I have told you a few times about my friends in Cincinnati…they live in this gorgeous old home. Chris had these really old pocket doors that she found in the cellar…and was at a loss for what to do with them. I have had them in my garage for about 2 years…no joke (hubs has been super happy to have them in there too…or not…) Any who, I … [Read more...]
I wanted to pop in and share this fun idea for your New Year’s Eve celebration. An empty wine bottle, some icing, and fortune cookies….perfect for a fun night of ringing in the new year!

I kind of lucked out with this headboard for the Peanut’s room….found it at a local peddlers mall for $25. If you wanted to recreate this same idea….you have a few options. One….finding a great old headboard and paint it like I did….two, you could paint chalkboard paint directly on the wall and frame it with trim, three…you … [Read more...]
I know a lot of us spend some serious time in the car during the summer months. And I also know that kids are best behaved when there is something in their mouth…I joke I joke…sort of. So I was on a mission to create a tray of some sort that could be wiped clean, kept in the back pocket of the car seat, and was easy and cheap to make. The kids … [Read more...]

$8 worth of nautical rope from the hardware store…plus a large vase from TJMaxx for $10. This really doesn’t even deserve a post…but heck…maybe you will be inspired to make one too ;) I was inspired by Potterybarn’s current catalog.

I shared this last week at Tattertot's and Jello....but in case you didn't catch it there ;) Here is a super way to repurpose an old bottle. I used a wine bottle…cause I have a few laying around…girl’s night last weekend…nuff said. Anywho, I thought maybe if I used some fun green thread that I had on hand (or I stole it from my … [Read more...]
This all started with a .25 bag of cool nails from Restore (the Habitat for Humanity store). My thought was to use them for some string art. Wasn't that popular in the 70's? Isn't it funny how everything comes back around. String art....back en vogue...who knew right?!?! My version is a bit more rustic(at least it turned out that way). I used items … [Read more...]
