Today is reveal day where you finally get to see the complete transformation of a well-used room. The Bad Gas Station Bathroom is No More. This remodel was done in just six short weeks on a budget of $500. The Bad Gas Station Bathroom is No More A year and a half ago we purchased our 30-year-old home, Storybook Cottage. We have slowly been updating each room. This small powder room truly needed for a makeover. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane to show you what we started ... View the Post
Create A Vintage Tablecloth Garden Smock
Happy Monday my friends! Did any of you spend the weekend working in your garden? Today I want to share how to Create A Vintage Tablecloth Garden Smock. Create A Vintage Tablecloth Garden Smock Since we ripped out the 30-year-old landscaping from our garden beds last year at Storybook Cottage I have slowly but surely been adding in new plants and flowers.

Baby Bird
Happy Mother’s Day to all those who love a Baby Bird. Recently, on a Saturday, I had such a good mom moment. I had been at work with design clients all day. I pulled onto our street shortly before 6 pm tired and hungry. I spied my son sitting on our neighbor's curb by himself and thought “What in the world?” His raised his hands to his lips as I rolled my window down and just above a whisper he said “I’m so glad your home! I’ve been sitting here for 45 minutes waiting for you to come home or ... View the Post
ORC Week 4 The Mr. Does Demo
I know, we should have been doing the demo in week 2, but here we are. ORC Week 4 The Mr. Does Demo.

A standard 36” sink had ... View the Post
My Neighbor’s Gorgeous Garden
Right up the street from Storybook Cottage is a gorgeous garden. It is My Neighbor’s Gorgeous Garden. My Neighbor’s Gorgeous Garden I walk past this enchanting space a few times a week while walking the dogs. This past Friday, on Earth Day no less, I made my way up the front walk. I rang the doorbell, introduced myself and asked my green-thumbed neighbors if I could take a few pictures and if they could offer me a few great gardening tips. S.R., the resident gardener, was happy ... View the Post
ORC 3 Yikes The Halfway Point
Oh my goodness. This week of the One Room Challenge always instills panic within me. I feel like I am not going to finish on time. Stress is running high. ORC 3 Yikes The Halfway Point But we did get quite a bit accomplished this past week. Much to the probable dismay of those who expressed their love for it, I removed the wine rack from the ceiling. The wine vine wallpaper border was also removed and revealed… yet another wallpaper border that I would have to spend 3 hours taking down. ... View the Post
