Last week I received an email from a reader named Jess which sent me on a mission to create a budget friendly cleaning caddy. Can you guys believe it’s already time to start thinking about spring cleaning? I know some of you are rolling your eyes right now thinking, “I’ll get right on that CoCo…
As you guys know our calendars have been packed with birthday parties lately. No playing from November 10 to February 25 we’ve celebrated 4 major holidays, 9 birthdays and 1 anniversary. Despite the endless travel, take out on the road and rushing to pick up gifts in between projects it is a blessing to have such a big family and so many reasons to celebrate. Here’s a look at a few fun things we found around the web this week…
If you’ve been following for any length of time you already know I’m all about telling the people you share your world with what you like, love or appreciate about them every day. I was scrambling to find some preprinted thank you cards at home recently when I finally just decided to make my own. They’re super simple to make and Busy Girl approved. Here’s a look at how you can make your own set of personalized stationery too…
If you had a chance to read yesterday’s post you’ve already seen the leather pulls we used on the boho chic inspired media cabinet for Hawk’s Ridge. I also knew we could make our own using basic items from our local craft supply store in an effort to a little bit of money for other projects we’re working on. Here’s a look at how we created DIY Leather Pulls and how you can too…
For the past few weeks we’ve been looking for a media cabinet for Hawk’s Ridge, a new project I’m working on. I was wondering if we were ever going to find anything when we started cleaning out our home office and I realized we were sitting on the perfect piece already. The only problem was the cottage style office console looked nothing like what we’d envisioned for Hawk’s Ridge – not even close. This makeover is one of the biggest transformations we’ve ever completed. Here’s a look at how we turned a cottage style office console into a boho chic media cabinet…
Since 2014 there has been one room in the house that I’ve always longed to have a second chance at decorating. At the time we didn’t really understand our home’s style nor did we have a lot of extra money so I thrifted all the accessories and used the furniture we had on hand to makeover the office. Thankfully, the time has come to bring this dated space up to our current style. Here’s a peek at our home office makeover plans…
You guys how has your week been? Good, I hope. I’ve been working on plans for 3 spaces a master bedroom, living room and our office makeover which has been exciting. Thankfully, I’m feeling much better and have even started painting a few pieces of furniture. Here are a few fun things I found around the web this week…
In December of 2015, I had had it. I was fairly tidy in all areas of my home with the exception of one space…my closet. I was basically dressing out of a laundry basket every single day because I hated putting my clothes away THAT much. It’s been a year since I started using the KonMari Method of Decluttering. Here’s a peek at how my closet looks today…
Happy Valentine’s Day, you guys! I must admit I struggled a bit in trying to decide what to write for today’s post. I didn’t want it to be too mushy, you know? Love is showing up at some of the most unexpected places and I’m more determined than ever not to miss the moment…even when they seem really scary.
Well, Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and if you find yourself scrambling to come up with something at the last minute and you’re on a budget, I have an idea for you. Here’s a look at how you can create a time capsule of memorable moments and make a traveling journal too…
Happy Friday, you guys! How has your week been? Are you celebrating Valentine’s Day early this weekend or are you waiting until Tuesday the 14th? We’re currently out of town celebrating another milestone birthday. We’ll be traveling with 3 dogs which is always fun (wink, wink). Here are a few fun things I found around the web this week…
In early January, my bestie S babysat my little dogs so I could be out of town. My oldest dog struggles with canine dementia and can be a lot of extra work. Thankfully, S was up for the challenge so I wanted to make her something special as part of a thank you gift.
