It’s been awhile since I’ve reintroduced myself!
Hello to all the new faces! I’m Kara! A mom of two who is obsessed with adding function and style to my home so that I can make our life a little easier and a lot more beautiful! I might not be an expert in… well, anything! But we’re learning and growing together - conquering any challenge one step at a time 💪
To all of you that have been here awhile - please know I appreciate you more than you know. You let me share vulnerably without judgement and you cheer me on through everything - more than just DIY! I’m so grateful for each and every one of you. I truly feel we are all in the together ❤️❤️
And to those that might see this even though you have no idea who I am, I hope you choose to follow along (if you want) it’s a lot of fun over in this corner of the DIY world! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions, I’m honestly an open book 🤣🙌

More space doesn’t always equal more function!
I turned a coat closet into a pantry in my home and it worked OK for awhile but the two tier racks just were not cutting it 🙈
Things would get stuck underneath it, then other things would pile in front of it and anything underneath would disappear from my brain
If I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist 🤣
I built these ledges so that I can see what’s in back, see what’s in front, and nothing gets buried
I cook meals every day for my family
I make them lunches {almost} every day
And when I get ready to go shopping, I want to see what I have so that I don’t end up buying more than I need!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not hating on fancy butler pantries with beautiful baskets and bins but that’s not realistic for me.
I don’t have the space for that, but that’s OKAY because I can still make my home and my space work for me and that’s what matters most!
Like I said, sometimes it’s beautiful…
This time it’s not 🤣🤣

I need you to help me decide!! 😍
I am obsessed with my new @loloirugs SOR-01 Bark/Natural rug from the Sorrento Collection and I cannot decide where it should go!
It’s seriously amazing to see how easy it is to redecorate and give a whole new look to a space by just adding or swapping a rug 🙌
Option one: Playroom
The tile is not ideal - the kiddos have fallen on it and it hurts! This rug is insanely soft and covers the tiled area is nicely 😍
Option Two: Living Room!
I can’t decide which I like better - a darky moody rug or this one that’s brighter and more neutral 🤔 a neutral backdrop is so nice when it comes to decorating!
Option Three: Girls Bedroom Makeover
That’s right! My next big project is a makeover in my daughters room - should we use this rug in here??? It’s so soft!
The new year is the perfect time to freshen up your space! Declutter, organize, clean, and give a new look 😍 press the reset button and take a breath!
Thank you to Loloi for letting me try out their new line of rugs, I’m honestly obsessed with the quality and softness of this rug 🤯
What would you do? Tell me in the comments below!

Home 👏 takes 👏 time!!
I have so many big plans for the space but I’m chipping away at it a little at a time. Here’s what I’m doing next in the living/dining space: a board and batten feature wall with @weaberlumber 🙌
The biggest question is should I paint the trim? I want to sooo bad but also, will it look ok with the black windows? I have no clue 😂 might have to get a paint sample!!

Mini-Town Paint Colors!
This has definitely been the most asked thing and I know I started flying at the end and not really explaining things well so I thought saving this to its own post was a good solution!
All paint used I had on hand from previous projects OR I had on hand in the stash of paint left by previous owners 👇
- All the “black” used is Blackboard by @magnolia - this color does have a blue undertone
- the green on the police station is Pier by @behrpaint (used in my entryway)
- the tan on the walls and on the lower half of the rescue squad is Chocolate Froth by @behrpaint - this was left by a previous owner but I have to say that I LOVE it! It’s such a nice beige that has a slightly brown undertone (instead of that yellow undertone beige can have)
- The green on the top have of the rescue squad is Rock Bottom by @sherwinwilliams - this is such a chameleon color and I love it 😂 in this space is looks so green- this is my favorite Rock Bottom look! In my office it looks black, and when I tested this for my kitchen cabinets it was so blue 🤣 so I’d say it’s definitely in the teal family and it’s one of those colors you really should test in each specific room!
- Finally, any white used is Crème Fraîche by @valsparpaint - this one I had on hand from a previous project.. it’s a very nice warm white although I didn’t feel like it pulled any crazy undertones which is a big plus in my book 🙌
I’m wrapping up this week spending time with family and resting (this was a big project to fit into 6 weeks), catching up on cleaning, and putting Christmas away. I’ll be back soon! ❤️

