2019 Review and 2020 Goals

Hey everyone, happy 2020! So each new year I write a post about our house goals for the year and look back on how we did on the previous year's goals. I like having goals, lists, and always having something to work on...but I'm not that type A about it. For example, it's January 14th and I am just now thinking about this, haha. So let's jump in and see how we fared last year. 2019 House Goals - The Verdict So How did we do on our 2019 house goals? Not great, honestly.....even worse if you …

Christmas Bedroom Tour

Merry Christmas Eve! So I'm a few hours away from hosting our family Christmas, and while scrubbing all the things I usually don't scrub I realized I never posted about my Christmas bedroom decor. Fail, Ashley....fail. Anyway, let's get right to it, because this Christmas enchilada soup isn't going to make itself. So if you have been around for a while then you have probably noticed I have never been into seasonal decorating. You would think I would love it, since....you know....I've been …

Vertical Christmas Banner

Remember the good old days of Domestic Imperfection where I would do a mediocre craft project and post about it, crappy pictures and all? I miss that. So today we're going to get nostalgic and show you a super quick, super easy Christmas project, posted way too late in the season, using dark shadowy phone pictures. Get excited!  So here is what we are making today -  This project was actually 100% my husband’s idea. I told him I wanted to really decorate the bedroom for Christmas …

Oil-based vs. water-based sealer – which to use and why

Imagine you spend forever sanding, priming, and painting a beautiful piece of furniture you found at a garage sale. It looks fantastic...you breathed new life into it like a freaking pro. Go you! The last step is to protect the paint so it looks this amazing forever. You grab a sealer from the hardware store without much thought...because sealer is sealer, right? Except it's not, and your entire project turns yellow and streaky, completely ruining it. As you can see in the above photo, …

My Favorite Black Friday Finds

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm stuffed full of a few plates of food (mostly pie, admittedly) and unable to do anything productive...so instead I'm online shopping. I love home decor and I love deals, so naturally I've been perusing some of my favorite retailers to see what kind of deals they had going on for Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Here are the sales I found and some of my favorite items from each brand! *This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my affiliate …

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. Room reveals are my absolute favorite, not only because they mean I get to check another space off my to-do list, but also because I get to move onto a new space and appease my project ADD. 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! To get a better …

How to Make a Countertop out of Wood Flooring

So Adam and I have been working on our laundry room for a while now, but as we are not HGTV it actually takes us real-life amounts of time to finish a room remodel. Two years so far, I think... that's normal, right? Don't answer that. It has been a process but I swear we are almost done, and it gets more usable every time we work on it. It's actually starting to look pretty dang amazing. As a refresher, here are the posts I have already written about the laundry room - Laundry room …

Our Leather Article Sofa – One Year Later

Every once in a while I go through my blog analytics to see what posts are doing really well, and which ones were a big 'ol flop. Doing this is extremely eye-opening, because the posts/projects that do really well are never the ones I expect. The two most popular posts I wrote in 2018 were "How to Paint Shiplap" (this one surprised the heck out of me), my series and review of our leather furniture from Article. The question I get asked most often these days is "How is your Timber leather sofa …

Summer 2019 Recap

Every summer I have high hopes of blogging and doing home projects with all four boys around, and each summer I fail horribly. So this summer I wizened up and just decided not to worry about the blog or getting anything done on the house. If it happened, great, if not, that's fine too. And you know what? Nothing got done, and it was great. Anyway, now that the kids are back in school (two in elementary school and two in mothers day out two mornings a week) I'm refreshed and excited to get …
