Decor-Recipes-Crafts
I was not an interior design student in college, nor did I ever know much about design in general until I started blogging about home decor. I knew what I liked, and what I didn't and that was about as far as it went. Recently I found myself drawn over and over to similarly styled spaces and one day my good blogging friend Kelly from View Along … [Read more...]
When I was a little girl I loved going to my great-grandfather's farm on the weekends. He lived in a gorgeous two story farmhouse in southern Virginia...one of those picturesque homes with the wrap-around porches. There was a chicken coop in the yard, geese wondering around, corn and cotton fields as far as the eye could see. In the barn out … [Read more...]
We all know what Sunday is-that's right, Mother's Day! That one day a year where we hard-working Moms get a little extra pampering! How many of you are like me and never get a moment alone? Not even in the bathroom? Little hands reaching under the door, screaming accusations of favorite-dinosaur-stealing piercing the peaceful silence of my … [Read more...]
Are you tired of outdoor projects yet? I hope not because I feel like I'm on a roll! I've been stuck inside all winter and now I'm ready to get outside and I want a pretty place to enjoy all this nice weather! Waaaaaaay back when this was a tiny little newborn baby blog I posted about my patio furniture I bought at World Market. I searched … [Read more...]
If you are a regular reader of my blog you know I love a good upcycle. From my Upcycled Chair to Side Table to the Faux Milk Glass Vases, the Stained Wood Map with Wood Scraps to the Reclaimed Wood iPad Stand, taking something destined for the trash and creating something beautiful and useful with it is my passion. In honor of Earth Day coming … [Read more...]
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...]
This post brought to you by iBulb. All opinions are 100% mine. Did you notice all the flowers in my new office I revealed last week? I'm so anxious for spring that I went out and bought a few potted tulips to brighten up my space. I love buying potted bulbs instead of cut flowers in the spring, they give me the same color but last longer and … [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...]
So do you remember back a few weeks ago when I shared my "vision" for my office/craft room space? Well I have some posts to share this week about how I've been making my vision happen..and there's a lot of DIY in the mix!! First on the agenda was the curtains. My inspiration was this West Elm Striped Shower Curtain. While I probably … [Read more...]
So I was challenged by Earth911.com to create a desktop organizer from upcycled or recycled items and of course I went straight to the pile of wood scraps I hoard save when making my wood stained maps. I easily found a few piecesin my pile o' wood that would work and got busy upcycling! Using a hand saw I created an angled groove in my base … [Read more...]
Oh my, is it cold where you are? This Southern girl does not know how to handle the freezing temps we've been getting this week! We're due for an ice storm tonight as well-you might get lots of posts next week because I'm not leaving my house if the weather gets crazy! I've been hard at work decorating my office/craft room-it's not reveal-ready … [Read more...]
Recently my two older boys (who are 4 and 6) decided they wanted to share a room. With my four year old's old room empty, I have convinced my husband that it should be my craft room/office. (He was not hard to convince-he hates my "stuff" being all over the house all the time!) Here is the room now: Right now I don't feel like painting … [Read more...]
