*Thank you to Article for providing the furniture to complete this makeover!
There are a lot of things I love about our house, but one of the biggest design successes is our breezeway. The breezeway is priceless...we hang out on it constantly; it's party central for our monthly potlucks, and it catches the breeze coming off the hill perfectly.
These pictures were taken a few years ago, right before we started our monthly potlucks. This is not what it looks like all the time... …

Our Tiny Home Office Reveal!
So I finally have the office reveal post finished, but I can't just dive in and show you the finished product without addressing the elephant in the room. Ummm....what he heck is life these days? I feel like I'm living in a history book. My kids school is canceled, Adam is working from home, everything is closed, I can't see my friends or family, and I'm on week three (Four? Seventeen?) of being at home with my kids. You would think these circumstances would lead to me cranking out the projects …

Master Bedroom Tweaks + Leather Headboard Awesomeness
*A big thank you to Article for sponsoring this post! All opinions are 100% my own.
Our master bedroom is one of the first rooms we choose to complete in this house. Even though nearly every other room in our house is far from finished, I keep working on and tweaking the master bedroom. I love our bedroom, I think it's freaking beautiful and it's truly a retreat for my husband and at the end of a long day. Here are a few photos of it in progress over the last few years...
Late 2016, when we …

Our DIY Farmhouse Laundry Room – The Reveal!
It's a big day around here, because it's room reveal day! Our farmhouse laundry room is completely finished...man it feels good to type that.

So here is the finished laundry room...check out this before and after!
Looking at the photo makes me smile so hard...what a difference!

It's here! Master bedroom reveal day!
Adam and I have been chipping away at the bedroom for the last couple of years, and slowly but surely it went from a mostly empty mishmash of random items to a relaxing retreat where we can escape at the end of the day. It's amazing.
So just to tide you over before we get to the guts of the blog post, here are a few pictures …

Mudroom Reveal – Where Form Meets Function
IT'S MUDROOM REVEAL DAY!! Let's just skip the forced introductory paragraph and get right to the good stuff. Here she is!
I don't think I could love it more. It's so satisfying to have a blank space and a vision, and then watch that vision actually come to life!
From start to finish the mudroom remodel (makeover/finish out/whatever you want to call it) took us almost exactly six months. That definitely isn't a short amount of time, but I think it's realistic for a DIY family …

Breezeway Makeover and Family Dinners: No Excuses Edition
For years now Adam and I have said we should start hosting big family dinners at our house once a month, and for years now we have come up with excuses not to. Either we were too busy, or the old house was too crowded, or the new house was too unfinished, or a variety of other things. We ran out of excuses after laying sod a few weeks ago though, and decided that Mothers Day weekend is going to be the start of a new tradition. Once a month, every month, we will have a giant potluck and hang out …

The Most Organized Pantry in the World
Okay, that title might be a biiit of a stretch, but either way...the pantry is complete! I posted the first part of the pantry redo months ago, and even though we finished a majority of it soon after I refused to post it until it was 100% complete. Adam and have a problem of only finishing things 90% of the way and moving onto the next project (I even wrote a post about it years ago) and I’m breaking the cycle.
So as a refresher, here was the before...
(Yes, my house is messy. It’s …

Master Closet Reveal!
It’s master closet reveal day! I showed y’all the fully installed but empty closet over two months ago, then I had a baby, the holidays came, things got crazy, and the final reveal has been a long time coming.
First and foremost, I am so in love with it. I’m not usually one to gush over things, but I’m also not used to awesome organized spaces. It’s always a goal of mine, but it never really fully happens. Not only is the closet really pretty to look at, but it’s also extremely …

Southwestern Guest Room Reveal
Time for another reveal post! Can you tell I'm trying to tie up loose ends on this house before I completely move onto the next one? Although this room turned out so well that I think I'm just going to move it right into the next house and try to change as little as possible. Anyway, here it is!
Here is what the room looked like previously...the one on the left is just after we bought it, and the on the right is after the first makeover.
This is by far my favorite room in the …

Master Bathroom Reveal
A few weeks ago I was working on my linen closet makeover and taking pictures of the finished product. I was perched on the vanity counter, pressed up again the mirror, when I looked around and realized that I had never posted a reveal of my master bathroom remodel. You know, the one Adam and I started in 2013 and haven't worked on in over a year? Obviously you remember it perfectly.
I never posted the reveal because there is still things I want to do to it, so I've never had that awesome …

Cowboy Bedroom REVEAL!
Today's a big day y'all, a big big day. Why? Because I finished the boy's room!
This room makeover has been dragging on for many, many years. It's kinda embarrassing how long it has taken, but I have to remember that this isn't a TV show where room makeover take 30 minutes, or some awesome professional blog where things get done in a timely manner. This is Domestic Imperfection. This is real life, where things get messy, I get distracted, and room makeovers take for-freakin-ever.
So lets …

Quick and Easy Master Bedroom Makeover
Many of you know that I'm part of the Better Homes and Gardens Live Better Network, and every other month I am challenged to use BHG products in a different way. Well this last month has been pretty busy for us, and the last thing on my mind was blog deadlines. So a few weeks ago (when I was about a week overdue with baby #3) I finally remembered to look up the next challenge theme and deadline. The theme? Bedroom makeover, due in less than a month. Not gonna lie, I kinda had an "oh crap" moment …

Small Hallway Reveal (It only took me a year!)
Last November I stenciled the little hallway the connects the master bedroom to the living room. Calling it a hallway is actually quite generous, "nook" would describe it better. I stenciled it using the Birch Forest Stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils, which was time-consuming but turned out great. I fully intended to decorate the area after I stenciled, but then life (and other projects) happened and I abandon the whole area.
But now it's decorated...and I love it.
The hallway has been …

Front Porch Reveal and a History of Clutter
Oh, our porch. Those of y'all that have been following for a while know what a blessing and a curse it is. We love our porch...it's HUGE, shady, and pretty much amazing. It is also our dumping grounds...it's where most activities happen (like projects) and it is normally looks like a disaster. AND it is right out there in the open and the first thing people see. I want it to be a clean inviting place for people to sit, chat, and enjoy a drink. It's never been that place.
Until now.
Now I …

Side Yard Reveal!
*This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine.
Last year we built our garage (which we love BTW) and added a sidewalk to connect it to the house. We also had a fence installed around the backyard, and all of that created a little triangle of secluded yard space.
I'm using the term 'yard' loosely, obviously. It looked terrible and needed some serious attention. When Miracle-Gro asked to team up this spring to complete a few outdoor projects, I …

Farmhouse Kitchen on a Budget – The Reveal
(Update: I hadn't really intended for this to be my kitchen reveal post, I really just wanted to show y'all how I "decked out" my new floating shelves. Anyway, it has become fairly popular as a kitchen reveal post so I went ahead and added the prices for everything we have done so far in the kitchen to the end of the post.)
Well, my internet is working again and it's time to show you my shelves! They are decked out, colorful, and oh so functional. This post doesn't really have a story to go …

Since the guest room was a pre-blog project I don't have any pictures of it in progress. Trust me when I say that every item in this room could be its own post!

Laundry Room Before and After
I love (LOVE!) before and after pictures. Our laundry room is the only room that is pretty much complete and I feel good about posting an 'after' picture. First, the before...
The first thing to go was that awful paint color. I painted it a muted green, same as in our living room and guest/kids bath. Next, the cabinets. This isn't our forever house so everything has to be done as cheaply as possible...Which means no new cabinets. I wanted them to look custom and unique so I painted …
