A few nights ago, I had a dream. At first, I thought it was a nightmare, but now I don’t think I’d necessarily call it that. I remember every detail of this dream, which is rare for me. A lot of times I think I do, and then I tell my husband, “I had THE […]

DIY Book Page Sunburst-Starburst-Wreath?? Or We Can Just Call It My Freebie Art Challenge

Ok, let me explain that title. One day last week, after making my DIY Happy Fall Easy-Peasy Banner for the Decorative Window, I moved this cute little wreath to that spot on the wall to the left of it… Ok, you can only see half of it, but you get the point. That little wreath was […]

Oh you GUYS. This basement might just be the most dramatic makeover to date. Well, ok, I guess the Master Bathroom probably takes the cake on that one, but this is a close second! It’s getting so close to being done, but I couldn’t wait any longer to show you patient, patient people at least […]
A Simple Touch of Fall in the Dining Room
September 15, 2015 by 3 Comments
As you know from my last post, I’ve started Fall-ifying the house. I get SO sad every year when Summer ends, then the second I open up these bins, my love for Fall comes back to me. I start adding all the orangey touches and pumpkins around the house, and I remember how much I adore […]

You might remember that amazeballs old window my friend just GAVE me earlier in the year. I couldn’t believe my luck when she told me she had a window and would I want it? Ummmm…YES PLEASE!

Giving the Kitchen Island a Makeover…and A Good Decorating Lesson
September 4, 2015 by 23 Comments
Once upon a time, not too long ago, I gave my kitchen a makeover. It was red and aqua and bright and fun. As you know, I change my decorating style just about as often as I change my clothes (ok, *slight* exaggeration), so naturally, I’m due for changing things up a little. Or a lot, depending […]
We Need To Talk…
September 2, 2015 by 22 Comments
So I ran into a friend last week. We were catching up, and she says, “Saw on Facebook that you posted a blog yesterday – but to be honest, I haven’t read it yet. I’m not ready to see another perfectly gorgeous project and feel terrible about my house!” She was laughing, but it got me […]

Ooooh friends, it is looking SO much happier in my basement these days! I love that moment when you can start seeing it all coming together – it’s so exciting! If you remember back in the early Summer, I announced why we were giving our basement a fresh makeover. Basically, the kiddie toy area wasn’t […]
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!
