I’m such a sucker for nooks and hidden spaces that are functional! 😍 I guess it’s the kid in me 🤪 I just love how unused space under stairs can be used for seating, storage, or even a bar! I wish I had room to create a space similar to one of these but since I don’t I’ll just admire these awesome pics❤️. Between these options, which would you do with the space under your stairs? #onehandymomma #understairstorage 📸 Pinterest

Just as I started to post a project, I decided to

Just as I started to post a project, I decided to instead share a glimpse of what my day & past weekend was like.....and let’s just say the word busy doesn't even begin to describe it. As usual I had a laundry list of things I wanted to accomplish.... cleaning, laundry, doing the girls hair, working on projects, running errands, and cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner....to name a few. Needless to say I didn't get to complete all of the tasks on my list so it left me feeling a bit defeated as I started my Monday. But there's only 24 hours in a day and we gotta sleep some of that time so why do we beat ourselves up for not being able to get through a thousand things on a list? After taking a moment to pray about it, I had to remind myself that I am doing the best I can do with the time I have and that's all that matters. So just in case you are in that defeated boat like I was today, here is your reminder to give yourself some grace & JUMP OUT of it... and remember you are doing the best you can do and that's good enough 🙂
This is me finishing up the 2nd head of hair today since I didn’t get to finish it over the weekend but it’s done now! 🙌🏾 Do you guys tend to beat yourself up when you don’t get to finish your list? (tell me it’s not just me lol) #onehandymomma

NEXT PROJECT .... Don’t you just love a good tv

NEXT PROJECT .... Don’t you just love a good tv wall unit? I know I do especially in family rooms and basements so it’s definitely one of the design elements I‘ll be including in my basement transformation coming up. The plan is to build one but I’m trying to narrow down the style I want to go with. I found these inspiration pics on Pinterest. Which one do you guys like best? #onehandymomma #tvwallunits

You know how you do something that you already knew in your head probably isn’t a good idea? Yea well that was me 2 years ago when I was bent on making these house frame beds for the girls room😩knowing the room was wayyyy too small for 2 of them🤦🏾‍♀️. I just hadddd to learn the hard way smh 😂. Do y’all see how much space they took up? It’s laughable now lol. I ended up taking off the top frame because it added too much bulk then I never really fully completed the beds. Cue....the built ins me & the hubs made this summer🙌🏾 It’s amazing how much it opened up a small room and gave them way more room to play in.🙌🏾Hope you guys have a great weekend! #onehandymomma #beforeandafter #flashbackfriday

10k followers! 😱My mind is still blown about this yall! I seriously can't thank you enough. Just to give you a point of reference, I had a little over 1800 followers in the beginning of June. In my mind, I thought I may hit 5000 followers by the end of this year. But God🙌🏾 Since then, I've been continuing to do what I love....build, decorate and share my projects with you all. And you guys have been rocking with me ever since.❤️ I'm so very grateful for every follow, like, comment and share. 2020 has been one crazy rollercoaster ride of ups and downs for so many...but God is still in the blessing business and this is a small reminder of that for me. He wants us to dream big in every aspect of our lives! So that's what I'm going to keep doing and I hope you will too! 🙏🏾 Thank you for your amazing support and encouragement .... and for hopping on this ride with me! I'm so excited for what's to come. Giveaway coming soon! #onehandymomma #10kfollowers #blessed

DIY Desk Reveal! Some of you may remember I starte

DIY Desk Reveal! Some of you may remember I started on this desk a few weeks ago. Originally I wanted to do something funky and paint a tribal print or splash design on the top but I started it and didn't love how it looked...so I painted over it lol. Once I came up with my design for the mirror project I recently did, I knew I wanted to tie the desk into that. You can never go wrong with black and white so I decided to keep the solid black line down the middle of the desk as I did with the mirror wall art! Honestly, I usually skip out on doing drawers especially if I'm on a time crunch but I'm so glad this has a drawer. It's a great size and will be super functional. This is currently in our guest room/office (the room with the Murphy bed) and I love it. I end up sitting at our peninsula a lot while working from home but the times I need to really get away & work, I'll be at this desk ☺️ I still need to get a chair so I'll probably bring in some color that way. I got my wood & materials from @homedepot and the handles from @lowes. These projects are absolutely doable even for beginners...and they were low cost ways to get a complete designer look :) Would you give this a try? #onehandymomma #diydesk #diyguestroom #homedepot *Desk plan from @anawhitediy #anawhite
