Home - Main Bathroom Renovation My very favorite brush to cut in around the ceiling and trim is this one. The short handle keeps my hand from getting as tired and the angle helps me to get a straight, smooth edge without using painter's tape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/079bae0b-df30-4a83-9db4-65c43d672fd7/DSC01128.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/6f23e2ad-cbfd-432e-b222-4f768ad30661/Screenshot_2021-03-14+FROGTAPE+240661+Multi-Surface+Painter%27s+Tape+with+PAINTBLOCK%2C+Medium+Adhesion%2C+1+88+Inches+x+60+Yards%5B...%5D.png Home - Main Bathroom Renovation There are times when painter’s tape is crucial though and for those times, I use frog tape. I’ve used the blue frog tape, but the green is superior in every way. In my experience, the blue tends to tear off and leave little bits that you have to go back and try to get off with an exacto knife. The green frog tape does not do that. It’s my favorite and we always have some on hand for our projects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/e60ae787-2de4-486f-a3fa-9c800ea9a987/DSC01200.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/93eb857b-a210-4129-ae6e-6d61b52d3a23/Screenshot_2021-03-14+Amazon+com+Purdy+White+Dove+Roller+Cover%2C+9+x+3+8+in+%2C+3+count+Home+Improvement.png Home - Main Bathroom Renovation For roller sleeves, I’m usually looking for ones that do not shed and have a little more nap since our walls are not perfectly smooth. I like these. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/886b0d8b-dda6-4dc7-bb87-b2d006100635/DSC01136.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/e2c5cc99-c85c-4b07-9fab-c6563c649ef5/Screenshot_2021-03-14+Amazon+com+Glad+Sealable+Plastic+Wrap+Press%27n+Seal+with+Griptex%2C+100+sq+ft+33+8YD+x+11+8IN+%28Packaging%5B...%5D.png Home - Main Bathroom Renovation Another little favorite tip of mine is that whenever I need to stop in the middle of a paint project, I cover my brush, roller sleeve and paint tray with Glad Press ‘n Seal plastic wrap. That way, you can go and take a lunch break or even come back to it the next day and it’s still usable. I do this with my oil-based paint too, but it will not last as long as acrylic. It will start getting gummy on you if it’s more than an hour or so. If I’m finished for the day, I clean my brush with mineral spirits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/bd81e554-ebc7-4265-8bf1-61a8bec59e62/DSC01138.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/d0a2b3a2-4a2a-4af0-811b-f269f7da1916/DSC01213.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/369a24c1-1b62-4ec1-8a91-a3bbfa09915f/DSC01222.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/cc375a1b-df8c-47ed-8970-87481ebf52bc/DSC01113.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/55a32b79-2814-49e8-a8c9-33fdaf19bb2f/DSC01116.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/cf43c4d5-9c6d-4fb1-880e-90bd6f308e5b/DSC01219.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c228245a-3218-44c2-874c-f365a9dda9c7/DSC01196.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5618b98b-5c58-4889-b05c-783351d4ee2c/DSC01129.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5d05b07e-6886-43ce-8f32-b2e13d149407/DSC01147.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/26fb48c8-71c6-4494-b339-ae5d033bfd3a/DSC01584.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616100844461-NZ2FGZY2TQYHZCLW3RGC/Main+bathroom%281%29.jpeg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation - BEFORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616100885698-92JKSGGJTD8V6G0I3TQZ/IMG_0334+1.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation - AFTER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1615418675699-TWFZQKR0XMGW2MYQKU90/Main+bathroom.jpeg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1615419089132-LUSOMWUYTSBDWOYEDCR5/20151101_164817000_iOS+%281%29.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation This was our first stage of renovation…redoing the walls, cabinets, and adding new decor.

We used Aura Bath and Spa Paint in matte finish for this bathroom. We’ve used Aura in matte finish in every room that we have renovated. When you open the can, it’s rich and creamy. It goes on smoothly and has little to no sheen. It is wipeable and washable and never looks chalky like flat paint. It holds up! It’s a win-win in every room. We used it in our kitchen renovation 9 years ago and I’ve had to wipe off many spills and scuffs over the years and it still looks great. I love it and highly recommend it if you are going to repaint a room. It’s not the cheapest paint and not the most expensive but I think it’s worth the extra money for a premium product that stands the test of time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616791608271-OB59EXZT0CHSN4EM6UEY/IMG_4909.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation You can really get a sense of the scale of this mirror here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616099574535-H03LLSCHSVUQHMCQYYP0/20200421_222600771_iOS.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616099603848-DUPTG6YDMAROZNSXA1FD/20200516_164139980_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616791680127-6HHDPEWB6EXAW0KDDXMF/IMG_5477.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616100084843-ZUMXYAMATXHM74BUDR0J/IMG_5498.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616100490657-6BA1DGSVC3R5EGB0P0WZ/20200221_213215841_iOS.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616812790533-K17W4L8KCA6WU8ZKGRM9/IMG_5673%25281%2529.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616812673473-DXP5MH645GUQIMAGD6IU/DSC01202%281%29.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616793392456-O683KOA2BB9WHJKTPK1F/DSC02857.jpg Home - Main Bathroom Renovation https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/thrifted-lamp monthly 0.5 2022-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/3667f01b-059d-4e38-af2d-e9b35d4dfe21/finial.jpg Home - Thrifted Lamp DIY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4ca6d95b-c84b-4b26-8449-805a470b44e2/green+felt.jpg Home - Thrifted Lamp DIY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1652650749040-57S0QTUZC0W0EJ8D6HUR/Harp.jpg Home - Thrifted Lamp DIY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/bda1bfd2-70f2-46dd-a689-98c7934830cb/lamp+shade.jpg Home - Thrifted Lamp DIY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/82134c00-a4f1-4433-83cd-c834174190a6/20210422_204800917_iOS.jpg Home - Thrifted Lamp DIY - BEFORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/68a1ab2a-4fcf-4057-a8f9-05414ead69ad/20220410_224813129_iOS.jpg Home - Thrifted Lamp DIY - AFTER https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/eb36f735-43c0-44fb-8729-895b795154a6/20210422_204813767_iOS.jpg Home - Thrifted Lamp DIY Eureka!

How I Selected my New Pottery Barn Sofa - The last sofa we had we purchased in 2002. You can probably imagine what it looked like. It was a bronzy paisley print with huge rolled arms that served us well for many years. I wanted a sofa that I could sit on and feel tiny like Alice in Wonderland. I also wanted a sofa that if one of us spilled a drink or food or one of my kids threw up on it, I could clean it up (of course) but it wouldn’t “ruin” the sofa. Once we got it home, my husband complained about it a lot. It had 5 loose pillows on the back and it just so happened that when you sat down and got comfy that one of the corners of the pillows felt like it was going to poke you in the eye. Not great and also not great that I picked something that he wasn’t a big fan of. Live and learn people, that’s all I can say. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/909cef5f-fdaf-4684-a0ec-02c781234736/20220402_234950743_iOS.jpg Home - How I Selected my New Pottery Barn Sofa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/f55ff091-7a63-46d7-8950-efa3df95bef3/20220514_143343664_iOS.jpg Home - How I Selected my New Pottery Barn Sofa - It had to seat our whole family, it couldn’t be a bench seat because they tend to sag in the middle and also one end has the potential to flip up when sitting on the other end. It looks bad and it was something I noticed when we were shopping. It couldn’t be too fussy. I wanted clean lines and I wanted to be able to clean it if needed so performance fabrics were a must. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a3a1e517-f78f-44bf-88eb-e3c0e20e0d2a/20220514_152610256_iOS.jpg Home - How I Selected my New Pottery Barn Sofa - This sofa (from Sara Sells) was more in line with what I was looking for. Positives: I loved the color and fabric The price tag ($1999) was great Negatives: I’d have to take the floor model to get two and it looked pretty worn already I wanted a more tailored look so I didn’t really want a skirt On the fence about the bench cushion https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/74bab994-debc-491c-a773-2b504ebe7bcd/20220514_195513243_iOS.jpg Home - How I Selected my New Pottery Barn Sofa - This sofa was from BG Home Furnishing, a local furniture store. Positives: More tailored More options of fabrics Negatives: Price was more expensive. I didn’t love the nail head trim, or the dainty feet. I like me some big, bossy furniture. When Doug sat on one end of the bench cushion, the other end kind of flipped up. I knew that would irritate me on the daily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/6c617b91-8eb5-449f-8007-cdff821ca98e/img17xl.jpg Home - How I Selected my New Pottery Barn Sofa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/8231f330-1808-4536-a7c6-b019e81e04ee/20220711_201309112_iOS.jpg Home - How I Selected my New Pottery Barn Sofa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ad6efc86-f963-42d7-9705-6ae160915017/20231028_202259596_iOS.jpg Home - How I Selected my New Pottery Barn Sofa Testing Pottery Barn Performance Fabrics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1ec529c6-2d3d-4f05-b487-a2953fbb1013/lrfinal.jpg Home - How I Selected my New Pottery Barn Sofa Laundry Room Makeover https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/hawaiian-quilts-for-my-kentucky-living-room monthly 0.5 2024-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c709b3b4-27ee-434a-b5eb-bd6c2e4204b0/hawaiianquilt2.png Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room Throw Pillowcase from Etsy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c8d6ba2d-14d9-4a47-9bb6-3325e2dc3159/20231113_220545736_iOS.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/22636ddb-dde6-440d-8c9f-51b1e10a6283/20240108_000026280_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/bb6c8c4d-bb90-4e1c-b53b-0a44621107dc/20240112_162718565_iOS.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/920ccd34-3297-4f1b-be8e-49fac778d98d/hawaiianquilt1.png Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room Quilt from Etsy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4770ec4d-d0eb-4f5a-b176-d378cdee721b/20231113_220710037_iOS.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2699c10a-dd3a-4637-b35d-b4259b965bc5/20240105_210456326_iOS.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0cf93f45-8a48-4ecb-a720-680142958743/20240108_021543458_iOS.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7dc20ce6-7658-456d-8921-eef819ede49a/hawaiianquilt3.png Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room Throw Pillowcase from Etsy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9a842ddc-0e9e-4922-8f74-0df8ff2e9f1a/20240112_181316198_iOS.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/fecb7e3e-2eeb-43b3-90c6-17e2218dc8c8/20231113_153531788_iOS.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c83e4bb1-e253-47b7-a0ef-9fab0d15f08c/hawaiiphotos_v2.png Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c5ce3438-7949-465e-860b-55939a1ea3a4/origin.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room - When we got orders to leave Hawaii, I started hunting for a forever souvenir. So, what does that mean? I wanted something that would stand the test of time that would look lovely in our house for years to come that would be a reminder of our time there. It’s a tall order to be sure! My very favorite activity to do while we lived there was hiking and snorkeling. I was very drawn to local artists that did murals around the islands of whales and other underwater creatures. They managed to really capture the feeling of what it’s like to snorkel and I loved it! The only problem was that I knew living in Hawaii that art would look great on my walls, but back in the states, well, it just wasn’t going to fit with my decor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/272dd27f-51f9-4e16-9e29-dacaebb31ce9/center.png Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/16a798ab-e5c4-4e2f-b653-bab6cf1856ab/GalleryWallPlanning.png Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room - The thing that kept holding me back is that it’s not quite large enough on its own to be the only piece of art over the couch. So, I pondered for a long time and finally decided I would make it the star of a gallery wall. I started going around the house and gathering other special items that I thought would look nice in a gallery. My daughter came for a visit in the fall and I was telling her my idea so we started trying different configurations. While we were putting different pieces together, I remembered that I had bought two Hawaiian pillows back in the day and they were in a storage bin in a closet. So, I dug them out and we tried those in the gallery as well. We liked how they looked, but something about the whole gallery together wasn’t quite right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/99e748e9-55e3-471d-af8c-42a0bb73547c/20231111_192756315_iOS.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/204c0e58-8802-47cb-ab10-817679dfbb22/20240127_001145000_iOS.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room - The two pillow covers were a little soiled from being handled and stored all these years. I was able to brighten them up by soaking them in a little dawn dish soap. I kept gently washing them until the water came out clean. Once clean, I rolled them with a white towel to soak up the water and layed them out to dry. They came out looking so fresh and new! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2c016727-209c-413b-951b-e2d8ed7b84ab/20240112_161623413_iOS.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room How I Selected my New Pottery Barn Sofa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/751f81d2-bfba-434f-bbcf-99dfdea3fca8/20230418_221939343_iOS%2B1.jpg Home - Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room How to Make a Unique Vintage Plate Wall https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/how-i-maintain-my-heirloom-quilts monthly 0.5 2024-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0d4ef5a3-2fd4-402b-9429-67b180b255f3/20230801_000754937_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - How I Maintain My Heirloom Quilts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9ff40ce9-07ff-48bc-8fc9-e235eef5c552/20230806_190826300_iOS.jpg Home - How I Maintain My Heirloom Quilts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9ac7c064-59c0-4ac8-8f1e-734e4d67d67c/20240201_205144000_iOS.jpg Home - How I Maintain My Heirloom Quilts - My very first memory of loving quilts was the one that was on my bed when I was a little girl. And, guess what? I still have it! It was a butterfly quilt that my Mama made in the 1960s. She appliqued butterflies on the individual quilt squares and I’d lie in bed and trace those butterflies with my finger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4cd56824-ccf4-4566-8130-cf659e8f8bad/quiltphotos2.png Home - How I Maintain My Heirloom Quilts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/cd26553c-2b50-4ad6-9713-bc2dabdfb73c/20230727_003553363_iOS.jpg Home - How I Maintain My Heirloom Quilts - Once it’s as dry as you can get it, hang it over a banister or the edge of the tub on a towel. I usually rotate it every few hours so it’s not pulling too much on any one portion of the quilt. You may be able to drape it over some chairs outside for faster drying but I do not trust birds to not fly by there and do their business so I choose to dry them slowly in the house. Usually, they will completely dry overnight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2c016727-209c-413b-951b-e2d8ed7b84ab/20240112_161623413_iOS.jpg Home - How I Maintain My Heirloom Quilts How I Selected my New Pottery Barn Sofa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2c0c5d82-6cdb-4c39-b5e3-0f47b51716f8/quiltbanner_v4.jpg Home - How I Maintain My Heirloom Quilts Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/vintage-mirror-gallery-wall monthly 0.5 2024-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/231c939f-9454-499c-8829-c2e8e8d6b10a/20240310_183725828_iOS.jpg Home - Vintage Mirror Gallery Wall https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/32be3a40-9dec-4f0f-890b-73168914eb35/20240310_185627330_iOS_harness.png Home - Vintage Mirror Gallery Wall - Now, a little about these mirrors. The harness mirror is a family heirloom. Doug’s grandpa, Oscar Denzil, made that mirror and it is special to us. I fondly remember it hanging in their living room. I was so happy when Doug’s granny gave it to us but it didn’t quite fit with my aesthetic and so I had it in the spare room on the wall. It was hidden and that was no good. Since it is the mirror with the most unusual shape, its placement was the most important. I decided with its shape, it would need to go on the right side. It just felt right with that being the tallest side of the wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1682e995-782e-4049-828f-4113ef515fe7/20240310_185638211_iOS.jpg Home - Vintage Mirror Gallery Wall - The gold Victorian mirror was found at an antique shop in Franklin called Bright’s Antique World. I found it there on a shopping trip with Doug, but I didn’t buy it because I thought it was too pricey and this was before the mirror gallery idea had popped into my head. So, when my sister came to visit last September, we headed down there to go thrifting. I had mentioned that mirror to her and asked her to be on the lookout for it while we shopped. I really had no hope that it would still be there. But guess what? I had described it to her so well that she spotted it and called me over! Yes, that’s it – what a score! So now when I look at that mirror, I think of the fun time I had with my sister, son and husband on that shopping trip! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/10ea2f2a-d5b5-41a7-9f87-daf4fe7f80eb/20240310_185643608_iOS.jpg Home - Vintage Mirror Gallery Wall - The little silver hand mirror is one that Doug bought for our daughter when she was in high school. It’s hers when she wants it, but it can sit here on our wall until she’s ready for it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9f04ba5e-d555-4069-af42-a4969d92bd46/20240310_185632890_iOS.jpg Home - Vintage Mirror Gallery Wall - The oval mirror is a mirror I found at Hobby Lobby years ago. I bought it for this area beside the thermostat and it was hung there until we had the walls repainted. It’s always been a favorite because of its vintage flare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/48a292b8-3db8-493f-83fb-f803426c4387/20240310_185652055_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Vintage Mirror Gallery Wall - Since the initial hanging of the mirror gallery, I have found two cypher trivets. One is from Williamsburg and has an “M” on it. We found it on the same shopping trip as the Victorian mirror. The other brighter gold trivet is the most recent addition. I found it on a shopping trip in Wilmington, North Carolina on a recent visit to my sister. We are not 100% sure of the letter, but my sister thinks it’s a “J”, so I decided to get it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9329b2de-8a86-4153-a88e-71620d7c5739/20230409_221144647_iOS.jpg Home - Vintage Mirror Gallery Wall How to Make a Unique Gallery Plate Wall https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2c0c5d82-6cdb-4c39-b5e3-0f47b51716f8/quiltbanner_v4.jpg Home - Vintage Mirror Gallery Wall Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/diy-spare-room-makeover-into-office-in-8-weeks monthly 0.5 2024-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9815e1f5-6bb5-46f7-a12b-537fb71f09a6/photo_2024-03-28_16-57-16.jpg Home - DIY Spare Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | One Room Challenge, Week 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a1cc44f7-b5e9-4d81-8af6-f0ce674deb7a/MoodboardSlide_v2.png Home - DIY Spare Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | One Room Challenge, Week 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/d773ce04-6b66-4890-bd96-ba79c1900e95/PlanSlide.png Home - DIY Spare Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | One Room Challenge, Week 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/b7d30167-9127-494a-b573-e64c76934b70/DSC07461_small.jpg Home - DIY Spare Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | One Room Challenge, Week 1 - Since cleaning it up enough to get an air mattress on the floor, I’ve been wanting to take it to the next level. I need a dedicated workspace to work on my blog and for when I’m working from home 3 days a week. Since I’ve been working this new schedule, I’ve mostly been set up on the kitchen island. When it’s time for a meal, I have to move all my work out of the way and well, it’s just not working. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9329b2de-8a86-4153-a88e-71620d7c5739/20230409_221144647_iOS.jpg Home - DIY Spare Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | One Room Challenge, Week 1 How to Make a Unique Gallery Plate Wall https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2c0c5d82-6cdb-4c39-b5e3-0f47b51716f8/quiltbanner_v4.jpg Home - DIY Spare Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | One Room Challenge, Week 1 Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/clearing-out-all-the-clutter-one-room-challenge-week-2 monthly 0.5 2024-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1712267787545-0JRDDVZSDCF94IBNWEJM/20240404_162840229_iOS%252B1.jpg Home - Clearing Out All the Clutter | One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1712267763206-S6ZGL3D9H8813HAW2CRC/20240404_203843302_iOS.jpg Home - Clearing Out All the Clutter | One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/780d3ead-1fb8-4866-90dc-c09e412e5791/20240404_210129736_iOS+1.jpg Home - Clearing Out All the Clutter | One Room Challenge, Week 2 - So we are in Week 2 of the One Room Challenge! Doug and I are back to work this week, so we have to be weekend warriors on this project! We have cleaned out the room and that was no small task. It took me hours and days to get this room cleared out and figure out where I could house the furniture, photo albums, luggage, clothes, etc. while we are working on this project. We still have a few decisions that need to be made. I’m going to try to stay as true as I can to my mood board, but we must remember, it’s a mood board and in the end, I may change my mind. I can do that. It’s my prerogative! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/326bb0b5-e958-43b8-a983-a2e6ff3f3e77/Week1Carousel_Thumbnail.jpg Home - Clearing Out All the Clutter | One Room Challenge, Week 2 DIY Spare Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | One Room Challenge, Week 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2c0c5d82-6cdb-4c39-b5e3-0f47b51716f8/quiltbanner_v4.jpg Home - Clearing Out All the Clutter | One Room Challenge, Week 2 Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/its-paint-selection-time-one-room-challenge-week-3 monthly 0.5 2024-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/8481e964-e45e-4058-a56f-88f21b5a2a67/20240409_220707895_iOS.jpg Home - It's Paint Selection Time! | One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/dae5aea9-0ba1-4070-b404-590c403618af/20240408_232716911_iOS.jpg Home - It's Paint Selection Time! | One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4047030e-731f-4d89-ba54-f8908de24110/20240410_164311618_iOS.jpg Home - It's Paint Selection Time! | One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/fc1ec456-e5fd-46ff-8fbc-6d7179ba6ebc/20240409_221132443_iOS.jpg Home - It's Paint Selection Time! | One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7deaeb08-6ae7-42e7-8618-50abd197a4d3/20240409_213044128_iOS.jpg Home - It's Paint Selection Time! | One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/cb8ca546-dac4-420b-82a2-184ca1a3cd04/20240409_215611000_iOS.jpg Home - It's Paint Selection Time! | One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5718026b-3efb-4477-82b0-410e5ddd495d/20240408_195528307_iOS.jpg Home - It's Paint Selection Time! | One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5c006f8a-eae6-4cc7-b362-67a6829be7c4/Week1Carousel_Thumbnail.png Home - It's Paint Selection Time! | One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/45716013-a94e-4a50-8607-f9fdcb6a2bdc/20240407_151316877_iOS.jpg Home - It's Paint Selection Time! | One Room Challenge, Week 3 - It’s Week 3 of the One Room Challenge and I’m so excited how much this room is changing just with cleaning out the clutter! This week I have spent a lot of time at the paint store and in the room, painting samples on the wall and viewing at different times of day to see how the light hits. This room is on the north facing side of the house so the colors are tricky. It also has two windows but the only time of day that it gets direct sunlight is early morning. There are trees right outside and the green from the trees and the grass have an impact on the wall color. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5f4850cd-895b-4ef5-a95a-e9074f3d81d3/20240410_215115855_iOS.jpg Home - It's Paint Selection Time! | One Room Challenge, Week 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7cefc6bc-5d34-434d-8f42-e5b157a20926/photo_2024-04-11_17-31-44.jpg Home - It's Paint Selection Time! | One Room Challenge, Week 3 - We also stopped in Smiths Grove at a few antique and thrift stores and I found a very cool chair that I have on hold at the moment.

