Well it’s that time of year when we’re all pretty much OVER WINTER. It’s only fun for so long… until it’s not fun. It’s just cold. I’m not usually one to complain about winter (especially when I’m snowboarding), but lately I keep catching myself daydreaming about balmy days… the girls swinging, picnics, sidewalk chalk, and fresh spring blooms. I found this amazing pic on Instagram via Amanda ... [ Read More ]

Old Papasan turned Canopy / Reading Nook
I definitely think there’s a connection between a creative personalities and hoarding tendencies. I mean, obviously there are different levels of hoarding, and some are downright unhealthy. I’m not collecting empty pizza boxes, and broken hula hoops. all I’m trying to say is that... I SAVE STUFF for one of two reasons: It’s sentimental I’m going to use it someday. For SOMETHING *this ... [ Read More ]
Build a Custom Frame out of Trim Pieces!
Good Tuesday to you! How’s your eternal winter treating you? Did you catch that Frozen reference? I think when I posted about our epic comforter fail in our bedroom, it reminded me how neglected that room has been since then... and I’ve found myself adding little things to warm it up! We had this foam-core print of the girls from their newborn photoshoot with the fabulous Molly Long, and ... [ Read More ]
Upcycled Chandeliers with Twinkle Lights!
With all that’s going on in the nursery with the bold roman shades, mini-fainting couches, and the herringbone patchwork stenciled wall, I knew the chandeliers would need to be white... and not too gaudy. As much DIY as we’ve done in this room, I was willing to shell out some dollars to just purchase something cute and get on with it. But I couldn’t find ANYTHING I liked! My mind is a ...

Succulent Centerpiece using Birch Logs & Twine!
As you know, I’ve been trying to incorporate plants into my décor a little more. There’s just something cheerful about flowers or green plants in a room. My mom has a seriously green thumb. Her yard is gorgeously landscaped with the most unique combinations of plants, bushes, flowers… UGH. So I drug her with me to Lowes to help me pick out a combination of succulents. Because I’m trendy ... [ Read More ]

Mason Jar Mosaic Backsplash – PART 1 {Tinting & Breaking Jars}
I started with a slew of clear mason jars (most of which I picked up at garage sales here and there)! I wasn’t sure exactly how many I would need for this project, so I threw in some spaghetti jars I had in the recycling bin. For this particular project, it doesn’t matter. They will just be a bunch of broken pieces! You’ll want to order some of this stuff. It’s called Vitrea 160 I only ... [ Read More ]
