I was over my sister’s place a few months back, helping her with some decorating. She really wants to change things up and embrace a total 1940s glam look. Helping her has been a fun challenge, because we couldn’t be more different when it comes to our tastes in our home decor, so it’s like stepping […]
When You Decorate for Valentine’s Day…on Valentine’s Day.
February 14, 2017 by 4 Comments
Happy Valentine’s Day, all! So…I have a confession to make. I wasn’t even really planning on decorating this year. I just wasn’t feeling it for some reason. Well, I guess I do know the reasons if I think about it. It was a combination of my mind not being in a decorating place much this […]

Before I say anything else – I need to say a huge Thank You. I should have started off my last post with it and I was remiss. For all your love, kindness, and support regarding my Scary Month post – for sharing your stories with me, for telling me that my words helped lift […]

You know I love me a thrifty yard sale project! Today’s post is no exception – when I saw this table on a local yard sale page, I knew I needed to grab it. In fact, I grabbed two – one is slightly different, and haven’t made that one over yet, but you know I’ll […]
Winter White Coffee Filter Wreath (Decked out for Valentine’s Day!)
January 31, 2017 by 6 Comments
Up until about 5 days ago, I still had our Christmas greens wreath up on the front door, sporting the word ‘merry’ across it. Bad little blogger, I know, but I just didn’t have anything to go up – I have a spring wreath, but too soon for that. And then it hit me! I […]
Thrifty Art: Dollar Tree Mirrors
January 24, 2017 by 1 Comment
Those of you who’ve been with me a while might remember My Dollar Tree Mirror Art? That time I used command strips and twelve mirrors from my local Dollar Tree to create this big ol’ mirror in our main hallway? Wellll, of course things can’t stay the same TOO long in here, so naturally I’m […]

January 15, 2017 by 11 Comments
Remember my little DIY Coffee Bar we made a couple years ago? (By the way, how was that TWO YEARS AGO??) I loved that thing. But as all things seem to do in this house, the dining room evolved and I rearranged and things changed…I bought a mug rack that I ADORE for that spot: […]

Happy 2017, guys! Hard to believe I’m saying that already. I hate to see the holidays go, but there’s something wonderful about January, isn’t there? I get all reflective with the dawn of a new year. I’m not one for making resolutions, but I do like to reexamine things a bit, and try and better myself. […]

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!
