Justin and I got this outdoor wood furniture set as a hand me down about a year ago, just in time for Mason's 3rd birthday party. It has been my idea ever since we got it to refinish it and give it a new life.

I finally got around to tackling this project this past weekend. It ended up taking me 3 days to complete. I ... Read more...
Fashion DIY: Tie Dye Workout Set
I can't believe I waited so long into shelter in place to tie dye something. I did already bleach dye a t-shirt and shared the process on my Tiktok as well as wore the graphic tee in this post to show 5 ways to wear and style for different occasions.

Outdoor DIY Wood Pergola
With more time at home (like all the time in the world right now) and gearing up for warm summer weather, Justin and I have shifted our focus on home improvements in our free time. We've already worked on organizing our home, and it feels so good to have a place for everything. Our DIY wood pergola project was prompted by a nasty storm that destroyed our pergola cover, ripping it to shreds and throwing it all over our backyard. This is a project we have been wanting to do for a long time but it just wasn't high on the priority list ... Read more...
