This post brought to you by Faultless/Bon Ami Company . The content and opinions expressed below are that of Balancing Home. I hate ironing, therefore I love starch. Anything to get the job done quicker and keep it crisper longer. Starch isn't just for ironing! I used starch to hang some gold polka-dot burlap fabric along the back of our TV credenza. That, along with a little spray paint for the handles, really dressed up our free/hand-me-down TV credenza. We took out the shelf ...

For the Sake of the Children
When the Christmas decorations came down Eleanor was all about, what comes next? She was constantly asking to decorate. I didn't feel like decorating, but it just made the kids so darn happy that I couldn't help but share in their joy. Just a little. Kids have a way of doing that to you--of making you see the world just a little differently.

Spring Mantle With Nest Specimen Art
Yay! It's spring! Okay, not really. We have a fresh 7-9 inches of snow outside and the ten day forecast doesn't even hit 40 degrees.

Needless to say, regardless of the weather, Easter is right around the corner so it was time to get my Easter/spring shelf ...
My Ever-Changing Dining Room Shelf
Ever since we put this dining room shelf up (Christmas of 2011) a little over a year ago, it has become my go-to place for decorating. I love that I can see this shelf from the kitchen, dining room and living room. It makes my whole house feel festive and focusing most of my efforts on one wall gives me a lot of bang for my buck. I thought it would be fun to go back and check out the shelf's many transformations. Christmas Shelf Shelf Decor My Valentine Wall Eleanor's First ...
Valentine Shelf Vignette and Free Printables
My Valentine's shelf is up. I pretty much just re-used what I had with a little different spin. The frames are back featuring some Valentine's printables, which I made available for all of you. The fabric pennant bunting, Valentine's wreath, and balloon topiaries are all projects from the past. And that is how you roll on a budget. I gotta tell you, I have such a hard time snapping photos of this shelf. There is a window directly across from the shelf. I need the light to take nice ...
