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…
The Before… You might be asking, ‘a master bedroom makeover? Already’? Didn’t you just move into the House house like a year ago? Well, yes we did. However, I never liked how the master bedroom looked, specifically the paint color. The tone of the blue was just ‘off’ somehow. I usually LOVE blue and our dining room, living room and office are blue, but there was just something about this blue…
It’s been 2 weeks since hurricane Irma hit Florida and things are starting to get back to ‘normal’ around here. Everyone has their own hurricane story to share, so I thought I’d share ours. Growing up in Massachusetts I went through many blizzards, nor’ easters and even a few hurricanes, Gloria and Andrew. Both were Category 1 or 2 I think, at least where I was living at the time.…
Here is a recap of our trip to Wine Country! A good friend was turning 40 and she is a big wine drinker. I mean, she loves the stuff (and so do I) as you can see from this wine cork project and this wine bottle one too. So what better place to celebrate a big birthday then California wine country? I had been to Napa before, twice. Once when…
June 1, 2017….I can’t believe today is the last day of school for my boys. Onto 3rd and 5th grade! WHAT? How did that happen? This year sure flew by. Last day of school means a neighborhood party with bouncy water slides, pizza, swimming, and the kids running wild. And later the annual last day of school beach party that we’ve been going to since my oldest was in kindergarten.…
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.…
A recap of our first year in the House house… To all my mamma readers out there, I truly hope you had great Mother’s Days! Mine was great. I got some nice gifts from my husband and kids, including a coupon book from my 10 year old for free hugs and other cute things, and my husband made breakfast (which hardly EVER happens). My mother lives close by and my…
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…
