creating home. inspiring you.
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...]
HI! :) Hope you’ve had a good week! I’m back and so excited to mark off another item from the to-do list of 2013 with the completion of the kiddo’s closet reading nook!
If you remember back in January this room had only a fresh coat of paint and a new DIY light pendant. Now, it’s become a favorite hangout every night for story time and play!  Let’s take a look at a before picture, shall we?  Hang on to your seat!  [Please click to continue reading...]
Today, I’m talking decorating trends, specifically nailheads. Â I keep seeing nailhead trim pop up in some amazing places, and it’s definitely sure to be a hot trend for 2013. Nailhead trim is such an easy way to add personality and style to your decor, but it might not be for everyone. What are your thoughts? Â Let’s take a look at some outside the box uses for nailheads and see what inspires you!

Hello!! It’s been a little quiet around the house this week while we are still dealing with colds and trying to get organized in the new year. I’ll have some posts up soon showing our progress around here, just as soon as I get all the pictures organized! ;) So today I took a little time out to search for some inspiration for our home office that I plan to makeover this year! Last week I shared with you our {Read More}
Back in November, I showed you how I created an entryway in a verrrrry tiny space.Okay, well it’s small anyway. :) Â It takes some planning, but it can be done! One of the things I still wanted to add were curtains around our front door. I’m so happy to say, I finally got them up! I bought some burlap fabric and hemmed around the edges. (Okay, I didn’t actually do the sewing, I confess!) That’s what good mother’s are for. {Read More}
Of all the decorating and Christmas projects, our Christmas tree is always my favorite. As long as I can remember as a child, we always had an artificial tree. I remember pulling the box down from the attic and shaping each and every branch until it was just right. All that changed a few years ago when my husband suggested we get a real tree! Let me tell you that I LOVE having a real tree at Christmas time! Not {Read More}
One of my favorite things about the holidays is getting to decorate the front porch! I’m a twinkly light and fresh greenery kinda girl and while I won’t be on a 20 foot ladder hanging lights from the rooftop, I still like to do my fair share of decorating for the holidays! This year I used a lot of ornaments in our outdoor decorations. What can I say, they’re easy and that’s how I roll. :) I picked up some {Read More}
Hey there!! What a fun week of Christmas decorating and crafting ideas! And there is so much more to come next week! I’ve got most all of our Christmas decorating done except for just some finishing touches. (Can I get an Amen?!) One of those finishing touches was the holiday table. Back in November, I created this stenciled table runner for cheap so easily with just a painter’s drop cloth. I used it in my fall tablescape with the intentions that {Read More}
21 days until Christmas! Wow, can you believe how fast this is flying by already? Today, I’m sharing our Christmas mantel. Yep, the stockings are already hung and ready for Santa! Remember my Mercury Glass tutorial? You can see the candlesticks I made there on the mantel. I was soooo excited to do this again and create the vases you see on each end. The gold votive candle holders came from Target and are the same ones I used on {Read More}
