DIY Four Poster Bed

I'd been dreaming of a four poster bed and how I might be able to DIY one and save us some money. (Okay - let's be honest; it wasn't happening unless I made it myself). And it seemed like the perfect time to give it a try.

An Academia Bedroom Makeover

Find budget friendly mini-DIY's and thrifted elements curated into an academia- inspired space for my daughter.  If you love books and vintage items this room is for you!

With just two days in this magical floating city, you can soak in its charm without feeling rushed.  This is how we did Venice for $100 a day.

I love an easy project that doesn't break the bank and looks great for years to come.  If you've been dreaming of an English cottage look, here's a way to create it in your home.

Meet Laura

Hi!  I'm Laura - a pastor's wife who homeschooled our five children (all of whom are nearly grown now!), and who curated our home as an avid thrifter and DIY-er.  I love to share how I've created a modern European farmhouse aesthetic on a budget, with spaces that feel comfortable, timeless and unfussy.

A house should feel lived-in and well-loved.  And keeping home shouldn't break the bank, because there are wild and wonderful experiences to be shared out there in the world with your loved ones.  In these pages, I am happy to share how we've travelled the world and saved on our journeys, and lived an adventure outside our home as well as in it.  I hope you feel inspired to linger here a while with me.
