Hey there! Hope you had a good weekend. I have been searching for a new, um, used chair for my desk, and still have yet to find what I like. So, I figured it’s time to just make the best of what ya got and recover the chair that’s already in place.
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...]
Hi there! It’s already turning out to be a busy holiday season and it’s not even December 1st yet! I’ve been  sorting through Christmas decorations and creating our advent calendar which I’ll be sharing with you later this week! Today, I took some time out for a little chalk therapy and created our Christmas chalkboard. You may have seen some previous posts about our chalkboard here and here. This time, I decided to add a little something extra to the chalkboard {Read More}
Hey there!! What’s new with you? Â If you’re new here, please take a look around and feel free to leave a comment. It just makes my day to hear from you!

Happy Monday! I’ve got to share with you another little crafty project I did this weekend. I made my own mercury glass candlesticks! Okay, I realize that I am probably like the LAST person to do this but just humor me for a few minutes, um-kay? :) This all started because I’ve been swooning over some great mercury glass items from Ballard Designs like these: I found some great tutorials on pinterest on making your own mercury glass and decided to put {Read More}
Hey there! Hope you had a great weekend! We got so much done this weekend and one of those projects was phase 2 of our patio – The firepit! I can’t believe that it has taken us almost a month to do something that took us less than an hour to complete. Really, it took longer to go get all the supplies than it took to unload and put it all together. And now we enjoy the cool fall evenings {Read More}

Happy Labor Day! Hope you’ve had a great weekend! We’ve pretty much had a do nothing relaxing kind of weekend with all the rain finally here from Isaac, but I’ve managed to sneak in a little DIY therapy here and there. ;) Today, I’m going to share how I painted house numbers on our front door. Super Easy!! I have been wanting to put house numbers up for some time but because of the small front porch, we have limited {Read More}
Hey there! I can’t believe I let an entire week get away from me without posting! This week has been the most productive in a long time. I think this might have been one of those weeks where I say, “let’s see how much we can accomplish in 5 days!!” Then at the end of it all, we stand back to admire our great work and then I collapse. So if this post suddenly comes to a halt, then you’ll {Read More}
