DIY Storage/Entertainment Center

This was such a fun project!! I had this idea in my head of what I wanted for playroom storage and a little entertainment center. After shopping around, looking at cube storage and different shelving ideas...

Usually I drag these "how to" posts on and on... so I'll do my best to keep this short!

A couple gallons of white paint has literally transformed the entire look and feel of our upstairs! Here's a quick break down of  HOW I DID IT: I started with the trim and door frames, then I painted...

October Living

Fall. A breath of cool, fresh air. Beautiful bright red trees. All things pumpkin and apple crisp. Coffee and blankets. SIGH. Now that I have you fooled into thinking my fall is relaxing, beautiful and calm... let me dive into our present day life! It consists of this: A 1 year old who never, ever, ever sits still (unless Sesame St. is on), a husband who is always eager to get...
