I am so excited about this DIY. I searched high and low and could not find curtains I liked for the basement. So I did what any crafter would do, I made my own DIY Tassel Curtains! They were super easy to make and I love the touch of whimsy they bring to the space.

Why And How We Painted Our Basement Floor
In early March, back when life was normal, we painted our basement floor instead of having flooring installed. It’s been one of the best decisions we made for our house!

DIY Nautical Shelves
Do you ever have those ideas that sound weird? I told my husband I wanted to put wall shelves up in our guest bedroom and hot glue rope to the brackets. He’s used to me having weird ideas so I didn’t have to push much. But with weird ideas, sometimes they fail. This, however, is my new favorite. It was so easy to make these DIY nautical shelves and they make such an impact in the room!
How to Paint Stairs to Look Like Wood
This has to be one of my most exciting projects to date! Our stairs to our basement have been unfinished, just like our basement has been. The problem was that our stairs have an open railing and are fully visible from our main floor. No matter how much our great room came together decor-wise, it always felt a little unfinished because of the stairs. A couple years ago I had the idea to try painting them to look like wood just as a temporary fix. Unfortunately, around that time was when my hip pain flared up so sitting on stairs to paint them was out of the question. But this year I am fully recovered and what better time to paint that during quarantine! Here is how I painted our stairs to look like wood.
