If I see a dough bowl at a thrift store I buy it immediately because they make for awesome #homedecor fillers. Think coffee tables, kitchens, dining tables, side boards… one of my favorite decor pieces! I think it’s silly this #DIY went viral four years ago but it’s definitely one I know anyone can do! #budgetfriendly #homedesign #homeideas

I am a big fan of what I like to call “Lunch Time DIYs” aka projects I can easily accomplish quickly. My schedule does not allow me to do large scale projects anymore. I am fitting in small #homeimprovement projects with a little bit of time. This is one of my favorites! 1. It’s low effort since Smart Tiles makes it really easy to line up and adjust. Very beginner friendly #peelandsticktile 2. Anyone can do this because yes it is a #renterfriendly #DIY Let me know if you want to see more “Lunch Time DIYs” I am thinking about bringing this series back! #homedecor #homeideas #bathroomideas #bathroomremodel

Another day… another cleaning product to see if I can get the stains out of this shower. If your new here this has been an on going saga for 3 years! I welcome anyone in the comments who has a suggestion of a product for me to try… Things we have tried: Pink Stuff Barskeeper Toilet Bowel Cleaner Bleach Homemade concoctions people have suggested Comet and probably missing a few more It’s been a good try but I think we need to accept that it is just going to be like this until I can replace it. #shower #cleaning #cleaningtips #homeideas

You might remember when I painted my bathroom cabinets with “sketchy” paint from Amazon. I did this as a test since I get a lot of questions about painting cabinets. I wanted to find a #budgetfriendly and easy #DIY paint so I randomly bought this. I am not disappointed with it!! It’s actually held up shockingly well. A few chips is to be expected especially since I didn’t seal it. I will go ahead and recommend this Dwil paint… it does come in a lot of different colors! #homedecor #homeideas #homeimprovement

I don’t just decorate my house with elements of #southwestdecor for fun… I have always believed #homedecor should represent your outside environment! My house would feel very out of place if I tried to decorate it more traditionally. I LOVE seeing the modern Victorian styles currently trending, but I know I can’t pull that off in my stucco adobe style house. I know my style isn’t trendy right now, but it fits my environment. Sometimes we have to think about where we live not what is “trendy”. Love you all so much for supporting my journey of decorating my Arizona home! #DIY #homedesign #homeideas #arizonaliving

Guess what!? My brain decided to show up today and I finished the pantry #peelandstickwallpaper project! One thing you will find consistently in all my #homedecor projects is ✨personality✨ thanks to wallpaper! I love the fact that I brought personality to my awkward corner pantry in this space. This is the same wallpaper I used in the dining room. It’s a #budgetfriendly #renterfriendly fabric woven wallpaper that does well on my textured walls. #homedesign #eclecticdecor #kitcheninspiration #homeideas

A lot of people didn’t think this would last in Arizona because I bought something cheap. Just because I do #budgetfriendly #homedecor doesn’t mean my stuff doesn’t last or looks bad! I tell you when something doesn’t work! This cheap (in the #outdoorfurniture world) #patio setup I did has been great! #summertime #patiodecor #homeideas #patiotime

I do no major house #cleaning on the weekends because a few months ago I made Friday my “reset” day. It has been really good for me and the family to go into the weekends knowing we can focus on the things we enjoy on the weekend vs the house chores. I always see people talk about the Sunday “reset” being amazing but I think the Friday “reset” is better! What are your thoughts on making Friday your deep cleaning day? #homeideas #homedecor #cleanwithme

Let me start by saying… I am not going anywhere!! I am evolving my content to fit my lifestyle. This allows me to show up here more consistently, give you the opportunity to get to know me better, use my knowledge in more helpful small DIY projects that are approachable, and focus on honest product reviews. I am not saying we won’t do #homedecor and mini refreshes… but the entire room makeovers series need a break! I want to enjoy my home that is in a really good place and enhance the experience!! I am excited for this new chapter and hope you will enjoy coming along with me on it! Also… I am still going to be doing #renterfriendly products reviews!! I actually find a ton of joy in doing those product reviews + tests! It’s just an opportunity to open up and give more #homeideas that aren’t tied to redoing a room!!
