Make Your Own DIY Scandinavian Wreath

So, if you haven’t noticed yet, Scandinavian Wreaths are one of my go-to favorite things to decorate with. After living in Germany, I fell in love with the look of these Scandinavian styled wreaths. They are so simple, yet at the same time so beautiful and add so much to a space. I just can’t get enough of them. Not only do I love using them for all my decorative needs, I really love making them as well. I recently used one in our $50 Mantle Makeover post. I have another one coming in my next house makeover and I just finished one off this weekend for a Master-bedroom Makeover. These are a great craft all year long, not just for Christmas!

You can have one too…so simple to make all yourself!!

DIY Flocked Christmas Tree

Flocking is all the rage right now and I have a feeling it isn’t going away anytime soon…

Tree flocking became popular in the late 1950s and 1960s, along with aluminum trees and other glitzy, non natural-looking decor of the post-war boom. General Mills marketed Sno-Flok home kits, which were applied using a gun that attached to a vacuum cleaner. Umm…Can I still get one of those? Now, those flocked trees are coming back with a vengeance and you don’t have to just buy them in the stores, you can make them yourselves.

DIY Coffee Mug Holder

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I have an addiction to collecting Starbucks mugs!!! I really do realize I have a situation happening with my Starbucks mug collection, but I just can’t help myself. Pretty soon I will need to have a room like in the White House called the “Mug Room.”

$50 Mantle Makeover

I keep getting lots of requests to come to peoples homes and decorate for them. This week, I decided to bombard my sweet and amazing friend/neighbor Tori’s house. Ready or Not…here I come! Tori has an amazing house with so much potential and like most stories I hear she doesn’t have the time or vision to start the decorating process. Decorating the whole house is very overwhelming. I totally get that!

DIY Shiplap Wall – Quick, Easy & Cheap

As first time homeowners, I was so excited to get into this house and really make it my own. It had lots of potential but, required some much needed love!!! In our previous houses, which were normally base housing for the Army, the only thing I could do to make it my own was to paint. Sometimes, I would paint every single wall in the house and others I would pick accent walls to do. All those white walls, would make me crazy. Funny because now in my own home I keep painting everything Bright White!

Welcome!!!
