How to update an old piece of furniture without a ton of prep work!

Let’s be brutally honest here for a second, shall we?? I love DIY projects….but I can’t stand sanding! I will do anything to avoid sanding, and many a time, I have paid the price for skimping on this step. So when I found a paint that doesn’t require a ton of prep, you can bet I needed to give it a try! This paint is the perfect way to update a piece of furniture that is in need of a face-lift without the time commitment required by most other paints! Craft room work area I am all about functionality over the actual size of a house.

How to make a DIY chalkboard for under $10

I love chalkboards and the variety of uses they have! From providing a place to hang your kiddo’s artwork, hanging those holiday cards or creating a responsibility chart for your kids….they are a do it all item! We have been working on creating an under the stairs playhouse for our kids over the last year. Finally, we have reached the point that we are getting to decorate it with them. Apparently, we aren’t moving fast enough, because I went in the other day to hang up these awesome globe lights, and found that my four-year-old had turned the walls and ceiling into her canvas. There were marker drawings everywhere. She said it was too “boring” in there and so she “decorated” it. So I decided it was time to get something in there for them to draw on and decorate, rather than the walls 🙂 You can buy a chalkboard…

How to make DIY floating bathroom shelves

Our home Hey friends! As some of you know, we moved into our first home a couple years ago. We LOVE this house. I know many people get excited about getting a bigger house, and with that, larger square footage. For us, it’s less about the size, and more about the space. We were looking for a home that had rooms that fit our needs; and we found it through the help of a friend! The couple we bought the home from, we’ve since become friends with. They had done a fairly extensive renovation previously. So the home was already updated and extremely well taken care of. Because of that, we get to take on the fun projects to make it “ours”. So far we are having a ton of fun with that! Whether to my hubby’s excitement or dismay ( I’m not always sure ;), the “hubby-do-list” is always…

DIY wall decor: ceramic wall vases with succulents

Have you ever noticed the common factor in the Pinterest photos that have magazine worthy rooms? They all have a similar element that you may not notice at first glance. But with certainty, if it was missing, the photo would not have the same impact on you. Hello greenery. They all have some sort of plant in every room. Ok, so now that I’ve told you….go take a look and see for yourself. I know you are curious :)But here is thing. For those of you that have a green thumb, I envy you. I wish my house could be full of live plants. Unfortunately, I am one of those people that can’t seem to keep plants alive. I have two fiddle leaf fig trees that I absolutely fell in love with from my favorite show ever, Fixer Upper. Of course…. I had to have one and so my husband…

If you are looking for a quick and easy DIY project with your kids, a fun gift, or a way to spruce up your magnetic board….then then you need to give these magnets a try! A project that can be whipped out quickly is always a win in my book. Growing up with a mom that was a kindergarten teacher….and a great one may I add….we had an entire closet dedicated to art supplies and crafts. This small closet was set up with a kids table and little chairs pushed up against the back wall. The entire wall above the table held shelves full of endless craft possibilities and every possible craft supply you could imagine. Underneath that very bottom shelf was a light so those nights we couldn’t sleep, we could get up and get busy in that closet. On the inside of the closet door hung a shoe…
