DIY Win

I’m calling this my biggest DIY win of the year- this wall was one of the biggest blank spaces in the house, and sandwiched between a bathroom door, sloped stairwell cutout, tv, and access panel. Oh, and 2 alarms.

Since we moved in I had been trying to figure out what should go here. I loved the Halloween gallery wall we tried, but now I am so in love with this faux white oak shelf. It took months of sitting on the to-do list until the need for a Christmas mantle pushed my butt into gear, and I can’t wait to decorate it for the New Year!!

This shelf, plus the faux garland (yup, that’s a DIY too!), really make me appreciate how much love and effort we’ve put into creating our little #haileyhome. Here’s to big dreams of finishing the rest of our renovation projects in 2020!!
