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 […]

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 […]
Our Freebie DIY Dartboard Project
November 15, 2015 by 8 Comments
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 […]

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, […]
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!
