After I wrote yesterday’s post, I just hung my head in shame. How did my life become so out of control that I felt the need to spew my negativity all over the interwebs? Maybe I’m a little toooooo transparent. It was a selfish move... but you guys were so sweet and encouraging. THANK YOU. Since I have a quiet moment (and because writing is therapeutic for me), I’m going to show you a little ... [ Read More ]
Pinwheel Collage {using scrapbook paper}
In addition to the dollhouse progress, we’ve been working on little finishing touches for the girls room to make it feel more personal and... finished. Ever since we added the papason canopy ‘reading nook’, I knew I wanted some sort of book storage nearby. I pinned this awhile back as an idea for cute book storage, but then I fell upon this black ‘x-shelf’ at a miraculous winter garage ... [ Read More ]
Operation Laundry Room {Flooring / Toilet}
Guess what?! WE ADOPTED A COUPLE FISH! It’s all very exciting for sure. The girls are enamored... and we’re enamored with the amount of time they spend quietly watching them swim around. Free babysitters! Their names are Boomerang and Bandit. But that’s neither here nor there. I’m here today to discuss how our ‘Operation Laundry Room’ progress goes in spurts (as our time and finances ... [ Read More ]
Toddler Artwork Painting {using vinyl stencil}
We’ve been starting to think about ‘finishing touches’ to compliment all the big projects that we’ve completed in the girls’ toddler room. This has been SUCH a fun room to put together for our precious little tots! I’m planning to put a little bookshelf next to the Canopy Reading Nook, and have a small gallery of pictures and sentimental things above that. Among some other pictures and ... [ Read More ]
Radiant Orchid End Table With Stained Flower
Hey buddy! Good morning! Soooo OK. This month, the good people of Lowe’s challenged us (and all the other Lowes Creators) to make something awesome using the Pantone Color of the year... which happens to be Radiant Orchid. Let me begin by saying I LOVE ORCHIDS. But come now. Purple? Well imagine my surprise when I found out that ‘Radiant Orchid’ actually translates to this very enthusiastic ... [ 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 ...

How to make DIY Roman Shades using Mini-Blinds
Back to the big-girl room transformation! It’s shaping up to be my fave room in the house for sure. Just to bring you up to speed, we’ve built and upholstered the mini-fainting couch / toddler beds, stenciled and trimmed-out the herringbone patchwork accent wall, acquired the perfect dresser, and fashioned a vintage-esque starburst mirror. Phew! That run-on sentence sounds far more exhausting ... [ Read More ]
‘Drip Tray’ for Muddy or Wet Shoes
Y’all. We have an epic problem. And I don’t use the word epic flippantly and without consequence like most of the universe. Do you see that? Melty, muddy snow. *hold me* We don’t have the good fortune of having a mudroom. Apparently 114 years ago, architects weren’t concerning themselves with mudrooms. (or linen closets, coat closets, or pantry’s... just sayin’) This is where we ... [ Read More ]
