About Megan

Hi, I'm Megan!

I am a military spouse, mom to 3 young boys, and a constant creator. Thanks to my husband’s career, we have moved 9 times in the last 16 years, and I’ve made it my personal mission to decorate, organize, and re-imagine each rental space until it feels like home.

I love navy blue, a good peel-and-stick wallpaper, my Cricut machine, and really hot coffee; and I genuinely believe that…

…any space can be transformed into a place you love!

“Were you allowed to paint that?" 👆 It's a question I frequently get from readers! But having lived in 9 different rental homes over the last 16 years, I've learned A LOT about what surfaces you CAN paint (without risking your security deposit)...and some of them might even surprise you! Over on the blog today, I’m highlighting 10 different areas you can safely paint in a rental (and 5 you’ll need to learn to love exactly as they are!)

I’ve been LOVING the plastic baggie organizers I’ve been seeing everywhere. But since our kitchen is low on drawer space, I didn’t think it was a solution for us. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Until I realized they aren’t just for drawers! 🙌🏻 Stop by the blog today to see where I hung this awesome organizer! 😍 See it here: @thehomesihavemade https://thehomesihavemade.com/organize-ziplock-bags/ #organization #getorganized #organizedkitchen #organizedpantry #pantryorganization #pantrygoals #ziploc #ziplock #ziplockbag #diyhomeprojects #diyhome #rentalliving #rentallife

Swapping out kitchen counters is often perceived as complicated, expensive, and...permanent! (Which is probably why renters usually resort to peel-and-stick products to cover ugly counters instead.) But swapping out a countertop…especially on an island…can (oftentimes) be as easy as un-doing a few screws! Today over on the blog, I’m breaking down exactly why and how we installed this👆butcher block island countertop to completely transform our rental kitchen! 🙌 This might be one of my favorite "rental hacks" ever!

Making custom return address labels is one of the easiest labeling projects you can tackle with your Cricut machine! 😎 But the steps will differ a bit based on which machine you have! 💌 Over on the blog today, I'm breaking down BOTH methods for making totally custom return address labels (including some made with that oh-so-shiny NEW silver @cricut Smart Label 😍) See it: @thehomesihavemade https://thehomesihavemade.com/return-address-labels-with-cricut/ #cricutmade #cricuttutorial #cricut #cricutlife #cricutlove #cricutlabels #smartlabel #cricutjoy #cricutmaker #cricutexplore #cricutvinyl #cricutvinylprojects #cricutcards #label #happymail

If there’s one thing our current home has, it’s closets! 🤗 And with many of our larger decor projects out of the way, I’m slowly making my way through each one. 🙌🏻 Today over on the blog, I’m giving a tour of our organized bathroom closet and sharing my very best tips for creating functional storage that looks pretty great too! 👊🏻 See it: @thehomesihavemade https://thehomesihavemade.com/how-to-organize-a-bathroom-closet/ #organization #organized #getorganized #bathroomshelves #bathroomorganization #bathroomsofinstagram #bathroomorganizer #closetorganization #closetgoals #closetsofinstagram #shelfie #organizedmom #diyblogger #rentalliving #rentaldecor
