It seems farmhouse style is hanging around for quite a while and I love it. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea and certainly not everyone lives in a rustic farmhouse. However, I believe you can decorate your own home for you. Even if you live in a builder grade house like me, it’s …
Home and DIY
Spring is on my mind! I don’t completely change out all my decorations for every season for many reasons. But I do like to freshen it up a bit around the house when it starts to get warmer out. And this year I’m going with simple spring decorations.
Do you ever want to attempt a DIY project, but you’re not sure how it’ll stand the test of time? That was my dilemma when I wanted to paint our kitchen tile backsplash. One of my least favorite parts of the kitchen was the tile backsplash. I researched it and a few years ago, I …
DIY Spring art is an affordable way to dress up your walls this year. You can make this easy project using scrap wood and any kind of greenery you like.
It’s been a while since I painted furniture just to paint. It’s how I got into this whole DIY business and I forgot how much I enjoy just painting. Paint is one of the most affordable tools in your crafting stash. It can work wonders on old outdated pieces, and it’s not hard to learn. …
For our $100 Playroom Makeover, I had to get crafty and do some serious DIY projects so I could stay within my budget. In our playroom we had a very functional table but it was just too small. I need a desk that’s at least 6 feet long so it can fit two kids comfortably …

Welcome to week 3 of the $100 Room Challenge! If you’re just joining in, I’m participating in a challenge organized by Erin from Lemons, Lavender and Laundry. It boils down to 4 weeks (or 5 in this case since January has 5 weeks this year) and $100 to makeover a room or space in your …
If you’re just joining in, I’m tackling our playroom for the $100 Room Challenge hosted by the fabulous Erin from Lemons, Lavender, & Laundry. The playroom in our house is just off the kitchen and pretty much right as you come in from the garage. It’s served us well over the last several years for …
5 weeks and $100 for a playroom makeover! When you see the before pics, you’ll see why this room needed this challenge so badly! This room gets used all the time by my kids and it’s in desperate need of an overhaul. I’ll show you all the terrible before pics and my plans for how …
How is it almost 2018?? I know that sounds idiotic to say. Everyone says that this time of year, but I seriously can’t believe it. This year has been a whirlwind. I had some pretty amazing changes in my life this year and starting this blog is by far my favorite. It’s something I wish …
I mentioned to my kids that I was considering getting new stockings this year and let’s just say you would think I suggested we change the date of Christmas! Who knew it was such a big deal? If we had gorgeous handmade stockings that were super sentimental, I might understand, but nope. Target specials from …
One thing I like to do with the kiddos each year is make some type of Christmas craft. They love it and I love that they’re being creative. Plus we get something new and handmade to add to our tree! However, I also don’t want to spend a fortune or end up making the whole …

A special thanks to Cheyenne at Sense & Serendipity for organizing! I can’t wait for you to see the many different styles and creative …
The theme for my dining room this Christmas is neutral. My family gets the run of the living room with traditional colors and homemade ornaments. And I love those. I really, really do. Every ornament that goes on our big tree is sentimental. The kids have so much fun helping decorate and they remember so …