The first round of painting in this room is finished and I just love the color! We will need to do another round of painting to touch up in places after the bed and bookcases are installed. Wow, wow, wow is all I can say! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2743fbc5-4b8d-4c7a-92b9-826807524351/20240414_200756431_iOS.jpg Home - Painting the Room and Other Fun Things | One Room Challenge, Week 4 - I had to paint the ceiling which is never fun with a textured ceiling. My dream is to have a house one day that has smooth ceilings! At least the texture is subtle but it’s still a little tricky to paint. It’s easy to miss spots with a paint roller. I used a lamp to shine up to make sure I didn’t miss any spots. I even laid in the middle of the floor to take a break after cutting in with the new wall color to make sure I didn’t miss any spots! It looks great! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/d3105347-a4a0-4492-bcfc-952d6f7b2b12/20240418_123944544_iOS.jpg Home - Painting the Room and Other Fun Things | One Room Challenge, Week 4 - Now to the other fun things! The rug came in! As you will recall, Amazon said it was the last one and it freaked me out but I got it. Now, I’ve been a little worried that once we have the bookcases built that I won’t have enough room for the rug. That would be tragic, wouldn’t it? I’ll order the smaller size and work it out but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it will be fine and also once I clean up my drop cloths will get the measuring tape in there again and make sure I haven’t under or overestimated the space. Remember that table and chair I had on hold in Smiths Grove? We picked them up and I’m so in love with the chair! The table needs some work but I really love it too. I brought the chair home and treated it with flea powder, just in case. (I think this is always a good idea when thrifting upholstered pieces. Ask me how I know?! - ha!) The chair is in great shape and I’ll be using my carpet cleaner to clean the velvet and some old English to clean up the wood. The caning is in such good shape! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/326bb0b5-e958-43b8-a983-a2e6ff3f3e77/Week1Carousel_Thumbnail.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1712267898110-YX1XY353G3BOI8968YHH/20240404_203830858_iOS%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4ecd0393-da6c-4722-ad35-303756cc3d66/20240410_215115855_iOS.jpg https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/diy-ing-the-murphy-bed-one-room-challenge-week-5 monthly 0.5 2024-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a02875fd-995b-41de-a9e7-ada1496c3bfb/20240425_160552000_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/315ecfde-bf60-4b61-9d79-6f4012c6b3ac/20240425_160623000_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2b2cf441-be0e-4f99-854d-f8a7a54b2bc0/20240425_230435000_iOS.jpg Home - DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/93de1f72-cc3d-462d-850e-a3b4ff0ce188/20240423_233333380_iOS.jpg Home - DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/313d8f4d-094d-407b-9c24-976e79f92449/20240424_234708060_iOS.jpg Home - DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/77eb4c8f-1723-4d62-b075-88f1b1dd9af2/20240425_225738000_iOS.jpg Home - DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/8b2747bf-ee99-43ad-a4e7-69ae3c9c2f02/20240424_190421079_iOS+1%281%29.jpg Home - DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 5 - It’s Week 5 of the One Room Challenge! This week we finally started building the Murphy bed! We ordered the Murphy bed hardware kit from Amazon and the brand is @createabed – you can order directly from their site as well, but I thought it might be faster to order it from Amazon. They include a full cut list for building the box that houses the bedframe and mattress. The cut list was so helpful. It took a lot of the guesswork out and helped us to get started quickly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/95c74832-d569-4bf0-803d-6ec08bea274f/20240425_225514000_iOS.jpg Home - DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 5 - We want the Murphy bed and bookcases to go all the way to the ceiling in this room. We will finish them with crown molding and hopefully be able to take it throughout the rest of the room. I was hoping to find cabinets / bookcases that are readymade for this project. I have now abandoned this notion altogether. We went a few places and did some research and everything is made so cheaply that we just decided we would build them ourselves. We would like the bottoms to have doors and a drawer so there is quite a bit of hidden storage as well as places to display our treasures. To the right: Us using the leafblower to get all the sawdust off before going back in the house for a lunch break. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/326bb0b5-e958-43b8-a983-a2e6ff3f3e77/Week1Carousel_Thumbnail.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1712267898110-YX1XY353G3BOI8968YHH/20240404_203830858_iOS%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4ecd0393-da6c-4722-ad35-303756cc3d66/20240410_215115855_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/35edf5b2-c563-4c2a-a04f-66bed88f99c3/edit.png https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/still-diy-ing-the-murphy-bed-one-room-challenge-week-6 monthly 0.5 2024-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/57386169-4b8d-4955-b566-92aee048611a/20240502_172742000_iOS.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/b2609547-c3ae-45b3-ab2d-c364677494ca/T_WithoutZoom111.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 Emma Scalloped Drapery Panels https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9eda8bee-ab7d-4349-b0d4-90ea0720daa5/20240502_172134000_iOS.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 "Say hello to my little friends!!!" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/b2648451-827b-448c-8dcb-49acda9e48ec/20240502_172309000_iOS.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/12645e73-402a-4331-9c3a-495902a3e5e6/T_WithoutZoombbb.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 Suzanne Kasler Greek Key Bedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/63c7481b-7845-46ca-b51d-59b9b6eb352b/20240502_175930000_iOS.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 And yes—I am totally yawning in this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c8d9a2ae-b63f-474e-9c65-631046f9400e/T_WithoutZoom.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 Embroidered Square Trellis Panels https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/3ee6f35e-ab58-4ae2-8239-3aeeb2aafd6e/20240502_173651000_iOS.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/69345dcd-6305-402a-baee-faeb48d2b6d7/20240502_223033000_iOS.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 Looking good out there boys! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/771f20b9-0fdc-4ab3-adba-a3a8ae4d7ae9/20240502_173405000_iOS.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/fe06d147-d73b-4644-97df-abe80398933e/RH2.png Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 Lucarino Drawer Pull https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/042d7132-b3ec-4d14-9881-b8a5df0d140b/20240502_175558000_iOS.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 Even Coco found a way to have fun in here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a643ae45-7f4d-4b7d-8baa-09d466aa0cbf/20240502_174346000_iOS.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1d34cb69-f153-467d-a559-ecbbcf7ac0b7/ceiling.png Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 Casa Elite Ceiling Fan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ca20cefb-624b-48d5-8097-d1e3c2102219/curtainrod.png Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 Ivilon Drapery Treatment Window Curtain Rod https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ff5d8da4-d850-473c-87f7-c02c59a2fbcd/20240502_172523000_iOS.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/224a76d0-1bdd-427f-b69d-bee8579cc3a3/20240502_175910000_iOS.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 - We have definitely had a few setbacks in building this Murphy bed! Spending most of the weekend at Home Depot really set us back last week. This past weekend, our son came for the weekend to help Doug put out mulch so we only got to work on the bed together on Sunday. I’m not complaining though! A whole weekend with Matthew is rare since he’s living in Nashville and we had a great visit with him. And the diamond-studded silver lining is our flower beds are all weeded and mulched and look great for the spring and summer growing season! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/6491ce38-534c-428f-b75c-82a1dc55d72e/20240502_173319000_iOS.jpg Home - Still DIY-ing the Murphy Bed | One Room Challenge, Week 6 - Can you believe that once we have this bed built, we have to take it all apart to paint it? I guess it makes sense to do that so you don’t get paint on the hardware or mess up the fresh paint job but it seems counterproductive too. I’m hoping to start painting this week and then once the paint is dry we can put it back together and really see this room take shape! Next on my list is purchasing a queen size mattress from a local store. I also need to order curtains and bedding. I’m so ready to move on to the styling of this room! It’s going to be a sliding into home base kind of finish! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/326bb0b5-e958-43b8-a983-a2e6ff3f3e77/Week1Carousel_Thumbnail.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1712267898110-YX1XY353G3BOI8968YHH/20240404_203830858_iOS%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4ecd0393-da6c-4722-ad35-303756cc3d66/20240410_215115855_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/35edf5b2-c563-4c2a-a04f-66bed88f99c3/edit.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a07cfecf-0eea-4c35-a203-7d4eea74b175/20240424_190438485_iOS+1.jpg https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/the-murphy-bed-is-built-one-room-challenge-week-7 monthly 0.5 2024-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/dd5ae0f0-e389-4c87-a0f5-7a537c630f37/20240509_195350000_iOS.jpg Home - The Murphy Bed is Built!

| One Room Challenge, Week 7 - It’s Week 7 of the One Room Challenge and we have the Murphy bed built!!! We are starting to work on putting the trim on the front of the cabinet. I got the hardware for the cabinet and it’s beautiful! We still need to install the trim and paint everything and then we will be adding the hardware. Building this bed was really tough and time consuming. I believe the instruction booklet had 32 steps. Well guess what? There’s a whole separate instruction book for assembling the bed with another 20 steps. In between the building and assembly, all of the bed hardware had to be removed so we could sand, prime and paint everything. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0ba73cff-0618-48b0-88da-f106edcec824/20240509_203232000_iOS.jpg Home - The Murphy Bed is Built! | One Room Challenge, Week 7 - Look at us go! We’re the Murphy bed pit crew! Would you like to see my to do list? It’s a little nuts but I feel like the rest of the tasks are going to go pretty quickly (I hope). To Do List: Apply trim to Murphy bed Final coat of paint Install hardware to front of bed Install bed by anchoring to the wall Build built-in bookcases Install ceiling fan Clean up dropcloths and the room Roll out the rug Hang curtains Bring in the desk Hang artwork Style the room Photograph the room As you can see, my to do list is quite ambitious!

