Super quick post for inquiring minds… When I made my Freebie DIY Boxwoods last November, none of us knew how they’d pan out. Would they even make it a couple weeks? Through Christmas? I didn’t know, but I promised you I’d keep you in the loop. It is now January 18th, and this photo was […]
A Chair for the Big Girl Room
January 11, 2016 by 5 Comments
Ever since I finished my daughter’s Big Girl Room, I’ve been looking for a beanbag chair for a particular corner of her room. It just looked like it needed something, but MAN! It was hard. You see, it’s a spot right next to her bold coral dresser, so it couldn’t be anything too in your […]

Recently I discovered this gem at Hobby Lobby: They sell these awesome bundles of driftwood! I know, right?! They come in a couple sizes – that pic shows the long ones, which I used for the H in my “Home” letters: But they also sell smaller ones. I was so excited when I spotted them, […]

Who wants some free swag?! (see what I did there?) 😉 Now, I know Christmas is just a few days away now, but I am not your typical blogger and seem to do these projects in ‘real time’ – aka I’m decorating with the rest of you, not months early like I should if I […]

Oh. Em. Geeeeee YOU GUYS! This one is gonna knock your socks off. How a $3 sample of paint can make THIS much of a difference…blows my mind every time! Let’s get right down to it, shall we? I’ve been living with a boring white door in our kitchen (it’s the side door entrance) for, […]
Easy Personalized Burlap Christmas Stockings
December 8, 2015 by 3 Comments
I decided to switch things up in the Christmas stockings department this year. Well, just for my husband and me. I wasn’t crazy about the ones we bought a jillion years ago and they had a lot of forest green and maroon colors goin’ on – didn’t really vibe with the colors we had in […]
A Basket Makeover

Yeah, weird title, right? Who makes over baskets? Well, I do, apparently. But you see, I have this china cabinet in the dining room. It always had a couple baskets on top of it that were perfect for storing table linens. I stole them when I gave my kitchen island that makeover – remember that? […]

So I have this boxwood wreath obsession. But they’re so stinkin’ expensive! And you know me, if there’s a way to do it on the cheap, I WILL FIND IT. 😉 I got to thinking…if only there was a way to make these…and then the thought occurred to me: ummmmm, LIZ YOU HAVE BOXWOOD BUSHES OUTSIDE YOUR […]

Joy! My First Christmas Craft of the Season
November 24, 2015 by 14 Comments
Yes, I did it. The Christmas crafts are officially upon us, and I tackled my first one over the weekend. It was funny – I had just walked in the house from a Friendsgiving feast with our best friends and I kid you not – the DIY Leaf Garland that has yet to fall ONCE […]
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!
