We were making a plan to put some shelves up in our living room, and I knew I didn’t want them to be floating or use basic metal brackets. I wanted these shelves to lean vintage in design and have a little character, so we thought we would try to make some corbel shelves. After checking the hardware store’s corbel options we determined they were way too expensive…

I started DIY-ing my own cleaners in 2022, when I received the book Simply Living Well by Julia Watkins. Before looking through this book, I had never thought of making my own cleaners, and many of the other DIY tips she provides in the book. Through out the last couple years I have continued to make more and more cleaning items for my home. Sometimes it can be hard to know where to start…

My homemaking goals for 2024 are focused on using non-toxic products, creating less waste, and making more foods from scratch. The end of 2023 got very busy for me, and we fell into some bad habits as a family…

I am on team, you DON’T have to compromise aesthetics when it comes to your pets. This is an easy DIY dog gate made to match your farmhouse style! This gate is made almost completely out of a sheet of plywood, so it takes very minimal materials!

Make Your Own Cleaning Products. Thinking about switching out all your cleaning products to homemade natural products can be daunting! Try starting with one swap at a time, and soon enough preparing these cleaning products will be second nature. Start with an all-purpose cleaner…

This little shelving unit is for the blank wall that’s on many sides of refrigerators or cabinets and turning it into a vertical storage space. In my case, we had an exposed side of floor to ceiling cabinets that was the first thing you would see when you walked into our kitchen. This storage solution is made to take up almost no square footage…

This year we started our garden journey. We had to take building this garden slowly, DIY everything, and use the resources we had in order to stay within our budget. No one is going to have the same situation as us, or have the same resources, but I want to share to inspire and encourage you to figure out what supplies you may already have for your garden so that the whole process may seem less daunting and expensive.