The first thing I want to say is that I am absolutely in love with this room! And the second thing is a confession...I’ll admit that I was slightly too ambitious to think we could completely transform this room in 8 weeks but then again, we totally did it, didn’t we?! Did I bite off more than “we” could chew?! Yes, I absolutely did! Doug wasn’t planning to spend April and May indoors working on a project like this! But, I absolutely couldn’t have done this project without Doug and honestly, Doug couldn’t have done this project without me! It was a team effort and I can’t tell you how many times I said “teamwork makes the dream work” while we were working on it. It’s true though! I was the mathematician, the instruction follower, the measuring queen and the steady board holder. I used a few power tools too but Doug was the engineer behind making sure that we were always working smarter not harder. He is a woodworking genius and he kept me from getting discouraged throughout the project. It feels good to build something together! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/713a8120-3556-41ac-93c3-dc719030493a/20240521_182813000_iOS.jpg Home - Room Reveal, Phase One | One Room Challenge, Week 8 - Neither of us thought it would take us an entire month to build this Murphy bed but it took every....... single........ waking....... moment that we were not at our full-time jobs or sleeping! We did manage to fit in a little fun though! We went to our first ever horse race on opening day at Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky. We also went to see Stevie Nicks in concert in Nashville and that was probably the best concert I’ve ever been to. She managed to make her concert in the vast Bridgestone Arena feel very intimate and personal. It was amazing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/e24c446b-7fa6-44e2-b189-9c62941a3a34/20240521_183317000_iOS.jpg Home - Room Reveal, Phase One | One Room Challenge, Week 8 - So, let’s talk about what we did this last week! It’s a little bit of a blur! We primed everything and then we had to stop and decide what time of decorative trim we wanted to add to the front of the face panels for the bed. I really wanted it to look like a gorgeous cabinet when closed so I chose a 2” rounded edge trim. I then set about to figure out the layout. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/326bb0b5-e958-43b8-a983-a2e6ff3f3e77/Week1Carousel_Thumbnail.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1712267898110-YX1XY353G3BOI8968YHH/20240404_203830858_iOS%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4ecd0393-da6c-4722-ad35-303756cc3d66/20240410_215115855_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/35edf5b2-c563-4c2a-a04f-66bed88f99c3/edit.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a07cfecf-0eea-4c35-a203-7d4eea74b175/20240424_190438485_iOS+1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c451d469-ec69-43ae-bdeb-ac045d2cfe60/20240502_174754000_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2eefe73a-1169-4e3c-b605-430ebeb52846/20240509_203430000_iOS.jpg https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/room-reveal-phase-one-one-room-challenge-week-8-4hbd9 monthly 0.5 2024-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/3de05655-2eed-4382-b128-a2b7d45e71f0/tuftandneedle.png Home - Week 547 | One Room Challenge Tuft & Needle Mattress https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/87fdc43f-ddec-4aa4-bfdf-3bb21652ee40/20240620_195432000_iOS.jpg Home - Week 547 | One Room Challenge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/eb2094bd-a823-4834-93aa-d04c91e96228/20240413_195603889_iOS.jpg Home - Week 547 | One Room Challenge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2a22ece1-3e1c-4cc0-8129-55e64b4cc7a1/quilt.png Home - Week 547 | One Room Challenge Belgian Flax Linen Floral Stitch Quilt & Shams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/87e5694a-0e9c-4d90-ac3a-f7eed7ba4f31/20240620_195502000_iOS.jpg Home - Week 547 | One Room Challenge Coco wanted to stay on this rug until the bitter end https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/12645e73-402a-4331-9c3a-495902a3e5e6/T_WithoutZoombbb.jpg Home - Week 547 | One Room Challenge Suzanne Kasler Greek Key Bedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/22fd0583-24a5-4985-b181-59b4a957bb4f/20240620_195514000_iOS.jpg Home - Week 547 | One Room Challenge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c8d9a2ae-b63f-474e-9c65-631046f9400e/T_WithoutZoom.jpg Home - Week 547 | One Room Challenge Embroidered Square Trellis Panels https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0aab6bba-8343-4f7d-a4ca-d99f592bee18/20240529_230002475_iOS.jpg Home - Week 547 | One Room Challenge We had to patch the wall here from the electrician moving the outlet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/dfb9f1fa-5e2b-4918-b87d-b2774fd88e81/lamp.png Home - Week 547 | One Room Challenge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/95733539-e650-4a5f-b05c-275179f0a064/20240620_195913000_iOS.jpg Home - Week 547 | One Room Challenge Cutting the carpet to place the base of the bookcase...I've been wanting to get rid of this carpet for years!

Redoing this room and building a Murphy bed in 8 weeks just about did me in. Doug and I worked every single day after work and all day every weekend. And when I say all day, I mean we didn’t knock off most nights until 8-9pm and then we still had to eat dinner. This isn’t a healthy way to live so if you’re doing that, stop it now! Have dinner when it’s still daytime and have a little downtime every night because your body needs it. How am I able to pass on such words of wisdom? I have been battling adrenal dysfunction this year. I was feeling better but guess what? Not so much right now. So, I’m having to baby myself a little and getting this room done is going to take a lot longer than anticipated. Plus, we have made a huge pivot in our plans that in the end will be amazing, but it slows the process down. Can you guess what it is?! Keep reading to the end! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/888c0f78-bc89-43c5-8775-36a948d27c4a/20240529_223330074_iOS.jpg Home - Week 547 | One Room Challenge - So after enjoying the room a few days all nice and pretty, we sadly tore it all down except for the Murphy bed. We started trying to figure out how to build these bookcases. Doug and I had different opinions on how they should look, but fortunately Doug listened to reason and is trusting my vision. (yes, we had some fairly aggressive negotiations!) When we started cutting boards for the base, we realized that the Murphy bed was slightly rotated. We needed to straighten it out but couldn’t because it’s tough to make tiny adjustments on carpet. So, this led to the dramatic change we decided on! We are getting this 30-year-old carpet ripped out and hardwood floors installed! It has been a little bit dramatic trying to figure out how to do this with the bed anchored to the wall but we think we have it worked out. I’ll update you again once we have the floors finished to let you know how we did it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/326bb0b5-e958-43b8-a983-a2e6ff3f3e77/Week1Carousel_Thumbnail.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1712267898110-YX1XY353G3BOI8968YHH/20240404_203830858_iOS%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4ecd0393-da6c-4722-ad35-303756cc3d66/20240410_215115855_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/35edf5b2-c563-4c2a-a04f-66bed88f99c3/edit.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a07cfecf-0eea-4c35-a203-7d4eea74b175/20240424_190438485_iOS+1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c451d469-ec69-43ae-bdeb-ac045d2cfe60/20240502_174754000_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2eefe73a-1169-4e3c-b605-430ebeb52846/20240509_203430000_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/b7f70982-dde8-4d5f-86d0-5fa45077c638/20240521_121933377_iOS+1%281%29.jpg https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/one-room-challenge-the-end-is-in-sight monthly 0.5 2024-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1206523d-48af-4bcc-b973-1b59a3135845/20240727_161005000_iOS.jpg Home - The End is in Sight!

| One Room Challenge - It's been almost 2 months since the grand reveal for the One Room Challenge which was Phase 1 of this project. We are still working on Phase 2 of this room. We now have hardwood floors and they look AMAZING! I’m so glad we chose to pivot slightly and give this time to happen. While they were working on the floors, we were busy little bees working on the bookcases. We have the bookcases built and they are ready to install now that the floors have fully cured. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c8c97c66-d662-4d21-95b9-3a55cacf935f/20240727_161623000_iOS.jpg Home - The End is in Sight! | One Room Challenge - We had to do a lot of reverse engineering to figure out how to put the bookcases together and the jury is still out on whether our plan worked. This part of the project has almost been harder than the first phase because there are no plans to go by. I do not want the bookcases to stick out further than the bed so there is a lot of math and calculations that have had to be figured out. Hopefully we’ve done that! I know it’s going to be fabulous either way! The darker green that I’ve painted on the wall is what will show when the bed is open. I have a special wainscoting and accent wall planned to add visual interest. You will not see green at all on that wall when the bed is closed. When the bed is open, ooh la la.....it’s going to be fabulous! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/326bb0b5-e958-43b8-a983-a2e6ff3f3e77/Week1Carousel_Thumbnail.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1712267898110-YX1XY353G3BOI8968YHH/20240404_203830858_iOS%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4ecd0393-da6c-4722-ad35-303756cc3d66/20240410_215115855_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/35edf5b2-c563-4c2a-a04f-66bed88f99c3/edit.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a07cfecf-0eea-4c35-a203-7d4eea74b175/20240424_190438485_iOS+1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c451d469-ec69-43ae-bdeb-ac045d2cfe60/20240502_174754000_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2eefe73a-1169-4e3c-b605-430ebeb52846/20240509_203430000_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/af7b5d0f-1819-4b94-b2ff-345a6d3bb63f/20240529_223330074_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/b7f70982-dde8-4d5f-86d0-5fa45077c638/20240521_121933377_iOS+1%281%29.jpg https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/fall-2024-one-room-challenge-diy-storage-room-makeover-into-office monthly 0.5 2024-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ecd29205-bab9-45fa-8ef7-e884565a58ad/20240413_195603889_iOS%282%29.jpg Home - DIY Storage Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ab7c77c2-15b5-46c0-9175-50866513931e/20240413_173210707_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - DIY Storage Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/6602670d-5f49-4fd8-b833-bcc1487fb3e4/20240328_210818413_iOS.jpg Home - DIY Storage Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 1 - The One Room Challenge is back for another season and we have decided to participate again! In the Spring One Room Challenge we were able to transform a very packed storage room into a guest room. We completed a Phase 1 room makeover by cleaning out the room, painting, moving electrical outlets around and building the Murphy bed. The cleaning and painting of the room took us 3 weeks and the Murphy bed took us 5 weeks to build! It was quite a challenge in and of itself. If you’d like to read about that, check out the previous posts, we have them all linked at the end of this post.

There had been something nagging at me the whole time we were going through the first challenge, which was that I really wished that we had put in hardwood floors. The carpet was old and had stains on it that wouldn’t come off. Once we got the bed installed, we realized one of the big stains was right in front of the bed. We thought it would be covered but we just weren’t that lucky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ce73bb6d-e785-4a1d-bad3-2d42a8e450e0/20240724_184826158_iOS.jpg Home - DIY Storage Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 1 - So we took the plunge and over the summer we were able to get hardwood floors installed and here’s a picture of them. Now that we have the floors installed, we are going to get busy building bookcases on either side of the Murphy bed. We had to take the bed out to have the hardwood floors installed so we plan to leave it out until the bookcases are roughed in so we have room to move around and work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/85047916-0b6e-4b5d-8733-497efe5e337b/ORC_Week1.png Home - DIY Storage Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/38ac1da1-2ad3-4a40-89f1-d65e5c1a8281/desknook.jpg Home - DIY Storage Room Makeover into Office/Guest Room in 8 Weeks | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 1 - There is also a small built-in desk in the room that Doug built when Matthew was little so he would have a workspace for homework. I’m planning to keep the desk as is and use another chair we found at Marigold Vintage that is really cool. It just needs a little makeover and it will be fabulous at the small desk. The small desk will be a great place for guests to place their things and I plan to install a television on the wall so that I can have pretty art on it while I’m working. I’m dreaming of that YouTube channel where you can have a fireplace roaring. It will also be great for our guests to have a tv in their room. The tv is at the perfect spot to view from the Murphy bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/326bb0b5-e958-43b8-a983-a2e6ff3f3e77/Week1Carousel_Thumbnail.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1712267898110-YX1XY353G3BOI8968YHH/20240404_203830858_iOS%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4ecd0393-da6c-4722-ad35-303756cc3d66/20240410_215115855_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/35edf5b2-c563-4c2a-a04f-66bed88f99c3/edit.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a07cfecf-0eea-4c35-a203-7d4eea74b175/20240424_190438485_iOS+1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c451d469-ec69-43ae-bdeb-ac045d2cfe60/20240502_174754000_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2eefe73a-1169-4e3c-b605-430ebeb52846/20240509_203430000_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/af7b5d0f-1819-4b94-b2ff-345a6d3bb63f/20240529_223330074_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/b7f70982-dde8-4d5f-86d0-5fa45077c638/20240521_121933377_iOS+1%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5e6213bb-9d20-4369-a91e-1dc760bb76ad/20240722_232316121_iOS+1.jpg https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/building-the-bookcases-fall-2024-one-room-challenge monthly 0.5 2024-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/b063173d-6534-44f8-8322-b6be86a0bf2c/20240529_223330074_iOS%282%29.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0234e753-3f2e-4859-abea-2ff92423e814/20240727_160239000_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/eed623a3-aa55-4872-b94b-158e9791828f/20240724_132256525_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/8a5209d3-36b7-4f48-9755-143c86863d8b/20240620_200313000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/54ab6a00-3edd-4485-b721-37f8890b8ecb/20240727_160656000_iOS+3.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/cdb74cc8-cab7-4062-87ee-574dbc332358/20240724_132336198_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/65290153-82d8-4858-bc51-e8d8547b7ec1/20240609_235724778_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5d1ae4a7-7715-4d6f-9b66-1254f81bd9fc/20240727_160905000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/66e73b22-a3c3-4a0d-bd86-eff8632769b9/20240724_184826158_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/6ba4790b-722b-440d-8d8a-6f507e35f152/20240609_212239845_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/da18e4fd-fe3d-46a6-bef8-14f2c60026c2/20240726_221711043_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/025beb64-c7e9-4766-840e-2afb48dca1f0/20240727_161623000_iOS_TshirtEdit.png Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/644d7c7c-1841-4001-a56a-7225440b8110/20240620_201426000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 - It’s Week 2 of the One Room Challenge and we have a great start on these bookcases! A little backstory: once we cleared out the room, we started roughing in the bases of the bookcases. We started trying to build these bases before we got the wood floors put in but quickly realized that building on top of carpet just wasn’t going to work. We then cut the carpet just where the bookcases would be and thought that when we decided what floors we want down the road (new carpet vs. wood), it would be easy to install. Well scratch that needle across the record now. We attempted putting those bases in and couldn’t get a level surface even with the carpet out. The bed was sitting slightly at an angle and there was just no way we would ever be able to build square, level, sound bookcases if we started with everything being off. The big reason for this is that the sides of the bed were the only thing resting on the carpet and we couldn’t get the bed in the spot perfectly straight, even with it bolted to the wall. The walls aren’t square either (go figure)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a0b422fe-a12d-4bf8-8b85-fe084538c8f9/20240713_002148764_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 - We decided to halt everything and get some estimates on flooring. We looked at putting in a laminate that would match the luxury vinyl planks we have in the main bathroom across the hall. You guessed it.....discontinued! Well, anything else was just going to look cheap so we decided it was going to have to be carpet or wood. If we did carpet, we would need to do the entire upstairs, the stairs and living room all at once and we do not have the budget for that right now (many thousands of dollars). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ce73bb6d-e785-4a1d-bad3-2d42a8e450e0/20240724_184826158_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 - So we took the plunge and over the summer we were able to get hardwood floors installed and here’s a picture of them. Now that we have the floors installed, we are going to get busy building bookcases on either side of the Murphy bed. We had to take the bed out to have the hardwood floors installed so we plan to leave it out until the bookcases are roughed in so we have room to move around and work. I called a hardwood company and they gave us an estimate of that was less than $2,000. Now THAT we could swing, so we decided to go for it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0923a226-6b86-46a2-ae13-a7453068365a/20240713_153250070_iOS+2.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 - Pro Tip: I always recommend getting three estimates when you are doing a job like this. We went with the first company because we’ve used them before and trusted their work. If we had no experience, we would have gotten 3 estimates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5aa14309-601e-4449-ab56-89a9bd9cf3f7/20240727_170738000_iOS_Tshirt.png Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 1 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/85047916-0b6e-4b5d-8733-497efe5e337b/ORC_Week1.png https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/building-the-bookcases-part-2-fall-2024-one-room-challenge-saybj monthly 0.5 2024-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1728606026669-IYXFE0L4C7GZVBA03K50/20241010_174357000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1728606635938-IF5QW5ZBE0KMP7BVCHD6/20241010_191357000_iOS%25281%2529.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1728606847397-KP6C4I8W8DC5CAFQWZ67/20241010_201751000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c905c337-0a31-4832-b741-2a2ed6338e8a/boseearbuds.png Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Earbuds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1728606315734-Q2MTLUMU0R266QBDE674/20241010_174458000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1728606649322-FV0JJU80COR2X0UL2MZM/20241010_191453000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1728606857998-GA3FZM94YXJNTYA06DHL/20241010_202324000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1e206d7c-244c-4fa6-865c-5892dc93222b/saw.png Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 Japanese Hand Saw https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1728606338951-DYJXMX6ZTZMPGUMQVTUY/20241010_174600000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1728606676595-3JGY4TU9F7B8K7T587G2/20241010_191501000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/531841ed-464d-4faa-bdf5-2f3e2e491731/vinegar.png Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 White Vinegar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/40d0efc4-68b5-47f0-af7c-958dcd6b85e5/sandpaper.png Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 Sanding Sponge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/8b669c9a-94aa-4ef5-9029-20d299040674/aluminumtin.png Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 Aluminum Mini Disposable Loaf Pans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7aa62435-6870-4344-ad55-d737304949fc/paintroller.png Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 Mister Rui Foam Paint Roller https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/aa5788ff-5740-4c8d-a7f4-e8a4673a6597/rosinroll.png Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 Brown Paper Roll https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5b627b4a-3986-4155-8f99-74d6a6d1fa62/frog+tape.png Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 Frog Tape https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/03d3eaa6-a654-4b7e-b45d-5080c6423e73/kraftroll.png Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 Brown Kraft Paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/870bca6b-1654-416c-9528-a45198115db7/20240825_205057573_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 - It’s Week 3 of the Fall One Room Challenge and we are still working on these bookcases! It is definitely going to be the most challenging part of the project for us. This week we (mostly me) pined over the details. Doug focuses on the structure and I focus on the pretty parts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/71345e5c-33b3-4ea5-b090-9b2151e8e534/20241010_175054000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 - Pro Tip: We like to hook the vacuum up any time we are sawing or drilling inside the house. It keeps the work area free from sawdust and debris! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0808439e-61db-4260-9d77-b1c59902cfa8/20241010_201427000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 - Now we were ready to lightly sand the bookcases. Once sanding was done, I wiped everything down with distilled white vinegar. This is another pro tip given to me by our cabinet maker. It cleans the surface and removes any debris, so you have a nice finish when painting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/f9c467b7-b864-4f77-9655-14bd14f3586b/20241010_202530000_iOS.jpg Home - Building the Bookcases, Part 2 | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 3 - We then prepped the room for painting which if you’ve ever done this before, you’ll know that it takes quite a bit of time! Like an insane amount of time! We wanted to protect the ceiling, floors, windows and the walls we just painted! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/85047916-0b6e-4b5d-8733-497efe5e337b/ORC_Week1.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1727997903681-Y94EQF79X7RN6YK7KLKP/20240727_161226000_iOS+1.jpg https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/finishing-the-bookcases-fall-2024-one-room-challenge monthly 0.5 2024-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1729207617052-6R5P41MYIZOGM6I0FOGK/20241017_211305000_iOS.jpg Home -

