A DIY board and batten accent wall is an affordable DIY project that won’t require much money or skills. It can add personality to an otherwise boring wall. There are so many variations on a project like this from how high you make it, how far spaced, paint color, etc. Check our DIY board and …
I’ve got planters and flowers and all the pretty blooming things on the brain lately. However, we are currently living amidst a sea of yellow pollen outside and there’s still a chance of a freeze warning or two. So the outdoor stuff will have to wait for a bit. But I have a few cheap …

Sometimes you buy old furniture or antiques because you just like them or they’re cheaper than buying new ones. Or sometimes you’re handed down a piece that has sentimental value and you can’t bear to part with it. But what if you don’t love it as is? That was the case with this beauty. Check …
The twinkly lights and the reindeer are all put away and now it’s just cold. And somewhat drab in the house if I’m being honest. Even my 8-year-old commented that our house “looks so boring” now. And I agree. It’s that let down feeling you get after a big event or a holiday that just …
If you’re in need of keeping babies (or a dog in our case) from going up or down stairs, this is the project for you! We’ve got a 13-year-old dog that can still go up the stairs but can’t get down. And he weighs about 80 pounds so it’s not very easy to carry him …

I finally used up all of my old paper I’ve been hoarding for years, so this year I added a few new Christmas gift wrapping ideas to the mix! I’m one of those that buys paper and bows on clearance and then use them the next year. There’s usually no “theme” and it’s a hodgepodge …

It’s about that time to bust out the paper, ribbons, scissors, and tape and get busy wrapping all these amazing gifts. And I’ll admit. I’m traditionally a cheapo when it comes to wrapping. I buy the clearance paper after Christmas is over and use it until it’s gone. I swore I wouldn’t buy any new …
Are you a “decorate before Thanksgiving” person or a strict “not until we eat the turkey” person? I saw a story recently that people who decorate early for Christmas are happier. True? Who knows, but for those that get a jump-start on their decorating, it sure seems like it. And if it makes you happy, …
I did something new and built my first piece of furniture from start to finish! I’ve been promising my sis a new table for several months now and finally made it happen. Even if you don’t have a clue (which I didn’t), you can do this too! Check out this easy DIY Farmhouse Table and …
