Tuesday Tutorial: Statement Art on a DIY Budget

August 9, 2011 by Megan 2 Comments

When it came time to dress up the walls in Quinn's room I knew I wanted something that made a statement. Since we are DIY'ers I planned all along to make something. We can all print on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper so it makes sense that this DIY project would have to be on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. I wanted big impact so I decided to place four 8x10 frames in a 2x2 grid. The obvious choice of art was Bucky Badger. My son adores Bucky: There are various programs you could use on your computer to ...

Thrifty Thursday: Hutch to Headboard

August 3, 2011 by Megan Leave a Comment

Nothing says thrifty like repurposed furniture. We got an entire bedroom set at a rummage sale (bunk beds, desk, dresser, dresser with a hutch and bookshelf) that wasn't being used. They were, but then Eleanor was born and Quinn moved upstairs. Upstairs has built in dressers, so no need for those. We were trying to come up with a headboard idea for Quinn's room. We even thought about building one to give it the built in look. I had no idea wood could cost so much! Then my husband was rummaging ...

Whatever Wednesday: Get Your Chevron On

August 2, 2011 by Megan 7 Comments

Chevrons have been showing up on literally everything and I am totally in love with the chevron craze. As part of the pinterest challenge put on by YHL I decided to turn my love of chevrons into a fun wall for Quinn's bedroom makeover. Now, it takes a certain kind of crazy to do this... especially at one in the morning. Hey, things gotta get done and we happen to be that special kind of crazy. A Glimpse @ my "For the Home" pinboard Now would be a good time to mention that ...

Makeover Monday: Rummage Sale Clock

July 25, 2011 by Megan 18 Comments

I have a makeover that is sure to cure a case of the Mondays. You may remember my clock from my rummage sale post. You may remember that the clock part didn't even work. That was fine by me because I never meant to use it as a clock. Some of you may have noticed a trend in home decor, the sunburst mirror. This Bone Sunburst Mirror is $269.00 from Ballard Design. This sunburst mirror from Ballard is $349.00 $99.00 from Ballard ...
