This year, instead of carving pumpkins, we decided to let the little guy in on the action and whip out some paint! He even got to choose his colors. Not a bad pallet, some calming neutrals for his pumpkin. We armed him with two paint brushes (one bristle, one foam, for some artistic variety. You know.) I must say, we were pretty impressed with his technique and artistic ability. And he only…
So, lately I’ve been trying to tackle little projects around the house. I like the feeling of accomplishment I get when I spend little to no money on a project. Something about it is so exhilarating! One of my most recent tasks was to get some art going on in Alex’s playroom. It’s basically a blank slate in there, with one piece of furniture and a mountain of toys, so it definitely…
Hi there! Today I am going to share a DIY for your kiddos! I am a part of a Mom’s Club and I was super pumped when they said we were gong to have a busy bag exchange! There were 10 moms participating and we all got to pick out which busy bag we wanted to make. We then made 10 of each and exchanged! So now, I have 10 awesome busy…
I’ve been saving beer bottles since summer. Call Hoarders: Buried Alive. Can you blame me? Pinterest is FULL of bottles wrapped in yarn and twine, sprayed and decorated in every which way. So, they have been sitting in the basement for a few months and now I actually wrapped them all up to go into the guest bedroom. I couldn’t find the colors of yarn I wanted, so I decided to wrap…
Hey guys! On Monday, I finally got around to making the wreath I’ve been drooling over for our master bedroom! I’m so happy with how it turned out! Just like I always dreamed. Here was my original inspiration from Etsy. Yeah, $58 was just not happening and imitation is the finest form of flattery, right? So, after drooling for about 6 months, I got down to making my own! I started with…
Hi all! Today I would like to share with you all my very own Pinterest fail. I was hoping to get some really cool art up in my guest bedroom before my sister and her family got here. Well, I did get some art up, but it was not great. Let’s just say when I sent a picture to Sarah to get her thoughts, she told me it looked like silly string.…
When I first saw this sign from Sarah Richardson on Sarah’s Summer House, I knew I needed one for my kitchen. It has only taken me a few years, but I finally got around to making a version of my own! While I would have loved to have the raised letters like in my inspiration photo, there was no way I was going to spend $2 per letter to get this…
Ever since we bought our house last April, I’ve been battling with myself over what area to work on first. We have done quite a bit to our living room, since we spend most of our time there, so I’m taking a break before I go overboard there. I’ve been searching and pinning like crazy for ideas for the rest of the house and now my Pinterest boards are filled to the…
Good morning! Today I thought I’d share a simple DIY that I completed yesterday! I have been searching for curtains to go in my son’s room but couldn’t find exactly what I wanted (especially any that were in my price range). Window coverings can be so pricey! I was super excited when I came across this tutorial over at Shanty 2 Chic for easy no-sew curtains. I did end up sewing the two hems…
