My Life as a DIY Wannabe
Last week I posted about my Home Goals for 2012. The first thing I really want to tackle on my list? Start introducing more of my eclectic style in my traditional great room, which means a POP of color and some funky pieces. I recently added new lamps to my master bedroom and wanted to [...]
So the holidays have come and gone this year, and my house almost feels empty without decorations busting from the seams. I still wanted a little bit of winter flair so I decided to create a fun and festive Pinecone Winter Wreath using my favorite winter colors, silver & blue. Pin It First I gathered [...]
WOW, what a year! I went “live” with this little blog back on May 23rd as a way to record my DIY projects while my hubby was off working nights and weekends. I could have never dreamed that 7 months later I would have over 700 Facebook followers and a daily average of about 5,000 [...]
I first spotted this gorgeous flowered lamp shade below from Anthropologie a couple of weeks ago on Pinterest. Priced at $98, I knew I could easily create something similar for MUCH less! And I know just the place… my daughter’s plain jane pink lamp shade. First thing I did was gather my supplies. I purchased [...]
There’s a wonderful little antique and home decor shop called Willow Lake right up the road from my house. While grazing through their shop last month, I spotted a beautifully distressed green shutter for only $15.

It got me thinking… I love how these puppies are versatile: hang on some hooks or a corner of mirror, display them [...]
My kitchen is definitely not my dream kitchen. For some stupid reason when my husband and I built our first home together 6 years ago, we picked out gray countertops and builder grade oak cabinets in the kitchen. Blah! The gray countertops against the orangish oak cabinets never made sense to me and I wanted [...]
I found this adorable fabric scrap wreath from One More Moore’s blog post she created back in November 2010. I thought this craft would be the perfect idea to add a little bling to my daughter’s bedroom door. So off I went to get my supplies! I purchased a metal wreath frame for $3, a [...]
My family finally got home from our Florida vacation late Saturday night and I already miss our lazy days at the beach. To remember our times in Panama City, I thought I would create something out of the seashells my daughter collected. So first up is a mini seashell wreath to hang on my fireplace just [...]
So, I’m still off on vacation, but thought I would post some little tidbits this weeks that I’ve had stashed away for a rainy day. Ok, so my great room has been decorated since we first moved into our home in 2006. My parents were nice enough to pay for our great room furniture as [...]
