Have you been seeing all those adorable string art projects floating around blogland and Pinterest lately? I’ve wanted to try one for a while now, and thought it’d make a potential fun Craft Night idea, so I decided to give it a go. I took zippy photos before and during, because I kinda felt like it […]
The Musical Trunk gets the Perfect new Home in the basement
May 17, 2016 by 1 Comment
I think one of my very favorite things is moving furniture around my house and giving it new life somewhere else. It’s so much fun! You might remember during my bedroom makeover post, how I mentioned that the trunk at the foot of our bed just wasn’t vibing with me? This trunk – the one […]
We Have Chairs!

The search is OVER, friends! You might have seen this photo recently either on my Instagram or Facebook page, of our sad little chairless family room… Yes, our chevron chairs went to live with our nephews a few weeks back. I know, I know, a lot of you liked them. But we needed more function […]

May 6, 2016 by 3 Comments
I’m pretty pumped about this one, folks. My husband was about to toss some old jeans last week. They were covered in holes…and not the cute kind that is popular now, you know, the ripped ones we PAY good money for (guilty – I am actually wearing a pair and have several more in my […]

It’s that time of year again! My favorite: Yard Sale Season! You never know what you’ll find when you pull up to a yard sale, but I wanted to share with you what I always seem to grab when I see them sitting there. There are certain things that that I know I can and […]

Life sure is funny, isn’t it? Here I was, a stay-at-home-mom having fun blogging about decorating my house during my kids’ naptime. And now I’m sitting here at my desk, looking at a stack of business cards and scheduling in clients for consultations and Craft Nights. BUSINESS CARDS. CLIENTS. CALENDARS. WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?!!! Yes, […]

From Boring Bi-folds to Plank French Doors: The Closet Makeover
April 18, 2016 by 14 Comments
I almost titled this The Big, Scary, Questionable-Until-the-Very-End Closet Makeover…because that’s exactly what this was. I had this wacky idea, ran it by my husband…got the raised eyebrows. Looked it up online…found nothing. Plank closet doors… Shiplap closet doors… Securing plywood to closet doors… Closet Doors look like Plank Wall… Make closet doors look like […]

April 8, 2016 by 3 Comments
Sharing another glimpse into the ‘so-close-yet-so-far-away’ master bedroom today. We were going full steam, then life seemed to get in the way. Only two more things to do, but they’re kinda big projects. I’m hoping I’ll be writing my big reveal post sometime in the next couple weeks, but we shall see… In the meantime, […]
Today Will Become a Memory
April 5, 2016 by 9 Comments
Oh those Facebook memories. Those “On This Day” memories that pop up in my feed. Do they get you, too? I mean, I love them, but man. They tug at the ol’ heartstrings. I look at those tiny babies from 3, 4, 5 years ago. Those sweet memories. And I usually tear up bawl like […]
Hi there! I’m Liz, a former teacher-turned-stay-at-home mom to three kids, with a passion to create a warm and inviting home on a budget. This blog all started when I’d put the babies down for a nap, and squeeze in a project during those precious couple of hours! My hope is that you visit this page and feel inspired to do a little “naptime decorating” of your own. Thank you so much for stopping by!
