How to Make a Temporary Place Feel Like Home

written by Lauren Leave a Comment

When it comes to creating a healthy home—both mentally and emotionally—a space truly needs to feel like your own. Without that unmistakable sense of connection, it’s difficult to feel fully at ease. The space can feel impersonal, more like a stopover than a true home. Maybe you’re in a short-term rental for work, a six-month relocation, or a furnished apartment while waiting on your next big move.—it's clean and it’s comfortable, but it doesn’t quite feel like home. It’s the kind of space where you can truly relax—where you can unwind without being distracted by bare walls or furnishings Continue reading...

As summer winds down, I finally completed a do-it-yourself project I started at the beginning of the season—a DIY staircase gallery wall. I had a gallery wall of sorts there before, but everything was hung a bit haphazardly. This time, I took careful measurements and used my new Cigman CM-S02 Laser Level to get everything straight and looking nice! I think it came out looking great! I just used frames I already had for my gallery wall, but if you put a gallery wall together, you might want to think about the kind of frames you choose. You could choose matching wood-toned ones or all black Continue reading...

How to Make a Staircase Gallery Wall – Part One

written by Lauren

A staircase gallery wall layout

A few years ago, I created a gallery wall of family photos along the wall that runs next to our home's staircase to our second story. Our home's stairwell is a great place for a gallery wall since it's the first thing you see upon entering our home. I started the gallery wall when my kids were little, and I've added to it bit by bit—which resulted in a layout that was a bit chaotic. I recently got a very cool Cigman CM-S02 level—which is an awesome tool for all sorts of DIY projects—so I decided to finally make the layout of the gallery wall more orderly. Plus, now that my kids are older and Continue reading...
