This next project came from wanting a little piece of the beach with me at home this summer since I won’t be seeing it in person. So say hello to my Rope Nautical Wreath… I have to admit, I totally winged this project. I would like to say that I totally thought it out and planned all of the pieces, but… View Post
This time of year I often have lots of fresh fruit in the house and try to find new ways to use it before the week’s end. And there’s nothing better than a fruity, sweet dessert in my opinion. I actually got this idea from my chicken bacon ranch egg roll recipe when I had leftover egg roll wraps from dinner… View Post
I’ve been seeing these twine wrapped glass vases everywhere recently. They’re pretty cute, but not cheap. So I thought for some 4th of July fun I would try to create some on my own! SUPPLIES: (3) glass vases ($1 each from local thrift store or Dollar General) Jute ($2.33 from Hobby Lobby or similar) Red, white and blue sparkle ornaments from… View Post

My brother gave me the green light to makeover his guest bedrooms while we’re staying at his house during these next 3 months…. View Post
I think I might have a small obsession with laundry room organization and makeovers. This is like the 4th one on this blog in the past 4 years: our first home, second home, my neighbor’s, and now this one… my brother’s house. His family just moved into a brand new home and they wanted to get a couple rooms organized, especially… View Post
Since we’re living in my brother’s house right now I’m trying to be as organized as possible in the limited space we have. Ellie’s bedroom definitely comes to mind. So last week I found this little magazine rack for $5 and thought it would be fun to upcycle as a place to hold her books. For this project I decided… View Post
