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 …

Burlap Ornaments Check out the pictures below to see how we made these ornaments: Materials Ball …
While browsing through Anthropologie, I discovered some cute holiday decorations. I really liked this one (shown below) but felt that $10 for a simple vase filled with glitter was more than I wanted to pay. I then decided that this was a simple product that could easily be made into a cheap DIY project. Below are …
In my home I don’t have a fireplace or traditional mantel area to decorate for different seasons/holidays. As a substitute, I use a tall cabinet in my kitchen since it is an area that you notice when first walking into my home. Prior to changing it for the upcoming holidays this area included a homemade …
One of my goals this holiday season was to create a meaningful Advent Calendar to complete as a family. As a child, I received a special ornament each year for Christmas, and Mike and I have continued that tradition with our little boy. So, I loved the idea of opening one ornament each day to …
