POV: your kid is obsessed with cooking shows and absolutely humbles you in the kitchen… I am not the best cook. I learned how to cook not that long ago and openly admit it. I do involve them in cooking as much as I can. My youngest though absolutely loves and researches this stuff. I clearly need to be watching more cooking shows 😅 #cooking #cookingtips #homecooking #momlife

Did a find a realistic peel and stick backsplash? YES! Let me tell you all about it… It’s waterproof It’s fire proof Can be grouted if you want Simple to install It’s strong… which means it’s not #renterfriendly unless you put a barrier down first! The best thing is that this brand (colamo) has so many colors and actually trendy designs. I had a hard time choosing and ultimately chose black because I have a vision for this kitchen. I will also be testing these in the girls bathroom because I am very curious how they will do in that type of situation! As always, it is also in my Amazon Storefront 🔗 in my bio!! #peelandsticktiles #peelandstickbacksplash #budgetfriendly #homedecor #homeimprovement #kitchenremodel

Did I find an affordable fabric #peelandstickwallpaper YES!! Here is everything you need to know about it… - It’s actually very easy to install because of how forgiving this material is. It’s easier to work with than vinyl in my opinion. This is a beginner friendly #DIY - I believe this to be #renterfriendly based off my initial rip tests BUT I can’t say for sure until it’s up for a while and I remove it. It is promising though! - This is a #budgetfriendly #wallpaper because you can buy a 98”x148” mural style for $189. I only bought 2 panels so it was $84. That is soo cheap for how good this stuff is. - They do have other designs and colors but not a lot because this brand Zeeko has only been around for 6 months from what I can tell. I have compiled a list of all the designs it looks like they offer they have been added to the Amazon wallpaper section on my website! I will see you tomorrow as I continue on with the $400 #diningroom and #kitchen #roommakeover #homedecor #homeideas

My #kitchen is literally the only room in this house I put a lot of money into over the last 3 years. I had basically not touched it or done anything new in this space until that cabinet broke… seeing the dark wood tones added into the space made me want to add more richness in here so that is what we are doing!! I have the foundation/vision for this #roommakeover and I set my budget at $400, but I am taking it creatively day by day. I have the most fun pulling rooms together as we go along! Trust the process over the next few weeks because I promise it will be fun! #budgetfriendly #DIY #homeideas #homeimprovement #eclecticdecor #eclectichome

I decided to go with a safe choice for the #kitchen island refresh and use #peelandstickwallpaper again. Why!? I have a hard time committing to permanent changes until I am sure it is something I want. If your new here am playing with the idea of bringing more wood tones into my kitchen. I was able to do that with $30 and a few hours of my time. Also, this is definitely a #renterfriendly #DIY and outside of it being #homedecor the wallpaper actually keeps my paint clean from the scuffing that happens from sitting at the barstools! This stuff is super easy to wipe clean!

Welcome back to the hot mess I made yesterday in the #budgetfriendly #kitchenmakeover We are looking good… I get to cook dinner tonight and start on the new backsplash tomorrow!! I haven’t told anyone (including my husband 😅) that I chose blackish backsplash!! I didn’t just go through all this work to get rid of my white backsplash to replace it with another white. How are we feeling about this? Are we excited or scared!? #DIY #homedecor #homeimprovement #homeideas

This is literally all within 1 year… it’s been so fun to watch! When we needed to go get her a bigger bag (she has 13 clubs now 🫠) she wanted another @Sunday Golf bag because it’s what she has had from the beginning and loves them. These really are great bags for the price so I am obviously a fan of that! #golf #golflife #golfobsession #golfer #golftiktok #golfaddict #golfswag #golftime

Let’s try and save @RobynSchallComic deposit… I am very loud about my hatered for the foam #peelandsticktile because they are the worst! The only way I know how to get these off is with a floor scraper that has basically a razor blade edge. The sharp edge can get underneath and cut through the adhesive (hopefully). It will be a ton of work… but I really hope this works! #renterfriendly #DIY #homedecor #peelandstick

Today didn't quite go as planned in my #budgetfriendly #kitchenmakeover. I knew removing these would take some paint off the wall, but I didn't expect the fix to be this extensive! That's just part of #DIY #homeprojects, right? Tonight, I'll finish sanding and seal the wall with primer/paint. Skipping the traditional backsplash install is why I'm putting in the extra effort. I promise this will make sense once you see what I am doing with this backsplash!

I am the girl who loves snuggling with my fur baby on my sofa but also cleans it every day… Penelope won’t stay on blankets she likes to lay on the sofa. She will absolutely walk right past a blanket to a piece of the sofa exposed or dig past the blankets to reach the sofa 😬 I stopped caring and just made it part of my morning routine to clean the sofa. I highly recommend this #cleaning gadget for fabric furniture and mattresses. As always, I have added it to my Amazon storefront linked in my bio! #amazonhome #amazonfinds #dogmomlife #cleaningtips #homedecor #homeideas

Honestly… I gave myself the nickname “lazy diy mom” because I enjoy doing #homedecor #DIY that’s not complicated. Is hanging shelves that complicated? Heck no anyone can do it. It is just one of those projects I don’t enjoy doing. Hanging those 4 shelves took me an embarrassing amount of time to do… Was hiding the TV cord and hanging the mirror super easy and only took a few minutes? Yup!! I love it when I can do something really fast that has a decent amount of aesthetic impact on a room. Anyways… I am back in this room finishing it up (finally) so tomorrow we get to start decorating! #budgetfriendly #renterfriendly #homeideas #peelandstick #homeimprovement

It has been 2 YEARS since I installed #peelandsticktile in my #shower and it’s doing good!! I get asked about updates on this project the most… probably because it was a little bit sketchy. 98% of it is still in perfect condition but I do have an iffy spot due to a poor install on my end. I can replace those panels if I want but don’t be mad… I am thinking about taking this down and testing a new product in here! Do we think I should do that!? Also, the #peelandstickwallpaper has held up in this bathroom and is doing soo good! This is part of my collection with Wall Blush This was a successful #renterfriendly #budgetfriendly #DIY but it’s incredibly important you purchase the exact tiles I used because they are rated for showers (according to the brand Art3d) but not all of the ones they make are. I have these exact ones always linked up in my b!0

This is kinda a big deal… I bought a saw! I am convinced dremel developed this for me even though they don’t know me. It’s literally the only saw I have ever wanted to buy. This was so incredibly easy to use! I know my people here could buy this and start doing more complex #DIY #homeimprovement with out any prior skills. You can also use this in an apartment which is so important to me personally since I do a lot of #renterfriendly #homedecor I mentioned it was #budgetfriendly because this entire kit is $149 which I think is an incredibly fair price!

It’s time… I need to find my passion again and fall back in love with my home. We will be going on this journey together! I hope to not only inspire myself through this process but inspire others to create a home they love! #homedecor #budgetfriendly #DIY #renterfriendly #homeimprovement #homeproject
