I bought these little hanging buckets from Michaels last year. I had this vision of them hanging on a ladder...not sure why...probably saw it on Pinterest 🙂 where 99% of my ridiculous ideas come from. I've wanted to update my blanket ladder, which was big and bulky, to something a little less so. [...]
I love the look of vintage books used in home décor and wanted to play around with the look as well. When I couldn't find what I wanted, I made my own!
My first try at reupholstering and it's easier than you think!
When I first started getting into home décor I would buy real plants and new flowers every week. While I love the smell of some fresh flowers in my home, I realized I was spending A LOT of money on flowers every week. On top of that, I don't have a green thumb (we've talked [...]
Here comes another one of those DIY's that is a result of me not being able to find exactly what I want in a store 🙂 Turned candle holders are hard to find, and tall turned candle holders, even harder. These little cuties are SO easy to make, I think I had them put together [...]
We attempted to take Landon for photos with the Easter Bunny today. It wasn't very successful. Landon was terrified! Like, whites of his eyes, fists clenched around his dad's arms, high pitched scream, terrified. He wanted absolutely nothing to do with that bunny 🙂 I can't blame him though, those Easter bunny costumes are scary!! [...]
What is it about having kids that makes you want to celebrate ALL the holidays? Am I alone in this? I have never ever been a fan of Halloween or Valentine's Day, but I was ALL about a Halloween costume for the little guy a few months back and today I found myself wondering if [...]
I didn't actually realize how long this project had been in the works until I sat down to write about it. For those who follow me on Instagram, you might remember the stories I posted about this hutch. I found it last year in May and HAD to have it. The problem, it is HUGE, [...]
I picked up these faux fern sprays from Michaels in the fall and haven't used them until now. They are pretty large and bushy and I was struggling to find a bucket, basket or pot that they looked natural in, nothing was really working until I came across this hanging olive bucket at The Urban [...]
Merry Christmas weekend friends!!! Who is still scrambling last minute to get things done? Me, always. I wanted to post a quick tutorial on my Christmas cookies because I'm pretty impressed with how they turned out, especially for a first timer on the frosting piping bag! Real talk...I DID NOT make these from scratch. I [...]
Let's be clear...I am by NO MEANS a johnny-on-the-spot, efficiently organized, if-you're-on-time-you're-late person...AT ALL! I mean, Christmas is 7 days away and I did the bulk of my gift shopping online last night. I'm a last minute, rushing around like a chicken with my head cut off, study 1 hour before a test kind of [...]
Anyone else feel like Christmas is just sneaking up on us? How is December already halfway over?!?! I had all my decorations out the weekend of Thanksgiving, and somehow, I'm still not done decorating everything! Could it be because I keep redecorating areas I've already decorated? Hmm... I started thinking about what I wanted to [...]
So many cute holiday signs out there this year. I saw so many different versions, I couldn't decide which one to buy. Finally, I saw one that I liked, it was on the Instagram account of a local boutique that I follow. The problem, the actual boutique is not very close to where I live [...]
So, this was not a project or post I had planned on, it pretty much happened on accident while I was decorating the mantle today. I had a different plan as to what I was hanging above the mantle and hated how it turned out so I started over and this is what I came [...]
Ok...let's get something out of the way. November kicked my butt. Big time. I took this break from blogging to get my stuff together, get organized, be more consistent. And, October was great! I posted consistently, I was happy with what I was posting. Then, November happened. Halloween (ok, that's October, but still) and DIY [...]
I thought I would jump on here while Landon is napping to share what has been keeping me so busy this last week. Our little guy turned 1, so naturally, I had to throw a party. Granted, this was more of a party for the grown ups than for the kids as there were only [...]
We officially have a walking baby!! Landon has been taking a few wobbly steps each day but last night he walked all the way across the living room! It was cute, exciting and terrifying all at the same time 🙂 With each new milestone comes a whole new stage of unexpectedness (I'm going to pretend [...]
Why is it that when the time comes around for family photos (or any type of photos for that matter) I immediately feel like I have no style sense, whatsoever? Anyone else? Ah, well...that's what style bloggers and Pinterest are for, right? I posted a few days ago about the paint transformation on this little [...]
I think I officially have a toddler. I mean, when I spend the entire day either chasing the little munchkin or saying "No, Landon...no, no, no....Landon, that's not to play with" that equals toddler, right?!?! When he first learned what the word "no" meant, he would usually stop whatever behavior I was saying no to. [...]
Hi everyone!!! Wow, it feels like I've been gone for SO LONG! I mean, 2 months isn't forever but still, I missed posting for you and I'm glad to be back at it. Thank you for hanging in there while I took a little break. I was able to accomplish quite a few things around [...]
