I needed to get my craft mojo back, so while I was shopping at Michael’s the other day, I saw these… They were pretty, but they were $19.99, and I knew they could be easily replicated, and even a little cuter! :) So I bought all the stuff to make them. 2 little flower pots, moss, styrofoam balls, 2 wooden… View Post
Monday I showed you all my pantry makeover. Thank you so much for all of the comments!! It’s so exciting that y’all get all giddy about a new pantry too! :) The carousels that my Dad made were a huge hit. I knew they would be and so I wanted to devote a separate post to them. I know some… View Post
Well, well well! I never thought I could love a pantry as much as I do now. Actually, I never thought I would even give the pantry a makeover. After all, it’s just a pantry. But boy oh boy, how life changing this pantry makeover was. Seriously. Let me first give props and a BIG thank you to my Dad…. View Post
This post takes a lot of courage y’all. It should be quite humorous for you, embarrassing for me. Just remember that everyone starts from somewhere and has to make do with what they have, and people’s decorating styles change okay? :) Here is how our dining room looked for about a year after we moved into this beautiful beige home….

To satisfy my love of all kinds of different styles and colors, I decided to do board and batten on the one big wall in our upstairs multipurpose room. :) The upstairs will have a different vibe than the downstairs, and I think that’s so fun! Probably a design rule no-no, but I don’t follow rules. :) I know I… View Post
Well me and the hubs did a DIY project all by ourselves! We installed crown in our dining room. It was actually very easy, inexpensive, and anyone can do this, trust me. I love doing things to our home that adds value, and architectural features definitely do that. I’ll give a brief tutorial as I go. Here is our dining… View Post
Hi everyone! I saw this idea over on AliLilly and I thought it was pretty brilliant. She made a CHEAP and EASY photo box, and the photos for her jewelry look like they came from a professional now! And no, she doesn’t have a fancy smancy camera or anything. But you could use this idea for a lot of photos… View Post
I found this bench at the thrift store for $5. Can you believe that?? I thought it was so adorable, but my husband, ummm notsomuch. He seriously wanted to put it by the curb for trash pick up. Shame on him! And I’m sorry, this has to probably be one of the worst “before” photos in all of blogland, but… View Post
I had a few rosette flowers left over from when I put them on our lamps in the master bedroom. I thought I would put them to good use and make a wreath! For the tutorial on how to make these easy and lovely things, click here. First, I started out with a small foam wreath from the dollar store…. View Post
Remember my “Difference Molding Can Make” post? If you don’t, I’ll be nice and show you the after picture again when we put up the chair rail and framed boxes… I liked it, but wanted to try something different. We have textured walls, so I was a little scared to try this, but I have seen others do board and… View Post
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 to make a pillowcase dress… View Post
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 up walking the aisles at… View Post
