Chaos By Liza

POV: you become the test shipment and suddenly your mailbox turns into a treasure chest 💌✨

Sandra's Eccentric Adornments sent me the most beautiful handmade resin necklace + rings and I’m honestly obsessed. Every piece feels like tiny wearable art 🌙🫶

Feeling very lucky to be her test shipment because LOOK AT THESE 😭✨

Closet renovation update.

Yesterday I tried mixing leftover paint colors… and today I officially gave up on all of them.

Instead I matched the paint color to my bedroom comforter and pillows so the space would feel more cohesive.

Did this decision create a giant paint mess on the basement floor?
Yes.

Did I have to clean it all up before finishing?
Also yes.

But somehow it actually turned out really nice in the end 🤍

Closet renovation update.

Instead of buying new paint, I tried mixing leftover paint the previous owners left behind to see what colors I could create.

Now I have a few DIY paint options… and absolutely no idea which one to use.

Budget DIY projects always turn into a little arts and crafts experiment.

Calm doesn’t have one form 🤍 sometimes it’s mixing paint and hoping for the best.

Paper mâché lamp experiment for my home office renovation.

I genuinely have no idea if this will work… but we’re trusting the DIY process.

Office makeover part 4 and the lamp is officially in its chaotic craft era.

I accidentally made grown-up Dunkaroos and now I can’t go back.

Baby cookies dipped in Dunkaroos frosting might be the most nostalgic snack idea I’ve had in a while.

Childhood snacks… but upgraded for adult snack time.

Calm doesn’t have one form 🤍 sometimes it’s cookies and frosting.

My kids wanted to play dress up, so I decided to join them.

Today I put on a ballet outfit, tiara, and my pointe shoes and practiced for a few minutes… partly for fun, partly for my inner child.

Sometimes joy looks like letting yourself play along.

Calm doesn’t have one form 🤍 sometimes it’s dressing up like a ballerina.

Home office renovation update.

Today’s progress wasn’t glamorous, but it mattered. I cleaned the paint mess off the floor and kept the DIY momentum going.

Building a cozy workspace takes time… especially when you’re doing it yourself.

Calm doesn’t have one form 🤍 sometimes it’s just cleaning up the chaos.

Home Office Reno – Part 3 🛠️

Tonight’s live recap:
paper mâché-ing a lamp for my basement home office makeover.

Apparently my renovation strategy is equal parts:
DIY
craft chaos
and trusting the process.

Slow progress is still progress when you’re building a workspace you love.

Calm doesn’t have one form 🤍
sometimes it’s glue, newspaper, and questionable design choices.

Day 2 of my basement home office renovation.

The plan was simple: clean yesterday’s mess.

Did I clean it?

No.

But I installed a wall sconce, so technically that’s progress.

The light is blinking a little weird though, so we may have accidentally added a haunted lighting feature to the renovation 👻

Slow DIY progress > no progress.

Calm doesn’t have one form 🤍
sometimes it’s installing lights instead of cleaning.
