Can’t believe it’s the same door 👀

I’ve wanted the look of a wood door here forever, but replacing our perfectly good metal door definitely wasn’t in the budget.

I knew that I could fake it with some paint & gel stain and I am OBSESSED with how it turned out.

Application tips:

✨Clean the surface with a prep solution - I love Krud Kutter Gloss-Off because it cleans and roughs up the surface at the same time!

✨Lightly sand the surface (I used 120 grit) and remove any dust.

✨Use any paint in a wood-tone beige and apply to the door with a brush in long continuous strokes to mimic wood grain.

✨Apply gel stain with a soft synthetic brush - here I used Varathane Total Control Water-Based Gel Stain in Dark Walnut. Let it dry for a couple minutes then use a dry chip brush in long continuous strokes to remove excess.

✨Tackle the door in sections - tape off each section as you go so you avoid any overlapping brush strokes! Water-based stain like this one dries nice and quick!

✨Apply a topcoat like Varathane’s Triple Thick Clear Finish (my faveeee)

The best part? This is a project you can actually tackle in one day. Linked everything I used in the pinned comment!

kinda chic to take euro-trip with your toddler 💁🏻‍♀️

We’ve taken Isaac on a trip every summer (Iceland, Hawaii, and now France) and I absolutely love that we have memories of him at every age in an amazing place; it’s like a little gauge by which we remember how he has been at every stage of life.

This is also the third time we’ve used Flytographer | Book a Photographer (partner) and I cannot say enough how much we cherish the photos we have through them. They’re hanging on every wall of our home.

Through Flytographer, you can book a professional photographer in your vacation destination at a reasonable rate. You get to choose the photographer whose style you prefer, you gain their local expertise to find the best locations, and you get high quality family photos to hold onto forever!

Cannot recommend them enough and you can use the link in my bio to save 10% on your first shoot! Check out their site to see what options they have for your next vacay - they have photographers in over 350 cities.

Traveling with a toddler has been a whole new adventure lol but we’re loving it despite the challenges. What’s a tip or hack you have for traveling with kids?! Share in the comments!



Disclosure: This shoot was gifted by Flytographer | Book a Photographer. Our photographer was Mary in Montmartre, Paris.

I’d love to educate Airbnb hosts on what “blackout” means 😐

If you have a baby or toddler who needs to nap on vacation, it can be so frustrating sometimes when supposed “blackout” blinds actually look like this during the daytime.

Tinfoil + a little spray bottle of water is all you need to *actually* blackout those windows. My son was busting out 4 hour naps in this room in France after we used this travel hack 👍

Send this to all your friends travelling with little ones this summer! It’s a life saver and so cheap/easy to pack!
