Between the toddler bed / fainting couches and the stenciled herringbone accent wall, there’s a lot of ‘pizzazz’ going on in the twins’ big-girl room. Adding the plain wooden dresser grounded the room a lot and brought some necessary warmth (and storage)! Even though the accent wall is fairly busy, we felt that there needed to be something hanging on the wall above the dresser. I love ... [ Read More ]
Time-Out Rug {using vinyl as a stencil}
As an experienced nanny, I’ve always had a variety of opinions on the effectiveness of ‘TIME-OUT’s’ (among other things) as a punishment for tots. But now that I’m a parent myself, all previous opinions are out... the... WINDOW. Can I get an amen? I’m not really wanting to get into a discussion of discipline... but we do use time-outs. Not so much as a consequence, but more of an opportunity ... [ Read More ]

How to repair a broken clock
Winter is... OKAY. I used to love it when I would go snowboarding 3 times a week in the Rocky Mountains. But now I tolerate it and try to stay positive. The point that I’m trying to make here is that WINTER = NO GARAGE SALES. And as a mommy, garages sales are my escape. My special place. My alone time every weekend. And it’s not really even about being alone... ... [ Read More ]
Creating Silhouette Art using a Scroll Saw
I’ve been spending a lot of time with my scroll saw lately. It gives me a lot of time to think about other creative things I could be making with my scroll saw. I ask myself questions like: WHY not cut shapes other than states? and WHY not do a reverse silhouette instead? Groundbreaking, I know. I decided to play around with some ideas, and started with cutting a 1” pine board down to 8x10 ... [ Read More ]
Herringbone Patchwork Accent Wall {REVEAL!}
So sorry to leave you hanging yesterday. We had some last minute finishing touches to take care of before ‘after’ pictures were ready. But I was bound and determined to at least get a start on that blog post! So I’ll start right where we left off! A pattern within a pattern: We’ve used stencils from Royal Design Studio before (and love how durable their stencils are), so we were thrilled ... [ Read More ]
Herringbone Patchwork Accent Wall {Part 1}
There’s been a lot of snot flying around over here... mostly from ME. Tis the season I guess, right? Last night I slathered Vick’s vapor rub on the bottom of my feet, turned on the vaporizer, chugged some Nyquil, and went to bed early. I hope the girls don’t get it as bad as I have it! Lucky for me, I can sit back and relax because we just finished a bunch of orders from our Etsy shop and a big ... [ Read More ]
DIY Tablet/Recipe Book Holder under Cabinets
A few years ago, we installed a clothespin under our kitchen cabinets to hold recipes and keep them out of messy ingredients while cooking... because who likes crusty recipe cards? It served it’s purpose for a good long time! As time has worn on and technology advances, we now need to keep our tablets out of the mess. Amiright? Pulling up a recipe on your iPad and bringing it to the kitchen ... [ Read More ]

I’ve had to step outside the box with this project... jumping into carpentry and power tools (with an AMAZING and knowledgeable {and sexy coach). But upholstery is a whole other ballgame. I referred a ... [ Read More ]
End Table Update {Triangle Pattern Insert}
Ok so here’s the thing. Nick’s been known to be a little annoyed with all the various things I ask him to help me with (understandably so). There are basic homeowner/maintenance–type things that I wouldn't even think about that totally need done in addition to all my measly requests. That’s why I love it when I find a project that I know I can pull off unassisted. This keeps me occupied while ... [ Read More ]
