With all of us spending so much extra time at home lately, it's a great time to knock out a DIY project or two! I thought it would be fun to share ten of my favorite DIYs from over the years - everything from stenciling our bathroom walls almost five years ago to my recent DIY of dressing up my girls' bathroom cabinets with paint.

My Front Door “Before” & “After” Makeover (+ My New Spring Door Wreaths!)
When we bought our house several months back, I put painting our front doors near the top of my long home project to-do list.

I'm so happy with how it turned out! Today I'm sharing the ...

Looking for tried-and-true blue paint colors? I'm sharing readers' top 8 blue paint color favorites! Several months back I decorated the guest room in our house at NC (you can see our newly decorated space {here} if you missed it).

I got so many helpful ...
