The last few days have been unseasonably cool here in the Northeast. We actually noticed some leaves starting to turn this weekend. Way too soon if you ask me. But since Mother Nature has never given my opinions much weight, I went with the flow and started changing out some of the brighter colors on the porch this weekend for some warmer tones. One of my
Patchwork Pillow and Dressing Up an Ikea Vase
As a lifestyle/diy blogger, I love it when I can share large projects like my craft room makeover or AirStone kitchen island update, but truth be told, I love it even more when I can do small, super quick projects like sewing up a few pillows or adding some interest to an otherwise boring vase. Last week I headed up to the cabin on Tuesday
Some More Lillian August Love!
I’ve had these pictures for months now, but never got around to showing you, but while at Haven and sitting around at lunch, the question came up that is near and dear to any woman who loves to shop (which pretty much is about 90% of us). The question was ‘if you had to shop at one store and one store only for your home,
My Haven Conference Update
As I write this, I’m envisioning 300 other women just like me trying to put into words the experience that is Haven. How does one do justice to an event that brought together so many talented, creative and giving women in one place? Like most stories, it’s best to start at the beginning. I arrived at Haven on Thursday, along with my newly painted toes
How To Make An Artisanal Bowl Using Mod Podge
Can I brag just a little bit? I think this bowl looks good enough for a designer’s studio. And it’s not hard to do. In fact, it’s a fun process and definitely something anyone can pull off. Here’s a couple of pictures of the paper I choose. The first one I used to cut out the shapes. I have a lot left over since I
My Latest Goodwill Find
Hey there! Wanna see my latest deals? Here you go. A rustic piece perfect for the cabin that I got at Goodwill for $5.00. The Goodwill nearest our home is not known for their great prices. In fact, you can get things cheaper at Hobby Lobby than most of the things there, and in fact I did that last week, but I thought this particular piece
My $3.00 Hobby Lobby Artwork!
I’ve been pretty lucky lately when it comes to finding some good deals. The one thing I wasn’t so lucky about was remembering to bring my USB cable for the camera so I could show you what they are! I remembered everything else, but I think the cable is attached to the computer tower at home. That’s ok, because I think this one tops them
A Sneak Peek At The Porch
Last week I showed you what our screened-in porch looked like. I had ordered a slipcover and a rug, and I was thrilled they both arrived in just a couple of days so we were able to bring them up to the cabin this past weekend. Here’s a quick look at the porch, and I have to say I really, really like the rug! I’m
Painting the Porch Floor Red!
I forgot painting with red was so challenging. I covered up the Pepto Bismol pink primer with a true red color this past weekend, and realized red is very unforgiving. I ended up needing to paint two coats, which was a huge pain because it was super humid so everything took at least 12 hours to dry. I didn’t have enough paint to give the
Our Bubble Gum Pink Porch
Have you ever had plans to change something in your home that was pretty simple, like maybe a new lamp, and before you knew it that new lamp just didn’t look right with the old stuff and you just had to get a new table, a new rug and maybe a new sofa too? Yeah, me too. Here’s the porch before getting started. Several years
