Chapter 45: Living, laughing, and thriving! Here’s to another year of adventures, growth, and making memories that last a lifetime. Let the celebrations begin! 🥂 #thisis45 #birthdayqueen #cheerstome
HOW TO // DIY Pottery Barn Pumpkin 🎃 I’ve b HOW TO // DIY Pottery Barn Pumpkin 🎃 

I’ve been wanting to make one of these terracotta dupe pumpkins for forever and when I found this gloriously big jack-o-lantern at JoAnn on sale, I knew it was time.

It was super easy to do! I mixed a variety of paint colors until I was happy with the outcome.🎨

Then poured in some baking soda (measure with your heart) to give it a thicker consistency. 

Finally, I dusted more baking soda on the top. I tried a makeup brush to spread it out, but honestly, was easier to do by hand. 👋🏻

Save this post so you can try this out, even if you have to wait until next year. 😉

We transformed our dingy basement into a fun, functional family gym space! 🏋️‍♂️🏡✨

From fresh white walls to sleek new flooring, we tackled it all with a little DIY magic and some amazing finds from @loweshomeimprovement!

This project has completely changed the way we use this space, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. 

Whether it’s cardio, strength training, playing, or just a little dancing, this gym works for everyone in the family! 🙌

Here’s what we did:
🤍 Brightened the walls & ceiling with Sherwin Williams Pure White
🖤 Added a bold Tricorn Black accent wall
🤎 Installed gorgeous Florian Oak laminate flooring
🩶Put up large mirrors (so ready for those workout moves!)

That’s right. 

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve done a fun project and we are currently partnering with @loweshomimprovement to give our dingy basement gym a makeover! #lowespartner #lowesproject 

We wanted to transform this unfinished space into a multifunctional family gym area that we can all use and benefit from.👟

Plus, I’m big on aesthetics, so I wanted something functional AND pretty. 💅🏻

Working within our budget, we plan to:

🤍 Brighten walls/ceiling with a fresh coat of Sherwin Williams Pure White paint

🤍 Paint the back wall w/ Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black to allow the pipes, battle rope, & tv to blend in

🤍 Install new Style Selections Florian Oak Wood Plank Laminate flooring

🤍 Add large wall mirrors (the dancer in me is soooo excited 🩰)

🤍 Build-in our freestanding sauna

All product #affiliatelinks in bio.

We have started the process by using our HomeRight Paint Sprayer, which has been a bit tedious, but much easier and quicker than rolling the paint on.

Can’t wait to share more with you!

I’ve wanted to find one of these Disney Frozen castles for awhile now, but everything on marketplace was too far away or way too pricey.

I finally snagged this one for $30 and after 3 cans of spray paint and a few embellishments we have finished look. 

I feel Iike it adds a nice little touch to our holiday decor. 

What do you think?! ❄️
