I have some exciting news! My baby brother is getting married this summer, and my new sister-in-law is the most precious human being. Like, basically, I can't wait to hang out with her for the rest of my life. She called me up the other day and asked me if I would help her do a project to surprise Josh for their dating anniversary. Since I've been in a creative slump and don't have any ... [ Read More ]
My Studio: Patchwork Stencil Wall
You all know I love an accent wall. Over the years I've done this geometric feature wall, this herringbone patchwork wall and this tone-on-tone glossy swirl accent wall. I even wrote a post sharing a big ol' roundup of al my favorite accent walls from around the interwebs! And I had big plans for this studio space... involving another patchwork stenciled wall! ONLY DIFFERENT! I should start ... [ Read More ]
Stenciling on a Painted Linoleum or Vinyl Floor
Sincerest apologies for leaving you hanging with the stenciling yesterday. I just hate for my posts to get too long and boring! And it's fun to divide projects up into different sub-projects so they seem less daunting. Recall for a moment that this is how our 'solarium' started out when we bought the house. Painting the trim and around all those window panes was a huuuuge pain (PUN!), but so ... [ Read More ]
Acid Etching Picture Frame Glass!
Wedding season is upon us! And I love the idea of making something super personalized as a gift for the happy couple. My previous go-to gift was one of these handmade bracket-shaped signs with their last name and year ‘established’. But this year, I decided to try something completely different! Although it’s still something to hang on the wall. Hehe! *This post is sponsored my Armour Etching ... [ Read More ]

Adult Coloring Book inspired STAINED ART!

Stenciled Cinder Block Planter
We're honored to collaborate with EcoScraps on this post, and were compensated for our time. All opinions and project ideas belong to us! I love the idea of using Cinder Blocks as planters, and have seen some really cute ones out there. As you know I’ve been making an effort to ‘freshen up’ our front porch (that we never use, but is very visible from the road), so I thought it would be fun to add ... [ 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 ]
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 ]
Doily-Stenciled Terra Cotta Pots
Hey friends! Mornin’ to ya! Can I just say? OUR DISHWASHER BROKE. And my time has been consumed with washing dishes. So.many.dishes.

MINIMAL supplies. DONE in under an hour. I used a ... [ Read More ]
