We are continuing on our home organizing quest. Next up on our list is our shared family bathroom. While we do have an ensuite bathroom for our master bedroom, this bathroom is the workhorse of our house. It functions as both our general family bathroom for our two grade-school girls and as the guest bathroom […]
Organizing Baking Supplies in a Drawer – Pantry Alternative for a Small Kitchen
In our quest for the organized life, we’ve organized our entryway and our closet drawers and our coat closet and our pantry (and a spice rack or two) — so next up is our baking drawer, where we keep our pantry staple dry goods as a pantry alternative in our small kitchen. All of these […]
Build a Flip-Over 2×4 Bar Stool Step Ladder AKA Hoosier Step Stool
We’ve been hard at working making our work area in the garage at our Birch House feel more like a workshop and less like a storage unit that also houses our tools — it’s slow going, but we’re making progress! Today’s video will show you how we built this simple but smart flip-over bar stool […]
DIY Hand-Stamped Herringbone Accent Wall
We loved the hand-stamped wallpaper styles that we’re seeing in magazines and home shows lately (and the two that our team did here and here) so we set out to make our own DIY hand-stamped herringbone accent wall in our office space. We stamped this section of the wall in a couple of hours, with […]
Easy $20 DIY Sliding Picture Ledge Shelves
When we showed you the our girls’ room closet transformation last week, you may have noticed the empty wall to the right of the closet doors… well, it’s empty no more! These sliding picture ledge shelves were a quick and easy build and they give that narrow section of wall both a purpose and some […]
Closet Transformation
A couple weeks ago we walked you through a tour of our new (to us) home… Well, while we have been here for over a year, but we’ve been so busy with major remodeling that actually writing a blog post about it has been hard- and so many projects, have been done half way just […]
Printable Birch Tree Art Prints with Custom Carved Initials
After the Christmas decor comes down (the day after Christmas at my house!) it can be tricky to find the right seasonal decor — what kind of winter decor is right for your style? and when can you add Valentine’s decor into the mix? Well, we have the perfect solution: this printable set is both beautiful and […]
How to Build a Square DIY Tiered Tray
Build a DIY tiered tray to help clear countertop clutter, organize essentials, or to use for decorating counters and tabletops. Get the building plans, tutorial, and steps for a square tiered tray.

Meet The Jordan House: Project Home Tour BEFORE
We first mentioned it on the blog way back last January but we finally put together a video home tour of our new project house! This is all the nitty gritty befores, plus why we decided to buy a (second) fixer-upper 1970’s home to be a project house, and also the short version of the […]
DIY IKEA Hemnes Desk Hack into Double-Duty Shared Kids Desk with Hidden Storage
In the life of a Remodelaholic, there’s a constant battle for balance between saving time, spending money, and getting exactly what you want from a project… or as close as possible, anyway. When a project is affordable, fast, and fits the exact need, that’s the trifecta that gets the Remodelaholic happy dance, and today’s IKEA […]
Improved Small Coat Closet Organization for our Entryway
Earlier this year, we added storage space to our entryway with this IKEA hack storage console. The KALLAX cube shelves and the added drawers and baskets have been perfect for smaller items like gloves and umbrellas and hats and even scarves… but our small entryway coat closet was another story. This has been a busy […]
2019 Watercolor Handlettered Printable Calendar + Perpetual Calendar for Birthdays
It’s that time of year again… time to turn the calendar page to a whole new year! Or rather, get a whole new calendar for a brand new year! (and scribble out last year’s date on every check I write… which thankfully isn’t many anymore!) We’ve updated our watercolor handlettered calendar for 2019, plus added […]
Workshop Cleanup: Adding a Dust Collector to a Mobile Clamp Rack
Having our own DIY workshop in our garage is a huge deal to us as Remodelaholics, but often the workshop is even more neglected than other not-so-tidy areas of the house. I’ve been fighting the uphill battle of working in a cleaner shop for a long time. A cleaner workshop with less time spent tidying […]
Workshop Organization: Sturdy Mobile Clamp Rack and Tool Storage System
As we’ve worked on more and more projects in varying sizes and difficulty levels, we’ve accumulated a large collection of clamps. I love having them available to use, but keeping them organized and finding a good clamp storage system has been something I’ve really needed to add to my shop ever since we started cleaning […]
Printable Kids Travel Journal Photo Book + Canon IVY Mini Photo Printer
As we’ve mentioned before, the only way to get a break and survive as a Remodelaholic (especially when you’re currently working on 2 houses!) is to actually leave the house and go somewhere else. It’s hard to feel relaxed on a staycation when your home base is missing flooring or walls or baseboards and all […]