Finishing the Bookcases | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 4 - It’s Week 4 of the Fall One Room Challenge and we are making such good progress! Once all the priming and sanding was done, we were ready for the first coat of paint! We have a paint sprayer but we have never used it indoors. We were both a little nervous but decided to give it a try. We spent a lot of time protecting the ceiling, floors and walls before starting this venture! There is a lot of prep that goes into a project like this! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/299fc635-1b36-4a99-b451-4887906578c4/20241017_212704000_iOS.jpg Home - Finishing the Bookcases | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 4 - We then got immediately busy building the face frames for the bookcases and this had to be made to order so they close any gaps between the bookcases and the wall and on the side shared with the Murphy bed. We still need to add a second coat of paint once we get the face framing attached. I plan to use my tried-and-true method of hand painting it. It will take more time, but it will also be easier to control, with less drips and overspray. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0e8579ca-9ba9-41e1-960f-fb43a761011b/20240908_184209870_iOS.jpg Home -

It’s Week 5 of the Fall One Room Challenge and we are getting into some of the details now. Since we brought the Murphy bed back in we decided it was time to call the electricians back and have them install the ceiling fan and new outlets and switches. I also had them add an outlet for the TV that we will be putting in the nook across from the Murphy bed. Here’s a great shot of the new ceiling fan and you can see the outlets are in the bookcases and all around the room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/85047916-0b6e-4b5d-8733-497efe5e337b/ORC_Week1.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1727997903681-Y94EQF79X7RN6YK7KLKP/20240727_161226000_iOS+1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/6ad04641-2714-43f4-9dc3-cbee7d8b945b/20240831_205150451_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c0524b27-b704-4edf-9099-fe99a9872ae0/20240908_184209870_iOS.jpg https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/making-the-bookshelves-fall-2024-one-room-challenge monthly 0.5 2024-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9e1eae28-1a9a-4d6c-b4f8-b38a69be2f60/paintgun.png Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 Paint Spray Gun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1730574026861-YX5RYZOR38B8C8RWO27V/20240413_195603889_iOS%25283%2529.jpg Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1730576935922-GOCP9WMWN8MSJAZ3QJ6F/20241102_192929000_iOS.jpg Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a48d9814-19ce-4efb-8cf1-c5affe5acb40/brush.png Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 Wooster Brush https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1730574036454-Z438B5HZFN3BGDUYL0S7/20240609_192019614_iOS.jpg Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1730575718786-I08N5RSWCG4AHYUGDIFS/20241102_175804000_iOS.jpg Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c905c337-0a31-4832-b741-2a2ed6338e8a/boseearbuds.png Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Earbuds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1730574066736-XQL1XUMREDJNZ5LMON77/20241027_180231960_iOS.jpg Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1730575731837-7NN4RROTDB9Q0L8RT7PE/20241102_175941000_iOS.jpg Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1730574078451-SCO9P5T52WQGYJUY979G/20241027_182915846_iOS.jpg Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1e206d7c-244c-4fa6-865c-5892dc93222b/saw.png Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 Saw https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/40d0efc4-68b5-47f0-af7c-958dcd6b85e5/sandpaper.png Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 Sanding Sponge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/8b669c9a-94aa-4ef5-9029-20d299040674/aluminumtin.png Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 Aluminum Mini Disposable Loaf Pans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7aa62435-6870-4344-ad55-d737304949fc/paintroller.png Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 Mister Rui Foam Paint Roller https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/aa5788ff-5740-4c8d-a7f4-e8a4673a6597/rosinroll.png Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 Brown Paper Roll https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5b627b4a-3986-4155-8f99-74d6a6d1fa62/frog+tape.png Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 Frog Tape https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/03d3eaa6-a654-4b7e-b45d-5080c6423e73/kraftroll.png Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 Brown Kraft Paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/531841ed-464d-4faa-bdf5-2f3e2e491731/vinegar.png Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 White Vinegar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ab050bec-7deb-402b-b1f4-5af540e7b28a/Gap+Fix3.png Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 - It’s Week 6 of the Fall One Room Challenge and we are on the home stretch! This week it appears that our progress has slowed but we actually got a lot done. One little project was fixing a mistake at the bookcase bottom/counter on top of the lower drawers. When we cut those pieces, we were not taking into account that they needed to be a little wider than the top and the bottom to close in the gaps. We came up with a solution though. We had practiced using the router on a 2x4 so we sliced a few pieces to use as filler pieces and attached them to the top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7667977f-be37-43b6-bc61-3dbbd7fe9660/20241027_195725698_iOS.jpg Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 - While I worked on painting, Doug started stripping the finish off the little side chair that we are going to use in this room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/d4d222bd-3733-402b-8a50-25a344b969c3/20241031_201023095_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Making the Bookshelves | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 6 - Then our cabinet maker came in and installed the doors and drawers for us. We had a little bit of an issue though. The doors and drawers do not line up. Yikes – I'm one of those people that that is ALL I’ll see if we don’t fix this. Fortunately, he is going to be able to make some adjustments and wrap that up in about a week. There is another small issue with some of the trim pieces but I think it’s all workable. Whew – it was a little stressful!!!! It’s is so hard to trust that someone else understands your vision. In this case, there were some miscommunications, but we will get it worked out. It made me wish that we would have just built these pieces ourselves. But, what’s done is done and we just have to move forward. Things are looking so good though! We are still waiting for some of the hardware to arrive but hopefully it will be here next week. If you haven’t checked out the other participants’ projects yet, please go to the One Room Challenge blog and see what others have done! There are so many great projects out there and it will be exciting to watch these projects come together! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/85047916-0b6e-4b5d-8733-497efe5e337b/ORC_Week1.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1727997903681-Y94EQF79X7RN6YK7KLKP/20240727_161226000_iOS+1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/6ad04641-2714-43f4-9dc3-cbee7d8b945b/20240831_205150451_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/d5d90bea-a6c6-4c1f-8ad8-09b085e5a6f2/20240908_184209870_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/51d9c31a-4a67-499a-afcd-a6e059513a31/20240926_203941672_iOS.jpg https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/refinishing-the-chair-and-desk-fall-2024-one-room-challenge monthly 0.5 2024-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a80fd8ab-f3ad-45e4-91bd-a031b9593c1f/20241110_181845848_iOS.jpg Home - Refinishing the Chair and Desk | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 7 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7392d6d0-f22a-4040-ba22-909ccdd5ceaf/tv.png Home - Refinishing the Chair and Desk | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 7 TV https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1731279749195-H5UKON64YD8Q09QW3CIH/20241110_213653000_iOS.jpg Home - Refinishing the Chair and Desk | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 7 See how much brighter the left door is with a fresh coat of paint?!

This week we are focused on getting the mid-century modern chair and desk refinished. Doug was out of town last week and so I worked on painting as much as possible after work every day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/eb66878a-4c52-4401-a76f-81248d3941cc/20241109_210309727_iOS.jpg Home - Refinishing the Chair and Desk | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 7 - Now, on to these cool vintage pieces we are going to use in the room. Doug stripped the mid-century modern chair before he left town, but I didn’t have time to stain it while he was out of town so he took care of that when he got home. We went back and forth on what stain to use and if we even wanted to stain it. The chair had a deep color about it without a finish on it, but it looked like it was going to pull orange and I didn’t want that at all. We ended up using Dark Walnut Minwax stain. As soon as Doug started to apply the stain I could tell the color was going to be great. There were a few places that didn’t take the stain very well so Doug sanded those spots a little more and re-stained. We think it looks great now and so he went ahead and applied the polyurethane. He added another coat while I continued painting the doors and the baseboard in the closet. Now that feels like a bit of a waste of time, but if you’re going to paint the trim, you might as well do it right, you know? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7592cad9-d622-4f6c-bcb7-917807a8b078/20241110_181931318_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Refinishing the Chair and Desk | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 7 - While I put the final coat of paint on the shelves, Doug started sanding the desk. A little story about the desk. It is a library table with two drawers and measures 72x34” - it’s going to be a good-sized desk for me! When we found the library table, the owner of Marigold Vintage told me that it came from Ford Motor Company and sure enough, there is a brass plate on the bottom of the desk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0dfd231c-7221-4061-8011-77c9ed8fad89/20241106_193605229_iOS.jpg Home - Refinishing the Chair and Desk | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 7 - Okay, after making that list, we actually have a WHOLE LOT more to do!

| Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 8 - Let’s start with what we’ve done this past week! We have painted all the doors and put the final coat on the shelves. Our cabinet maker came back with brand new doors and drawers and this time, they are perfect! The cabinet style is now cohesive with the Murphy bed, and we are tickled with it! Once the cabinet maker was finished, I was able to put the final coat on the actual bookcases and touch up a few areas. I also had to touch up the wall where I kept bumping it with the bookcase paint (man did I get frustrated with myself because I did it like 4 freaking times)!!! That’s what I get for holding a paintbrush and paint roller at the same time! After finishing all the paint touch ups, I caulked the sides of the bookcase that were next to the wall. Wow – it’s looking so good! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/16519e81-c9b4-46e4-9598-295cfd89207c/20241119_140612000_iOS.jpg Home - The Big Reveal! | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 8 - We then hung up our curtain rods. I had to do a thunder run to pick up drapery hooks and I hung up these beautiful curtains from Ballard Designs. Oh my – this is my favorite part of the project – getting to finally style the room! These curtains still need to be trained. I barely got them out of the package in time for these pictures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7c896438-1665-41e0-bffe-9f0fcac8225a/20241119_214003808_iOS_v002.jpg Home - The Big Reveal! | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0b50a794-09c3-4562-84cb-1d8c11ded5d2/20241119_214017400_iOS_v002.jpg Home - The Big Reveal! | Fall 2024 One Room Challenge, Week 8 - We still need to attach the baseboards and add shoe molding. There are a few little diys that I have planned for this room that I didn’t get to, but be sure to follow me on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and Pinterest so you don’t miss those!

