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 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!)

In my DIY era. AGAIN. 🛠️🏡

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!

✨ Introducing the Holiday Chalet! ✨

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?! ❄️
