DIY decorating and crafts
A couple weeks ago I had the FUN opportunity to travel to New York City - one of my favorite places. I lived in upstate NY and CT in my teenage years, so NYC has always held a special place in my heart. Ever since I can remember I anticipate Pantone's "Color of the Year". So when I was asked to attend an event put on my Lowes, Valspar AND Pantone - I was super thrilled and excited. The … [Read more...]
I have been a bit obsessed with ANYTHING nautical lately. It's so bright and cheerful-looking. I made a Navy and Yellow Wreath. A Nautical Fourth of July Mantel. And recreated a dark basement bedroom into a Bright Nautical Teen Bedroom. I thought it would be fun to make some decorative buoys - which seem SO nautical. It also turns out - the buoys are easier to make than you'd … [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...]

It's just part of an even bigger remodeling project that I'll tell you more about soon, I promise! Remodeling takes so much longer than you think it will. I was hoping to have the cabinets in and have a subway tile tutorial for this month, but we ran into some plumbing and electrical … [Read more...]
One of my favorite Home DIY projects to make over the past year has been painting rugs. It's so fun to come up with a pattern or design and then create it. I love taking a pattern from a pillow or even trying to recreate the same pattern from a very expensive rug. This week I took a pillow from my daughter's Nautical Teen Room and decided to use that Greek Key pattern on a painted rug. It … [Read more...]

A couple of weeks ago I introduced you to a really cool new site -- Glidden's My Colortopia. I loved taking the quiz that told me paint colors that I would like based on my personality. Such a great idea!! I'm working on redoing my office right now. With my Kitchen and Family Room Remodel, the apple green doesn't really fit in with the new grey/turquoise/yellow color scheme. Plus, I am … [Read more...]