I've Had my Pottery Barn Sofas for 2 Years—Here's How They're Holding Up - Since we got these sofas, we’ve had 2 small incidents. The first involved a certain hubby plopping on the couch with a glass of red wine in his hand. And yes, he truly plopped! The next day, I saw a spray of red wine on the couch. I got a damp white cloth and blotted at the stain, and it just immediately came up. Poof – it was gone! It amazed me. The other incident was when I sat on the couch with my sneakers on and crossed my feet at the ankles. The sole of my shoe hit the bottom of the couch and left a dirty smudge. I didn’t notice it until the next day. I lightly thumped the fabric next to the stain and some of the dirt fell out. I then used a damp white cloth and lightly rubbed over the stain, and it disappeared. These performance fabrics are true to their word – they perform beautifully! I did an extensive test before I made my final decision and was really happy with how everything came out so easily, you can check that out here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/58fb7b07-8cbe-4e7a-8985-7b1dd623913b/20250128_204415933_iOS.jpg Home - I've Had my Pottery Barn Sofas for 2 Years—Here's How They're Holding Up - Next, let’s talk about wear and tear. We have a super sweet and playful kitty that loves to jump on the couch. He only has his back claws and even with all of his running and jumping, the fabric does not pull. The cushions that we sit on the most have a little bit of an indentation where we sit but can be easily fluffed back up. The arms of the sofa still look brand new. I worried that oils from our skin could stain the arm rests, but that has not happened at all. They still look brand new. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/e02b6133-d912-4367-b06a-b9e11aed9c4b/back+of+couch.jpg Home - I've Had my Pottery Barn Sofas for 2 Years—Here's How They're Holding Up - Coconut likes to “scratch” one corner of the couch. Even though he doesn’t have his claws, the potential for one area of the fabric looking worn or dirty in that spot is high. I caught him in the act today and this spot still looks brand new despite his antics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9da5af87-23e9-46d5-ab1d-76c8ba3fa579/20250201_190128312_iOS.jpg Home - I've Had my Pottery Barn Sofas for 2 Years—Here's How They're Holding Up - I’m sure it will come as no surprise that we sit on the sofa that faces the television the most. Since we sit on one sofa more than the other, I have been switching out the cushions approximately every 6 months, so the cushions wear evenly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c38eca7f-7856-4247-9f66-f610f9fe8861/img106xl.jpg Home - I've Had my Pottery Barn Sofas for 2 Years—Here's How They're Holding Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ad6efc86-f963-42d7-9705-6ae160915017/20231028_202259596_iOS.jpg Home - I've Had my Pottery Barn Sofas for 2 Years—Here's How They're Holding Up Pottery Barn Performance Fabrics Test https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/02180c51-138f-46ae-a598-4b32b5d7321a/20240112_162410516_iOS.jpg Home - I've Had my Pottery Barn Sofas for 2 Years—Here's How They're Holding Up How I Selected My Pottery Barn Sofa https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/everything-you-need-to-know-about-diying-a-murphy-bed-more-a-create-a-bed-review monthly 0.5 2026-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/f0ef9ef0-954f-4a2b-a5f9-b03283aa7a0c/20240425_230435000_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Everything You Need to Know About DIY-ing a Murphy Bed & More (A Create-A-Bed Review) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/e7867380-8c2e-4446-a7fc-f095a226cb99/20240502_173420000_iOS.jpg Home - Everything You Need to Know About DIY-ing a Murphy Bed & More (A Create-A-Bed Review) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0dafcc7c-49ca-4f21-9716-8dee4605a6a8/20240502_173138000_iOS.jpg Home - Everything You Need to Know About DIY-ing a Murphy Bed & More (A Create-A-Bed Review) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9815e1f5-6bb5-46f7-a12b-537fb71f09a6/photo_2024-03-28_16-57-16.jpg Home - Everything You Need to Know About DIY-ing a Murphy Bed & More (A Create-A-Bed Review) - Doug and I had talked several times about building a Murphy bed in an unused bedroom. The bedroom was being used as storage and it was out of control. We kept the door shut all the time so we didn’t have to look at it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/fa86266e-df15-4076-9cde-6c0ee675e8fe/20240502_173405000_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Everything You Need to Know About DIY-ing a Murphy Bed & More (A Create-A-Bed Review) - When I heard that it was time to sign up for the One Room Challenge, I told Doug I thought we should build a Murphy bed for the challenge. He was mostly on board. Now, when I say that this is what I mean: Doug is the most supportive husband you could ever dream of. He supports me and cheers me on in any and everything I try to do. This challenge though? It’s 8 weeks long and building a Murphy bed in 8 weeks sounded a little daunting. Let me tell you.....it was! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4882f60d-03ec-4169-aaa9-a075a2be3073/81XC8KfoqhL._AC_SL1500_.jpg Home - Everything You Need to Know About DIY-ing a Murphy Bed & More (A Create-A-Bed Review) - While researching Murphy bed kits, the one that stood out to me was the Create-A-Bed kit. They have been in business since 1985 and their reviews are fantastic! I reviewed their website and also Pinterest for a style of bed I wanted for this room. The hardware kit comes with a lifetime warranty and they really stand behind the quality of their kits. A full set of instructions comes with the kit and we followed them precisely to build our bed. It truly is a step-by-step process with diagrams and all the instructions and measurements you need to build a solid Murphy bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c384b8d9-0893-4b9d-840c-d73041b36a52/20240504_211603801_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Everything You Need to Know About DIY-ing a Murphy Bed & More (A Create-A-Bed Review) - Once we had all of the pieces cut, which took us about 2 days, we were ready to start assembling the bed. We set up a workstation in the room so we could assemble the bed. This is where the instructions are so important. The steps need to be followed in order and you have to use the right size screws, etc. It was time consuming. We worked on the weekends and worked during the week an hour or two every night to get the bed built in the 8 weeks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2951ea52-3266-4b7d-8196-ad697fd69ce2/20240521_191528000_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - Everything You Need to Know About DIY-ing a Murphy Bed & More (A Create-A-Bed Review) - We had one small hiccup when assembling the bed when we used a very special screw in the wrong place. We thought that we may not have enough of the special screws so I called Create-A-Bed to ask for more screws. I talked to this very nice gentleman named Aaron. He asked me to text him photos of the screws we had left and he wanted to see pictures of where we were in the build process. Aaron calculated how many screws were left and assured me that we had plenty to finish the project. He then gave me some insider tips on how to finish off the bed, add trim, etc. I really can’t say enough good things about this company! Everything worked so great and we are thrilled with the result! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/326bb0b5-e958-43b8-a983-a2e6ff3f3e77/Week1Carousel_Thumbnail.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1712267898110-YX1XY353G3BOI8968YHH/20240404_203830858_iOS%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4ecd0393-da6c-4722-ad35-303756cc3d66/20240410_215115855_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/35edf5b2-c563-4c2a-a04f-66bed88f99c3/edit.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a07cfecf-0eea-4c35-a203-7d4eea74b175/20240424_190438485_iOS+1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c451d469-ec69-43ae-bdeb-ac045d2cfe60/20240502_174754000_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2eefe73a-1169-4e3c-b605-430ebeb52846/20240509_203430000_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/af7b5d0f-1819-4b94-b2ff-345a6d3bb63f/20240529_223330074_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/b7f70982-dde8-4d5f-86d0-5fa45077c638/20240521_121933377_iOS+1%281%29.jpg https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/how-to-style-bookcases-like-a-pro monthly 0.5 2025-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/d59a28ef-7aa4-4027-97e2-d05f33401946/20250111_203526841_iOS.jpg Home -

How to Style Bookcases Like A Pro - When you see those beautifully styled bookcases that look effortlessly designed, I can promise you that it didn’t just happen. There was some serious thought and planning that went into it. For my Murphy bed/home office, I wanted to create a calm and peaceful oasis for our guests, but also for my work from home days. The wall color is Acacia Haze which is a gorgeous soothing grayish green that pairs so nicely with other shades of green and blue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/31616e6c-50d6-4b8a-97b1-770040916b0c/20250118_235618272_iOS.jpg Home - How to Style Bookcases Like A Pro - Bookshelves tell more than just stories – they hold memories, treasures and little pieces of our lives. That’s one reason why I love antiquing and thrifting so much. It’s the thrill of the hunt for me. When I find a piece that reminds me of something in my childhood or a place or a person, I want to get it. It’s also about who I’m with when I’m thrifting. I will remember that I was with Doug or one of my kids or my sister. It makes the piece even more special to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c944dabc-cb6b-4991-84db-429ae7b09f11/20250221_131007846_iOS.jpg Home - How to Style Bookcases Like A Pro - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/42611334-7e58-4c81-a1d5-b171523e759e/20250221_131439621_iOS.jpg Home - How to Style Bookcases Like A Pro - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2c0c5d82-6cdb-4c39-b5e3-0f47b51716f8/quiltbanner_v4.jpg Home - How to Style Bookcases Like A Pro Hawaiian Quilts for my Kentucky Living Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/04914f1d-5b09-4b73-83e6-81f91bc1f8fe/gdsag.jpg Home - How to Style Bookcases Like A Pro How to Make a Unique Vintage Plate Gallery Wall https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/my-top-10-painting-tips-for-the-do-it-yourself-er monthly 0.5 2025-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9e1eae28-1a9a-4d6c-b4f8-b38a69be2f60/paintgun.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Paint Spray Gun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a48d9814-19ce-4efb-8cf1-c5affe5acb40/brush.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Wooster Brush https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c905c337-0a31-4832-b741-2a2ed6338e8a/boseearbuds.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Earbuds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/531841ed-464d-4faa-bdf5-2f3e2e491731/vinegar.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er White Vinegar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/40d0efc4-68b5-47f0-af7c-958dcd6b85e5/sandpaper.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Sanding Sponge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7aa62435-6870-4344-ad55-d737304949fc/paintroller.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Mister Rui Foam Paint Roller https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/aa5788ff-5740-4c8d-a7f4-e8a4673a6597/rosinroll.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Brown Paper Roll https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5b627b4a-3986-4155-8f99-74d6a6d1fa62/frog+tape.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Frog Tape https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/03d3eaa6-a654-4b7e-b45d-5080c6423e73/kraftroll.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Brown Kraft Paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/d6420143-d1c2-4c16-b4a9-bad09ba9fc66/canvas.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Canvas Drop Cloth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/b17f7b4f-49d2-4e7d-87a3-5be47e715c07/aluminum.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Disposable Aluminum Pans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5965c3c5-e2cb-4ed1-965c-dabf0d9c8f07/spackle.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er DryDex Heavyweight Spackling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ed268a24-94fe-42d9-8f89-70f96617d5e8/putty+knife.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/fdfe3528-ac96-4df1-80af-721706804c47/kilz.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Kilz Interior Primer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/6954c8ac-def8-44ab-986d-42c9fb9fab55/plastic+drop+cloth.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Plastic Painter's Drop Cloth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/fa0d102b-dddc-460c-adbd-841174c78b74/paint+samples.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Paint Samples https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5fba0516-9660-4f8a-9a26-e061c9e7fd67/benji+moore.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Benjamin Moore Paint https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9cde08f7-89d5-4075-9b2a-189cc5961032/press+and+seal.png Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er Press N Seal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/49e34364-a4ca-4395-a62a-62ef973384a5/20250227_002728000_iOS.jpg Home - My Top 10 Painting Tips for the Do It Yourself-er - We painted the foyer one time by ourselves and swore we would never do it again. Doug got up on a ladder and did the cutting in (not his forte) and I used an extension rod to roll it. It was a very tough job and we didn’t have the proper equipment to do it safely. Doug is a little crazy though.....I mean adventurous (as a former paratrooper – anyone that can voluntarily jump out of an airplane is beyond adventurous (and a little crazy), in my opinion)! He got on that ladder and painted the crown molding at our 18 ft ceilings with no rope or safety equipment. Fortunately, no accidents happened but we vowed that we would never do it again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0e17e1aa-d08a-471e-b67e-d97645e55370/20241017_211305000_iOS.jpg Home -

Vintage Military-Inspired Office: Phase 2 | One Room Challenge, Week 1 - Once we painted the room and put in the chair rail, which I also painted the wall color, everything came to a screeching halt for me. I didn’t like the way it looked. The wall color is fairly dark and moody which I think will look great with his military accessories, but with the chair rail being dark too, it just did nothing for me. Since this room is on the north facing side of the house, it does seem a little too dark in there. Doug thinks the room is too dark for him so I started scheming ways to lighten it up without having to repaint the room. I decided to paint the chair rail and below the same color as the trim, a soft white. As we start Phase 2 of the One Room Challenge, I still have a little painting to do. Once the painting is finished and the picture frame trim installed, I’ll start working on the accessories that I plan to DIY for this project. We also have a furniture flip planned and a few more fun projects up my sleeve. My goal is to have this room ready for Doug to work in by the end of the challenge and also have it ready for guests for the holidays. We want to still have plenty of room for our family at the holidays so we are making sure we can still use this room as a guest room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/f352255c-4268-4c6d-94ea-cc19bfcd5127/Office+Mockup+-+Fall+Version.png Home -

Painting and Thrifting | One Room Challenge, Week 2 - The other big thing we did this week is take a little break from working and went on a little thrifting adventure! One of our favorite places to go thrifting is Bright’s Antique World in Franklin, Kentucky. There is so much to choose from and the way the store is laid out is just fun and inviting. During the “ber” months, they host a Vintage Market twice a month and open their extra buildings to vendors selling their wares. It’s kind of like a big yard sale or craft show. Each vendor is set up with their specialty. We saw Christmas shops, Halloween shops, a vintage radio shop, etc. It was very cool! Since we have been wanting to go on one of their Vintage Market days, we decided to put down the paint gear and do a little thrifting! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/f2b55be1-ef03-4849-86f3-62639e00b080/Paratpooper.png Home - Painting and Thrifting | One Room Challenge, Week 2 - Make it stand out That’s supposed to say “Paratrooper” lol!

Planning Molding Placement | One Room Challenge, Week 4 - I love the way it’s looking! An added bonus is that getting all of these frames on the wall really helped to clean up the room! Now we need to install them. There are a few places where we’ll either have to change the size of our outlet covers or trim out around the outlet cover to make it look more finished. We could adjust the spacing but I think it looks nice as is and so we’ll adjust the outlet cover instead. I wish I would have known this when the electricians were here adding outlets and installing the new lights because I probably would have moved the outlets a bit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/46e1c28d-781f-4221-b41d-b80eaea34a1a/IMG_0312.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/099d3196-4c82-4d8c-ae25-ef127aa0044f/IMG_0150.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a88a6ea2-6c12-4491-a015-6fac57c49415/Office+Mockup+-+Fall+Version+-+No+Logo.png https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/installing-the-picture-frame-molding-one-room-challenge-week-5-week-6 monthly 0.5 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/317ffd57-2417-493f-bef6-12eb7cd9b244/48800881.png Home -

Installing the Picture Frame Molding | One Room Challenge, Weeks 5 & 6 - Doug had made me a jig so I’d have the right spacing, I just had to kind of start in the middle of the wall where the outlets were to get it to work out for me. After getting everything just right, I spent the time to find the studs and mark each frame so we could put a nail in the right spot. I decided to use painter’s tape to mark the spot. The next day when Doug was home, we set up the compressor and used the nail gun to install the picture frame molding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7f092825-d42e-4617-8c18-561b54a6c426/photo_2025-10-20_18-30-21.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/46e1c28d-781f-4221-b41d-b80eaea34a1a/IMG_0312.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/099d3196-4c82-4d8c-ae25-ef127aa0044f/IMG_0150.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a88a6ea2-6c12-4491-a015-6fac57c49415/Office+Mockup+-+Fall+Version+-+No+Logo.png https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/finishing-the-molding-and-other-fun-stuff-one-room-challenge-week-7 monthly 0.5 2025-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a29dfd68-5443-4e56-873a-3c6df71476c8/IMG_1169.JPG Home -

Approaching the Finish Line | One Room Challenge, Week 8 - It’s Week 8 of the Fall 2025 One Room Challenge and it’s time to reveal all our hard work! This season has been a huge challenge for us because of time constraints. We still have a punch list of things to do and things to buy. When I look at the before pictures though, I think we have come so far and the room has had quite an impressive makeover! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0000cac9-9de5-4abf-a93e-8a48793e0ccd/20251123_174812000_iOS+1.png Home - Approaching the Finish Line | One Room Challenge, Week 8 - This week, we finished up the last bit of trim that we had to do and custom fit the last piece of picture frame molding. I also caulked everything which with this much trim, was quite the undertaking! It truly is the difference between an amateur diy job and a professional finish though. The 2 days I spent caulking were totally worth it. I’ll link the exact caulk I used and the special tools I used this time to make this job go quicker and easier. Truly, anyone can do it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1f90ad33-f8dc-417b-83e1-df6dddb7cc87/20251123_180017000_iOS+1.png Home - Approaching the Finish Line | One Room Challenge, Week 8 - Once we took up the drop cloths and protective paper, we were so excited to see how the floors look with the wainscoting and wall color! It’s amazing! We did a quick cleanup of the floors and rolled out the new rug. For this room, I chose the Chris Loves Julia x Loloi Jules rug in Terra Cotta. It plays so well with the wall and floor color and really warms up the room and adds a fun texture. I didn’t think it was possible for us to roll this rug out while the heavy desk was in the room, but I trusted Doug on how to make it happen, and we were able to do it. The man truly is a mechanical genius! (And yes, I doubted him at first.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/495a9e20-d440-4eaa-a795-b665f2232145/desk+POV.png Home - Approaching the Finish Line | One Room Challenge, Week 8 - We brought in a few pieces to style the space for photos, but we will be shopping for a few things in the coming weeks. Doug would like to have a console behind his desk for more surface area and storage. We also want to get a loveseat or small sofa to go across from the desk. (Coco needs a comfy place to hang out in here after all!) We are hoping to find a comfortable sleeper sofa, but are open to just finding a sofa and using an air mattress in here if we need to use the room as a guest room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/6a77d9d9-2726-49b0-9cf7-e31b06bc2538/artillery+angle.png Home - Approaching the Finish Line | One Room Challenge, Week 8 - When we placed the artillery shell that I’m making into a lamp and the old naval class photo that Doug’s grandpa is in on the marble table, I got really excited at how these pieces look with the wall color. It’s even better than I dreamed it would be! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a932b9b4-2930-48df-95e0-220f98a0e1eb/dad+working.png Home - Approaching the Finish Line | One Room Challenge, Week 8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ec265b8f-db33-4056-823b-c105589358f0/IMG_1127.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/072ae9a3-3b9d-41d8-9981-756a2cfe1db8/5s.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7f092825-d42e-4617-8c18-561b54a6c426/photo_2025-10-20_18-30-21.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/46e1c28d-781f-4221-b41d-b80eaea34a1a/IMG_0312.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/099d3196-4c82-4d8c-ae25-ef127aa0044f/IMG_0150.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a88a6ea2-6c12-4491-a015-6fac57c49415/Office+Mockup+-+Fall+Version+-+No+Logo.png https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/coco-cat-bed-review monthly 0.5 2026-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1770937747648-PGZ1WCDL4CFY08O046D6/photo_2026-01-29_19-10-59.jpg Home - Coco Cat Bed Review The bed came in the tiniest of packages! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1770937956325-QHXNHOZ7WZ1HZWX3VKHF/photo_2026-02-05_18-17-12.jpg Home - Coco Cat Bed Review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a100846a-a158-4160-8427-19311866d89f/Coco%27s+Bed.png Home - Coco Cat Bed Review Personalized Pet Bed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1770937726439-BQVH4TI6PV96R2N04U3I/photo_2026-01-29_19-13-03.jpg Home - Coco Cat Bed Review Feeling a little skeptical that they sent me the right bed! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1770937994994-77S0OJ0USI1LI4VWDB72/photo_2026-02-05_18-17-09.jpg Home - Coco Cat Bed Review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ca2b4886-2352-40db-ae11-2386eeccdec4/Water+Fountain.png Home - Coco Cat Bed Review Ceramic Cat Water Fountain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1770937805278-UZV5K31IUWCHA1ZADMKI/photo_2026-01-29_19-13-05.jpg Home - Coco Cat Bed Review It's a miracle!

