Sorry for my extended absence…my hubby just graduated with his PhD (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and we’ve had family in town. SO very proud of him! He’s amazing! 🙂 Our poor front porch has been sorely neglected since we bought our house a year ago. We threw our wooden rockers on one side and that was all the […]
Candlestick Makeover
The last time I went garage sailing, I spotted this great set of candlesticks. I loved their curvy shape, the fact that they were solid wood, and that each candlestick was unique yet coordinated. I am not a huge fan of taper candles, but knew I could give these babies a makeover to accommodate pillar candles. They […]
Playroom Progress: Closet Clean Up
I mentioned in a recent post that we have been juggling a bunch of projects right now, trying to work on them all at the same time. Let’s all just laugh at that now, ok? Because everyone knows that working on multiple projects at once never happens quickly when you have a full work schedule and an energetic cutie pie running […]
Messy Mc Messerton
Every now and then, Hubby and I will get a bunch of great project ideas and unintentionally end up with a million projects going on at the same time. Yup, it’s one of those times right now. You should see our garage. We’ve been giving something large a makeover, something little a makeover, scored something […]
Springing up the Front Door
I know it’s not technically spring yet, but I’m pretending, ok? I ditched our Christmas/winter wreath and the door has been naked ever since, screaming for a new wreath. After searching Pinterest for inspiration, I mashed a couple ideas together to come up with my wreath. I gotta say, I pretty much love how my […]
Playroom Progress: Fingerprint Art
I’m still trudging along as slow as molasses on the playroom gallery wall. I’m reaching the finish line, though! Hopefully, once I frame the artwork I bought at a craft show last month, I’ll be able to hang everything up! After creating this elephant painting with Little One, I decided to try another piece of kid-made artwork with […]
Christmas Tree Crafts
As I was decorating our fireplace mantel, I was struggling to find something large to put up on one side. I was thinking about doing these wire trees, but was afraid they wouldn’t feel substantial enough for our oversized fireplace. My friend Amy posted a picture of her fireplace and I caught a glimpse of […]
DIY Christmas Tree Skirt
Last year on after Christmas sales, we snagged a big variety box of silver ornaments at Target for 50-75% off. I’m really loving the silver on our tree this year! Bad news, though, for our $6 gold, cheapie Christmas tree skirt that we bought our first married Christmas. It looked awful with the silver/red Christmas […]
Sweet and Simple Christmas Centerpiece
It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas at our house! I still can’t believe it’s already time to put up Christmas decorations, though. I feel like it’s still July… I’ll post later about our tree soon, but in the meantime, I’ll show you our table centerpiece. Ta da! I left the table runner I […]
Playroom Progress: Kid Made Art
Every year during the holiday season, we put ourselves on a spending freeze to save money for gifts. This means that home improvement projects get put on hold until after Christmas. I have a long list of house projects I’d like to get done soon, so I’ve been contemplating how to do some of them […]
