Easy Home Makeover Projects: Stenciling Your Kitchen

November 2, 2015 Leave a Comment

Stenciling is among the cost-effective and a creative home improvement technique. It can work with any décor from contemporary to traditional. It can also be used on a variety of surfaces including the walls. Stencils are particularly ideal for a kitchen where you may not have adequate space to hang artwork, photos, and other decorative elements. Here are some stencilling tips that can help give your kitchen a dramatic look.

A stencil design can give your shabby kitchen cabinets and furniture an instant makeover. If yours is a themed kitchen, you can consider adding stencils to the centre of the cabinet doors with imaginative shapes, like yachts for a beach theme. [Read more…]

With fall festivities comes the opportunity to get creative on so many levels! I love getting in the kitchen and making some yummy fall recipes for my family and outside events, and I also LOVE decorating our porch and living room for the fall season! Today I’m sharing a little bit of my fall creativity. I’ve got a delicious Peanut Butter Pie recipe, featuring yummy fall flavors, and I’m going to share a tutorial on how I create the fall scene on my porch. The fall scene also doubles a fun photo booth for your trick or treaters and fall guests!

Friday Favorites – Week 290 – With Halloween Decor

October 15, 2015 4 Comments

Happy Friday to you! Even though I’ve put my party post over every week, I feel terrible that I’ve missed out on doing features these last two or three weeks! And I especially regret that all this business happened during what is perhaps my favorite time of year for blogging….I LOVE featuring fall and Halloween ideas!

But on the flipside, one of the thing’s that has kept from me from doing features is all the great blog work I’ve been doing. Lately I really feel like I’ve cranked out some fun and creative posts! If you have time, I’d love for you to take a look at all the recipes and projects we’ve been busy with!

Now without further ado, let’s get to this week’s party featuring some oh-so-creative Halloween decor!

Bedroom Makeover and Tips for Working with Small Spaces

August 19, 2015 1 Comment

Don’t you just love a good room makeover? Me too! And I especially love it when it’s dramatic! My husband and I are in the process of making a lot of changes in the house. A while back we swapped out the furniture. Shortly thereafter I purchased new bedding, and last week we moved the furniture to an entirely new room.

Here’s the old room:

This photo was taken a long time ago, so it’s not my best, but you get the idea….here I had a green bedspread, featuring red flowers. It seemed very vibrant when I first purchased it but the pattern definitely got old for me and was starting to feel a little old fashioned.

As for the furniture, I’ve always liked this set. It had a very classic appeal with ornate features, but it’s always nice to have a change!

Here’s the new bedroom: [Read more…]

Coca-Cola Happy Hour + Patriotic Coke-Inspired Table Decor

I’m so excited about the hot summer weather here! One of my favorite summer activities is just sitting on the front porch or the back deck with my hubby. Whether we’re sitting out in the hot sun or under the stars at night, it is always good to have this time to spend with him just laughing and talking as we share a Coke!

This summer Coca-Cola has brought back their Share a Coke campaign, complete with fun personalized bottles and cans. Coke has always been my favorite drink, and last year I had my fair share of cans and bottles with fun words like “Superstar” and Soulmate” written on them. Then this year I’ve gotten bottles that feature emoticons and the words “Love” and “Amor.” But even better than that, I found a bottle with my husband’s name on it! [Read more…]

10 Handmade Mother’s Day Gifts

May 5, 2015 Leave a Comment

Are you ready for Mother’s Day? This year I have a set of really cute bird plates for my mom. But in the past I’ve given her some of my own handmade jewelry from my shop:

As an Etsy shop owner, I appreciate and am thrilled about every sale that I get, especially right now, which is a slow time for me. I also know how hard it can be to get your name out their and get advertiser (especially when you’re on a budget). For this reason, I like to give other Etsy shops and handmade businesses exposure on my blog though low-cost paid advertisements and free features whenever possible.

Today I’ve put together a nice Mother’s Day gift guide featuring some lovely things that I’d love to have and items I think any mom would love!

$200 Lush Decor Giveaway

January 16, 2015 51 Comments

All month long I’ve been cleaning and doing a little organizing around the homestead. And I’ve also been thinking of some upcoming home makeover and decor projects! I’ve been browsing Lush Decor, and they have some great items for the home. I especially love their bedding sets. I have a couple of bedspreads that I swap in and out, but I haven’t bought a new one in a while, and I’ve really been wanting to do an update. Lush Decor has some beautiful colors and fabrics and everything looks to be very well made. I also love all the modern designs they offer. Any one of their bedding sets will easily give a fresh and luxurious look to any of your bedrooms. [Read more…]

My Fall Decor

October 15, 2014 2 Comments

With Halloween just around the corner (Can you believe it??), it seemed like a good time to share my fall decor. For the fall season, I find that a little goes a long way. By just adding a few items to a buffet table, fireplace, or front porch area, you can easily give your home a touch of fall.

This year I didn’t actually buy anything new, but I did change things up in the way I decorated from previous years. Take a look around and let me know what you think. (Also, be sure to take a look at this collection of 15 Fall Subway Art Printables if you’re in need of some cheap decor options.) [Read more…]

15 Fall Subway Art Printables

October 6, 2014 3 Comments

I feel like I’m a little late to the party with this post, since everyone started sharing their fall decor a month ago, but I was doing my fall decorating last weekend (decor post still to come), and I decided to go online and get a free printable to frame for my living room. When I started searching, I was overwhelmed by all the cuteness I saw, so I decided to throw together a post with some of my favorites!

I have to confess, I did recycle the 5 at the bottom from a previous post I did, to get 15 for this post! The five I shared a couple of years ago were so cute, I thought they were worth a second look, and I like having all of these in one place just for my own convenience, and I’m sure it’s better for you too.

As always, the links where you go to download this great artwork can be found underneath each photo. Hope you enjoy!
