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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I've been shopping up a storm lately. Ok, that's not really something new. I guess the difference is, I'm being very particular about the things I buy for the house. Only making a purchase for an item I've really thought about, searched it out and have a specific spot for it. In the past, I would just [...]
Landon is officially moved into the nursery! He has slept in his own room the last 3 nights. I'd like to say it's going well but...not so much. His first night was amazing, slept 8pm to almost 7am, only waking up twice for his pacifier. The last 2 nights and now today, however, have been [...]
I am so excited to FINALLY share this project with you all! I have been working on it for what feels like forever. Wait...you mean...having a baby will drastically change the amount of time in the day you have to accomplish things?!?! Case in point, I've been trying to write this blog post for 3 [...]
My mom is really going to LOVE this post 🙂 Pretty sure her dream is to turn an old barn into a home. Or at least into an event venue that she can run a business out of. Well mama, here is your inspiration! This is a 161 year old grain mill that was bought [...]
Someone contacted me asking about some of the furniture details in Landon's nursery and I realized that I never shared the finished crib! No time like the present... I remember sharing a while back that I was having trouble finding a crib that I liked. I wanted white distressed wood. Everything I was finding in [...]
Last week when I was sick, I started re-watching the Gossip Girl series on DVD. It helped pass the 4 days I spent in bed. The problem...now I can't stop watching episodes...back-to-back-to-back. It is making me completely unproductive. All I've gotten accomplish today is eaten 2 meals, watched 4 episodes and styled the new little bar area [...]
I am going to have SO much fun with DIY projects over the next couple weeks. One of my girlfriends is getting married in August and is having a gorgeous DIY, shabby chic, backyard wedding complete with giant size lawn games and I get to make them!! This is going to be a multiple post [...]
