Make This: Cross Base Succulent Terrariums

by

Sometimes when I’m wandering about on social media, I’ll find something that inspires me and I’ll save it or screenshot it and put it in my ‘inspiration’ folder on my computer. This particular image was one I snagged from West Elm on their Instagram feed. I loved these succulent terrarium globes! *This post contains affiliate links* Aren’t those gorgeous?! Upon further thought, I decided I ... [ Read More ]

Rounded Wooden Doormat Tutorial

by

My tutorial for our Half Circle Wooden Doormat has been very popular since I posted it almost 2 years ago. I love it when people email us their versions of our project… makes my DIY-lovin’ heart happy. I even noticed that one of my blogging friends from Shades of Blue Interiors knocked one out recently. So awesome! Since making my first version, I’ve learned a few things about this project and ... [ Read More ]

Porch Happenings and Front Door Paint

by

I’ve done a lot of cute things to our porchy area to make it more inviting… after all, it is the only door that gets used. We built the planter boxes, affixed that vintage mailbox as a little planter, crafted the Kilim house number art, the… and painted the door orange. This post contains affiliate links. See our Disclosure for all the deets! With all the color that’s going on, I like to slap ... [ Read More ]

Trinket Box Challenge WINNER!

by

Dewd. Could you believe all the amazing submissions to my Trinket Box Makeover Challenge?! Just insane is all. I’m glad I had my panel of judges, because it would have been such a hard choice. There are so many talented makers out there! Would you believe it NEVER ONCE occurred to me to make this thing into a planter? And this coming from the girl who makes everything a planter. In ...

Rotating Craft Caddy

by

I don’t know about your part of the world, but here in Iowa, the weather has been amahhh-zing. It could not be more beautiful! Waking up to the birds chirping and a slight breeze blowing in the window? Let’s just say that magical springtime feeling (paired with a cup of black coffee) is just the thing I need to give me a little boost in the morning. Some days, I’m even inspired to actually do my ... [ Read More ]

‘round these parts

by

Spring has been popping in to say hello here in Iowa. And I’m desperately hoping that it stays! The weather can be pretty fickle here, and snow has been known to fall IN MAY. But let’s not speak of those things. Let’s talk about long walks on the acreage and the springy bouquet of tulips the hubs bought me for no reason. We’ve been brainstorming what we’ll plant in our veggie garden this year, ... [ Read More ]

Looking back at 2015

by

My people. My dear DEAR people. Did you survive the holidays? Do you have even more family Christmas gatherings to attend? I feel that it would be in my best interest (and everyone elses?) to take a 2-day nap, followed by stripping the house of all Christmas décor, and finding a ‘home’ for every single new item acquired over the holidays. THE CLUTTER. It’s taking over my life. And my marriage. ... [ Read More ]

Good morning beautiful friends! Today I have a SUPER FUN contest to share with you. I’m not talking about a giveaway where you enter your name and email and hope for the best. We’re inviting you to roll up your sleeves and get some sawdust in your hair. Remember earlier this summer when I participated in a One Board Challenge with a handful of other Buildy Bloggers?

A Tour of our Homestead!

by

Holy cow you guys! I’m just now coming down off the high of having a video go viral. Sooooo CRAZY! Thanks to everyone that shared it! Today’s post is a little different than my typical... I don’t normally do the ‘Home Tour’ posts, but my HOME tab above needs updating anyway, so why not share it in a post too?! If you’re stopping over from Charles and Hudson... welcome to Sawdust and Embryos! ... [ Read More ]

Looking back at 2014

by

It’s been a whirlwind of a year for us. My one and only New Years resolution from last year’s Round Up Post was to get knocked up… quite possibly the only resolution I’ve actually achieved success at in the history of my entire life! We spent the first part of the year painting backsplashes to save money for our FET, which we did, and paid for in cash last June. After an emotional and ... [ Read More ]
