Do you have any Holiday Decoration Traditions? Do you have any special traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation, or maybe some new ones you’ve started with your own family? One of the holiday decorating traditions I remember as a kid was going as a family to pick out a real tree and then decorating it all together. I’ve continued this tradition with my own family.…
Welcome to the September DIY Challenge, hosted by Terrie at Decorate and More with Tip. (You can see my past DIY Challenges here.) This month we were challenged to create a DIY using a canvas. If you are coming over from Patina and Paint, welcome! Wasn’t her project so good? She is so creative! Make sure you check out the links to the rest of the ladies in this challenge…
Changing up this old table with some paint and adding a map… This console table is pretty old. It used to have a TV on top of it for years, until we moved into the House house and started using it as an actual console table. Except, it didn’t match anything once I painted all our other old dark wood furniture. So, guess what I did? Yup, I painted it.…
Check out what our neighbors did with another neighbors old playhouse they were giving away. Y’all know I love a good makeover and upcycling story as I’ve done of lot of makoever-ing and upcycling myself. As much as I’d love to be able to throw away all my old furniture and get all new stuff, it isn’t happening at the House house, at least not right now. So since we’ve moved…
Kitchen Makeover…. My friend (Jamie) redesigned her kitchen and it is so gorgeous I just had to share it with y’all.

As I’ve mentioned before, most of the homes in this neighborhood were built in the 80’s and many have not been updated ever, or for a very long time. Jamie is in the design business…
A weekend DIY project… I posted these refinished bar stools on social media and people seemed to like them, so I thought I’d put together a short tutorial on how I refinished them. This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience (which means if you make a purchase after clicking a link I will earn a small commission which helps keep my blog up and running but it won’t…
What to do with all your saved wine corks… Are you a wine drinker like me? Do you save all your corks like me too? Then they sit there in a vase or jar or something forever and you think, what the heck am I gonna do with all these, but you can’t seem to throw them all away? Sound familiar? Well, I finally decided to do something with all…
balls… hehehe, it’s just one of those words that makes you laugh. Like the Schweddy balls skit on Saturday Night Live. If you have never seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it. It’s hilarious! So when I made these giant DIY Christmas balls for the huge tree in our front yard (and had a total Pinterest fail) there were a lot of jokes and laughs had by all. …
