DIY decorating and crafts
I've been working hard trying to get my yard prettier. Last week I painted my brown and tan resin pots -- yellow. And I love the change that made in our yard. With all of the new pots and cushion covers, it really made my old, faded porch swing stick out. So I thought I would try recovering it. You know those projects that SEEM like they will be really easy to do?? This was one of … [Read more...]
There's so much to talk about in my 1905 cottage remodel that I barely know where to begin! As you've guessed from the parts of the story I've told, we started with a cared-for but out-of-date cottage and stripped it to its brick frame. (And in some cases, farther!) When we did, we discovered the ORIGINAL hardwood floors (that I will talk about in another post). I'll tell you all about how … [Read more...]
Thanks for all of your encouraging comments on the 1905 cottage. They really meant so much to me. This is a project that has really captured my heart. This month we have been working on the front of the cottage. And it also worked out that Lowes asked us to work on a front yard mini makeover for April-- perfect!! Here's what we created with the front of the cottage: When the cottage … [Read more...]
Hey, hey, TT&J readers! I'm so excited to be back sharing another fun DIY project with you! I'm Jessica from Mom 4 Real, and I LOVE repurposing old things into fun and somewhat unconventional new things.

When I was designing my new office, I knew I wanted to make a wooden bead chandelier as the focal point. I had a chandelier in mind -- the Arterior Maurice Chandelier -- that was between $1,600 - $2,000 to buy. I ended up making my own beaded chandelier for about $250 and it's bigger too -- 32 inches in diameter by 3.5 feet in height. Here's how I did it: … [Read more...]
Happy Friday!! I want to make your Friday even a little happier with a $200 giveaway to an awesome company - Cut It Out Frames. This is the same company that makes the frames I used in my Family Gallery Wall. I love the shape of their frames. They come unfinished so you can paint them any color that you want. Plus, they are super affordable. When Cut It Out Frames contacted me to … [Read more...]
I love to stencil pretty much anything -- from fabric, to walls, furniture and even paper. I think one of my first stenciling projects was my oldest daughter's nursery 17 years ago (I can't believe it's been so long)! The thing I love about stenciling is it allows you to create something unique and it really opens up your creativity -- the possibilities are infinite. I've learned a lot about … [Read more...]
Over at East Coast Creative, we love a good Upcycle! We totally thrive on taking something junky, that we already owned, and giving it a new (and much cooler) life! I just finished a bathroom mini-makeover using all old things I already had on hand. Today, I'm going to share one of the projects from the room, but you can check out the full reveal here. One of my favorite parts of the … [Read more...]
Oh my -- wasn't that blogger contest SO funny yesterday??? I have been laughing about those pictures all day. You don't think you are that awkward when you are going through those growing-up years, but when you look back on it -- they are hilarious!! I had a super awkward adolescence. I was mistaken for a boy when I was 12 and it has traumatized me ever since :) There were so many people … [Read more...]
