All the Stuff & Things:

Nursery Makeover – My brother in law and his wife are expecting their first baby, girl! I am so excited for them to become parents.  I offered to makeover their spare bedroom into the nursery of their dreams complete with a traditional board and batten wall.  All sources & links for the nursery can be found here. 

As I built the board and batten wall LOTS of DM’s came in about how to deal with thin baseboards, textured walls, what wood and paint to use, and more. I compiled a blog post of 11 tips you might not know when it comes to board and batten. It’s a good read if you are looking to do ANY type of accent wall. 

Halloween Traditions

Spudnut Recipe – Homemade donuts… with mashed potatoes inside. This may be an Idaho thing, but it’s a MUST in our home! This recipe from Taste of Home is one my top recommendations due to the fact that it’s delicious and super easy to follow.

Kids Bathroom to Guest Retreat

In just over a weeks time I decided to take a sledge hammer to my kids bathroom floor and completely retile and makeover the room for it to be guest ready for the holidays. This project included LOTS of late nights to get it done before my son’s baptism, but it’s done and a space I am super proud of. You can get the links to the whole room here.
