A few weeks ago, I posted a picture of Nick’s Rainbow Birthday Cake to Instagram. The girls are old enough to want to get involved in things like birthdays, so when they proclaimed that they wanted to make their daddy a rainbow tie-dye cake, I was happy to oblige! And he was just grateful to have cake. Since posting that pic, several of you have begged me to post a tutorial. And since I ... [ Read More ]
How to Stencil your Backsplash
Well it’s been a week, and I STILL LOVE my chartreuse kitchen cabinets! It was fun to watch the wide array of comments flow in. I think it’s fair to say... you either loved it or ya hated it. And that’s ok! A lot of my design choices are off the wall... it’s just my style. And you still read my blog, sooooo... I love to mix different design genre’s to create my own personal style. If having ... [ Read More ]
Cutout Silhouette Plaques out of Wood!
If you’ve been around our little blog for a few moons, you might remember that we made wall plaques with the girls’ silhouettes when they were babes. We used slabs of oak and vinyl as a stencil to paint over. (Full Tutorial HERE) I’m in the middle of making one for Cypress, and let’s just say her profile looks a LOT different with all that hair. How did we have bald babies (for the first ... [ Read More ]
Woodshop Organization Spray Paint Rack
When we bought this house, we mutually agreed that the garage was Nick’s domain, and the house was mine... at least with regards to what goes where. But as the years have passed, we’ve both infiltrated each other’s domain. To Nick’s surprise, he found that he actually did have an opinion about design elements in our home. And to MY surprise, I found that I can build shit. Like with my own two ... [ Read More ]
Colorful Wood Stain Artwork on Furniture
Last week I shared a sneak peek on Instagram of a new decorative staining project I’ve been working on. I’ve been wanting to try staining with various colors, and when RustOleum sent me some of their new stain shades to play with using my Wood Stain Art Technique, it was only a matter of time! We’ve had this really amazing clawfoot table taking up room in our garage for awhile now. The previous ... [ Read More ]
Fabric Painted Onesies {Big Summer BLOWOUT!}
I know the movie Frozen is SO LAST YEAR. It came and went like Brittany Spears. But one thing that lives on is this hilarious scene that Nick and I quote ALL.THE.TIME. Don’t sit there and try to tell me that Oaken isn’t your favorite character. ANYWAY. My bestie Dana was over for dinner a few weeks ago, and I was holding Cypress who was ‘working on a big one’ (which, these days, is ... [ Read More ]
Repurposing Bamboo Blinds into Art!
Remember how we recently chopped up our bamboo blinds to custom fit them to our windows and saved hundreds of dollars? Best idea EVER. After cutting them to size, Nick decided to save the scraps… because we might be able to repurpose them! Haven’t I trained him well? It was actually his idea to make these into hanging wall art. We brainstormed design ideas, and decided on painting stripes… ... [ Read More ]

FUN RIGHT?! Welcome to THE MOST SIMPLE and rad tutorial of all time. Gather the following: Quart paint cans Oil-based paint in bright colors (we used RustOleum!) Lids from a oatmeal ... [ Read More ]
Laundry Room Ironing Board Wall Organizer
I’ve been doing a whole lotta nothin since Cypress was born. We snuggle, she has a bottle, I change her diaper, and then she naps. It’s a 3 hour rotation we’ve got her on, and it’s glorious. I’ve gotten no less than 9 hours of sleep each night since she’s been born. (don’t hate!) But! A girl can only be idle for so long. I need to have a project in the works, or I start feeling very ...

Operation Laundry Room {The Backsplash}
As promised, we’re back with the tile installation in the ‘Luxury Laundry Suite’. I call it that because it’s so obnoxiously awesome. So awesome in fact… Nick and I pulled some chairs in and drank our coffee in there this morning. That’s actually a lie. But we seriously considered it. ({click here for a recap of this whole room transformation}} As you know, we have strong opinions ... [ Read More ]
