This is a sponsored project by Sunjoy.

This is the perfect time of year to be thinking about your spring into summer outdoor living space. 

By partnering with Sunjoy, maker of outdoor structures, Steph and I were able to transform her backyard into a personal retreat with a soft-top gazebo as the centerpiece. 

While scrolling through the Sunjoy website to determine which gazebo to choose, we were immediately drawn to this one.

As we live in Florida, I think you can figure out why! (Mosquito netting!)

Storage seems to be an ongoing struggle for many people. Just how do you store all the stuff that you need or want to keep? By DIYing storage you can create exactly what you need, for the stuff you need to store.

Here are five unexpected DIY solutions to try out!

One thing you can always count on as a homeowner is always searching for better and more efficient storage! We are no exception.

Here are a variety of storage options for garages; especially if your garage is also your workshop like ours.

Steph is an original Harry Potter fan. We have fun memories of staying up till midnight to purchase the original books. Good times!

With her love of all things Harry Potter, she wanted to share that with her niblings once each turned 10.

This past December was Andrew's turn when he turned 10. To celebrate and to introduce him to the Harry Potter series, Steph purchased the entire book collection for him for his birthday.

To make the gift even more special, she designed a book crate especially for him to store his books.

* We are brand ambassadors for Wall Control and they provided the product.

With almost any hobby, sport, or fitness activity, there is always stuff that is needed which then must be stored!

Steph has been utilizing Apple Fitness + for yoga and other exercise and has accumulated a storage tub full of essential gear. Up to now, she's stored that stuff in a storage tub in the living room.  It was not a pretty sight!

She came up with a clever idea to create a mobile storage unit utilizing two panels of Wall Control to store and to hide away her exercise gear. Take a look at how it all came together.
