Since I’ve been on an “update the windows” kick lately I decided to make some new curtains for our front window. When we moved in, I purchased some cheap ones from Target and they have held up pretty well; however, after 5 years it was time for some new ones. I started browsing around JoAnn […]

DIY Product Photo Backdrop or Dress Up Rack
I am always looking for a better backdrop for my Etsy items. I needed something that would be interchangeable and portable. While thinking about it, I realized that wrapping paper would be perfect because it come in a variety of colors/patterns and is relatively universal in length. After building this skeleton, I had it sitting […]
DIY 4th of July Wreath
I am excited for the upcoming 4th of July holiday. This year I have decided to do a completely Pinterest Inspired BBQ complete with decorations. One thing I wanted to make was a wreath for the front door. I’ve made a few different wreaths using 12″ Craft Rings including a wine cork wreath, a clothespin […]
Valentine’s Day Conversation Hearts Vase
All of my decorating energy goes into Christmas; however, I saw a pin quite a few years ago with some conversation hearts in a large vase and decided that I wanted to recreate it, especially after discovering that I could buy the conversation hearts by the pound at Win-Co. I already had these vases in […]
DIY Chevron Table Runner
I have become slightly obsessed with the chevron pattern. I didn’t understand it at first; however, I have been converted and love seeing it all over. This past summer, I bought a bunch of chevron fabric and this past weekend I used some of this fabric to make a table runner. To make this runner, […]
Wine Cork Wreath
So many corks, such little time. I bought a box of corks on ebay this past spring and have been using them in various crafts this fall (yes I realize that I skipped summer, but I wasn’t doing much besides healing this summer). One of the crafts I made was a wreath that used red […]
DIY Welcome Mat
I’ve been in search of a new welcome mat for our front door. I haven’t found exactly what I wanted, so I made my own! This turned out to be a simple project and just took a few minutes to complete. Below is the tutorial of how to make your own welcome mat. I made […]
Updated Bathroom Paint
Brad was in California this week chaperoning the school’s band tour (at Disneyland…yes, I’m a little jealous) and I knew that I needed a good project for the week so that I didn’t end up shopping every evening. A couple years ago I painted our downstairs bathroom two different shades of green but as I […]
Clothespin Picture Holder
An exciting Saturday night of crafts! Renee and I ventured out to the craft store Saturday evening with a mission to make a clothespin picture holder. We also learned that clothespins are available at the dollar store and are a TON cheaper than the craft store. Our goal for these are to show off pictures […]
Welcome Sign
About a month ago I went to IKEA to return a couple items, when I walked in I discovered that they were having a garage sale of sorts. They had a bunch of doors and drawer fronts that were all $1! I knew that these would be perfect for some sort of project so I […]
