Today I'm going to show you where the magic happens. Instead of a traditional home office, my creative space is a nook carved out of our dining room. For this busy mom, it is an ideal way to multi-task homework, dinner, bills and of course, blog posts and DIY projects - right in the heart of our home! Oh, and this old house wasn't equipped with an office (or even a closet on the first floor). Work with what you've got. Right?!? Behind the Blog Thank you for stopping by our … [Read more...] about Behind the Blog: Home Office & Craft Space
DIY Shiplap Bedroom Ceiling
This year we turned our spring break vacation into a DIY staycation! We love to DIY our home projects but all this work in such a short period of time also reminded us that we aren’t in our 20s anymore. LOL. A lot of beer was consumed.

Today, I'm going to share another behind the scenes look at Robb Restyle. This month's behind the blog theme is Behind the Photos. So, instead of sharing how to take great pics (because there are plenty of photographers that are better at taking pictures than me) I'm going to share some real photos of what my home and work areas look like when we are renovating, making stuff and getting ready for markets. Guess what? It's not always blog worthy. [womp, womp] If you've visited me, this … [Read more...] about Behind the Photos: Keeping it Real
DIY Graduation Party Ideas
One of my most favorite jobs next to being a mama to my two boys is being an aunt to all 7 of my nieces and nephews. When I met my husband he was already an uncle to this adorable four-year-old who also stole my heart the first time I met her. It was very clear she adored her uncle YaYa - an endearing nickname she created for him. I loved watching them together and knew from that moment that this guy was going to be a great dad someday. Fast forward a few years... and I still wonder how it … [Read more...] about DIY Graduation Party Ideas