He has a routine and he loves it. We have had a blanket for him to sleep on for years. Well, I got tired of looking at it. For one, there was nothing at all appealing about it, other than it being Coco’s woobie. So, I started a quest to find the perfect pet bed for Coco that we both could love. I searched for several weeks before I found a few that I liked on Etsy. It took me several more weeks to finally place the order for the bed. There were lots of details to consider. First is that Coco is a big cat (over 20 lbs!) and he is long so a tiny cat-sized bed just wouldn’t do for him. Also, I have a very specific amount of space that can handle a pet bed that had to be considered. We still need to be able to do laundry and use the cabinet drawers and trash cans that are in the laundry room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ed146d26-42a3-411a-b972-5af5c8ec8959/photo_2026-02-05_18-17-50.jpg Home - Coco Cat Bed Review - My husband and son joked about the possibility that Coco wouldn’t sleep on it after me splurging on the bed. I took the chance anyway. For the first week I had no idea if he was sleeping on it or not. When we put him in there, he wouldn’t settle down. And, when I open the door in the mornings he would always be at the door waiting for me to open the door. On New Years Eve, when we were going to bed, we walked in there and Coco followed us and got on his sweet little bed and laid down. It was the perfect New Year’s Eve miracle for me! https://www.dollyandbud.com/diy-and-home/spring-2026-one-room-challenge-week-1 monthly 0.5 2026-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/0f8359b8-1dc2-4d9e-ae54-de59eaeab6a9/20251123_151325318_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - A Parade of Mini Projects! | One Room Challenge, Week 1 - Yes, I’m at it again! I’m as surprised you are! I’ll admit that I have home renovation fatigue right now. Since the @oneroomchallenge announced that the format this year is favoring smaller, more doable projects, I decided that I’m in! I have several projects that I’ve started and not finished (shocking, I know) so I think participating in the challenge will help me push through and usher those projects across the finish line. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c06319ca-a8af-4425-8fa7-3e0e9bfba3b1/20260201_211607076_iOS%282%29.jpg Home - A Parade of Mini Projects! | One Room Challenge, Week 1 - 1. Vintage Military-Inspired Home Office This is the room we renovated last year. It’s operational and Doug is using it. I’ve had some trouble finding some of the furniture, but we’re on the home stretch now. We just need to hang the artwork and style the room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a3921b9f-ec45-4f7f-8096-e38e08ad3254/20260210_005721000_iOS+1.jpg Home - A Parade of Mini Projects! | One Room Challenge, Week 1 - 2. Vintage K-Cup Holder I bought a drawer that belonged to an antique sewing machine at a vintage market and I think it will fit perfectly next to my Keurig coffee maker to hold our k-cups. It has 3 drawers that will be perfect for regular coffee, decaf and tea. As you can see, it needs a little zhuzhing and I need to give it a top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/d0276938-9d41-4a08-aed6-7aa7097a6542/20260303_012001497_iOS%281%29.jpg Home - A Parade of Mini Projects! | One Room Challenge, Week 1 - 3. Powder Room I got a bee in my bonnet one week when Doug was out of town about removing the granite backsplash in this bathroom. I was able to remove the backsplash but there is still glue around the edge of the granite and on the beadboard. Once I get the glue off, I will need to touch up the beadboard but I know I’ll end up having to repaint the entire room. That’s a major undertaking, so I’ve put it off. I want to touch up the paint, possibly change the wall color and maybe even paint the vanity. It’s a bit ambitious but this room is dark since there’s no natural light and I want to sass it up a little. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c555efd5-8ee1-4f77-a8af-1bc19fb412d4/20250309_202552618_iOS.jpg Home - A Parade of Mini Projects! | One Room Challenge, Week 1 - 4. Lamp Update I have this lamp that I bought years ago from Pier One Imports. At the time it was a gorgeous statement piece in my living room. It has a red mosaic tile base and a black shade with red silk on the inside. It’s a substantial lamp and I want to update it. I have already started this project too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/58cecc15-abf9-4bb3-9182-031b6f6408a3/20250505_220946000_iOS.jpg Home - A Parade of Mini Projects! | One Room Challenge, Week 1 - 5. Artillery Shell Lamp Doug has collected an artillery shell at some point in his Army career. The artillery shell is solid brass. I thought it would be super cool to turn this artillery shell into a very cool lamp for his office. https://www.dollyandbud.com/food daily 0.75 2025-01-17 https://www.dollyandbud.com/food/spatchcock-chicken monthly 0.5 2021-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1608851585814-BQ1IW345DNTXYK0ZIFSK/DSC08882.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616633197546-0OYZKVSFMONMBQTPIL60/IMG_1224_jpg.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken - Here’s what you’ll need: INGREDIENTS 1 whole chicken – I used a 7 lb organic chicken 1 Tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil 3 Tablespoons of butter Dry seasoning: 1.5 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon Lawry’s lemon pepper seasoning 1 teaspoon of Tony Chachere's seasoning 1 teaspoon onion powder TOOLS Cutting board (these are the ones I like to use!)

Grab the tail feather nub and cut down each side of the spine. Sometimes I turn it and start again from the neck cavity and meet in the middle. It just depends on how my scissors are handling the cut. I find that short cuts work better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616281567086-WY9MDDKGO7V8LOUX7VV2/DSC01884.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken Kalima....Kalima....Yes, remove that spine and save it for some homemade bone broth. I usually have a container handy and put the excess parts in the freezer for when I want to make bone broth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616281690481-5KRIQRN03MX5Z2DMOH5P/DSC01906.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken Flip the bird back over and with a sharp knife, score the breastbone about 3-4 times.

Put your hand over the breastbone like you are administering CPR and crack that sucker! You’ll hear the satisfying snap and your bird should be lying pretty flat at this point and guess what? You just spatchcocked a chicken! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616282170531-0KRE30OPNEQMFTWUHQ1O/DSC02063.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken Now, lift the skin a little and place little pats of butter under the skin. You can work the pats of butter around without having to keep your hand in there the whole time. I also sprinkle some of my dry seasoning blend under the skin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616203613376-FQQLGUCYU2N95BQMYTQQ/DSC02053.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken Make sure you really get them up in there, don’t be afraid to detach the skin so you can have full coverage across the entire chicken! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616282282045-6T6H4B6YSE5DAU7L9KKJ/DSC02050.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken Brush the skin with the oil and sprinkle the remaining seasonings all over the bird. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616282745672-OMS5VC90BLARG0Y1S2TI/DSC02209.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616282814562-YVRCRFYXKJXTAW6J7NOO/DSC02315.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken Don’t be shy about this step!

Coat your grill with avocado oil or another oil with a high smoke point. (I like this one!) Liberally soak a paper towel with the oil and use tongs to quickly rub it around the grill. I know, that sounds a little scary, huh? It always makes me a little nervous too, but trust me, work quickly and your paper towel may turn a little black, but shouldn’t flame up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616283054641-3XANNEF7VFOXCEO3WYUG/DSC01737.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken Flip your bird breast side down onto the grill and cook for 10 minutes. Leave it alone and let it do its thing – trust me. This will sear the skin and keep the breast meat juicy. When flipping the chicken, I use a large spatula to get under it and use the tongs to help me flip the entire chicken in one fell swoop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616215695127-7JIROPC9RUIO3A6L1PZ0/DSC01745.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken Once you flip the chicken on its back, lower your temperature to 325 degrees and cook it undisturbed until the inner temperature reaches 165 degrees. This usually takes about 60-75 minutes for me. If your grill runs hot, it could cook a lot quicker. Just check it every 30 minutes or so to make sure it’s not getting overdone. If you’re cooking a turkey, it will probably take about 2 hours. I always start checking it after an hour. While the chicken is cooking on the grill, you’ll have plenty of time to make any side dishes you want. Our family favorites are roasted sweet potatoes with onions and garlic and roasted asparagus or brussel sprouts. I’ll be posting my recipes for those side dishes soon. Enjoy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616283623520-6V9ZOK2CNRPHKLB4HLZI/DSC02532b.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616283654297-M8V9LCXB2U711ZBNF5YE/DSC02487b.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616347080738-MK7QTK39W84KS3RWLLJ1/DSC02609%281%29.jpg Food - Spatchcock Chicken Spatchcock Chicken 1 whole chicken – I used a 7 lb organic chicken 1 Tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil 3 Tablespoons of butter Dry seasoning: 1.5 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon Lawry’s lemon pepper seasoning 1 teaspoon of Tony Chachere's seasoning 1 teaspoon onion powder Tools: Cutting board (these are the ones I like to use!)

Now, lift the skin a little and place little pats of butter under the skin. You can work the pats of butter around without having to keep your hand in there the whole time. Just shimmy them around so you have several on each breast and one or two in the thigh and leg area. I also sprinkle some of my dry seasoning blend under the skin.

This is where the bitterness comes in if not prepared properly. Depending on the size of your brussel sprouts, you may want to trim a little more. Some of the outer leaves will fall off when you trim the stems. If they don’t, I usually peel at least one outer layer off because they are a little tough. You can save those for brussel chips, compost or toss them. I then slice them fairly thin, about ¼”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1620685501558-EMMT1BTG50N23TINGIZJ/DSC02518small.jpg Food - Sauteed Brussel Sprouts Kalima....Kalima....Yes, remove that spine and save it for some homemade bone broth.

(Around 4 minutes) Once they start to sear, stir them around so the less cooked pieces can have their chance to sear. If the pan starts to seem dry, add another splash of oil. This will help you get that beautiful sear. Once I stir them around, I leave them undisturbed for another 4 minutes. I like to leave the pan on medium heat the entire time. If you like to cook at a hotter heat, then these times will need to be adjusted. Once they are softened, take them off the heat and enjoy. It usually takes about 15-20 minutes to get that great caramelized sear. Season with fresh cracked pepper and pink himalayan salt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1620692610429-AOMHJYKALRI7ZFK91B7S/DSC02592small.jpg Food - Sauteed Brussel Sprouts Sauteed Brussel Sprouts 1-2 lbs brussel sprouts 1-2 cloves of garlic or 1 tsp. minced garlic 1-2 slices of bacon ½ tablespoon of olive or avocado oil fresh ground pepper fresh ground pink Himalayan salt Directions: Rinse the brussel sprouts in a colander and trim the stems at least ¼". Your brussel sprout will look a little more round at this point. Slice the brussel sprouts fairly thin, about ¼”. Chop 1-2 gloves of fresh garlic. Chop 1-2 slices of cooked bacon. Set skillet to medium heat, add ½ tablespoon of avocado or olive oil to your pan and add the chopped garlic and bacon. If you’re cooking the bacon from scratch, use the bacon grease in your pan to saute the garlic. This will take 5-7 minutes if you’re not cooking the bacon from scratch, if you are cooking the bacon, cook it until it’s partially done and then add the minced garlic. Add your brussel sprouts. Let the brussel sprouts sit undisturbed for about 4 minutes, then stir. If they are not getting a good sear, cook a little longer before stirring. I usually cook another round or two at 4 minutes until all of the brussel sprouts are caramelized and have a nice golden sear. Towards the end of the cooking time (after you have a nice sear), if the brussel sprouts still seem a little crunchy, put a lid on and let them steam a few minutes. Check them after 2 minutes though because you don’t want them to get mushy like that school lunch tray. If you’re worried about them getting mushy, just take them off the heat once you have the nice sear and put the lid on for 2-3 minutes. Season with fresh cracked pepper and pink himalyan salt and enjoy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1620692656880-XNRI5G68ZK03CZNPE7U0/chickten.jpg Food - Sauteed Brussel Sprouts - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dollyandbud.com/food/mahi-tacos monthly 0.5 2023-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2cd47b38-47c4-46d1-85fb-cc61408eae64/20210615_233511046_iOS+1.jpg Food - Mahi Tacos - Thaw your mahi in the sink in cool water. The type I buy is in individually wrapped packages so I take them out of the bag and let them float in their safe little individual package right there in the sink. It doesn’t take very long for them to thaw (30-60 minutes) and we sometimes even cook them when they are still slightly frozen and they turn out great. I like to use disposable aluminum pans to lay them in to season them but you can use a plate, cutting board, etc. to lay them on. I then just sprinkle a little of each of the seasonings on the mahi. For you folks out there that can’t operate without an exact measurement (no judgment), let’s make a little spice blend. It’s a dry rub that you can just sprinkle on both sides of the mahi. For this recipe, I’d plan for one filet per person. We usually cook the whole package because we don’t mind eating leftovers and the mahi holds up to reheating in the microwave and in the pan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/10422ba4-e840-45a1-be60-7d0b3d37e0fb/20220409_192949193_iOS.jpg Food - Mahi Tacos Kalima....Kalima....Yes, remove that spine and save it for some homemade bone broth.

Chicken & Dumplings 3 Ways (Traditional, Paleo and Gluten-Free) - Let’s start with the soup base that will be used for all three versions of Chicken and Dumplings. For the broth, you will need: 1 whole chicken I boil a whole chicken covered in salted water until the breast and thigh temperature is 160 degrees, I let it cool and debone and chop/shred the chicken. If you boil your chicken, save that broth and use it instead of storebought. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/184905ed-8f9b-4aac-a0f4-0fc917f52553/alison-marras-GyV6SL_fKsI-unsplash.jpg Food - Chicken & Dumplings 3 Ways (Traditional, Paleo and Gluten-Free) - Pro Tip: Cut your prep time by using a storebought rotisserie chicken.

If they are too thin they are hard to handle because they’ll be too delicate to pick up and drop in the soup. Don’t fret over measurements here! Use a rolling pin and roll the dough a little thicker than a pie crust, but not as thick as a pizza crust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/d7e6cd20-edd8-451f-87c8-3168ce4c23a8/20230129_224505176_iOS.jpg Food - Chicken & Dumplings 3 Ways (Traditional, Paleo and Gluten-Free) - Chicken and Dumplings (Keto & Paleo) For this version, follow the basic steps above, omitting the dumplings. In place of the dumplings you will use: ½ head of green cabbage, roughly chopped to resemble the shape of dumplings Add the cabbage in the last 10 minutes to allow it to wilt down but not get too soft. The pieces will have a little meat to them so you’re getting a similar mouthfeel as a dumpling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2736c70d-ca4e-4572-8253-630d61e683c4/20230129_232220108_iOS.jpg Food - Chicken & Dumplings 3 Ways (Traditional, Paleo and Gluten-Free) - Pro Tip: I love the cabbage in this soup so much that I usually also put it in my versions with the dumplings. It’s so good! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/885bbeb5-237a-45f7-908a-f8226830afbe/20230130_002214179_iOS.jpg Food - Chicken & Dumplings 3 Ways (Traditional, Paleo and Gluten-Free) - Chicken and Dumplings (Gluten Free and Alternative Dairy Dumplings) For this version, follow the steps in version 1, except for the dumplings. For the gluten-free and dairy-free dumplings, you will need the following: 2 cups gluten free flour (I used Pillsbury) 3 T grassfed butter (or Miyoko’s Creamery butter) 1 tsp salt 1 small egg ¼ cup goat milk kefir (If omitting all dairy, add an extra ¼ cup of coconut + almond milk blend) ½ to ¾ cup of a blend of coconut milk and almond milk Cut the butter into the flour salt mix until crumbly, add milks and egg to make a soft dough. You may have to add a little more almond milk until the dough is the right consistency to be kneaded and rolled. Just add 1 tablespoon of almond milk at a time until you can work the dough. Knead on a floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll paper thin, let dry 30 mins, cut into small squares. And, drop in the soup one at a time. Gently push the dumplings out of the way so you can continue to add all of them to the soup. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/e5d46870-9bb1-4d75-b4d3-13b709debcfe/20230130_003320025_iOS.jpg Food - Chicken & Dumplings 3 Ways (Traditional, Paleo and Gluten-Free) Kalima....Kalima....Yes, remove that spine and save it for some homemade bone broth.

