This has been a very popular post over on my Instagram account and I have received a ton of questions about it over the last week, so I knew I needed a landing spot for it here on my website as well. I'm so happy that so many people have found this little makeover inspiring.

As many of you know, we are a homeschooling family, but you may not know that our high school students take their classes online. They have been content to work in various spaces around our house but I knew it was time to give them a permanent landing spot. I cannot even tell you how much functionality, and even productivity, this little budget friendly makeover has brought to our home. I mean, who wouldn't be more productive with a laptop station?



This post is a collaboration with Liberty University Online Academy so I am sharing all of the DIY information for this makeover on their blog, which you can find here > https://www.liberty.edu/online-academy/blog/a-new-space-for-a-new-year/ There, you can find a list of tools and supplies needed to make the desk as well as the color and product used to makeover the cabinet.


I have also created a video tutorial for how I made the simple desk. Click the image below to head over to my YouTube channel for viewing.

I hope you feel inspired to try a simple DIY and maybe even look at some older pieces in your home with a new eye. To answer all of the remaining questions I've received through my Instagram DMs, I'm creating a source post for this room, so stay tuned!


Until next time...

From what is often shared, preparing for adult social care jobs usually involves understanding how to support individuals properly. The College of Contract Management offers a course that focuses on these areas. The modules include duty of care and wellbeing. These are essential in everyday care work.

This was a good read. What stands out to me about the Essentials Hoodie is how balanced it feels. Some hoodies are too heavy and others feel too thin, but this one sits somewhere in the middle, which makes it practical for different weather. That’s probably why so many people keep it as a daily option rather than just an occasional piece.

Understanding bsc vs bsc hons helps students choose the right path for their career goals. While a BSc offers solid foundational knowledge, a BSc Hons involves more in-depth learning and critical analysis. The honours degree may also open more opportunities for postgraduate studies. The College of Contract Management offers professional courses that mirror this structured and advanced learning style through flexible online delivery.

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.
