After taking some photos, I made a few changes in our bedroom. Small changes, yes; but so important to the feel of the space. We are draping a navy Ethiopian blanket {we bought it during a mission trip there} over the headboard. The blanket blends in with our navy wall, so I wanted something simple …

We’re heading into a new month, so it’s time for another giveaway! It is kind of hard to believe; but we are creeping up on the back-to-school time of year. This print set gives a nod to back-to-school in a fresh, modern way. Of course, the alphabet is the iconic school symbol. Modern Floral Alphabet …

A little over a year ago, we installed marble vanity tops in our bathrooms. It took us awhile to make our decision {here is why we chose this vanity top}; but — after living with it for a year — are we glad we chose marble? ** Amazon affiliate links included in this post. Let’s …

Mike and my 4 year old were out of town this past weekend; so the baby girl and I spent the weekend shopping and decorating {ok, maybe she was just my cheerleader}. When we lived in Lexington, I loved to visit Repurposed Soul’s sales. It is a bit of a drive now; but it was …

If you feel “stumped” when it comes to decorating a space in your home, turn to the camera.     The space that I’ve been mulling over {and over and over} is the bedding in our master bedroom. Yes — that nightstand still needs new pulls 🙂 Our headboard was a steal several years back …

Erica and I don’t talk much about our day jobs; but Erica manages employer relations for a university and I work as an engineer. Unfortunately crafting, decorating and shopping don’t provide us a living {wouldn’t that be fun, though? When I grow up I want to be a professional shopper, ha!!}. Through the university where Erica works, …

Last summer, we bought a marble vanity top for our upstairs bathroom. Since marble comes in a slab, we went ahead and replaced the vanity in our main level bath, too. It was cheaper to do both at the same time than it would have been to replace them separately. Even though the marble vanity …

Summer Break is almost 1/3 of the way over — what?! June went by so quickly. We’d like to start giving away some fun prints each month; and this will be the first set. The winner will receive 3 8x10s from our Etsy Shop. We’ll have them professionally printed and shipped. Star Spangled Banner and …

Sometimes, DIY is all about solving problems. Our mailbox sits right at the top of a hill, after a curve. We’ve lived here a little over a year, and it has already been hit once.         Amazon Affiliate links included in this post. After it got hit, we invested in a sturdier …

There is this cute little show called Creative Galaxy available through Amazon Prime and it has gotten my 4-year-old son so excited about crafts. The show follows a little alien, named Arty, as he solves problems with arts and crafts. It’s like a DIY mom’s dream, right?! Anyway — one of my favorite projects {inspired …

Our front door has been feeling a little naked since Christmas. I only have one spring/summer wreath and its color palette isn’t great for our new house {yes, we’ve lived here over a year… when should I stop calling it ‘new’?}. Covering a letter with moss isn’t a new idea and you can find plenty …

A colorful, painted dresser makeover with Arles Yellow. Plus, a review of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint from a first-time user of chalk paint. My brother and his wife got Mike and I this small dresser about 6 years ago for Christmas. I have always loved the shape and size of this dresser. The curves make …

So, let’s talk about our ceiling light. It’s a sputnik style light, with a more affordable price tag. If you’ve ever shopped for “Sputnik” chandeliers before, you know that they aren’t cheap. They typically start in the $300 range and run well over $1000 depending on the size. However, there are some more affordable options …
