The other day, I found a bookshelf at the side of the road and had to have it. I was looking for a bookshelf, but wasn’t willing to spend the money on a new bookshelf, so when I saw this one I saw the potential! After getting it home and giving it a good look, I immediately hopped on Pinterest for some DIY inspiration. I found myself falling in love with the look of bookshelves that had wallpaper as the backing.
The Design Plan
Once I settled on a wallpaper style and the perfect paint color, it was off to Home Depot. I landed on a gorgeous color from Behr (details below!) and couldn’t wait to get started.
Let me be honest though, wallpaper is not as easy as it looks. This was my first time using it, and I definitely had a few moments of frustration when the pattern wouldn’t line up quite right. What I wish I’d done from the start was lay the wallpaper out flat, line up the pattern, and tape the pieces together with painter’s tape before cutting them to size. Live and learn!
Thankfully, I chose a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which made repositioning a lot easier whenever things didn’t go as planned.
The Process
Before I got to the fun part, I sanded everything down to create a smooth surface for painting. I used both a sander and sandpaper to get in the little nooks. After that, it was time to paint—and watching that dated finish disappear under fresh color was so satisfying.
Once the paint dried, I added the wallpaper to the back panel of the shelf. It instantly elevated the entire look, exactly the pop of style I was hoping for.
This quick project turned out to be one of my favorite DIYs yet, and the best part? The whole thing cost a fraction of what I would’ve spent on a brand-new bookshelf. Now I’ve got a stylish piece and a little story to go with it.
Have you ever rescued a piece of furniture and given it a new life? Let me know in the comments, I’d love to hear your stories!
I cannot believe how quickly 2024 went by. So many changes within the last few months for our family as we moved from Florida back to Texas. There was a point where we didn’t know where we were going to end up and had to live in an Airbnb for a couple of months! Thankfully, everything worked out and we’re finally in our new home and ready to start 2025.
As our kids get older, I can only imagine that life will continue to speed up, but I’m excited for all of the adventures that are in store for our family and yours! Wishing you all the best for 2025!
We’ve reached the end of the year and the busiest season of the year! My kids ask every year for an advent calendar and they absolutely love it. We’ve done a variety of advent calendars: candy, socks, activities, you name it! I will admit, their favorite has definitely been the candy ones, but I know they also love getting into the holiday spirit with Christmas activities.
Here is an advent calendar that you can print off and use for years. Knowing that every year is going to be different, you can also change the text so that you can plan the activities based on your schedule. The text can be changed in Canva and is free and easy to use!
Using a cutting mat and precision/exacto knife, start cutting 3 sides of each box on the Advent Calendar so that it opens up like a door. You don’t want to cut off all of the sides on each box.
To print out and/or change the text on the Activity Page, go to Canva and edit the text on the template.
To print out the Activity Page, select “Share” at the top right corner, choose Download and for file type, choose PDF Print. Once you’ve selected the file type, click download.
Line the Advent Calendar and Activity Page behind it.
If using a matted frame, tape the pages to the matte and line up the 2nd page. If using a frame without a matte, sides down to fit a 8×10 frame.

Another year has flown by, and we’re getting already getting ready for another one! I don’t know about you, but I’m grateful my kiddos are back and school and they’ve been able to enjoy some of their favorite sports this year. Our youngest started Kindergarten this year and I’m so glad she was able to start her first year of elementary school in person!
While 2021 still may not have been what we have wanted it to be, I’m hopeful that 2022 will be a better year!
What a crazy year 2020 has been! Just like many of you, I cannot wait until this year is over and I am waiting for things to get back to normal. While I know it will definitely be a while until that happens again, we are trying to make the most of it! Crossing my fingers things start to improve in 2021!
It blows my mind how many of you use this calendar year after year! I hope this continues to help you stay organized in 2021. Stay safe!
We moved into our brand new home the day before Thanksgiving last year making this our 7th home! This does not include all of our transition periods staying at one of our parents’ homes in between a few of those moves. We have lived in 4 different states, California, Idaho, Washington and currently Texas. It has been quite the adventure for us and our kids.
With every move I’ve found it usually takes me months before I’ve formed a plan of how I want to decorate my walls. My entry was lacking a bit of a warm welcome, and I finally found a solution! It was during the early stages of quarantine that I needed a small project to keep myself busy with all the free time we had after work, when the kids would normally occupy our evenings with sports.
This project was easy, not unbearably time consuming, and just what my entryway needed! I found everything I needed on Amazon:
All I needed to do was paint my letters white, and then after they dried I hung them up on the wall with 2 command strips on each letter. For me, the easiest way to hang it was starting from the bottom and then moving my way to the top so I knew how low I wanted my letters to be. I hung the wreath up with a nail to complete the farmhouse look. You could definitely change up this look during the holidays to make it more festive!
I know we’re still technically in the Summer season when we hit September, but in all fairness Fall does begin later in the month, and I am ready for some Fall. I am not a hot weather person, although I’m not a cold weather person either, but if I had to choose I would definitely prefer the Fall season over any other time of the year. 🙂
Since Fall is on my mind, I was inspired by it for this month’s wallpaper and printable! I took one of my favorite designs from the 2018 Printable Calendar, and changed up the colors to represent Fall, and I love it! Anyone else ready for some cooler temps?
