Well things have been crazy around here lately, not only are we moving, there is a tax deadline next week, and we are just a month away from our next market!! Who’s getting excited for that?! Needless to say, all that doesn’t leave much time to get stuff done on the new house. Here’s a…
Decorating for the seasons and / or holidays is not one of my strengths. Okay, let me rephrase that. Cleaning up the decorations that I have put up for the seasons and / or holidays is not one of my strengths. I have definitely had Christmas decorations up until February on more than one occasion.…
I am a child of the 80’s. My childhood was a wash of big bangs, wet and wild lipsticks, scrunchies, and peg-legged stonewashed jeans. Oh, and my 4th grade “boyfriend” sported a flat top haircut and hammer pants every darn day. Just for the record, I do NOT love any of the things I just…
Today we have a cute DIY project from Heather from Birdie Girl Photography. ENJOY! I made this flag bunting for my son Scout’s room. For someone like me who has minimal sewing skills, it was definitely NOT hard, and I really like how it turned out. 1) cut 8 inch x 10 inch triangles…
In honor of Sunday being the first day of fall (my absolute favorite time of year) I bring you some fun fall décor tutorials from around the web. Every year on the first day of Fall I bake a pie, and watch You’ve Got Mail while I pull out my festive décor. So hopefully these…
Last week I promised a fun and unique way to display your kids’ crazy artwork, so here it is! Since we paint a lot around here, we have a stack of paintings to the moon (and back, said Big Nutbrown Hare). I’m always looking for a way to display our masterpieces besides hanging them on…
This weekend I worked on a really fun project. I found this great table at a garage sale a couple weeks ago for just $20, well actually $30 because I couldn’t fit the table in my car so I paid $10 to have the guy deliver it to my house. This was a steal, this…
This crazy monsoon season has left me longing for fall. I like to sit inside and watch the storms (with my air conditioning cranked) sipping coffee just pretending we are in my favorite season. It’s all glorious until I open the door and remember that even though it is an absolute down pour outside it…
Today I thought it might be fun to revisit one of my favorite projects that have been featured on this blog, Mandy’s DIY Ottoman! It’s just such a great print and color. I still makes me smile every time I’m over at Mandy’s house. So pull up a chair and take some notes because this…
If you were to walk into my living room, you would not find a treasure trove of vintage goodies. In fact, my living room is much more IKEA than Vintage Market. But I do have one item that would qualify as “market worthy.” I affectionately call it the Faerie Tree. I made this project in…
