I cannot even believe I am typing this but the bac I cannot even believe I am typing this but the backsplash is FINISHED! 😍🎉😭 swipe to see the before!
.
I have never been so exhausted in my life. This project sucked every bit of life out of me 😂 but I am so glad I persevered! Before tackling this project, I had never demoed, drywalled, tiled OR grouted. I sound super prepared for a project like this, right? 😂🤪 Never underestimate the power of hard work and determination! Take it one step at a time! Everything is saved under my “new backsplash” highlight.
.
Tile: Casablanca Carrara Marble Herringbone from @riadtile and it is STUNNING.
.
Cabinet color: Pure White @sherwinwilliams painted by @olympianpainting

Did you enjoy watching the process!?

I have been searching for a new baby monitor for A I have been searching for a new baby monitor for AJs room and I finally found the perfect one; the @motorolababyofficial Connect40! We wanted something that had access through an app but also had a separate viewing device so that we weren't always killing the battery on our phones. I love that it can be mounted anywhere or used on a shelf to fit your needs or used for travel. It can pan/tilt, play music and also has the option to record through @hubble.connected .

Making progress slowly but surely! . Things I’v Making progress slowly but surely! 
.
Things I’ve learned today:
1. Herringbone probably isn’t the best pattern to do for your first time tiling
2. You need a raincoat for the wet saw
3. If you don’t give up, you will learn a lot in the process!
.
I’ll be honest, I’ve almost thrown in the towel about 4 times during this project. Today, I wanted to quit but I had to remind myself... remember when you couldn’t get the tile off so you took a hammer to the wall? Remember when you didn’t know how to do drywall, but you researched and DID IT? This is no different! Learning is all about trial and error and we are finally making progress! The finish line is so close!
.
I could use some words of encouragement 😂 are you enjoying following along with this project?

You guys! I finally have a WORK BENCH! I feel so o You guys! I finally have a WORK BENCH! I feel so official. 🤩 what do you think!? When we moved into this house, garage storage and functionality was at the top of our priority list. We decided to kick off 2021 by finally tackling the garage! I have partnered with @extraspace to bring you some garage storage solutions. Function was our main priority with this project. IG has this way of making you feel like everything has to be “photo worthy” but sometimes functionality wins.
.
We got some new shelving to keep things organized and off the floor and we installed this work bench area so that I can keep all of my tools in one place! I am taking over the @extraspace stories today to give you a full garage tour… I’ll meet you over there! #sponsored

@extraspace offers amazing self-storage options for decluttering, moving and more at their storage facilities nationwide. #myextraspace

I decided it was probably time to replace the livi I decided it was probably time to replace the living room rug since we have had our last one for about 5ish years. In stories, I showed both rug options and I ended up picking the Sadlier from @boutiquerugs ! Isn’t she pretty!? I love the chunky knit (which is surprisingly very soft!) because I think it brings some warmth into this space!

So in Come Stay Awhile fashion it’s safe to say So in Come Stay Awhile fashion it’s safe to say things have escalated quickly over here 😂 🔨 here is a sneak peek at our new tile that’s going in from @riadtile !
.
I decided that instead of spending the next 10 years chiseling away each tile to just cut away the drywall and replace it. Should be easy enough? 😂 I was sitting here looking at this mess I’ve made and thinking... Amanda... who do you think you are?! 😂 I am by no means a drywaller! Heck, I just started calling myself a real DIYer like 2 months ago.
.
It’s important to me that I learn and G R O W this year. (Remember, that’s my word for 2021) so even when I know have a skill or haven’t done a project before... that’s not holding me back! GO FOR IT and learn as you go! You’ll never regret it and there’s nothing that can’t end up being hired out if you realllly get in a pinch!

What’s a project you’d love to tackle but are afraid you don’t have the skills?

I’d like to caption this “what the hell have w I’d like to caption this “what the hell have we gotten ourselves into?” 😂 
.
Backsplash demo started today... my intention was to start a small section behind the stove to see what I’m in for... that turned into fully going for it 😂 guys I can’t control my impulsive DIY tendencies. Am I scared of this project? Uh yes. BUT I believe there is nothing that can’t be fixed!
.
The kitchen is almost complete... follow along in stories for the process! Today we had a little too much fun in stories 😂

I always try to start the new year not with a reso I always try to start the new year not with a resolution but a word to focus on. My word this year is G R O W 🌱  Grow as a mom, as a wife, as a Christian, as an entrepreneur...
.
Being a mom has brought me new purpose and a new excitement for life. I want to grow and be better not only for myself, but for my family. What is your word for 2021? Don’t have one yet? Think about it for a second and drop it in the comments below!
.
I thought I would share my favorite room transformation from 2021. This kitchen transformation is the poster child for the power of paint! Painted cabinets and a painted backsplash and we have a whole new kitchen! Huge thanks to @olympianpainting for being awesome.
