This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Flood® Wood Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. So a couple of weeks ago I hauled the boys to Home Depot determined to get the supplies I needed to build my own cedar raised garden bed. I had an hour before meeting some friends for a much needed girl's night so I was a woman on … [Read more...]
{sigh} The backyard. On the one hand it is one of my favorite places now that we finished our Patio Makeover (for now!) But on the other hand it's been a huge source of stress and a ginormous work in progress (like I described in my last backyard transformation post!) The pool was put in late last summer, getting finished up in late August. … [Read more...]
When I was contacted recently by Wayfair and Hometalk asking if I was interested in participating in a DIY challenge I was so excited. You see, I have a bit of a stubborn personality and I love a good challenge to get creative! The rules were simple, Wayfair gave bloggers three different items to choose from: a bookcase, lampshade, or mirror and … [Read more...]
Let's just roll back in time a few days to Saturday...after two weeks of being stuck in the house with three sick little boys (and being sick myself) I was, oh let's say, a little cranky. So my husband did what he knew would cheer me up-took me to the Habitat ReStore for a little chair hunting. We had spent Friday building a new outdoor dining … [Read more...]
This post brought to you by Moen, Incorporated. All opinions are 100% mine. A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to receive a new Moen Kiran faucet with one stipulation-that I install it myself! Because our home is less than a year old I didn't need a faucet for our kitchen but as soon as I heard "new faucet" I immediately knew that my … [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...]
Despite generally feeling like a walking NyQuil ad lately I made a quick trip to South Carolina this weekend to co-host my step-sister's bridal shower. The shower was at a state park meeting hall on the Edisto River and we decided on a rustic theme to go along with the setting. I was in charge of favors and decor. I chose a red, white, … [Read more...]
Way back in 2011 when this blog was brand new and just my little outlet while my husband was deployed I posted about making bird feeders with my boys. We recently did this again last week and I thought it was worth posting properly so that others could do this fun craft too! What You Need: Birdseed (obviously!) 2 Packets of Unflavored … [Read more...]
Okay, after the creepy Easter Egg chick craft fail I shared earlier this week I needed to redeem myself by crafting something cute to decorate for Easter. I created these adorable little felt bunnies in less than fifteen minutes and I think they'd be so cute in a tablescape or place setting or even an Easter mantle! What you'll need: White … [Read more...]
Next month will mark one year since we moved into our new construction home. When we were in the building process and went to the flooring supplier to pick our finishes I distinctly remember them telling us that they would not be sealing our grout. I mentally marked it on my to-do list and we can all guess how that turned out....I just kept pushing … [Read more...]
It's getting to be that time of year-you know what time I'm talking about-wedding season! This year my step-sister is getting married so I get to have my own little part of the hysteria. You see, my husband and I were married during his two weeks of leave from a year-long deployment to Afghanistan. The dates of his leave kept changing and we … [Read more...]
