Several years ago, I hung peel-and-stick wallpaper in my (still unfinished) closet thinking it would be the easiest kind of wallpaper to install. Boy, was I wrong! Although I wouldn’t go so far as to say any wallpaper is “easy” to hang, the experience between hanging paste-the-wall vs. peel-and-stick is worlds apart.

Beadboard is an easy and cost-effective way to add texture and character to any room. In this post, I’m sharing all the details of how I hung the beadboard in our half-bathroom, including the mistakes I made so you know what NOT to do!

It’s week 4 of the One Room Challenge, and we’re officially halfway there! This week was all about tiling the floors in the half-bathroom. I took a stab at installing penny tile, and I’m in love with how it turned out.

It definitely wasn’t my intention to take the summer off of blogging, but the office renovation needed as much attention as it could get - so that’s where I’ve been just about every day. While I’m not officially ready to reveal any of the rooms, you’ll get plenty of updates and sneak peeks in this post. Keep scrolling!

Recently I’ve been busy sharing the designs for most of the spaces in our office building, like the lobby and reception area, the kitchenette and conference room, and the agent office. Today I’m wrapping up this series with the bathroom, loft, and remaining spaces.

I’ve shared the designs for the lobby and reception area, as well as the conference room and kitchenette in the office building we’ve been renovating. Let’s keep that trend going. Today, I’m sharing the design for the agent office!

Last week I shared that drywall is finally being installed at the office! And as exciting as that is, I’m even more excited for what’s to come. I’ve been working hard behind the scenes on the design of this building. Today we’re diving into the conference room!

It’s hard to believe, but the last post I wrote about our new office building was four months ago! In that post, I shared the design for the lobby and reception area. In real life, we were deep in the demo phase. We’ve made a lot of progress since then, so in this post, I’m sharing what the building looks like today!

We’re already about five weeks into having possession of Charlie Foursquare and are moving full steam ahead! So, I figured now would be a good time to share what needs to happen to prepare this property for the next steps.

If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that we recently purchased a dilapidated hair salon that we’re renovating into an office space. While that property is still very much a work in progress, we like to keep ourselves on our toes - so we added another one to the mix!

When I finished up the 2022 fall One Room Challenge (ORC) a few months ago I mentioned that there were a couple of outstanding items I didn't get to before it ended. One of those items was building doors for the cabinet above the washer and dryer. Well, I'm excited to say that they're now complete!

Everyone has been bothered by the occasional gnat flying around their face. But if you have houseplants, that little gnat could actually be a big problem. In this post, I’m breaking down how I eliminated my fungus gnat infestation, and how to prevent it from happening again in the future.

Last week I shared that we bought a new building that will be used as my husband’s real estate brokerage - and it needs a LOT of work. Today I'm sharing the design of the first room we'll be tackling: the lobby and reception area!

Yes, folks, you read that right. We bought a hair salon! Are we getting into the hair styling business? Nope! Let me give you the skinny.

When you’re always working on a home project, sometimes it feels like you never actually accomplished anything. That’s why I like to pause at the beginning of each year and reflect on the projects we tackled the previous year to get some perspective. This is that post!

Last week I shared the reveal of our loft kitchenette - but how the heck did we hang shelves on the brick veneer? While hanging shelves on any sort of tile is terrifying - it’s totally doable! In this post, I’ll teach you the step-by-step process of how to hang shelves on a tile backsplash.

Before I created an entirely new laundry room for the One Room Challenge, my focus was finishing up projects around the house. One of those projects was the outstanding items in the loft. And while I’ve looped back around to working on it, I’m not ready to call the whole loft complete just yet. But I am excited to say that the kitchenette is finished!
