I want to share with you how to easily stencil a pillow cover. If you had a chance to see yesterday’s post, you’ve already seen the canvas drop cloth we dyed to look like washed linen. I stenciled them last week so I could use them in the breakfast nook. Here’s a look at how you can stencil your own pillow covers too…
Last year, we dyed a large canvas drop cloth to use as a base for the stenciled curtains in our dining room. Those curtains have been one of our favorite DIYs and we still have them hanging in our dining room today. I recently dyed a few canvas panels we had left over from the bedroom makeover so I thought would share with you how we got the look of washed linen. It’s a look we plan to repeat in the other parts of the house too. Here’s a peek at how to dye canvas drop cloths…
A few weeks ago, I found a pair of large botanical prints for $7.99 each while I was out thrifting with my mom. I finally settled on using them in the dining room when I heard, “You’re not going to put another hole in the wall, are you?” Here’s a look at how we hung these large botanical prints in the dining room without putting a single nail hole in the wall…
Have you ever been so excited about a project you head full speed into every detail and diy? But then you lose a little steam and that last five percent of the makeover lingers unfinished for weeks or maybe even months? Me too! I’m hoping we can help each other change that this summer. Here’s a peek at the last 5 percent we’ll be working on….
Summer is a great time for hosting overnight guests because the days are longer and the pace is slower which makes it so much easier to linger over a fabulous meal, relax near the water or curl up with a good book without any agenda at all. Here are 8 simple ways to prepare for summer houseguests…
A few weeks ago, we spent the day giving my mom a surprise adventure. I knew we were going to have a great time but I was pleasantly surprised about the decorating lessons we learned from an old fort built in 1864 and how many of the design elements we continue to use today. Keep reading to see how many you use in your home…
I almost skipped today’s Messy House Tour post. To be perfectly honest, I feel like we are still playing catch up from the One Room Challenge master bedroom reveal. Of all the posts to cut this week, it seemed like this one would be the easiest one to cut. But then my mom sent me the quote of the day by Paulo Coelho that read…”One day or day one. You decide,” and it kinda rocked my world.
From start to finish we completed the One Room Challenge in six weeks. Those weeks were filled with everything from ripping out the carpet and stenciling the floors to adding architectural elements with board and batten to shopping estate sales and thrift stores to pull together accessories and finishing details. As with any makeover, there are so many factors that went into completing these projects, so, I thought I would give you a peek into our shopping sources and budget breakdown…
Do you ever think about creating a “dream space” in your home? Me too. Over the past six weeks, I’ve looked at these old images of the master bedroom probably a hundred times. Tomorrow is the big reveal day and I couldn’t be more excited to show you guys how things have come together. But I also don’t want you to forget where we came from either…
This week…you guys…what a week! I don’t really even have the words to adequately convey what this week has been like because it’s been THAT all over the place. There have been so many changes to our original plan. Here’s a look at our One Room Challenge progress for week two…
About this time last year, we embarked on a diy and decorating adventure called the One Room Challenge. It was so much work and yet so much fun turning my office from an outdated space into the beautiful and functional office of my dreams. So it’s in this same spirit we’ve decided to participate in the One Room Challenge again this year by making over a space that is WAY overdue, the master bedroom. Here’s a peek at our plans…
If you had a chance to read our post about the Spring Porch Tour on Tuesday you know it’s beginning to feel like spring around here. Just inside the front door is our entry that opens up to the dining room, so today, I thought I would share how we added a bit of spring to the entry too.
