DIY decorating and crafts
I really love ruffles. And as someone that has only been sewing for a couple years, pre-ruffled fabric is just amazing. It saves so much time and I love the colors and textures of the material. Plus, it comes in so many different ruffle widths. There are endless possibilities when it comes to projects that be dreamed up using ruffled fabric. No-Sew Ruffled Lamp Shade A really easy project … [Read more...]
I love my new Aqua and White Kitchen. I had white cabinets at my last house and loved them. For some reason I thought since this house was a little more rustic that a white kitchen wouldn't work. But I am so happy with the way this remodel turned out. {NOTE -- lots of pictures to come} {The Keep Calm sign is from Barn Owl Primitives} Here's what the kitchen looked like when we bought the … [Read more...]
The kitchen remodel is almost done -- wooo!! I just have one more project that I am going to finish up this week. Here are my DIY Pendant Lights. I found some lights that I really wanted from a store online, but they were $140 each, and four would = $560, not including the converter kits to change my lights from recessed to pendant. So I had to come up with something different. I ended up … [Read more...]
I spent this summer changing my space from a dark, slightly Tuscan vibe to more of a cottage-y, light-filled look. One of the things I really wanted to do was slipcover my big sectional in my family room. Update - winner has been chosen. It's Melissa Swenson. I wanted to go with white, but since I have four active children, I thought maybe a slightly darker color would hold up better. I … [Read more...]
My family Room/Kitchen Redo is almost done and I'm so excited!! One of the last projects I had to do was find a rug that went in the new space. My new kitchen and family room is a really pretty shade of grey {Sharkey Grey by Martha Stewart}. So I decided to make a slightly nautical striped rug to go with my turquoise couch. I used the same paint color as the walls to paint the … [Read more...]
I had the opportunity to try out Krylon's new Glitter Blast Spray Paint last week. I was SO excited -- a product that combines two of my favorite things: spray paint AND glitter. Wow! But I secretly had my doubts about how this product could work. Wouldn't the glitter clog up the nozzle? Plus, all the glitter paint I have tried in the past ended up getting dulled down when put in a liquid … [Read more...]

I have been on a bit of a stenciling kick this summer... I stenciled a Chevron rug, a Spray Painted Circle Rug, and then I tackled my kitchen window with some Faux Roman Shades and some painted pillows for my kitchen banquette. And yesterday I stenciled this rug for my family room -- only with thicker stripes!! It turned out SOOO good!! I'll be sharing that soon. … [Read more...]
{{Happy Halloween}} lol - I know it's a little early but I just can't help myself! I think I've ordered every chevron color that is in existence. Yes, I may have a problem. But I thought -- how cute would it be to make a Halloween wreath out of THREE of my favorite things -- CHEVRON, BAKERS TWINE and GLITTER??? So that's what I did. And let me tell you -- this is a fast and … [Read more...]
Have I ever mentioned that I have a slight obsession with the Disney Show "Good Luck Charlie"? I was sick last Spring and spent about 5 hours straight watching it in some sort of "Good Luck Charlie" marathon - lol! I adore the use of color in the "Good Luck Charlie" house!! Like their turquoise couch! So fun. I developed a bit of a crush on the rug from that set. So I tracked it … [Read more...]
