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 ]
Custom DIY Rolling Kitchen Island
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 ...

Looking back at 2015
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 ]
Decorative Mosaic Tray
Heyyyyyy dudes! Happy Friday one and all! We survived the week, yeah?! I’m especially excited for this weekend, because we have nothing planned. Zilch. Those are my favorite of weekends, because I feel like I get to truly unwind and spend time with my family. I used to be such a people person... WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME?! Anywho! I have another fun-slash-simple project today... Contain your ... [ Read More ]
Vertical Succulent Planter Tutorial
I’ve been noticing a pattern in my creative projects... I’m either working on big projects like focusing on a room transformation (like the kitchen or ‘Laundry Suite’), or I’m going through phases where I kick back and work on lots of smallish projects here and there. Whenever I get comments like ‘that’s awesome, but I could never do that’ makes me feel so defeated. So throwing in some simple ... [ Read More ]
Extending Kitchen Cabinets up to the Ceiling
Recall for a moment what our kitchen looked like just a couple weeks ago. We loved that dark teal with the glossy swirls for a handful of years, but it was just time for a change. I laid out some more details about why we painted the walls white in this post, and it really brightened up the room sooooo much. To be honest, when I painted the walls white, I wasn’t sure what ...

A Tour of our Homestead!
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
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 ]

I feel that it’s time for a little life-update of sorts. Lots of little things going on ‘round these parts, but nothing substantial enough to deserve a dedicated post. I’ve had these fabric swatches (from Online Fabric Store) on the trim in the dining room for 3 WEEKS, and cannot make a decision on curtains. The hardest part for me is making the dining room feel cohesive with the living room and ... [ Read More ]
