DIY project ideas for home decor, upcycling, repurposing and home improvement on a budget.
You guys know I love all things old. But sometimes you have to make due and buy something new and make it look old. Like these new crates I bought and transformed them into old looking wall storage. Plus I’m going to show you how to hang crates on the wall. Thanks to Vintage Sign…
All these years and I have never shared the kid’s playhouse with you guys. When we moved into our home four and a half years ago the space in our yard felt daunting and HUGE. Our home sits on almost 1.5 acres of what was once a weedy mess. Ideas and dreams kept me up…
I get the most questions about painting furniture. It seems daunting, but once you know a few tricks you can tackle some projects yourself without fear. I’ve shared how to make your own chalky paint, how to spray paint and even a tool that helps with all of these. Now I am showing you how…
I’m a messy painter. It’s a fact. It doesn’t mean I’m a bad painter, I just get it everywhere. My artist friend says that’s a sign of creative people. I’m sticking with her theory 🙂 I got a new toy that has helped me wrangle in splatters and spills, over-spray and oops moments and it…
How to Drill a Pocket Hole Our family loves to play games. Now that my youngest is old enough to join in we often sit around the big table in our living room and play various board games. The problem is we never really have enough seating around the coffee table that is close enough…

I sat in the middle of the church and stared at the rows of heads lining the pews in front of me. Over and over I felt this strange but simple message. Your presence is enough. We were gathered to celebrate the life of my best friend’s dad. He had suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. His death was literally…
Stencils kind of remind me of grapes circling a kitchen. You know the popular 80’s/90’s dĂ©cor that ultimately gave stencils a semi-bad wrap? Luckily stencils are back in a big way because they allow you to make some easy dĂ©cor updates like the farmhouse touch I am sharing today! They’ve come along way since the…
We all get in a rut sometimes and our prayer life is no different. Set on auto pilot we spew out a standard prayer and if you’re anything like me sometimes it gets to be like I’m talking to a genie in a bottle. Throwing out requests and wishes like pennies down a wishing well. Friends, that’s no…
A relaxing bath is one of life’s most glorious treasures. Adding a bath tray with a book rest makes it even better. Making your own bath caddy is one of the easiest and least expensive luxuries you can do for yourself. Seriously ladies – this is a must do weekend project! I have seen a…
Spring Mantel with DIY DĂ©cor Spheres Today I am sharing my Spring mantel with a DIY decorative ball tutorial. It’s been in the 70’s here in Texas though and all the plants are confused and blooming, it’s a crazy mess of early Spring like weather so I am rolling with it! Who knows, it may…
Decorating between Christmas and Spring is a tough one. Today I’m sharing an easy rustic winter tablescape that we’ve had up since New Year’s. I have to confess that when I post on the blog I REALLY hope that y’all are going to LOVE everything I put into the blogosphere, but even if you hate this idea…
This picket fence serving tray has been designed in my mind for a while now. I told you guys it has been pretty quiet around our house the last month or so, but this is one of the very few projects I worked on and I LOVE it! Hopefully you will too! As you know I am…
It’s always fun to take a look back over the past year to see what you’ve accomplished. The blog is a lot like a digital scrapbook for me, recording project, events and thoughts. I often say it is my accountability source…it makes me get to all the projects floating in my head, work through my…
