Faux Wood Tiles: Phase 1 complete.

I'm still not entirely sure what I got myself into when I decided to use plywood patterned floor tutorial on my home office wall, but there is no going back now!

It took 2 weeks for me to cut and nail the tiles to the wall. As usual, I underestimated the work but dang she looks good! And so far it seems to be highly forgiving of my mistakes. Next up:

- spray painting the space between the tiles gold 🖌️
- sanding the wall 😑
- painting the final color 🥰

Well hello there 👋🏿.

There are some new faces hanging around this place and I thought we should get to know each other.

My name is Jennifer and I'm an ER nurse with an addiction to DIY. Except I have a bad habit of only finishing 95% of them. There isn't anything I'm not willing to try at least once and show you while I do it. I take on purposeful DIY projects, but make it pretty. Plus we are bougie on budget over here.

5 facts about me:

1. I can't whistle to save my life. Never have.
2. I'm fluent in Spanish but haven't taught it to my kids. Don't come for me.
3. I have a gap in my front teeth. I used to be super self conscious about it. But recently a coworker told me that in Africa, this is a sign of beauty and fertility!
4. I love playing dominoes and spades. I haven't played either in a while but I'm pretty good at them.
5. I've moved 8 times in my life. With another move coming. Hoping the one after that is my last. 10th time is the charm right.

Tell me a little something about yourself in the comments 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿

My thoughts as I'm hanging these shelf brackets:

Did I wash my scrubs for tomorrow? Is the pasta behind me boiling over? What time is it even?
What are my kids doing? Did I drink any water today? I can't forget to pay my internet bill. Should I wait to buy new plates? Is black cabinets with black countertops too much?

Anyone else have trouble shutting off their mind even mid project? No? Just me? OK fine, be that way. 🤣🤣

It's OK to change your mind

Did you know that this was my 3rd attempt at create a coffee station of some sort?

My coffee supplies first lived in my kitchen, then I attempted a coffee station in my living room. But that turned out to be too much space and too far from the kitchen to truly serve its purpose. That's how I ended up with my 3rd (and final) coffee station/wall just outside my kitchen. Swipe to see the evolution.

It's OK to change your mind. To update your style. To repaint. To undo. To remove. To make mistakes
To rebuild. That's how we grow ❤️

Leave a comment with something you wish you knew earlier in your DIY journey. No matter how small, silly, or insignificant you think it is! Let's grow together.

For 4 years, I never understood the difference between a drill and impact driver. But once I borrowed my dad's impact driver there was no going back and now my impact driver is one of my most essential tools.

Let me know in the comments if you you have an impact driver or not. If you do, let everyone know how you use it 👇🏿

Checking for square, without a square! Swipe to learn about the 3-4-5 math-less method.

I'm building a storage cabinet with drawers this week, and for drawers to function correctly, my piece needs to be square. Except my speed square was in my basement and after 5000 trips up and down the stairs I didn't want another. So i was able to use the 3-4-5 method in a pinch.

After you read about, give it a try and let me know in the comments if it worked for you!

DIY Bed Canopy :early Christmas gift for the little one. She's at a play date now, you think she'll like it when she gets home?

For a few months, my 8 year old has been asking me for a canopy with lighting for her bed. I had bought her a cheap canopy last year that our cats tore to shreds 😕.

I browsed Amazon, but anything that matched the vision in my head and that wasn't made of the same fabric our cats destroyed was well over $50.

So $10 in sheer curtains and $10 in LED fairy lights + supplies from my hoarder stash ( ceiling curtain rod holders and 2 ft of a wooden dowel) later I think I can claim success!

To get the cheap curtains to sit on both sides, I cut slits on the top few inches to make tabs. I alternated a tab from each curtain when I fed it through the dowel rod. No need to be neat since it all ruched at the top!

You think she'll like it?