Playroom Project: Photo Edition!
I’ve gotten some requests for photos of the playroom so here it is!
I’ll be answering some FAQs this week like what paint colors were used and other details about the space! If there’s anything you’d like to know, let me know! And to save most of you the trouble, heres the budget breakdown:
Drywall: $108
2x4s: $106
1x3s: $9
Nails, screws, caulk: IDK - maybe $20ish?
Spackle: $12
2 sheets of 1/4 plywood on sale: $41
As far as the accessories go, I thrifted them and paid cash for most, a lot of it was under $10, some items were even free from buy nothing fb groups or family members looking to get rid of things. I also got a lot of stuff at the $1.25 store! I don’t plan to add up every single item we bought for this space or that we bought as Christmas gifts for under the tree that also work for this space, I hope you can all understand.
I always do everything I can to keep projects affordable, this space didn’t cost half as much as it “looks” because of👇
- using closets as the structures of the buildings
- minimal framing (no windows or extra things)
- utilizing 2 years worth of scraps (plus some of my dads) and getting creative with it
- spending 6 WEEKS hunting thrift stores, restore, facebook marketplace, buy nothing groups, texting family members and friends and asking if they have specific items they don’t need anymore… when it comes to that stuff, you need patience and time
- repurposing things they already had: the school desk, shop, laundry set, and kitchen were all things my kids had in their rooms. I repurposed them in this space to turn an old toy into a new toy with new purpose
Two of the items in this space were gifted as part of collaborations. These items were paid for through content creation which helps the company reach more people and market their product that others (like me) use and love! I chose to work with @feltrightproducts for the felt tile wall and @muralsyourway for the wallpaper because I truly love their products😍
I hope that helps clear up the $$ questions ❤️ I do try to be as transparent as possible but also, I’m someone that buys as I go, as I can, and as I see things 🤷‍♀️

These items were paid for through content creation which helps the company reach more people and market their product that others (like me) use and love! I chose to work with @feltrightproducts for the felt tile wall and @muralsyourway for the wallpaper because I truly love their products😍
I hope that helps clear up the $$ questions ❤️ I do try to be as transparent as possible but also, I’m someone that buys as I go, as I can, and as I see things 🤷‍♀️

Playroom Project: Photo Edition!
I’ve gotten some requests for photos of the playroom so here it is!
I’ll be answering some FAQs this week like what paint colors were used and other details about the space! If there’s anything you’d like to know, let me know! And to save most of you the trouble, heres the budget breakdown:
Drywall: $108
2x4s: $106
1x3s: $9
Nails, screws, caulk: IDK - maybe $20ish?
Spackle: $12
2 sheets of 1/4 plywood on sale: $41
As far as the accessories go, I thrifted them and paid cash for most, a lot of it was under $10, some items were even free from buy nothing fb groups or family members looking to get rid of things. I also got a lot of stuff at the $1.25 store! I don’t plan to add up every single item we bought for this space or that we bought as Christmas gifts for under the tree that also work for this space, I hope you can all understand.
I always do everything I can to keep projects affordable, this space didn’t cost half as much as it “looks” because of👇
- using closets as the structures of the buildings
- minimal framing (no windows or extra things)
- utilizing 2 years worth of scraps (plus some of my dads) and getting creative with it
- spending 6 WEEKS hunting thrift stores, restore, facebook marketplace, buy nothing groups, texting family members and friends and asking if they have specific items they don’t need anymore… when it comes to that stuff, you need patience and time

