Before and After: Cane Chairs

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 [...]

BHG Crafts

I miss my Better Homes & Gardens magazine subscription. I don’t have time for extra crafts right now (and I’m *this* close to finishing my chair but haven’t been able to work it in yet), but I’m sharing projects from the bhg.com website that I love: Silk Scarf Room Divider Fabric-Covered Organizers Magnetic Memo Board [...]

Immortalized T-Shirt

I cut up my t-shirt and framed it. It was a cozy t-shirt and I loved the print, but was a tad short {and more like a straight jacket now that I’m “with child”}. Now I can see it everyday instead of hiding it in a closet. Oh, and hey, freed up another hanger for [...]

For craft night with my friends last night, we made these magnet boards from the brilliant Crafty Nest {instead of the LoRan magnet board, I bought 8″x12″ steel roofing shingles from Lowes and cut them with tin snips}. We thought it would be fun to swap out the fabric with the seasons. My spray paint [...]
