DIY Chalkboard Placemats Hi dear friends! Today I have a fun fall tour for you…complete with mantels, wreaths, tablescapes, free printables and porches! It rolls out all week. Not to mention my DIY chalkboard placemats. When I was young teachers would send kids outside to bang chalkboard erasers as a form of punishment. I never really got how…
Old silver flatware storage boxes show up at garage sales and flea markets all the time. They can be made over for a ton of different uses…remote control storage, catch-all box, craft supplies, the list could go on. Today I am flipping one of the flatware boxes into a cozy hot chocolate station! Joining me are…
I love Fall. Everything about it. The warm colors, the crisp air. All the smells. Pumpkins. I mean really, it’s my jam. This Fall wreath is a non technical, no expertise needed decoration that anyone can do! I’m sharing it today in hope that it will beckon a cool breeze to blow into Texas. A girl…
This Tic Tac Toe game made out of a butcher block is a fun and easy weekend project. This little darling started in the same manner as most things around here do… Me at an Estate Sale. Eyeballing something I don’t need and have no use for. But it’s $1 and I can’t pass it up. My mom asks,…
It’s hard to admit, but 40 did a number on my eyes. My whole life I’m the girl you wanted to have with you when hunting…for deer or treasures. But 40. Now “cheaters” help blurry words come to life on the page. Having a need for cheaters brings on a whole other problem….being able to…
The heat of summer is in full swing at our house! Having the kids home all the time has really pushed me to tackle some organizing projects. There is stuff everywhere 24/7. This DIY baseball bat rack has been a great solution for our sporting goods arsenal. When we bought our house it needed MAJOR…

It felt like I drove past it 50 times. This blue Adirondack chair buried under boxes on the curb waiting for bulk trash day. It was between our house and the baseball park where all three of my kids had practices and games, so you know we were really burning up the road between the…
Farmhouse Storage, a toolbox makeover that is simple for storage solution for guys! Maybe it’s the throws of summer that have me trying to organize anything I can to balance the complete lack of schedule we currently have. I’m not sure, but I am sure that with three little ones home all day stuff is…
When you walk through my house I doubt you would describe it as coastal décor. Traditionally speaking it’s not. But the real story behind my home’s color palette is 100% coastal. You might just say a little birdie told me which direction to take! Next week I will share ALL my home’s paint colors and more…
create a gorgeous mercury glass diy from grocery store finds. It’s summer and that puts a little crunch on the mom schedule. I like to change out décor and work on projects but with three pair of feet scurrying around it gets tough to find the time. So today I am so excited to join…
Today I’m sprucing up a wooden serving tray I got for a dollar at a local flea market. I’ve been eyeing all the gorgeous furniture I’ve been seeing gussied up with napkin print. Have you seen some? It looks as if some amazingly talented artist hand painted a beautiful pattern that has aged and worn…
I came across this dirty old lamp shade at a garage sale the other day. It set me back $1. Admittedly, I had no idea what I was going to do with it when I bought it, but it had good bones that spoke to me. Good bones really are the key to seeing diamonds…
Summer is a fun and cheery time to be outside doing outside things! I wanted to incorporate the outside into a fun patriotic DIY project that anyone could do for fun 4th of July decor This month my Junk Visionary friends are all bringing you a fresh new patriotic project to enjoy. My husband and…
I couldn’t leave our little lady out of the picket fence crafting craze happening at our house! Our greyhound Gigi needed a little piece of the picket action so I hooked her up this week! You guys might be getting tired of this pile of old fence pickets I inherited, but they are a constant…
