While perusing the Anthropologie website the other day over coffee I came upon the sweetest little Chrysanthemum Vase and I was instantly inspired to make my own. Do you remember my Faux Milkglass Vase transformation? Well, I had one little dollar store vase leftover who was forgotten during the makeover and it was screaming for a new look! Here … [Read more...]
Are you ready? I am sooooooo excited to share my final office reveal with y'all today! First, lets see what I started with, do you remember when I posted about my sons deciding to share a room and being left with this blank slate? Isn't the transformation awesome? Let's take a look at that picture of the room again and break down what … [Read more...]
Last week my Black Friday shopping plans were very rudely interrupted by a nasty stomach bug that invaded our home. Instead of searching for a Christmas tree and braving the crowds buying gifts I laid on the couch and did a little virtual window shopping. One of the items I ran across was this stunning magnolia wreath from Pottery Barn. It's … [Read more...]
Just a short and sweet post today to show how I took this old broken coat rack destined for the dumpster and made it into a larger than life candle holder inspired this Pillar Holder by my newest Pottery Barn catalog! I don't have the step by step photographed because as you can probably tell in the first pic, I was having some camera … [Read more...]
I recently made a Pirate Sail "headboard" for my middle son and my oldest wanted a headboard of his own. I loved the Camp Bedfrom Pottery Barn Kids but not the $600 price tag. I also only wanted a headboard, not an entire frame. I decided to build my own version after the success of building a headboard for our master bedroom. To start … [Read more...]
Our new house has a fantastic little "tech room" off of the mudroom with two built in desks. Its like a mini office and it is where I spent much of my time writing my ultra-entertaining and informative blog posts. It is a really nice idea but aesthetically there are some issues. The builder put the outlets above the built in desk area so you … [Read more...]
As part of my Master bedroom eDesign from Amber B Interiors it was suggested that I accent our bedroom with subtle hints of gold and brass. One item in particular that was suggested was this little vintage brass bird from Etsy. When I saw that little bird I immediately thought of some salt and pepper shakers I had picked up off the clearance … [Read more...]
In a recent Pottery Barn catalog I saw a wonderful display of frames hanging from boat cleats. As many of you know I have been slowly working a nautical/pirate theme into my middle son's room and I loved the idea of making him a sign and hanging it from a boat cleat!

I needed some fast art to hang in the house but didn't have any photos or prints on hand. I found some frames at Walmart for only $12 that included mats and I knew they would work for the space (and they definitely worked for my budget!) But what to put in them? I didn't have the budget to go buy an expensive print for this project with … [Read more...]
I had previously mentioned that my four year old son Nash is big-time into pirates. Its been over a year now since his obsession started and it is still going strong so I thought I'd give his room a bit of a pirate makeover. Neither of the boys have bed frames currently and I had been looking around the internet at some of the cool boat-beds … [Read more...]
When we moved to the new house last month my husband was very excited that the builder had put tubing in the wall of the living room to hide the cords from the wall mounted TV. Me, not so much. I'm not a big TV person in the first place and I definitely was not stoked to have this behemoth of a television hanging over my mantel. Yes, its … [Read more...]
Lately I have been drooling over white in decor-stark, shiny white. (Like that makes any sense with three boys and a big dog!) I have been noticing white glass and ceramic everywhere as well. These Ceramic vases from West Elm are gorgeous (and on sale right now!) Or how about this Milk Glass lamp from Pottery Barn? I swoon! When we were … [Read more...]
