Sometimes what is popular on the blog and what is a flop surprises me. The most visited posts on my blog aren't even project posts, it's the followup posts I do a year or more later showing how a project or item has held up over time.
I get why these are popular, people (myself included) don't want to spend time and money on something if it's not going to hold up. So today I have a followup post about something you may have been wondering about...oil rubbed bronze …

10 Tips for Hosting a Successful (and Stress-Free!) Party
*Thank you to Pine Mountain for sponsoring this post!*
This spring Adam and I decided that it was time to start using our home for entertaining. It's something we had always wanted to do, and once our house was safe and functional enough to invite people over we put our plan into motion. The goal was large monthly parties, every single month. That was six months ago now, and we have since successfully hosted six parties. Also? We've learned a lot. So here is my list of my top ten …

DIY Reclaimed Wood Ceiling (so cheap, so pretty)
I don't think I've been THIS excited about showing y'all a project in a long time. The reclaimed wood ceiling in our kitchen and dining room is finished and it is just SO GOOD.
It's cozy and warm and I just love it. The house feels so much less like an unfinished white box and more like the home I have always pictured in my head. Also, the whole thing only cost $322. That's a deal in my book.
A wood ceiling in the kitchen and dining room was on the "must have" list from the …

Wood Slice Coffee Table
So this morning I woke up at 6 am, made breakfast, made lunches, got the kids ready for school, finished that last little bit of homework, found everyone's shoes, and made it out the door in time to meet the bus. The boys and I waited for about 20 minutes (while getting attacked by mosquitos) and the dang thing never showed. Since we are at a new stop (just added last week), I figured they forget us and went to get the car to drive them to school. Well guess what? Turns out it's Colombus Day and …

Double Sliding Barn Doors for the Office
Remember that time Adam and I DIYed some double sliding barn doors and it was the biggest fail ever? Well I'm happy to report that we have learned from our mistake and these sliding doors are a complete success. I love DIY, but many times it is just not worth it. Considering this hardware was about the same price as the failed DIY hardware (that now sits in our garage taking up space) I'd say DIY barn door hardware is forever on the "just buy it" list.
Alright, so here is the story of the …

Living Room Progress + Dreaming
Well hey there strangers! Sorry about all the blogging I have not been doing lately, this summer hit me harder than I was expecting. Adam worked a ton of extra hours and the four boys were all-consuming, so I decided to put blogging aside and enjoy my kids until summer was over. The older two are back in school now (kinder and 2nd) and here I am! Having just a two-year-old and nearly one year old at home during the day is like a freaking vacation...they're so quiet. I love my older boys to …

How to DIY When You Have Kids
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that most of my readers enjoy DIY, and also that a lot of you have kids. And as you are probably are painfully aware, those two things don't always go together all that well. So here is a list of things that I do to make DIYing with kids possible. It isn't the kind of list that is full of brilliant tips and ideas that you never thought of, this is just me chatting about what Adam and I do personally. And just for reference, we have four sons ages 7, 5, 2 …

A new look for Domestic Imperfection
So...notice anything different?! That's right, Domestic Imperfection has a whole new look! Isn't it so pretty and calm? I love it.
I've been working behind the scenes for the last two months or so to get the new site up and running. I've had the old design for over four years now and it was definitely time for a change. Technology progresses so quickly and my website wasn't only outdated visually, it was also a mess on the backend. The new site is up to date and mobile responsive, which means …

How To Install a Light Fixture with the DIYZ App
*Thank you to the DIYZ® app for sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% mine.
Let’s be honest here....progress in the kitchen is pretty much not happening these days. We got it to where it’s almost completely functional and then quickly became sidetracked with other things. It’s looked like this for a while now -
BUT, we did hang a light above the sink recently, so yay for steps in the right direction!
So last month I was at a local home decor boutique and spotted this …
