  • PALLET CHRISTMAS CARD/ PHOTO HOLDER

    PALLET CHRISTMAS CARD/ PHOTO HOLDER

    I love getting Christmas cards and displaying them, but I never really had a place to put them. So I decided to grab a pallet from my usual place (the dumpster area at a cement plant-they always have really old looking pallets and are totally fine with me taking them).  I used a crowbar to…

  • UPGRADING CLOTHING WITH PATCHES

    UPGRADING CLOTHING WITH PATCHES

    I love going through my closet, finding clothes that I don’t wear for some reason or another, and then upgrading them a little so that I will wear them. And lately I have been adding patches to just about everything. It’s such a simple upgrade, but can totally transform a piece of clothing. In the…

  • TUTORIAL :: DISTRESSED VINYL DECAL BOARD

    TUTORIAL :: DISTRESSED VINYL DECAL BOARD

    Like I mentioned yesterday, Icon Wall Stickers sent me some vinyl to work with. I had a hard time deciding what to pick because there were so many different things I could have done with a vinyl sticker, but I chose this one. I picked size XS and in gold. I wanted to mount it…

  • UP CYCLED TEE TUTORIAL

    UP CYCLED TEE TUTORIAL

    My husband has a bunch of these white t-shirts that he never wears… and I am always looking for long t-shirts… so I decided to steal one of them and up cycle it. As I was trying to decide what to write on it I thought of a Portuguese phrase “tudo bem” which means “it’s…

  • DIY MOROCCAN POUF

    DIY MOROCCAN POUF

    Moroccan poufs are every where these days, you may have seen them here or here. I think they are such a fun accent for a room. I would buy one for every room in my house if I could… but I can’t because they are SO expensive, like $150+. I have thought about splurging on…

  • LEGGINGS WEEK: REHABBING OLD LEGGINGS

    LEGGINGS WEEK: REHABBING OLD LEGGINGS

    I bought these leggings for my two-year-old and then literally the first time she wore them she stained the knees. I didn’t notice until AFTER they went through the washer and dryer. I was bummed, if they were old clothes I would have just cut the loses but because these were new I wanted to…

  • SCREENED PORCH REVEAL

    SCREENED PORCH REVEAL

    During the summer we spend so much time on our porch. We eat dinner here every night. It’s probably my favorite place in our house. I love to watch storms while sitting on the porch. But because it is outside, every spring when I go to clean the porch, it looks pretty beat up from…

  • MASON JAR WALL VASES

    MASON JAR WALL VASES

    I love having plants and flowers in a room, but with kids it’s sometimes hard to have them on tables or the floor. Adding these wall mounted flower vases is a great way to add flowers to a room and decorate a wall. These are similar to my diy chore chart I made. To make:…

  • PAINT STICK SUNBURST CLOCK

    PAINT STICK SUNBURST CLOCK

    I needed to put a clock up in my screened in porch and I had all of those leftover paint sticks, so I thought I would put them to use. I have seen sunburst clocks and mirrors like this and think they are so cute and so much better than just putting a plain old…
