creating home. inspiring you.
Hey there! Hope your week is off to a good start! It was a busy weekend with Bree’s 2nd birthday party and Mother’s Day all rolled into one! I have lots of fun pics to show from her birthday party (bet you can’t guess the theme!) but first I’m going to show you how to make your own cake stands for cheap cheap cheap!

Here’s the before of the chair, and let me say this is not the original chair either. It’s already been covered once… or twice. :) Nothing a little spray paint and updated fabric can’t fix. [Please click to continue reading...]
While I was away on my (a-hem) “Spring Break” last week, I did manage to get a few things done and make some progress in the whole home office makeover project. One of my favorite additions to my work space is this easy framed corkboard that I made for about $8! [Please click to continue reading...]
Hey there! Hope you had a good weekend! I managed to make a little more progress in the home office re-do with some window casing, and I’m pretty excited about how it turned out that I’m planning on doing it throughout the house. One more item for my never ending to-do list, right? :)
Adding just some simple trim around the windows can really change the look of a room and you only need some simple tools to do it!

Hi everyone! I think I might just be the last DIY person on earth to use chalkpaint.
