A few weeks ago we celebrated our second anniversary in our home! We have put our mark on nearly every inch of this house and just a few big ticket updates remain, like flooring and major bathroom renos. I did a post last year at this time sharing all the changes we made in our first year in the home. Now it’s time to update you on all the changes and upgrade we made in the past year.

In some projects there is one element that makes the room, this bath makeover is truly the sum of its parts. Ripping out the dated paneled drop ceiling, raising the height and adding shiplap made a HUGE difference. Adding decretive trim to to the walls, doors and bookshelf made this makeover look way more expensive than it was. A fresh coat of moody purple-grey paint (“Vintage Collection” by Magnolia) changed the space and the new vinyl peel and stick floor tiles completed the look.

My bedroom was a room in my home that hasn’t gotten much love since we moved in. I don’t think I bought one new item for this space. And it looked fine, but I certainly wasn’t excited about it. I set out to do a mini makeover to restore my excitement for our bedroom. Budget was high priority here, so I knew there weren’t going to be major purchases. I also had a few DIY art ideas in my back pocket.

Remember a few months ago when I posted about my backyard overhaul plans? Well, I made it! It took basically the whole summer, exactly what I didn’t want to happen, but I am in love with everything about this makeover. Today I’m going to tell you about the deck.
