I was clearing out my closet not too long ago (as I am constantly doing – two people sharing a small closet will make you a constant clothes purger). Ever since I read that life changing tidying up book, the minute I find fault with an article of clothing, it goes in the donation pile. […]

October 4, 2017 by Leave a Comment
What do you get when you combine a lazy day of Summer vacation, a mom who’s on a purging rampage of ALL.THE.STUFF. we no longer need, and a seriously creative 10 year old girl who loves nothing more than her sweet dolls? A DIY Doll Bunk Bed, that’s what! Can I just tell you – […]

Repurposed Shelves in My Daughter’s Room…and Realizing I Need To Start Acting More Like My Mother.
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: […]

I’m pretty pumped about this one, folks. My husband was about to toss some old jeans last week. They were covered in holes…and not the cute kind that is popular now, you know, the ripped ones we PAY good money for (guilty – I am actually wearing a pair and have several more in my […]
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 […]

Who wants some free swag?! (see what I did there?) š 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 […]

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 […]

October 15, 2015 by 4 Comments
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, […]
