October 9, 2013 So, I decided to paint a pillow. How does this go along with My Moving Challenge? ? Well, I’m tying it in by explaining how important it is to use what you have…by moving things around the house. You see, this was formerly an outdoor pillow. Even more perfect for a little […]

Bead Board Tutorial {Guest Post!}
September 5, 2013 Funny story…I pinned this adorable sign the other day and thought to myself, I need to make this for so and so….then, I was walking down the hall at school and one of my friends, also named Amber, said, “Hey! You pinned something I pinned….I made it!” What!?!? So cool! So, here […]
We Painted the Porch!
August 26, 2013 We painted the porch!!! This weekend we did some major updates to the outside of the house. I have been waiting years to do this! First, I painted the shutters black and we could have stopped there because it seriously made a humongous difference! Fortunately, we’d already bought the porch paint and […]
Free Idea for Saturday!

DIY Chevron Tray
March 26, 2013 Have I mentioned I love unfinished pieces I find at Michael’s? I found this tray for $4.99 and knew it would be perfect for Kuy’s big boy bed. At first, I destroyed it painted it light gray and the center orange. Obviously, I had no vision for what I wanted it to […]
Painted Pink Tile
March 21, 2013 When we first moved in our home, we had high hopes of truly demolishing this pink/peach/whatever color you’d like to call it and brown bathroom. However, other things came up, as you well know, and budgets became tighter. So we kept the brown sticky tile (I’m sure there is a real name […]
Striped Frames
March 20, 2013 After months of debating…here goes! My very first post! There will be lots of mistakes along the way but I have to at least start somewhere, don’t you think? This is one of the easiest projects I have done and yet, I love the impact it had on Kuy’s Big Boy room! […]
