DIY Modern Barn Door

posted on : March 13, 2019 2 Comments

Today I’m going to share with you my DIY Barn Door for under $75! If you have been following along you would know that I am trying to redo my whole house, one room at a time. This door is the final thing to finish off my sitting-room. When we moved in the door going into the basement opened into our main living space. Originally, I took the doors off the hinges for the movers on our moving day because it kept getting in the way. Once it was off, I knew it was never going back on. A Barn Door would be the best option for that space. I kept looking at them and all I could see was dollar signs, which don’t really bother me, but they sure do bother my hubby…hehe! A DIY Barn Door seemed like the obvious choice!

Hello Spring – DIY Porch Sign

posted on : March 7, 2019 0 Comment

It is hard to tell from the weather lately, at least where I am, but Spring is just around the corner. Really, it is, I promise…the flowers and trees will be blooming and we all will be sneezing and swatting away the bugs in no time. That means it is time to get the house ready for the Spring season. The easiest place for me to start is with the porch. This year I was thinking of adding a standing sign for something a little bit different. I always see the signs in the stores and think so cute…I could make that…so why not try it out and see if I really can make it??

posted on : February 27, 2019 0 Comment

Life changing topics on our blog today…Pillow Talk…LOL! So if you haven’t figured it out by now…I am obsessed with pillows and adding them to all decor spaces. If you were to ask me what you could do to update your space quickly and cheaply, my first response would always be pillows. Well maybe, pillows and paint…but that’s a whole other blog post 😉

Do you walk into HomeGoods and see the 500 pillows and just run scared from the sight? So overwhelmed you don’t even have the slightest idea where to start. You think…ugh I’ll just keep those pillows the couch came with, they don’t look that bad. Stop Running!!! Seriously, these comfy little guys can really make or break your space and could be that key element you have been looking for to transform that space that is just ehhh to AMAZING!

You might be running, but I am rubbing my head all over those 500 pillows…talk about bringing Joy, that’s what pillows do for me!! So I thought I would share a few simple tips for how to choose and arrange your throw pillows. Fabric is key, but so is size and arrangement.

DIY Unicorn Valentine Card

posted on : February 8, 2019 0 Comment

Well, it is that time of year again ♥ Valentine’s Day ♥. It always creeps up on me and I am running to the store at the last minute looking for those little cards to send into the classroom and all that is left is organic healthy snacks or fun dip. So, I end up on Pinterest frantically trying to find something easy but cute to make. This year is a little bittersweet for me. It is my last classroom Valentine’s day party. My youngest will be in middle school next year and it is just not cool anymore to give cards, I guess. According to my daughter she will just have a real Valentine next year…Yikes!!!
