I know it is August so it is a bit crazy to be thinking about winter or Christmas, but Lamps Plus and Hometalk are hosting a Holiday Design Challenge and yours truly is participating. I am really crushing on metallics lately. Mixing metals is where it is at and I'm falling back in love with gold. Do we even have to talk about my obsession with photos? It personalizes everything. I created metallic color blocked Christmas ornaments. I started by taping the ornament at the line, ...

Color Blocked Metallic Terra Cotta Flower Pot
When I was a junior in college my now husband--then boyfriend--gave me a potted plant. That was nearly a decade ago and now the pot looks like this. It was broke down to say the least.

Four seasons, 12 months means each season only gets three months (cue laughter from every.single.person who lives in Wisconsin). Needless to say, regardless of the weather, Easter is right around the corner so it was time to get my Easter/spring shelf ...
Pillow for E’s Room Using Mod Podge Photo Tranfer
Eleanor's room continues to progress. I shared my progress on Eleanor's big girl room along with a Mood Board for her reading nook last week. No reading nook is complete without pillows. Today I am going to share with you how I customized a pillow I already had using Mod Podge Photo Transfer Medium. In case you didn't know, Eleanor knows ever letter of the alphabet. She can identify uppercase and lowercase in various fonts. Pointing to letters and naming them is one of her favorite things to ...
