LITTLE GIRL’S ROOM REVEAL
When we moved in almost 6 years ago, we used this room as our bedroom, then I painted it grey and it was our guest room for just over three years. When Elly moved out of the nursery, I moved her in to this room. I liked the grey, but after painting the trim white…

GLIDER MAKEOVER
My parents bought me this glider when I was pregnant with Jackson and I love it. I spent many late nights and long hours feeding babies in that chair. I wanted to update it a bit when I made over Elly’s room. I thought about reupholstering it because I have seen a lot of examples…

Even though there is still snow on the ground, I decided to put up my spring wreath yesterday. I mean, it was the first day of spring so I wasn’t too far off the mark. I wish it looked a bit more like spring outside… but at least my front door looks spring like 🙂…

DECORATING EGGS
This year, the kids and I decided to decorate our eggs using Kool-Aid. We mixed a packet of Kool-Aid with 2/3 cup water. After the eggs were colored, I spray painted them with a little bit of gold spray paint. I also stamped a few. For some eggs in our living room, I used the…

SPRAY PAINTED MUG
The other day when I was making hot cocoa, I thought that my little mugs could use some sprucing up. So I cleaned and dried off the mug, put some tape on, protected the top part of the mug by taping on some newspaper and then sprayed it with some gold spray paint. Super easy…