What I make now is a little different than what we had that night but I think what I’m making is even better. This recipe has morphed and can be altered to fit any dietary restrictions. I’m not crazy about shrimp in a tomato sauce so I started dicing mushrooms, onions and garlic and sautéing it for the sauce. Little did I know until my son informed me, that I was making duxelles. I was like “do what”? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2768605f-1cdc-41a6-b9ac-10ad1d25321c/20230121_222454510_iOS.jpg Food - Shrimp Flatbread Pizza - Pro Tip: Duxelles is a mince of mushrooms, onions, herbs (such as thyme or parsley), and black pepper, sauteed in butter and reduced to a paste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/017a00b0-e6b1-4804-9576-b479ccc06efb/20230820_001423914_iOS.jpg Food - Shrimp Flatbread Pizza Shrimp Flatbread Pizza For the crust: The easiest crust is a naan flat bread crust but there are premade cauliflower crusts out there that work great as well. We have also used Banza pizza crust and I’ve made fathead pizza dough and it’s awesome too! Use whatever kind of crust you like! For the sauce: 1 16 oz carton of portabello mushrooms, washed and roughly chopped and minced in a food processor 1 medium onion, minced in a food processor ½ to 1 clove of fresh garlic Salt and pepper to taste Shrimp Seasoning: Tony Chachere’s italian herb blend Oregano Herbs de provence Dried basil Onion powder Light dusting of Tony Chachere’s Bold 2-3 Tablespoons of butter Directions: Saute the mushroom, onions, garlic and salt and pepper in butter until it’s reduced to a paste. Set aside and let’s prepare the shrimp. Shell and de-vein 2 lbs. of shrimp. I buy wild caught shrimp that is already shelled and de-veined. I like to put at least 12-16 shrimp on each pizza so that it is a protein heavy slice of pizza! Spread the duxelles thinly on each pizza crust. Place the shrimp around the pizza as close together as you like. Add shredded goat gouda or cheddar or any cheese of your choice. Add shaved parmesan cheese Sprinkle with more freeze dried basil or fresh basil if you have it. Sprinkle with more herbes de provence. Lightly sprinkle a few little red pepper flakes. Cook at 350° for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.

It’s high on the request list for my daughter especially at her birthday. The cooking of the food is really the party. I try every year to find something more exotic to add in to delight my girl. The most recent addition is enoki mushrooms. She’s not much of a mushroom fan but cannot resist these little beauties. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/934cc2bb-5970-4cfe-9cb2-ee3680ad9ff0/shrimp.png Food - Butter Yaki https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/338eaad1-80a5-48d6-acb1-cc177ffea450/veggies.png Food - Butter Yaki https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/d2b0b7c5-2e7d-4aa0-ad1b-5002d82bcc50/20240205_001639987_iOS+1.jpg Food - Butter Yaki - Pro Tip: If you want to try it and you don’t have the electric griddles, no worries, you can cook all the ingredients in a skillet or a grill pan on the grill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/312a0ce2-7953-4f4f-b603-b004d8d41ecc/20240205_011751747_iOS.jpg Food - Butter Yaki Butter Yaki For the meat and veggies: The first step is to put butter on the griddle. Then start loading the griddle with meats and vegetables. Now that we know about safe food preparation, we use one griddle for the meat and one for the vegetables. Sauté all of the meat and vegetables in butter. If you are seated around the table, your guests can cook what they want on their side of the griddle. Sometimes we prep everything on a grill pan and cook it outside. If we do that we just put everything in bowls for a buffet style meal. This is a great meal to have if you want to dress it up or dress it down. It’s healthy and you will, no doubt, enjoy your veggies and meats cooked in butter.....but don’t forget the sauce, it completes the flavor profile perfectly! For the sauce: 1 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos ¼ cup coconut sugar (or regular sugar) ¼ cup rice wine vinegar 2-3 Tablespoons of shredded daikon radish (I use regular radish if I can’t find daikon) The juice of one fresh lime (2-3 Tablespoons) Add soy sauce or coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar and sugar to a pot. Boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add in shredded radish and the juice of a lime (about 2-3 Tablespoons). Pour in individual dipping bowls and serve. Directions: Thaw shrimp and scallops Slice beef very thinly Slice mushrooms, onions, zucchini, broccoli, cabbage (really whatever you have on hand) Get your griddle, pan or grill pan hot, add butter. Once melted, add your vegetables. We usually cook everything separately, but you could do it all together if you’d like. Once the vegetables are done, add the shrimp (cook 2 mins per side), cook the scallops (get that good sear before you flip) and sear the beef. Serve buffet style with chopsticks and rice of choice. Dip the veggies, seafood and meats in the sauce and enjoy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/8f3a0b83-3f23-4875-9fc6-1460789ddc49/20230820_001423914_iOS%281%29.jpg Food - Butter Yaki Shrimp Flatbread Pizza https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/23848436-2cc2-4d07-b554-42dc27ac4ea1/20230116_190432322_iOS.jpg Food - Butter Yaki Mahi Tacos https://www.dollyandbud.com/food/best-clam-chowder monthly 0.5 2024-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5b250ba0-cb02-4fbd-a188-3f2e968f1c70/20240217_225539121_iOS.jpg Food - Best Clam Chowder Kalima....Kalima....Yes, remove that spine and save it for some homemade bone broth.

I like to combine several to layer in the umami) One packet of Dr. Kelly Ann’s homestyle bone broth (you can use a carton of chicken broth, but if you do, reduce the amount of water) 3 cups of water One bottle of clam juice Juice reserved from canned clams (if this seems unappealing, feel free to skip it!) Spices: 2 bay leaves 1 tablespoon of herbs de province 1 teaspoon of salt ½ teaspoon of pepper ½ teaspoon of Tony’s Italian seasoning ¼ teaspoon of chopped garlic ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes ½ teaspoon of onion powder 2 teaspoons of basil 2 teaspoons of parsley 1 tablespoon of gluten-free flour Vegetables: One whole onion, chopped One whole red pepper, chopped One whole green pepper, chopped One jalapeno pepper, chopped One cup of diced carrots 1 16 ounce container of portobello mushrooms Three stalks of celery Two handfuls of fresh spinach Optional: 1 cup of cubed potatoes Directions: Chop bacon and fry in soup pot. Once cooked, remove 75% of the bacon crumbles and reserve for topping the soup when serving. Add in bay leaves, garlic, onions, peppers, celery and carrots and sauté for about 5 minutes and then add in mushrooms. Cook down until slightly softened. Then add the gluten free flour and stir in the vegetables. Add the bouillon cubes and better than bouillon to the water (or chicken broth if using). Once dissolved, add it to the pot of vegetables. Stir until combined. Add in all of the spices. Add potatoes if using. Add in the clams and the clam juice. I sometimes do not use all of the clam juice. It just depends on how much soup is in the pot at this point. Add in the can of coconut milk and stir in the clams. Allow to simmer for about 10-20 minutes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/3bb4ce80-9d09-4ed2-883b-3008fec9318a/20240218_203249196_iOS.jpg Food - Best Clam Chowder - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ccb79eb3-d27f-48cb-ad09-74b1b2ea94e0/20240205_011811067_iOS.jpg Food - Best Clam Chowder Butter Yaki https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/840a1d0c-0086-405d-91b0-0b1f5cb2ea03/20230820_001423914_iOS%281%29.jpg Food - Best Clam Chowder Shrimp Flatbread Pizza https://www.dollyandbud.com/food/tonys-chicken monthly 0.5 2024-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a783dfab-0316-42b7-a67e-9b3ae95f599b/20240828_231617856_iOS.jpg Food - Tony’s Chicken Kalima....Kalima....Yes, remove that spine and save it for some homemade bone broth.

Grill until center temperature is 165 degrees. We like to cook them so they have a nice sear on the outside. You could also cook these in an iron skillet for 3-4 minutes per side and finish them off in a 350 degree oven. This is a recipe that works really well in a weekly meal prep. These chicken thighs keep well and heat up well and are even delicious cold on a salad.

It weighs in at about 2 carbs and the calories will depend on the amount of vodka you use. Tito’s vodka has about 63 calories per ounce and is gluten free. Why would there ever be gluten in alcohol? Quite often (like 90% of the time) , I enjoy this drink without the vodka. It tastes just as good and there is zero negative impact on my body. Don’t let the mint leaves intimidate you. Who has mint just lying around? Well, thanks to that same beautiful friend I mentioned before, she unknowingly shared a very prolific mint plant with me when she was thinning out her iris bulbs. At first, we pulled it up like a weed, but now we love our little lush mint garden and use it as much as we can. Just a word of caution though: if you buy a mint plant, plant it in the ground in the pot so it doesn’t spread because trust me, my friend, it will! In the winter, I buy fresh mint in the produce section. My family enjoys this drink all year. At the holidays, I like to throw in a few frozen cranberries just because it’s fancy and pretty and keeps my drink colder longer. I hope you love it just as much as I do! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1608849905303-XTYSQPH2YWNQ4TZJUC9S/DSC07934.jpg Food - Low Carb Mojitos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1608849985212-3UTJ1QVJ6I4QXF1QVEBO/DSC07951.jpg Food - Low Carb Mojitos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1608850166946-QDH1RECT87S07O5PLMOO/DSC08090.jpg Food - Low Carb Mojitos https://www.dollyandbud.com/food/green-smoothie monthly 0.5 2021-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1623040930593-89Z7M2TXMYGV6CDOPR4X/DSC06637.jpg Food - Green Smoothie - Feel free to change it according to your taste, veggies on hand, sweetness preference, etc. I could see this smoothie being really tasty and still healthy by throwing in a half of a green apple or a handful of green grapes. You could also add ½ of an avocado to boost the fat content and add creaminess to the smoothie. And adding a scoop of collagen powder would round it out and make it a meal. If you add collagen, add it at the end so it doesn’t get super foamy. The lemon keeps the greens from getting dark and is also super tasty and tart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1623041031759-HHEF9MJEW6ID85W0EXLP/DSC06602.jpg Food - Green Smoothie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1623041077671-SO8DEBVBRIF4O0V3M2LB/DSC06600.jpg Food - Green Smoothie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1623041215356-XA9H7XJ5LOQVXEWIK9RR/DSC06646.jpg Food - Green Smoothie - I usually make a blender full, so I’ll end up with around 4 pint-size jars of smoothies for the week. They will last 4-5 days without any deterioration in flavor. When I have an excess of produce, I will pre-chop my veggies and freeze them. Some veggies will not hold up to freezing (like cucumber) so use your best judgment here. If I have a surplus of collards, I wash and dry them and lay them flat on parchment paper on a baking sheet to freeze them quickly and then just put the whole leaf in a freezer bag. They keep really nicely until ready for use. I also like to pre-chop and have my greens in ziplocs in the fridge so I can just grab handfuls of swiss chard or kale when I’m ready to make a smoothie. Another bonus is if I’m looking for a quick vegetable to cook, I may use my chopped veggies to make a stir-fry. Having them prepped means I use them without them going bad. I like to get my greens from the local farmer's market. The veggies are organic, in season and locally grown with no pesticides. After I have a green smoothie, I feel like I’ve got electric green fire coming out of my fingertips. All of those good vitamins and antioxidants give me a healthy burst of clean energy and I’m ready to fight the good fight! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1623041386007-6PJXXNQQW2OQJPARR1QP/DSC06672.jpg Food - Green Smoothie https://www.dollyandbud.com/food/beef-fajitas monthly 0.5 2021-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1629404942781-9IEUHP5AMHKJYSJZQW6W/20210710_224148365_iOS+1.jpg Food - Beef Fajitas - Alright, let’s get started. I like to use top sirloin steak, but you can use a fattier meat like ribeye if you prefer. When I’m just cooking for two, I either cook one large steak or two smaller ones. If the kids are coming over, I double it. I’d say the rule of thumb would be 1 steak for every 2 people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1629405059858-YN3ZS3GM73TSWT7VZPM3/20210710_224627362_iOS+1.jpg Food - Beef Fajitas - First, make your spice blend. Please don’t be intimidated by all the ingredients. I need to be super careful about my spice blends because of hidden ingredients that either my husband or I am sensitive to. So, I’ve tweaked and adjusted my recipe to suit our taste and sensitivities. If you use garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper, you will have a nicely seasoned steak. If that’s still too much, just season the steak with salt. I promise this recipe will still be good. Next, season the steaks with the spice rub blend. Reserve about a tablespoon of the spice blend for seasoning the peppers and onions. Let the steaks sit out on the counter for 20-30 minutes so the spices can season the meat and the juices of the steak start flowing. If I’m doing a weekend meal prep, I’ll season the steaks and refrigerate a few days until I’m ready to cook it. Of course, if you marinate it a day or two the meat will be really flavorful. I’m not always the best planner, so most of the time, I season the meat and let it sit for 30 minutes before cooking. You can even season the meat and freeze it for later when you want to cook the meat. I’ve tried all these methods and they all work so feel free to experiment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1629405350243-32KVSUHDJK4OOJFYMID8/20210710_230948389_iOS.jpg Food - Beef Fajitas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1629405409923-P2Q1LZXPS88CM1U3X6O2/20210710_231011533_iOS.jpg Food - Beef Fajitas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1629405491860-677SWXKYT5FHC8M2TVJ8/20210710_233623609_iOS+1.jpg Food - Beef Fajitas - While you are sauteing the onions and peppers, put the steaks on a grill that has been preheated to 350 degrees. If you don’t have a grill or don’t want to go between the grill and the stove, you can sear your steak in a skillet. My husband loves to grill so he is in charge of the steaks. The trick is to cook the steak so it has a nice sear on the outside and is juicy and a little pink on the inside. Grill the steak until the internal temperature is 145 degrees. Even if you prefer your meat well done, just cook it until the internal temperature is 145 degrees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1629405571427-SK18GPAFEU0SPWDNBE0F/20210710_233918528_iOS+1.jpg Food - Beef Fajitas - Let the steak rest for about 5 minutes and then slice it thinly. If the peppers and onions are finished, I pull them off the burner and set to the side until the steaks are ready. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1629405714234-4FZUS975HBIRJIGB1O95/20210710_234308565_iOS+1.jpg Food - Beef Fajitas - Once the steaks are sliced, add the meat to the peppers and onions and sauté until the steak is to your preferred doneness. We like it to have a little line of pink in the center but you can cook it as much or as little as you like. We make our fajita bowls with rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, avocado, pico de gallo and cholula. This is a dinner that comes together quickly and is a huge hit. Enjoy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1629405790110-01DMZWXZF1IKR38PWWVD/IMG_5138.JPG Food - Beef Fajitas https://www.dollyandbud.com/food/pumpkin-bread monthly 0.5 2022-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/6f9293f7-2c4a-4809-8907-585e22a7e41f/20211205_215202875_iOS+%281%29.jpg Food - Pumpkin Bread https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c46652ba-9656-4e30-9b95-d5cdf7b520b6/20211205_214026707_iOS.png Food - Pumpkin Bread - Since we make this pumpkin bread recipe every year and almost every year I’ve been trying a different diet, I’ve made a few variations over the years. If you prefer gluten-free, you can substitute King Arthur’s Gluten-Free Flour one-for-one for the all-purpose flour in this recipe. If you prefer sugar-free, I have successfully substituted this monkfruit sweetener one-for-one for the sugar. If you prefer grain-free and sugar-free then I’ve tried substituting cassava flour one-for-one. It required an extra egg and 12 tablespoons of coconut milk. I believe a combination of grain-free flours would yield the best results, but I haven’t tested that yet. If I do, I'll update my post with those measurements. My kids prefer the muffins/bread without the raisins and nuts so I usually make the muffins without them. My husband prefers it without raisins but with nuts, so I add about 1/3 cup of chopped pecans before I pour the remaining batter into the mini loaf pans. And, yes, I try to accommodate my family’s likes and dislikes. They are worth it!!! Pro tip: I’m fairly liberal with the cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. So, instead of having an even teaspoon of cinnamon, I add a rounded teaspoon of cinnamon and cloves, and a rounded ½ teaspoon of nutmeg. ) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/3b2d3909-329c-4620-bf45-77aaae7d17ce/20211205_204841613_iOS.png Food - Pumpkin Bread https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7bc5e3d9-c75b-4a0c-87d7-8af3a6cd2085/20211205_210321545_iOS.png Food - Pumpkin Bread https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/6b1d8dc7-63c1-420b-a015-52c16d758a98/20211205_214851635_iOS.png Food - Pumpkin Bread https://www.dollyandbud.com/food/simple-slaw monthly 0.5 2022-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/e9e123ee-4c43-48d7-996f-b8720e143b8c/20210725_174735142_iOS.jpg Food - Simple Slaw https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a62fe81a-a8c7-4eaa-8bf0-ec5781b8ceb9/20210725_170310833_iOS.jpg Food - Simple Slaw - Quarter a whole green cabbage and leave the core to use as a handle of sorts. My husband usually works the mandolin. He’s very worried I’ll cut myself which is sweet of him.

