If I happen to mention my house is clean. This is the space I am referring to. My room might have a laundry pile as big as Mt. Everest and the kids rooms might be littered with toys, but if these rooms are clean...the house is clean. It is just how I roll. It is our living space, it is what company sees if they stop by, and it is what I see when I am hanging out in my home. Besides, I can just close the bedroom doors and voila. I have shared with you my home, but as we have changed and ...
Before/Afters
Stenciled Drapes
Let me start by saying I have never successfully stenciled anything. I see beautifully stenciled things and wonder, HOW DID THEY DO THAT? Making the decision to stencil my drapes was a big one! I was really nervous, but I knew I wanted some bold curtains and this was the most affordable option. When I looked into stenciling one name in the blog world kept coming up over and over again.

Mod Podge Letter

(You can always cut it out later, like when you are waiting for paint to dry.) Paint the sides of your letter. I used acrylic ...
DIY Fourth of July Flip Flops
First off, I want to start by telling you I am in LOVE with this project. I have a million and one reasons running through my head as to why one might want to paint flip flops. Literally anyone can do this and I am so excited about the flip flops I will be rocking this Fourth of July. We ran to Walmart on Ross's lunch yesterday. You can see more about our shopping trip here. I picked up some Elmer's Single Painters Pens and flip flops along with groceries and lunch. Talk about a one stop ...
DIY Memo Board
You may have noticed these memo boards in Eleanor's Room. Today I am giving you the low down on how I made them. They were super simple and used supplies I already had on hand. I absolutely love a project I don't have to go out and buy anything for. I reuse, move and change things up all the time. When something doesn't work where it was, I try to think of a better or different way of using it. These cork boards were above Eleanor's crib when it was facing the other way. When I turned her ...
