When we started planning our bathroom renovation it was a goal to reuse a few pieces. This included updating our mirror and painting the frame white {you can see that in the mood board}. However, after the room started coming together and I saw this photo, I decided to go with a wood tone. …

We had several goals when we started working on the bathroom renovation… increase from one to two sinks, get rid of the wallpaper and replace the peeling linoleum floors… to name a few. However, there is another goal that is always on my “to do” list and that is to increase storage. In the end, …
How was your weekend? I love the small projects Erica shares each Friday and this weekend project was just like many of those… simple, colorful and a great use of items I had on hand. If you’ve been around for awhile you know that Mike and I are in the middle of renovating our bathroom. …
You might remember this photo from an update on our bathroom renovation. The large hole is an old medicine cabinet {I’m guessing} and the torn-up walls are due to the glue that was on the back of the large vanity mirror. The other 3 walls were in much better shape, but still needed plenty of …
After completing my DIY runner, I decided to try some of the fishing line on another rug project. It might not be easy to see, but the rug was unraveling in several spots. This wasn’t an expensive rug originally, maybe $10. It was purchased at Home Goods and sat under a chair in the sunroom …
Rugs can be so expensive! Last month I shared with you the first phase in setting up our new home office; a coat of paint for the desks and an organized workspace. The tiled floor can be chilly on our feet, so we placed a couple of mis-matched rugs at each worktable. My hope was …

Well we moved into our new home 4 days before Christmas and there are still plenty of boxes around the house, but we’ve started working on our first makeover. Since we’ve challenged ourselves {and you!} to an Organizing Challenge, this project is what I’m working on for the Kitchen and Pantry week. I don’t have …
After making a clay chalkboard several weeks ago, I had some leftover Sculpey Clay. This box of clay has gone a long way — I’ve completed four different projects and I still have some clay left. One of the tough things about moving is trying to figure out how to organize everything in a new …
I’m so excited to share today’s project! I’ve mentioned before in previous posts about my love for polka dots, especially gold ones (see here, here, and….here!) and I also recently shared that I am inspired by Kate Spade’s colors and patterns. Kate Spade has many products that use gold polka dots in the print, like phone case, watch, …
You should be singing the title of this blog post to the tune of Five Golden Rings from the “12 Days of Christmas.” Several years ago {yes, years} I bought some unfinished wooden ducks at a craft store {Michael’s… I think…}. I loved their shape and thought I might paint them white at the time. …
