How to paint your mixer
I wanted this teal mixer so bad 5 years ago. While I still love the color teal my style has just evolved and I no longer accent with this color in our home. I’ve been loving the earthy tones and mid-century modern/ modern farmhouse vibes. Think Magnolia, Hearth and Hand, Studio McGee. Around Christmas a…
Kids Bathroom
I will be honest the thought of remodeling a bathroom in our house totally freaked me out. It just felt like such a huge undertaking! So hence why we hadn’t touched the 3 in our house. With so many other home projects completed (YAY!) these dang bathrooms started to feel like it was their turn,…
Painted vases and books DIY
With the change of the seasons I was ready to update my shelf décor. I was really feeling neutral colors and I knew I also wanted to add some stacked books or boxes (like this Studio Mcgee box). I had seen others on social media take vases from second hand stores and paint them. I…
Master Bedroom Refresh
A nice bedroom isn’t something we’ve ever had. To be honest our bedroom has always just been a drop zone. However after giving both kids bedrooms a refresh earlier in the year we decided it was Mom and Dads turn! 🙂 This was also the only room (and attached master bathroom – that’s a project…
Laundry Room Refresh
A little while back I won an Instagram contest which was $125 for a DIY project. That got me thinking … what DIY project do I want to tackle next. I put up a poll on my Instagram page and 80% voted for the Laundry Room. Gotta give the people on the gram what they…
Boys Boho Bedroom
In our house we have kiddos who are only 12 months apart (Irish Twins). They don’t know life without each other and really we don’t either. With their closeness often comes buying two of everything. With the wrap up of our daughters room refresh (see previous blog post) we knew we needed to move on…
Girls boho bedroom design
Do you ever decorate a space for someone else and then instantly want it for yourself? That is what happened with my daughters room remodel. Like any project we searched for some inspiration and then took it from there. I knew we wanted Beddys for her bed. We started by searching the designs to see…
Kitchen | Before and After
It’s hard to believe that we tackled our kitchen remodel 4 years ago already. This was our first big project as home owners. The housing market was pretty slim when we purchased but the location of our home totally sold us. There were parts of the house that we didn’t love – mostly the main…
The Mack Shack | 12×12 shed transformation
In 2018 we took the plunge and had an 18 X 36 ft inground pool installed in our Michigan backyard. While sadly pool season is shortened due to the climate in the mitten state we knew it would still provide us plenty of pool days and memories with friends and family. Around the pool we…
Hello there!
Hello there! I’m Robyn the girl behind the mitten mack keyboard. The girl that is constantly rearranging her house, begging her hubby to tackle more DIY projects (he LOVES projects – don’t let him fool you) and the girl making endless Target runs because well ya gotta check that dollar spot… am I right?! Before…
