****Please read update at the bottom of the post to see how these held up!**** Happy Sunday, all! We accomplished a little bit in the Master Bedroom Makeover this weekend…a little more baseboard went up, curtain rods, and I finally made some curtains that I envisioned back in NOVEMBER. Yes, I bought all the materials […]
Say Hello To My Pretty Plank Wall
February 16, 2016 by 10 Comments
One step closer in the Master Bedroom Makeover, friends! Being the romantics that we are, my sweet husband wrapped up the plank wall on Valentine’s Day. I mean, does he know the way to my heart or WHAT? I won’t go into too much detail this time around, because we pretty much did the exact same thing […]
Yet Another Look For My Husband’s Dresser
February 8, 2016 by 96 Comments
Because nothing stays the same around here for too long, I changed up my husband’s dresser…AGAIN. When we moved into our house almost 10 years ago, we bought a grown-up bedroom set and we were so excited. Look at us! We’re like, REAL ADULTS, buying a whole matching set from a REAL furniture store…like, it […]
A Cutting Board + Kitchen Stool = A Table?
January 19, 2016 by 12 Comments
You may think I’ve completely gone off my rocker with this one, folks. You see, we got a new bed last Fall. We went from queen to king, and when that happened, our large nightstands no longer fit. We basically have only one wall to place our bed, due to bathrooms and closets and all […]
DIY Boxwood Wreath Update: The Verdict Is In…
January 18, 2016 by Leave a Comment
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, […]
A Free Garland Idea…and DIY Free Swags
December 21, 2015 by Leave a Comment
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 […]
A New Black Door and a White Cozy Wreath
December 11, 2015 by 18 Comments
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 […]
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!
