Home Renovation

Here’s how we solve two problems at once with a DIY stair storage box. So many simple solutions are possible with a little creativity and the right tools.

The current world climate means that a LOT of people are suddenly working from home. And they need drinks. Lots of drinks. This home bar setup is a one-piece solution that’ll have you feeling those Mad Men vibes in no time!

After buying a plot of land in Idaho to escape California, I turned to STIHL, like always, to maintain and improve my land. This is how I used my new STIHL auger to complete four essential projects for our new homestead.

If you are suddenly caught in between a renovation or you just have small space and looking to find creative ways to combine or divide your living room into a bedroom here are some inspirations to get you started.

Are your home tools a mess? Ours were, too. Here’s how we’re stocking up on what’s truly helpful for jobs big and small. Get that tool chest organized!

We all crave our own space. A place to get away. A place that isn’t invaded by others, by other issues, other memories. A place with a clean slate to call our own and to escape to so we can process everything we’ve had to deal with throughout the day. Sometimes a quiet place to rest or just read a book.

We fit all four of our kids in one room. True story. It’s not that we don’t have space to split them up – the kids have a dedicated playroom that could easily be converted to another bedroom. For our family, however, keeping one room dedicated to all the kids sleeping and one dedicated to all of their playing? Well, it’s worked perfectly. There have been just a few hiccups along the way, like when we transition each dude out of the crib. Not gonna lie, that part is always chaos.

Awhile back, we told you all how we installed our own hot tub. As we explained then, it was kind a sudden swap-out. We were expecting some huge endeavor, so we kept putting it off. When the time came, though, we were surprised at how simple it was! It arrived, got plugged in, and was ready for action within hours. The only thing left to think about was how to make this oh-so-luxurious hot tub fit in with our farm house vibe.

When we bought our house, it came with a hot tub. The sellers made it part of the deal that they could leave said hot tub where it sat, and we soon learned why. It was dead as a door nail from day one! There was something wrong with the overly-complicated electrical setup, and soon this massively-heavy beast of a machine was acting as a makeshift sanctuary for wayward frogs and snakes. It HAD to to be replaced, but we didn’t have a ton of money for this task or the first clue about how to install a hot tub.
