Making a home simply beautiful on a budget.
I really could use some sunshine and sand right now. And a fruity drink with a little paper umbrella would be quite nice, too. All I could think about while making this driftwood heart was how much I look forward to going to the beach with my family this summer. Since summer is 146 days away (yes, I’m counting), this little piece of coastal-inspired art will have to suffice. I fell in love with this
One of my resolutions for 2013 is to have my hallway project complete. I’ll give more details later, but I will give you a hint and tell you that I will be busy putting up wainscoting. I can hardly wait to see the end result! Part of my plans to makeover the hallway will be tackling the disorganized mess that lurks behind the hallway closet doors. We have four closets in our hallway, but the
So, I was all gung-ho about starting my Organization Revolution project in the kitchen this week. I got to the very end where I needed to print my labels and my plan came to a screeching halt. As luck would have it, my printer stopped working. Organization-for-under-my-kitchen-sink…mission accomplished. Blog post with pretty pictures…mission failed. Instead, I’m moving on to plan B and sharing a tutorial I did as a guest for Traci at Beneath My
I have a love/hate relationship with organization. I hate the process of getting there, but I love the challenge of finding solutions to problems. After seeing that Taylor’s Vintage Industrial Bedroom Reveal made it into my top posts of 2012, I realized that I never went into detail on how I organized Taylor’s closet-in-a-office. To bring you back to how it all began, here is the closet before it’s vintage industrial makeover. It’s been almost
In August of 2012, I decided to follow my dream of starting a home improvement and decor blog so I could share all the projects {and sometimes project-mishaps} that happen while the boys are in school and I am not working the night shift. I’m enjoying every minute of it and I’m looking forward to the new year sharing even more projects with all of you! I’m so happy that you all are following along
{Low-Carb Brunch} Sun-dried Tomato, Spinach & Mushroom Baked Frittata Print Recipe type: Brunch Cuisine: Italian Author: Tricia @ Simplicity In The South Serves: 8 This recipe is a family favorite that is perfect for brunch, but we usually end up having it for dinner at least twice a month. It can be prepared the night before and then put in the oven the next day. This recipe is the vegetarian version, but can easily be
For Parker and Mason’s teachers, I wanted to give them something handmade that they could use all year. The writing is done with a white marker, so it resembles the look of chalk but stays put when the chalkboard is wiped off. The supplies I used were a clipboard, painter’s tape, flat black spray paint, Recollections broad tip opaque marker in Snow White from Micheal’s, #320 fine grit sandpaper, and a piece of chalk. I
As promised, I’m sharing how I made the painted pine cone garland that I showed you in my Simple Christmas Vignette post.
With Christmas only 11 days away, any decorating project from here on out must have the following criteria: minimal effort, time and expense.
The only supplies you need are pine cones, spray primer, spray paint, jute twine and hot glue.
Thanks to everyone who has left sweet comments on the framed Christmas ornament wreath that I posted last Sunday! It has been my favorite holiday project thus far. I’m a doing a guest post for Traci at Beneath My Heart today!!! {Can you tell by my the extra exclamation points that I’m a little excited? I promise I’ll try to control my punctuation marks from now on.} I never realized how much the blogging community
If there were such thing as the Glue Gun Police, I’d be an outlaw and my boys would be my partners in crime. My name would be Bonnie, and I would be packing a glue gun. And if you were to see the monstrosity of hot glue on the back of my wreath, I’d be fined for overzealous use of a craft product. Nothing comes between a crafty girl and her glue gun…except for thin