This was an epic mother-daughter trip and we were trying our best to turn a not-so-great situation into a fun one. We both have lots of great memories from that trip, but one of my fondest memories is us having these yummy deviled egg snacks along the way. My car stereo also busted on this trip and so Paige had about 13 songs downloaded on her phone. Can you imagine the same 13 songs on a 12 hour road trip? Ha! One of those songs was “Fergalicious” and every single time I hear that song now I think of us giggling and belting out “I be up in the gym just working on my fitness, he’s my witness (oooh-wee)!” I hope you’ll give these eggs a try and hopefully you’ll get as much joy out of them as we do. Pro tip: I like to use a melon ball scoop to put the filling in the egg white. It’s the perfect portion! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/926cb6dd-e9f4-400a-b4dc-825a96143cbe/20220708_215418173_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/bbf6e6a3-4862-4b3e-a5af-ec1aae098ca7/20220709_161439332_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/960af052-0362-4297-b54e-42180b01941b/20220509_001602000_iOS.jpg Food - Deviled Eggs This is my milk glass egg platter that I inherited from my Mom.

I bet it hasn’t been used for 30 years and it still worked like a charm! Since I used the apple corer, it peeled, cored and sliced the apples like a slinky. I then just made two cuts vertically to make uniform chunks of apple. There were a few pieces that had a little peeling on it and I left it. It adds to the rustic beauty of it all. If the sound of my Mama’s apple crisp has completely set your heart on fire, then you’ve got the recipe for it right there in the first paragraph above. It really is that simple. If you want a healthier, more gut-friendly version, then check out my recipe below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/ef88ea4f-762f-4a04-8017-ed2e51748d0d/20221123_210017911_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/af1f8ad2-69c1-4860-87af-cb0815c4d5ee/20221124_184934285_iOS.jpg Food - Apple Crisp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/d3f3d660-af93-4bc6-b2b0-419b02e1284d/20221125_011716323_iOS.jpg Food - Apple Crisp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c53b5ea6-6bd3-46e3-a105-a6a458470eef/20221126_220544625_iOS.jpg Food - Apple Crisp https://www.dollyandbud.com/food/sugar-free-red-sangria monthly 0.5 2022-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/3dc68471-f3e9-45f4-a14f-77857ba60adf/20221203_221503027_iOS.jpg Food - Sugar-Free Red Sangria https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/45fa033c-51cc-4b68-a732-affaaecd75c5/20221203_221516615_iOS.jpg Food - Sugar-Free Red Sangria https://www.dollyandbud.com/food/paradise-eggnog monthly 0.5 2022-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/8202b1eb-a495-4fe8-8519-70b9c1300207/20221203_210920888_iOS.jpg Food - Paradise Eggnog (Dairy-free) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/8f068184-8c80-4c89-b08a-f2acd51d4db4/20221203_214002762_iOS.jpg Food - Paradise Eggnog (Dairy-free) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/3902fab8-65e3-4d4d-8753-2768f2263078/20221203_210835612_iOS.jpg Food - Paradise Eggnog (Dairy-free) https://www.dollyandbud.com/food/best-spinach-artichoke-dip-ever monthly 0.5 2022-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5dc9bca8-316d-4944-9827-1f3208663590/20221228_221327627_iOS.jpg Food - Best Spinach Artichoke Dip Ever! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/8fdfdc04-196a-4ecc-9c05-9e79b72017ef/20221228_184339289_iOS.jpg Food - Best Spinach Artichoke Dip Ever! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a826bee2-6634-44ec-bb5f-971f8f618418/20221228_190348988_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/9202acee-e992-432c-9485-444c6b40c096/20221228_182211983_iOS.jpg Food - Best Spinach Artichoke Dip Ever! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/92a5d412-fb31-453d-9050-d73d5f9b5b3b/20221228_190455872_iOS.jpg Food - Best Spinach Artichoke Dip Ever! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/88eebb02-0152-49ce-8f79-7677234f6d28/20221228_220917187_iOS.jpg Food - Best Spinach Artichoke Dip Ever! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/d917e7c1-3025-48d9-b770-23b6981b645d/20221228_182307996_iOS.jpg https://www.dollyandbud.com/food/cantaloupe-mojito-mocktail monthly 0.5 2023-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/b721e261-070d-493a-bc4d-4489ac3b4476/20230812_210144248_iOS.jpg Food - Cantaloupe Mojito Mocktail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/eeb8cd90-3b00-4058-96bc-a4b6385f46f8/20230812_205500435_iOS.jpg Food - Cantaloupe Mojito Mocktail - I blended the cantaloupe in my Vitamix and then strained it. I believe you could mash the cantaloupe and muddle it with the mint if you don’t mind the pulp. When Doug came in from mowing he was hot and I told him I had something for him to try in the fridge. His face lit up and he opened the fridge. He took a sip and said “hmmm...this is refreshing!” He then added a little tequila to his and I tasted it. That really rounded out the flavors. I’m personally taking a break from alcohol so I’ll be drinking mine alcohol free.

Medical Grade Skin Care: Winter Routine - TIP: With sensitive skin that tends to be on the oily side, it’s taken me a while to find the right formula to keep my skin balanced (clean and acne free without stripping it and drying it out). And when I have it all figured out, if there is a weather change, medication change or I get lax about drinking water, I have to change up my routine again. So, don’t be afraid to try new things and change it up! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1616635377035-KQDRQGI5EVVOFASQFSAN/DSC08205%25281%2529.jpg Style - Medical Grade Skin Care: Winter Routine - TIP: A little hot tip I learned from my Aunt Carol when I was a teenager is to use your ring finger when applying creams around the delicate eye area. I also use my ring finger when applying creams around my lips. You can do a little test on yourself by just tapping the tip of each finger on your chin. The ring finger applies the least amount of pressure. So if you use your ring finger to apply your eye cream, you will not be pulling on that delicate skin.

It’s located on Indianola Street in Bowling Green. This place doesn’t look very big, but once you get in there, it goes on and on. On the first floor, they have everything arranged so that as you go from room to room, there is a theme. I really liked that because I didn’t really want to spend any time hunting for sofas or chairs or tables. I beelined for the dish room and then the lamp room. As soon as I walked in the lamp room, this brass lamp caught my eye. It didn’t have a price, shade or harp but that didn’t deter me. I walked it up to the front counter and asked if they had a light bulb and a place I could test the lamp. I also asked the price - $5! I tested the lamp and it worked! Here’s a sneak peak of my $5 lamp. I’ll do a little DIY on how I took this $5 lamp from sitting lonely and dusty on a consignment store shelf to fabulous with very little effort. I also found some cute little blue dishes. One of them is completely bizarre and funky and just makes me laugh. I decided it would become a little bit of unexpected humor in a gallery wall I have planned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1632093996612-D75P0MNW9I9GRQNBQ2SB/20210515_200916377_iOS.jpg Travel - Birthday Weekend Excursions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1632094127441-1X4E07SO2K0EBOUT45WB/20210515_200853450_iOS%281%29.jpg Travel - Birthday Weekend Excursions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1633821536437-9V2YQTQVNQYJI1K7ZXN2/20210515_194406243_iOS.jpg Travel - Birthday Weekend Excursions - Next stop was Consignment World on Broadway Avenue. It’s literally right across the street from Consignment Corner. Each of these consignment stores have their own little niche. Consignment World sells large items like dining tables and chairs, sofas, dressers, sideboards, mixed in with accessories. Well, as I was walking through the rows of dressers my sister called me over. There was a grouping of decanters on display. I got this one for $19. When shopping for decanters, you want one that has some weight to it. And of course, no cracks, chips or major flaws. An antique decanter is probably going to be made of leaded glass. You can tell by tapping on it with your fingernail or a spoon. (Who carries a spoon around? Ha! Maybe try using a key?) If it’s leaded crystal or glass, there will be a little chiming sound. With glass, it will be a shorter ping and the decanter will probably be lighter weight. You need to be careful about storing drinks in leaded crystal. The lead can leach into the liquid the longer it sits in the decanter. So, if you plan to fill your decanters, use a cheap liquor that you don’t plan to drink or put something you drink frequently, such as red wine in it. That way your drink will not be sitting and soaking up lead that will then be ingested. No, we don’t want that! Why not fill with water? If you fill your decanter with water, condensation will build up and it will just look sweaty and messy. No, we don’t want that either! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1632095264221-XN50PZTP7LTNGDTS0KD5/20210424_210156703_iOS+2.jpg Travel - Birthday Weekend Excursions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1633822158094-3ZNRRFE4YWNCXDZMBGTK/20180510_235739126_iOS.jpg Travel - Birthday Weekend Excursions - Next stop was Lulu’s Fine Home Furnishings on Broadway Avenue. My sister was especially excited about going here because her sweet little Yorkie is named Lulu. Of course this place was going to be great! Isn’t she the cutest?! And because this shop is called Lulu’s, we decided pictures in front of their sign were an absolute must! Here are a few pictures before we went in. My brother-in-law loves to keep snapping pictures when we aren’t ready and I have to say, some of these photos turn out to be my favorites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/c287fff6-8759-487f-b16f-d9c496e5c95d/20210516_204946720_iOS.jpg Travel - Birthday Weekend Excursions - Lulu’s definitely has finer home furnishings. The owner is a designer. She has beautiful designer light fixtures that are hanging on display for purchase. Everything is artfully arranged at Lulu’s. They have a unique way of enabling you to see how certain items would look in your own home. As you can imagine, they are also the pricier of the consignment stores in this area. We found matching decanters for only $14 each up on a shelf in the last room we went in. This decanter had just the shape my sister was looking for and I knew I needed at least one more decanter so we decided to get matching ones. Sisters! We love having matching items because we don’t live in the same state. Somehow it makes us feel closer in spirit knowing that we both have something alike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1633825203994-LZ5FZ250FJ8V00RLE6QD/20210424_222325905_iOS.jpg Travel - Birthday Weekend Excursions - Once back home we had a few things we needed to do to get ready for our evening. We had a banana pudding to put together and a delivery to accept. The surprise delivery was a lovely charcuterie board from the Cheese Queen of Bowling Green. The Cheese Queen of Bowling Green, Rajna Bulut, is a charcuterie board caterer that creates and delivers boards to your door. She caters to any number of guests and I have to say Rajna is an absolute delight. She has a beautiful sense of style and our charcuterie board was not only delicious but a true work of art! Rajna was able to accommodate some special dietary needs by supplying us with gluten free crackers and we were able to try some new cheeses and combos that none of us had ever tried before. The fig preserves were so good with the cheeses! If you find yourself needing a charcuterie board for a special occasion or just because, check Rajna out on her website at cheesequeenbg.com or on Instagram @cheesequeenbg. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/7df13740-5657-48c2-a471-c15814d6ef57/20210425_021216124_iOS.jpg Travel - Birthday Weekend Excursions - My sister is the banana pudding queen so we found a pretty trifle bowl I bought from Pampered Chef a long time ago and you can find here. Amy put together the most epic of banana puddings – four layers people – that's pretty impressive! I found gluten-free vanilla wafers on Amazon which I will link here. They were incredibly delicious and I will be buying them again! I felt a little guilty that my sister was putting together her own birthday dessert, but she's the master so why stand in the way of letting that goodness happen? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/1632192044449-V4WCXFHU44HXFJMMHVN9/20210425_230145211_iOS+1.jpg Travel -

Since Doug has been wanting to take me to Germany since we got married, we finally were able to fulfill that dream! Doug’s brother is currently stationed in Stuttgart, Germany and we wanted to go while he and his wife were still there. We spent months planning the trip and so I asked if we could spend a few days in France since it was so close to where they are stationed in Stuttgart. We flew into Germany and planned a few days in France. One of my bucket list items was to go to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower. Anything else we could do in Paris would be great as long as I could get a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/47a732ca-624d-413e-9ae6-b13755078a9b/GroupSelfie.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/4cf9446a-c39a-4184-937e-b765ae407569/IMG_5016.png Travel - Our First Europe Trip as Empty Nesters: France - After walking around and checking out some of the local architecture we decided we needed to find a place for dinner. We ended up getting back on the autobahn and stopped in a shopping center nearby an Ikea. Chris and Terri laughed that you don’t often see a shopping center with restaurants more like America. We had dinner at a cool little restaurant with outdoor seating. Even though it was 9pm at this point, the sun was still high in the sky, and we had to adjust the umbrellas so we were not being blinded. It’s kind of like that 5pm sun in the states when it’s the hottest before the sun starts to set. We ordered a beautiful charcuterie board with drinks and then a lovely dinner. Here are a few pictures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/5dc98ec2-0d64-4ab3-842d-4f1d0e4e1012/IMG_5025.png Travel - Our First Europe Trip as Empty Nesters: France - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/792d16e0-c2d0-47d1-8318-71753d13fe0c/IMG_6726.jpg Travel - Our First Europe Trip as Empty Nesters: France - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/2b8a7bd8-bb00-40ba-990c-d7e76ba58466/IMG_5121.JPG Travel - Our First Europe Trip as Empty Nesters: France - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a47e7c6a-caac-4b8f-8eeb-92556239c3be/IMG_6714.jpg Travel - Our First Europe Trip as Empty Nesters: France - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/116cce7d-c5e5-4f30-a36d-b19739125bd7/IMG_9202.jpg Travel - Our First Europe Trip as Empty Nesters: France - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/046630da-fc45-4928-a42e-33143567700b/IMG_5397.JPG Travel - Our First Europe Trip as Empty Nesters: France - I couldn’t stop silently weeping when Angelique was talking about her family land, her vineyards and the craft of making the champagne. It was so beautiful to hear her speak of her love of what she does. She is so passionate about it and loved it so much that it reminded me of how much my family loved the land we grew up on. It’s in your blood, you know? After the tasting, Angelique took us on a tour of the room where the barrels are. It was very cool getting to experience champagne on this level! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1ca79963feee4aa0b0e001/a9d2e702-61de-43c9-9c50-b9da68053d4e/IMG_7140.jpg Travel - Our First Europe Trip as Empty Nesters: France - Once we left the Champagne area, we headed back to Reims. We stopped in a little market area and found a great little cafe to eat lunch outside. Once we got settled at a table, our server came to offer us menus. When we started ordering drinks, I asked for a glass of Prosecco. Our server said “Non, non, non......when you are in France you order Champagne. When you are in Italy, you order Prosecco!” So I said “okay, okay, okay – make it Champagne then!” And our server said “tres bien, tres bien!” This was so funny and remains one of the funniest interactions we had the entire trip!
