  • THRIFT STORE CHANDELIER MAKEOVER

    THRIFT STORE CHANDELIER MAKEOVER

    As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I was on the hunt for a chandelier from a thrift store. I knew exactly what I wanted and was so happy when I found it for only $10! The Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore is a great place to find old home fixtures- that is my go to…

  • POM POM GARLAND

    POM POM GARLAND

    After I finished the living room, I moved to Elly’s room. Today I want to share the first of a couple projects I did in her room. I just love these little pom pom garlands. When I repainted her room, I decided to make some garland to add some bright colors. They are so easy…

    LIVING ROOM REVEAL

    Ok, finally I am ready to post my living room reveal… it seems there is always a little something I am tweaking or changing. And even after I have finished the room, we still plan to refinish the hardwoods a darker color in a few weeks and I also plan to move that brown furniture…

  • MIRROR MAKEOVER

    MIRROR MAKEOVER

    While making over my living room, I decided to update my mirror. This mirror was one of the first things my husband and I bought when we were living in an apartment almost 7 years ago. It is sometimes hard to find big mirrors that aren’t super expensive, so I knew I was going to…

    {DIY} MOSS SPHERE TOPIARY

    I love these little moss topiaries because you get a bit of nature inside your house without having to worry about things like watering. You can buy the moss balls at most craft stores, but it can be a little less expensive to make them yourself. For these particular moss topiaries, I bought and spray…

    A BIT OF SPRING/EASTER DECOR

    I recently changed up my decor in my dining room to make it a little more spring like. I was loving the pink/yellow/green color combo. I bought two bunches of dried craspedia flowers from here. That’s a lot of flowers so I have them basically everywhere in my house 🙂 {I displayed our decorated eggs on…

    thrifted picture frame to chalkboard

    In my living room, I had an empty little wall and decided I wanted to add a chalkboard of some sorts. I have some gold accents in the room and thought that a gold framed chalkboard would be perfect. So I hit the thrift stores. I like to shop at thrift stores when I find…

  • diy floating shelves

    diy floating shelves

    When we switched out our brown doors for our new six panel white doors, we saved some of the old ones so that we could use them for shelves. They were perfect for turning into floating shelves. I actually did none of the work… my husband made these for me 🙂 I love all of…

  • pallet wall art

    pallet wall art

    Recently, (meaning about two months ago) I transformed my living room. It was painted when we first moved in which was 5 1/2 years ago. I was 9 months pregnant so we wanted to get some paint up on the walls before the baby and extended family came. So my husband spent 24 hours painting…
