A few weeks ago I shared with you how I had completely blown it as far as taking care of our yard/property/whatever you want to call it over the Summer. At that time, I started a system of 15 minute daily yard work sessions, hoping to be a little more disciplined in getting things taken […]
Papered and Painted DIY Flooring
Today, I’m going to take you back to Kennedy’s room and her closet that we’ve been pluggin’ away at since last Summer. Like Summer 2011. I know, it’s just a closet. When I last took you through this closet, I told you I’d be back in a few months to work on it a bit […]
A Real Life Scary Story
Well, since Halloween is fast approaching, I thought now might be good time to share a little story about our house with you. Who doesn’t love a good scary story around this time of year? Once upon a time, back in 1900 when our house was built, it was just a little farmhouse out in […]
DIY Monogram Tissue Box Cover
This is one of those things that is totally unnecessary, but it’s an idea I just couldn’t get out of my brain, so I did it. I saw these monogrammed tissue box covers at Pottery Barn, probably last year sometime, and something about them just made me happy. This is my own version, made for […]
Hooks for the Hallway
I just love a darkened house some days when I want things to seem extra quiet. So does my camera apparently. Or at least it did the other day when I was trying to get these photos of my new giant cast iron hooks. This is the way I like this front hall we’ve been […]
Decorating with saws?
We have a whole collection of old saws in our garage. Actually we had more last year, but I think Chris may have “de-cluttered” some of them. I’ve been eyeing them up for the last year, secretly thinking I could steal them and use them inside in some kind of rustic, tool-inspired decorating extravaganza. Never […]
White Painted Pumpkins and Milk Glass
Today I’m sharing something sweet, simple, and pretty with you, that I put together last week and that I’m just really enjoying. All it is: Painted dollar store pumpkins and some milk glass I found at the thrift store the other day. I learned a couple of things here: 1) Open your eyes and pay […]
What the front of our house really looks like
Hi everyone! We’re just winding down around here from a crazy Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend. It was perfect, but now I’m exhausted. That’s how these things work! I just had to pop in here for a minute though and show you these few pictures I took a couple of days ago. A few days (or […]
Pumpkin Pie Spice Salt Dough Ornaments
This is another craft I did with Kennedy last week when her school was closed for a teacher development day. I’ve actually tried different versions of this idea a few times, but they’ve never worked. Not this time though, this one actually works! We started out with a basic air-dry clay recipe. I used a […]
3 Minute DIY Spoon Art
I’ve had quite a few comments lately about my spoons that I have in my dining room. The ones that can be found right here: People seem to like them. They think they look fancy and cool. So I thought I’d show you how I whipped this one up a few years ago. It started […]
