The Keeping Room

Jokes on you…

I’m so numb at this point, say what you want in the comments ✌️🤪 I’ve heard worse from my own kids I assure you 😅

Where’s the lie 😴

My friends always joke about me doing too much, and asking how I get it all done. The answer is I stay up until ungodly hours of the night doing DIY conversation hearts, ok? Now leave me be 🤪

Foyer Reno but it’s Reality TV PART 2

It’s the nose blowing for me 🤪I have a head cold and had no part in this week’s reno except tissues so…

Stay tuned for the latest in this current project - the foyer (foy-yay) 🥳 we are shiplapping the entire thing! And before you knock the shiplap and say it’s out, sorry. We live in Charleston, and shiplap will never go out of style down here 🌴

Stay tuned for more dramatic moments here at .keeping.room 🖤

I mean why? I’m just jamming anyways 😌

Listen, I’m not the one measuring and cutting on this project - that’s Chad’s hard work right there 💪the shiplap PRO! My job is the monotonous word filling and sanding, which takes no brain cells - just podcasts, music, sermons, mindless tasks of listening ☺️🥰

What part of projects do you like the best? Let me guess? The part where it’s done? 🤪

Editing our Foyer Project like it’s Reality TV part 1 🤣

Y’all this is the best trend. We jumped on this after seeing our friends and their funny spin on it! 🥰

Come back for Part 2, cuz I think this whole shiplapped foyer should be a reality tv show 🤣 in case you’re new here, hi! We are a husband and wife team that love to DIY our builder-grade home in Charleston, SC. Follow along for more home renovation tips and reality tv moments along the way 😉

Design secret 🤫

When we tell you, what you need is more trim and moldings, trust us 🤗

Adding shiplap, beefier crown and baseboards, board + batten, chair rails, pole wrap, wood slats, bead board, etc, you home will feel more custom, textured, give visual interest, and the list goes on!

The most important thing is resale. You’re increasing your home value because buyers love love custom homes with character 🌟 follow along our account because we LOVE to add trim everywhere around here 🤗🥰🩷

Call me in 6 years 🤪

I’m slammed. Literally beyond busy. Just find me in the garage and I’ll be chopping shiplap (or making Chad do it) and painting 🥰

But ilysm let’s get together soon 😍

DIY FRAME FOR TV REVEAL!

We are finally done this mini project of creating a frame for the Samsung frame tv 🖤this was a project that I did on my own (so proud), because Chad is slammed with work this time of year. And your girl gets impatient 🤣

Comment LINK for all materials used! Took me a few nights, but got it all done. Basically, I assembled wood trim together with glue and brackets, used Rub ‘n Buff for the metallic stain, glued one long wooden piece to the top to hang on the tv, and stapled some elastic to the corners for the frame to be taut to the tv.

Added one more thing to my list of “have never done before” things, and couldn’t be happier! 🥰🥳

Some people’s dreams are WILD 🫣

I could never. I’m making bagels in this video and that’s as adventurous as I’m getting these days being a mom. Who would climb a building!? WHO!?!?
