Portable Kids Coloring Activity Tablet

by

Having 3 littles, I’m always trying to think of ways to keep them busy and keep their minds working. I know it’s not my job to entertain them (and they do play independently really well, especially since I implemented this), but there are times where when we’re not at home and I need them to behave themselves and have an activity … like the waiting room at the Dr’s office, or at church, or in the ...

His & Hers Key Rack {Using a Scroll Saw!}

by

A few months back, I was brainstorming ideas for what to make as a gift for my brother and sister-in-law (the ones who just had baby Rollie and built this amazing Baseball Bat Crib). We had drawn their name for Christmas, and I was having a creative block! You know, like writer’s block… only for creatives? Well, Caleb and Laura are pretty sentimental (runs in the family I guess?), so I used ... [ Read More ]

Vertical Kitchen Organization

by

A couple weeks ago when I posted the reveal of our Rolling Kitchen Island / Microwave Cart, several of you inquired about the hanging wooden canisters on the wall in the photo. I got the idea to try this after seeing something similar on A Beautiful Mess, and I was going back and forth about whether to do a tutorial or not since theirs is wholly awesome by itself. But since I did some ... [ Read More ]

Custom DIY Rolling Kitchen Island

by

So here’s the thing about DIY… if it’s a little crafty project with minimal supplies on the line, I’m more likely to just jump in all willy-nilly and see what happens. But when we’re talking about a larger-scale building project that will involve many hours of time and closer to a handful of twenties rather than a handful of ones ($$)… well let’s just say I’m going to put more thought into making ...

Unicorn Spit Project Ideas and Inspiration

by

As I look back over the past few years as a homeowner and blogger, I’ve noticed that each year it seems like my creative focus as been a different subject. This past year, it seems like it’s been my ‘Shading with Stain’ technique (using oil based stains and Unicorn Spit). The year before that it was Painting Backsplashes. The year before that it was the twins’ new room. And the year before that, ... [ 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 ]

Winter Wonderland Christmas Vignette

by

Christmas is pretty much the only holiday I decorate for, and I love to go all out. But the past few years...once we're finished decorating the tree with twin toddlers, I just don’t have it in me to do much more throughout the house. A Christmas tragedy. Things have calmed down now that the girls are 4 (until Cypress starts walking ANY DAY). So the other day the girls and I were making ... [ Read More ]

12 Unique Gift Ideas by Talented Artisans

Ahem… tap tap … IS THIS THING ON? Oh yeah! I have a blog that I should tend to! I have a really good excuse for being MIA, but that’s another story for another day. I’m guessing you’ve been spending time with family, chowing down on turkey and cranberry sauce, and watching football… so you probably didn’t even notice my absence. In which case: CARRY ON. I meant to get this post up in time for ... [ Read More ]
