Yesterday I shared my burlap ‘score’. I couldn’t let a pile of burlap just sit there when I had two nekked chairs now, could I? These pillows are ridiculously easy too. All you need is spray paint and a felt leaf from the dollar store. Oh, and burlap, of course. Although any fabric would work. […]
Simple Fall Decor
Simple fall décor. When I use the word “simple”, it usually means one of two things – 1) I’m not finished with the project so therefore it is “simple” or 2) I’ve done the project so many times it feels comfortable to me and therefore “simple”. My front porch is a little of both. I’ve […]
Spray Paint Pillows
A while back I started some paint projects for Memorial Day. Well, since Life thru me a curve ball, I’ll just use these for 4th of July. This project didn’t start off as a pillow, actually. I had these wooden stars in my unmade Christmas project stash. You know the one, right? Unmade Christmas, unmade […]
Craft A Chalkboard from a Mirror
Yes. You read that right. A chalkboard. From a mirror. It wasn’t exactly what I first had in mind when the great people at Plaid Crafts sent me this goodie box. Craft paint, glitter paint, chalkboard paint, Mod Podge, foam applicators and Hello! new paintbrushes! I always need new paintbrushes. It’s no secret that I […]

Chocolate & Gold Christmas Tree
The holiday season is all about traditions, isn’t it? One of my new favs is Sarah’s Christmas Tree Party, so this is a rewind from a couple of Christmas’ ago. But it’s still one of my favorite trees. As a little girl, hanging homemade ornaments and silver tinsel on our tree, I’d never have dreamed […]
Christmas Home Tour–A Little of This ‘n That
Welcome! I put together a few Christmas photo collages to join the phone at Melissa’s Christmas Home Tours. As I looked at each grouping I realized that this year I decorated with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. There’s a theme for each area, but they are all different. Wanna […]
No-Sew Stenciled Runner with Glitter Paint
I decided to switch things up this Christmas with a little turquoise, silver and white in the dining room. When it comes to decorating my own home for the holidays, I’ve always been pretty traditional – red and gold and maybe for a little excitement, throw in some silver. That’s for my own home. When […]
