Empowering you to create all things beautiful ™
Hey hey! I’m SO excited about this project! And I have to say it felt awesome to be creative and crafty again. It’s been too long. Ha! But anyway, as the title of my post says, here’s the Scrabble Tile Wall Art I created for Ellie’s nursery. I’m in love! It’s one of many projects [...]
Yayyy, the kitchen backsplash is done and I’m so excited to show you all today! Changing out the backsplash made a huge difference in our kitchen and I’m so happy. Bye bye beige on beige backsplash and floor, and hello new brighter subway tile! Yes, that’s just a little peek. I have to show you [...]
Well Christmas is literally just around the corner, I can’t believe it! And if you are planning on making an advent calendar this year, it’s already time to start thinking about it since they need to be displayed by December 1. :) So I’ve compiled a list of my 10 favorite DIY advent calendars floating [...]
Yes, that’s right, sewing. I’ve been wanting to learn for a long time, and I finally did. We’ve had a brand spankin’ new machine my mom got us for Christmas that hasn’t been touched really since then. But last week a sweet friend of mine, Sherri, came over and taught me. She showed me how [...]
Well, luckily you can’t see my tears through your computer screen, but my little princess is going to be 1 year old on Friday. It’s been very emotional for me planning her little party. I just can’t believe she’s almost 1. It doesn’t take much for me to cry or tear up. I’ve been tearing [...]
Remember this drawer I found for a buck at the resale shop? Well, I got to thinking how this would make a great candle holder! Then my instinct was right, and stumbled upon this lovely color of spray paint… Ohhh Catalina Mist, how I love you! I saw this shade at Hobby Lobby and [...]
This was probably the easiest little project I’ve done to date. But it’s sooo cute!! I had these 2 books that I got at a resale shop recently… Well I took that blue one and fixed her up! First I spray painted it Heirloom White. I did tape around all of the pages so I [...]
I did another little project over the weekend with the 4 remaining little flower pots I found at the thrift store recently. You can click here for that post. We have this area above our front door in the entryway… So I decided to use my 4 little pots and sit them on the ledge [...]
Have you inherited an ugly piece of furniture whenever you got married? I have. It was our dining room buffet table. I’ve lived with it for 4 years now, and it was time for an overhaul when I found this hutch at Goodwill to go on top of it. Goodwill had it marked for $99, [...]
…until I did a search on Google and saw that these have been made…like all over the place! I should have never searched to make sure. What a buzz-kill! It was just too clever that someone other than me thought this idea up. Haha. But, I’m still going to show you! So, remember one of [...]
First of all, I don’t really think what we have is considered a “porch” but I didn’t know what else to call it. Entryway, walkway, or is it a porch? So, here is our porch (or entryway, walkway?) before. And this picture was from December when it snowed because I was a bad blogger and [...]
Remember these pots I found at the thrift store recently? Well part of sprucing up my front porch included painting them. I haven’t done the small pots yet…those are for inside the house, I think. So I painted them Rustoleum satin black. I don’t have pictures of that because that is pretty self explanatory. :) [...]
I wanted to give a quick tutorial on how I made these rosettes for the lamps in our master bedroom redo. I’m sure I am not the first person to do it this way, but all of the tutorials I saw included tying a knot and using a pencil, and/or some sort of sewing was [...]
My front door has been so naked without anything on it. I don’t know why wreaths stress me out, but they do. Then once I do it, it’s SO easy. But all of those aisles at Hobby Lobby with strands of greenery and flowers everywhere just makes me nervous. I’m a dork, I know. I [...]
When I redid our master bedroom, I didn’t want to buy a lot of art pieces to hang on the wall because I was on a budget, and I wanted something more original. And I also was liking the simplicity of the room, and didn’t feel like I had to fill up every inch of [...]
*UPDATE* – This room has been redone again, so click here for the latest redo. :) Well our room is just about finished so I’m going to show it now. :) I know you probably want to see pictures first, but let me just talk a little bit…or a lot. This will be a long [...]
Part of the master bedroom redo involved updating these nightstands. These are actually living room end tables, but we use them as our nightstands. They serve their purpose, they are pretty (now they are), and they were free! I’ve actually had them many years. They came with my furniture set my mom bought for me [...]
I’ve been a busy bee this week. I’m working on our master bedroom and can’t wait for it to be finished and show you! I still have to add a few finishing touches, but hopefully by next week I can do a reveal. :) I have big plans for our room that will come in [...]
Have you seen these candle holders from Williams Sonoma before? Aren’t they pretty? Way too pricey though. Here is a knock off version that will cost you only $2 to make! I first saw this idea from Get Your Martha On when she made her version here. They looked so beautiful so I just [...]
Ever have one of those projects that goes great in your head, but turns out to be a doozy? Yea, this was one of them for me. Luckily though, I am pleased with the final result. :) I went to the thrift store last week and spotted this lovely thing. It was $35 and in [...]
Do you have an entertainment center that has glass cabinets like we do? The kind where you can see all the junk gaming systems, unorganized DVD’s, and anything else that landed in there? Well, I hate clutter as much as I hate roaches. Actually, I am terrified of roaches, but that’s for a different post [...]
