Whether you need storage, a place to rest your feet or an accent piece to compliment your furniture, you can’t go wrong with an ottoman!
I’m so thankful I decided on storage ottomans in our living room. They’ve been a game changer.
When it’s time to clean up at night, they’re the perfect place to store random toys and books 🙂
I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite storage ottomans for any budget.
Happy shopping!
I can’t believe I didn’t do this when we got our Frame TV 6 months ago!
This easy DIY TV frame was so easy to do and I had it completed in about 2 hours.
We’ve been so happy with our Frame TV but I knew an actual frame would make it look 100% better. And it did!
You can read all about our living room transformation here.
Let’s get started…
We have the 65″ Samsung Frame TV, so my cuts were 57.5″ and 33″. I cut 2 of each length out of the furring strips and the molding.
If your TV is a different size, you’ll need to measure the length and width, and then add on the width of one furring strip (3/4″) x 2 to the overall width measurement.
So if your TV measures 45″ x 27″, you’ll make (2) 45″ cuts and (2) 28.5″ cuts. You can reference the picture below to see the way I arranged the boards.
**I almost forgot about the sensor on my TV. I had to cut a small square out of the back of the bottom furring strip between 4″-6″ from the right side.
This allowed the sensor to still work properly. Thankfully, I didn’t have to clear the sensor in the front, only the bottom! Check with your specific TV and decide if you will also need to cut out a small opening for the sensor.
I did a quick sand with my orbital sander to smooth the boards out. I used 120 and 220 grit.
I used wood glue on each end and attached the furring strips using 1 1/4″ nails with my nail gun.
Then I put a layer of glue on the top of each furring strip and attached the molding with the same nails.
The top edge of the molding should perfectly match the outside edge of the furring strip.
I filled the holes with wood filler and lightly sanded them smooth with a sanding block.
I chose to paint my frame gold but this frame would also look beautiful stained! I used this gold spray paint and then also added a thin layer of Rub ‘n Buff to tone down the gold a little.
Disclaimer: You can still see a small section of the black frame of our TV. The molding I used wasn’t quite wide enough to completely cover it. However, I love the look!
It doesn’t bother me at all but that may be something to keep in mind if you’d prefer the black frame to be completely covered. You will just need a wider trim piece for the top of the frame.
I couldn’t be happier with this DIY TV Frame and I can’t believe I waited so long to build one.
It instantly elevated this space and it’s a beginner project that anyone can do!

Our bedroom has always been a catch-all.
For whatever reason, it’s always been the one room in our house where I toss random things and half of the space usually resembles a storage room instead of a master bedroom.
I was on a mission to change that!
I wanted to create a modern, organic space that felt calming and peaceful and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
First, let’s take a quick look at what this bedroom looked like when we bought this house.
Before we moved in, we removed the textured ceilings, replaced all of the flooring and painted the entire house white.
I had been thinking of this makeover for a few weeks, and I knew I wanted to create some kind of movement or texture on the walls.
I decided to use Venetian Glaze from Romabio and I am totally obsessed with this product!
It was super easy to apply and I love that I was able to choose any Benjamin Moore color. I chose the color Pashmina…it’s a true gray with gorgeous warm undertones.
I’ve had so many requests for a link to this bed and unfortunately I can’t link it.
This is the bed my parents bought for me when I moved to Nashville to go to college…can you believe that!?
It used to be a pretty maple color and I painted it black a couple of years ago. I considered stripping the paint and staining it, but decided to save myself hours of work and just roll with the black for now.
I knew I wanted dark wood nightstands but the ones I really loved were $2700. Just a *little* out of budget for me.
I found these unfinished dressers on Walmart and loved the shape of them.
It took a little less than 2 hours to put them both together and after a little sand and stain, I think they look amazing…especially for the price!
I put on a coat of wood conditioner, one coat of Dark Walnut stain and then finally a coat of Espresso gel stain.
I even stained the wooden knobs that came with the dressers and used them for the hardware!
I’ll list the decor I chose below. A few things I bought for the space, but most of them I already had!#bedroom-links
Bedding Color: Oatmeal
Lamp Shades (I found the lamps on Marketplace years ago for $20)
Curtains Color: Dutch Cocoa
