					<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve been following along for a minute, you know our fireplace has had several lives. I&#8217;ve always had the mindset of wanting to &#8220;honor the history&#8221; of our historic home, so looking back over those modern and boho iterations of this fireplace make me reeeeally cringe. What was I thinking? Over the years, I&#8217;ve<a class="moretag" href="https://realitydaydream.com/paint-a-fireplace-to-look-like-real-wood/"> [...] </a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When we first bought our historic Federal Colonial home, it was truly frozen in time. While it needed a LOT of work, it had so much character and potential. And one of the things that immediately captured our hearts was the entryway with this curvy staircase. The most obvious priority was to remove the decades-old<a class="moretag" href="https://realitydaydream.com/entryway-refresh/"> [...] </a>]]></description>

I love a scalloped moment, so Nick and I set out to build two scalloped planters for our front porch! *This post is sponsored by our friends<a class="moretag" href="https://realitydaydream.com/diy-scalloped-planter-tutorial/"> [...] </a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a minute since I&#8217;ve done a crafty craft with my kids. They are all creative in their own ways, but it can be hard to find a project that everyone truly enjoys&#8230; especially now that they&#8217;re getting older. I fully expected my 13-year-olds to reject this fun, but they were totally into it!<a class="moretag" href="https://realitydaydream.com/32788-2/"> [...] </a>]]></description>

This is our take on a fun Plinko or pinball game, with a racing element! And the ultimate twist is that it&#8217;s gumballs! It doesn&#8217;t quite feel right to call it a DIY gumball machine.

We have this blank space to the left of the lockers that we desperately need for storage. Think off-season items, and a place to put things that need to be returned to the store.

The cracked, peeling paint is the first thing people see when they come to our house&#8230; and not only is it nasty, it&#8217;s also such a weird pink color. Why?