Christmas Surprise: The Kids Reactions
I could definitely tell that it took them a minute to process all the different things they were looking at 🤣 they ran right past the police station and that’s the first thing you can see!
The more they explored, the more excited they got! Every time they have to stop playing to go somewhere, they start talking about and planning all the things they’re going to play when they get home 🥹😍 I’m so glad they love it! Hearing them tell our family members that mom built them a whole town literally melts my heart, I just love them so much 🥹🥰😍
Thank you to everyone that cheered me on though this project, every kind word that was messaged to me, every item that was sent (like the patches and school set), the items that a local DIYer gifted (the desk, end table, registers, and some other items), thank you to my husband for driving me all over this earth searching for accessories in thrift stores and marketplace meetups, thank you to him as well for letting me hoard scrap materials in our garage 🤣, thank you to our family for helping keep the kids busy and out of the basement and for contributing some of the items in this space as well (the cafe table and a disco ball for the stage area)
Thank you to everyone who contributed ideas, and those that just followed along with excitement as this project. Thank you to every person that helped me spread the word about the MSK a wishlist to give kids going through treatment a gift this year and to all of those that purchased a gift for them!! ❤️ I truly appreciate each and every person who is here and part of my community!
This project was just pure FUN and I loved every minute of it. I hope it was able to give anyone with kids some ideas for their own playrooms ❤️ I still can’t believe I pulled this off in 6 weeks 🥹 it was definitely worth every ache and pain I have lol!
From my family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays ❤️
Ps- I know my daughters pants are long, she insisted on wearing them to bed and she took them off to play

To all of you that have been here awhile - please know I appreciate you more than you know. You let me share vulnerably without judgement and you cheer me on through everything - more than just DIY! I’m so grateful for each and every one of you. I truly feel we are all in the together ❤️❤️

More space doesn’t always equal more function!
I turned a coat closet into a pantry in my home and it worked OK for awhile but the two tier racks just were not cutting it 🙈
Things would get stuck underneath it, then other things would pile in front of it and anything underneath would disappear from my brain
If I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist 🤣
I built these ledges so that I can see what’s in back, see what’s in front, and nothing gets buried
I cook meals every day for my family
I make them lunches {almost} every day
And when I get ready to go shopping, I want to see what I have so that I don’t end up buying more than I need!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not hating on fancy butler pantries with beautiful baskets and bins but that’s not realistic for me.
I don’t have the space for that, but that’s OKAY because I can still make my home and my space work for me and that’s what matters most!
Like I said, sometimes it’s beautiful…
This time it’s not 🤣🤣

I need you to help me decide!! 😍
I am obsessed with my new @loloirugs SOR-01 Bark/Natural rug from the Sorrento Collection and I cannot decide where it should go!
It’s seriously amazing to see how easy it is to redecorate and give a whole new look to a space by just adding or swapping a rug 🙌
Option one: Playroom
The tile is not ideal - the kiddos have fallen on it and it hurts! This rug is insanely soft and covers the tiled area is nicely 😍
Option Two: Living Room!
I can’t decide which I like better - a darky moody rug or this one that’s brighter and more neutral 🤔 a neutral backdrop is so nice when it comes to decorating!
Option Three: Girls Bedroom Makeover
That’s right! My next big project is a makeover in my daughters room - should we use this rug in here??? It’s so soft!
The new year is the perfect time to freshen up your space! Declutter, organize, clean, and give a new look 😍 press the reset button and take a breath!
Thank you to Loloi for letting me try out their new line of rugs, I’m honestly obsessed with the quality and softness of this rug 🤯
What would you do? Tell me in the comments below!

Home 👏 takes 👏 time!!
I have so many big plans for the space but I’m chipping away at it a little at a time. Here’s what I’m doing next in the living/dining space: a board and batten feature wall with @weaberlumber 🙌
The biggest question is should I paint the trim? I want to sooo bad but also, will it look ok with the black windows? I have no clue 😂 might have to get a paint sample!!
