Decorating a mantel is one of those things that can drive you a little nuts. When, really, it should be fun. But with so many fabulous mantels floating around on Pinterest, it’s pretty easy to second guess yourself. Or is it just me? I’ll freely admit, I’m not a minimalist at all in decorating. In […]
Spraypaint Burlap Pillow with Dollar Store Leaf
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. […]

Paint a Watermelon Floorcloth with Krylon Dual Spray Paint
Who doesn’t love spray paint? If there’s something easier, and quicker, to transform a project, I don’t know what it is. So I was beyond excited to try a new spray paint by Krylon. It’s paint + primer. In one can! I couldn’t wait to give this paint + primer a try. I had been […]
Lazy Gal’s Guide to Fall Decorating
I coined this phrase yesterday – Lazy Gal’s Guide to Decorating – just as a passing thought. But a Facebook friend thought it was catchy. And when I thought about it a little more, I have to admit, I really am lazy when I decorate – especially for myself. I think the key, though, is […]
