Wow. So my last post was eerily timely, huh? But just as I said in that post, I will continue to go forth and blog…while I pray and pray…and pray some more for Paris and the rest of this world of ours. God bless. If you recall from the Basement Makeover Post, there were too […]

Oh MAN you guys! I’m so excited about this post I can’t even tell you! It’s been something I’ve wanted to do forEVER and I finally bit the bullet last week and tackled it! BY MYSELF!!! Usually when there’s a big project (which pretty much means anything more involved than say, a) hot glue gun b) […]
Don’t Forget the Doors! (And Railing…and knobs)
November 2, 2015 by 4 Comments
This – what I’m about to blog about right this very second – is something I almost overlooked. Something I almost wasn’t going to worry about. It’s not that big of a deal, I said. It won’t make that big a difference, I said. HA! If I only knew… Details, friends. It’s those small touches that […]
DIY Chalkboard Menu
October 26, 2015 by 4 Comments
Yes. It’s another chalkboard. In my defense, this is just an UPDATE TO AN EXISTING CHALKBOARD. So technically – technically – I’m not adding any more here, I’m just making one a little way more awesome. We have a chalkboard menu in our kitchen. Might’ve been one of THE very first “naptime” projects – and you […]
That Time I Got a Table and Chairs for $20…
October 21, 2015 by 8 Comments
Sometimes things just have a way of working out. Take this table for instance. My husband has somehow held onto this oak round table from his BACHELOR PAD. (We’re talking decades). It has moved with him many times, and we’ve even tried to sell it! And yet…it still remains. You may have one just like it […]

Ok, took a quick break from the basement posts, but we’re back at ’em today with our DIY Chalkboard and Banner! Before, this little wall next to the kid closet was just meh. And now… If you’ve been a follower for a while, you know how I feel about chalkboards. I love them. Always have, […]
DIY Fall Paper Leaf Garland

I don’t know if it’s the DIY Book Page Wreath I made a few weeks ago or what, but I can’t seem to stop trying to find ways to decorate with paper these days! It’s so fun, and one of – if not THE – cheapest way to decorate! I mean, what’s not to love? […]
Large ‘HOME’ Letters
October 11, 2015 by 5 Comments
I know, ANOTHER basement post! Sorry, for those of you who are sick and tired of it. My apologies. I do have a couple non-related basement posts to write that I promise to fit in soon;) So stick with me! Today, I’m sharing the giant HOME letters I kinda sorta DIY-ed on the plank wall. […]

Kid Art Gallery Wall

I am currently sitting here tracking the shipment on my very last piece to the basement puzzle as we speak (or type!), and can hardly wait to share this room with you. If this particular item I ordered is as cute as it appears online, the post will be up sometime next week! Yay! In […]
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!
