Are you sick of hearing about my daughter’s room yet? If so, might wanna skip this post. Or WAIT! This idea could lend itself to other ideas, so stay with me – it’s so thrifty, and so fun. Let’s get right down to it, shall we? I needed something to put above her bed. Didn’t […]

I always loved this day as a kid. Cake, presents, attention. What’s not to love?! As I grew up, I kinda stopped caring. Birthdays were a nice day and all. But I didn’t care about getting anything or big parties. The only birthdays I really cared about were those of my kids. But today, I’m […]

So I’ve been working on my girl’s room, as you probably know by now. It’s coming along, and the end product in my head could be my favorite room I’ve ever done. SERIOUSLY. She might come home from school to see me just hangin’ out in here. So far, I’ve painted her room with yellow […]

As you know from my last post, I’ve been working on my daughter’s room lately. Her room hasn’t been done since her nursery days, when the paint was a sweet lavender (Sherwin Williams Wisteria), had all white furniture. It was cute.

I love a good thrifty project, don’t you? Gives me so much satisfaction when I make something cute out of next to nothing. If you do too, then keep on reading, friend! So I’m working on my middle’s room. And my youngest…and my oldest…I know, I have a problem. Can’t seem to get ANY of […]

Basically, you get lots of free stuff, since they know you love breathing new life into pieces they once loved, but have either outgrown or fallen out-of-love with. Like this vanity my […]

Before we go any further, in case inquiring minds were wondering…I painted the door Pavestone (AKA Choice #3). It’s a gorgeous color – loved it so much I painted my interior doors the same shade! It’s not *the* best from the outside though. It’s perfectly fine…it just won’t knock any socks off or anything. But […]

Remember last year when I painted that interior door blue? It was such a fun color – I loved it. BUT…one thing always bugged me about it. That particular hallway has a bajillion-and-one doors. Ok, slight exaggeration. More like four. But it’s a tiny hallway, so it feels like a bajillion-and-one. There’s a bathroom, a […]

Last week was my monthly craft night with the girls and we chose organization as our theme. I mean, who couldn’t use a little more order in their life, amIright? Being that I could no longer see what color my dresser was these days, I made the jewelry organizer I posted the other day… But […]
