After collecting jars for the “Cute as a Button” baby shower I threw, I wasn’t sure if I needed to keep them… and then I saw this from Chica and Joe {via Google Image search}. Looks like I have an easy Halloween project ahead of me. So cute!

My first ever Facebook Marketplace purchase – a total success. I bought this adorable little rocking chair for poor little Owen who has no toys anywhere and hardly gets a lick of attention {Opposite day}. Since Owen thinks he’s a big boy who can hold his own bottle and thinks he can do a better [...]

I received some questions about my “entertainment center”. I have no idea why these seem to be so expensive, and often, so ugly. I had the hardest time finding something I liked, so I just used a dresser. I bought this dresser for $35 at a garage sale a few years back{thanks Clare!} and painted [...]

I didn’t think I could show my face until I had finished them. Why did it take so long? A combination of a four-month-old who just beat colic, and this chair not being the easiest to reupholster. But check out these beauties… I’m in love! Hilarious how so many of us have these chairs. One [...]

I live in an itty-bitty condo, and this is my patio: I don’t have anything on my patio currently except for ongoing projects. I’d love to have some furniture out there now that the warm weather is upon us, but I don’t want to spend the money on it right now. Well, it doesn’t hurt [...]

Do you have a boring kitchen too? My kitchen is pretty, the appliances are nice, the finishes are new, but it’s just not me.

I always reuse things I’ve collected for parties – sometimes to use at another party, sometimes to use in my home. I was able to do both with these. I used these jars at a baby shower I threw: And put them on the shelves in my bedroom: Remember: Don’t buy these if you don’t [...]

…And you thought I’d be bored on my Maternity Leave… This dresser was a wedding present from my mom, and we’ve had it for over 7 years. I love this dresser. I even loved it white but it was getting pretty dirty after so many moves. Here are the highlights: The dresser was almost raw [...]

Were there more important things to do today? Probably. {1 12″ square scrapbook paper, cut in half, and double stick tape per drawer. I’ve had some of these scrap pieces of paper for over two years, and now they are living out their dreams hiding my art supplies and tools.}

I’m at the point where I’m deep cleaning every room in my home {and you thought I’d be bored on maternity leave…}. Call it “nesting” or call it “we’ve been so busy with life and work that our house turned into a pig sty,” but I am getting to the bottom of it. I LOVE [...]
