DIY arch over our mantel mirror
Easy update to our fireplace mirror Modifying a built-in, oversized mirror can be as easy as adding a wood overlay….
In August, 2018 we will move into our new home “The Picket Fence House” where our DIY and home improvement journey will continue. The blog began 6 years ago with “The Esquire” – a home that I built in 2005 as a single mom. Here I share all of our room transformations in both houses, including lots of before + after photos, source lists and links to tutorials. To see how we decorate during the holidays, visit our seasonal home tours, too! You can also to shop my home to recreate a similar look in your own spaces!
