Lora recently posted about using stickers and a canvas to make wall art. While Lora took an existing piece of art and used it as the base of her project, I decided to start with a blank white 12 x 12 canvas (like this one here). This book is special to me as my high …
Crafts for the Home
My little boy (he mostly just supervised) and I did a little craft project the other night while Mike was out for the evening. I was inspired by this song from Gungor, which we sang in church Sunday morning: “You make beautiful things You make beautiful things out of the dust You make beautiful things …
Lately, I’ve found myself pinning images with these Black Marquee Letters. Such a cool, graphic way to label the In & Out baskets in an office. If you haven’t seen this little Black & White Office from Thistlewood FarmsIt is lovely – and she lives in Kentucky – so that makes her that much more …
While shopping at a Flea Market here in Lexington (the same day I found my Botanical Chart print), I came across this cool stone mold of Kentucky. In case you’re questioning your geography skills (or mine) — yes, the state is backwards — because it is a mold. It cost me $9 which is more …
While searching for items to use in our Anthro Love series, Lora sent me these napkins to check out! I love polka dots and bright colors so this was the perfect combination! To re-create these, I started with a 4-pack of bright colored napkins from Target’s Room Essential’s brand. To create the gold polka dot …
I think these colorful bud vases from Anthropologie are so fresh and sweet for spring. While completing the YHL Macklemore Challenge with Erica, I came across this flower pin. It immediately reminded me of those cute Anthro bud vases. So I added a colorful vase to my shopping list, and found it in the same …
I love chalkboards so naturally these adorable chalkboard jars at Anthropologie caught my eye. I’ve been working on my office area recently and I thought these jars would be great to hold paper clips and other small office supplies. You could definitely also use these in the kitchen for spices or in kids rooms to …
Mike & I are working on a project for our Entry that has been in the back of our minds for a long time, and I can’t wait to show it you. (UPDATE: Go here to see how we used the Animal Push Pins) However, for now, I’ll just share these fun little animal push …
I love wall art but so often it is out of my budget. While browsing Anthropologie, I came across this fun one of a kind drawing. I loved how colorful it was but the $600 price tag was definitely not an option. Recently, I decided to pull out my old pastels and canvases and make …
Erica spotted this Soapstone Globe on Anthroplogie, and she sent me the link right away. I love anything globe or map related, and already have a small globe collection in our living room. However, the price tag on Anthro’s version comes in at $368 – yikes. If I was going to own this globe, it …
I am really loving the gold trend lately and have been trying to find subtle ways to add gold touches to my bedroom. I love polka dots so naturally, these Dotted Zinnia Knobs from Anthropologie caught my eye. Instead of paying $8 per knob, I decided I would make my own. I actually found all the items …
I picked up these two pillows (shown below) awhile back. Some of you are probably thinking “ick.” They are definitely vintage. And not good mid-century modern vintage or industrial vintage — just old, ugly, vintage. But, I liked something about them. So I came home from thrifting with two small, vintage, not-so-pretty pillows. I thought …
So I have a confession… I love coffee! Actually, Lora and I both love coffee and when we get together it’s pretty much guaranteed that a Starbucks run will be made. I decided to save some Starbucks bottles and paint them. To achieve this look, simply clean out the bottle, pour in paint in a …

Supplies 1 Picture Frame (any size) 1 Can of spray paint (any color) Wooden decoration(s) or any other decoration of your choice …
