It’s been a hard few mental health days over here with potty training. I usually keep my sanity by getting out of the house and hitting up @homedepot or @goodwillintl when Jack starts getting stir crazy at home, but being home-bound while he gets the hang of using the big kid potty has been... rough on mama. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It hasn’t helped that our house is still in a state of mid-project (are we on week three of tile? I think I’ve wiped it from my mind 😅) so this afternoon during naptime I decided that self-care needed to look like me doing a big kitchen clean so that my surroundings didn’t feel quite so chaotic and messy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But also: here’s a first peek at the finished tile!! I still need to grout the second half of the kitchen out of frame and about half the bathroom still needs tile but I love it so much. Next on the project list will be installing the butcher block waterfall over by the sink, then the custom hood over the range, and open shelving!
Why is my Monstera right there? I don’t even know, it got put there and I forgot about it 😂 but you can get a little peek at the acrylic top we got for my thrifted coffee table!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I started potty training Jack yesterday so I’ll probably be a little quiet around here in the coming days, and also my house kind of looks like a hurricane of toddler activities blew through so this is probably the one slice of home that isn’t affected 😂 #beermestrength
Hi friends! There’s a lot of new faces around here thanks to the @apartmenttherapy feature so I thought I’d give y’all an intro! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hi, I’m Liz! I renovate houses, thrift obsessively, am mom to a 2.5 year old kiddo named Jack and wife to Dan going on 8 years, live in the PNW, and have been blogging since 2008. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are 5 random facts about me (share yours in the comments!) 1️⃣ I’m an enneagram 3w4 (though I often also find myself drawn to some of the 1 characteristics). 2️⃣ I have had teal and pink hair, black hair, ginger-red hair, dark brown to blonde ombré, dark green hair, and currently yellow/chartreuse hair 💛 3️⃣ I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska and used to fly with my dad out to Iditarod checkpoints and sell espresso to mushers and spectators. 4️⃣ I have a 1972 Winnebago Brave which I’ve lived/traveled in long-term on and off since 2010 but I hope to do another trip one day with our son! 5️⃣ Favorite reality TV: So You Think You Can Dance (been loving the reboot of American Idol lately too!). But also, I can’t not watch the trainwreck that is The Bachelor/Bachelorette 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What about you?! ⬇️⬇️
Heyyo, I just put this DIY thrifted dresser revival up on the blog! You can swipe to see the before, and head on over to the link in my profile to check the blog post on how I transformed this lovely beast! 😍
Instagram hack: if your $15 thrifted coffee table comes with a weird glass top that’s covered in masking tape and is half the size it needs to be to fit the table top... just take it off and take a picture anyways cuz it still looks like there might be a glass top on in anyway 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Workin in procuring a new top for this beaut’ but for now I’ll just squint my eyes and pretend. 😑
Guys! I can officially join #monsteramonday now! I feel v cool and hip 🕺🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And if you peep my story, I totally scored at the thrift store today with a $5 low-back peacock chair and a $15 rattan coffee table! Things are coming together, slowly but surely. 🙌🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oh! And I posted a bit about it in my stories but I’m blogging a bit more in the “old style” (or at least how it was when I started over a decade ago). More casual life updates without perfectly staged DSLR photos, and more sharing the behind the scenes real life progress of projects! Link in profile!
