Rubber Ducky...You're the one
 

  • Rubber Ducky...You're the one

  • 9 months ago
  • It's the first love song I knew the words to:) You can't help but smile when you hear it (or sing it!). Ever since the bathroom got a new mirror I've wanted to add something to the wall behind it. I wanted something subtle because the room is quite long and narrow and I still want your eye to travel to the window, not freeze on a large picture or colourful piece of art. I also wanted s[...]
Living Room Feature Wall
 

  • Living Room Feature Wall

  • Remember my Jazzleberry Jam Pink living room? Well...it finally got a feature wall. When the room got painted, I whipped some photos and art up on the walls, knowing regardless of how much thought I put into it I would change it anyway. I'm quirky like that. So a few weekends ago everything came off the walls, the holes got filled, sanded, and re-painted. I had a blank (hot pink) slate. [...]

  • Easy Holiday Pillows: Up-cycling old sweaters

  • 11 months ago
  • I made some fun (and very easy!) holiday decor pillows last week...and even though they are a Christmas gift for someone special (Dad - don't spill the beans!) I just had to share them. If you're still hunting for a great gift, these took about 30 minutes each to make (once you had all your supplies) and are so unique! I had four old pillows, which I used as the stuffing. A trip to Va[...]

  • Mona Lisa #Selfie {an art project}

  • 11 months ago
  • I just finished a super fun (and easy art project) for a friend and I am hesitant to let it go, I love it so much! A few weeks ago while out to lunch with my friend Isabelle, she asked me if I was up for a project. Naturally, my answer was YES!! When Isabelle bought her house, she found this Mona Lisa print in her basement. When I started to pull apart the frame, matting, and print, I discove[...]
Christmas around the house
 

  • Christmas around the house

  • The Christmas decorations are up! We go to cut down our tree this coming weekend. Can't wait! I'll be sure to share a picture once it's done:) I ended up changing around the mantle as a result of the newly painted living room. With the bold wall, it need to be simpler. The Nutcrackers moved to the hall table beside the gold tree, and I love them there. And...when the first of December[...]

  • Jazzleberry Jam Living Room!

  • Remember when I said I was thinking of painting our living room Jazzleberry Jam pink? well...I DID IT! It's pretty fabulous. And by pretty fabulous, I mean it's SUPER pretty and SUPER fabulous:) ! To appreciate the fabulousness, here is the boring 'sell my house beige' living room before.... ...and then the fun began:) I put the furniture back the way it was, but took the oppor[...]
DIY Christmas...part 1
 

  • DIY Christmas...part 1

  • 1 year ago
  • I've mentioned before that a little inspiration and a sunshine-y day (perfect for working outside) are all I need to get a fun DIY project done. This weekend that inspiration came in the form of an old window, some spray paint, and gingerbread latte. Remember the window I mentioned in my Para Paints #ParaBlogCrew application? Well, it and some old nutcrackers I got at a garage sale a few years[...]
Project Chandelier
 

  • Project Chandelier

  • 1 year ago
  • Our guest room is lovely. But as I mentioned in my PARA Paints #ParaBlogCrew application video, the one thing our guest room lacked was attractive lighting. My mom gave us this chandelier, which came out of her former dressing room before a renovation, but I never really loved the brushed nickel. So I pulled out a can of gold spray paint and got to work:) I swapped out the old tube thi[...]
