decor (the mantle is going to be great!), a mini [...]
There are so many elements that make up a beautiful and cozy room; a comfortable chair, a warm rug, a soft throw blanket. And good lighting. Sometimes you want task specific lighting like you’d need for reading that incredible novel. Sometimes you desperately need a bright light to find something under the couch cushions. But [...]
Each Friday we will be posting about five things we’ve loved in the past week. It may be a post we’ve read, a project we’ve found, maybe some etsy finds. It will probably include something family/kid related. Because really, that’s what matters most. But don’t worry dear DIYer, this here blog is still all about our [...]
