DIY project ideas for home decor, upcycling, repurposing and home improvement on a budget.
See how I created something from nothing with this free basket makeover! A few weeks ago my daughter and I had an afternoon to ourselves. All the boys in our lives were out of town. Sweet girl time. We made our way through a few thrift shops and got one item I was particularly proud…
Not long ago my girl and I had some time to thrift, just the two of us. It was a fun afternoon. I unearthed some wooden salad bowls destined for a makeover! We stopped by one of my regular hot spots where we acquired 5 wooden salad bowls. Two large serving bowls and three little…
Vacation memories can make gorgeous décor, this driftwood tablescape is a summer vacation memory… An easy summer tablescape that anyone can make is what we’re talking about today. Not much else signals summer than the beach. Any body of water really – lake, pool or river. It’s time to take a dip and escape the…
Shutter To Do List a great kitchen command center to keep your family organized When I saw these mini shutters at a garage sale for $5 I couldn’t pass them up. I had no plan but tucked them away in mind, knowing a project would surface. With the school year approaching I established a personal…
Recycled Mailbox Sorter Updated with Hardware My back to school organizing mode has kicked into full swing though! So much to do…school supplies, clothes, event and activity planning. I have a few projects I will be sharing over the coming weeks to help you get organized, of course in a junky fun way. This mailbox…
I have been sitting on this project a while. It was stirring in the back of my head for a long time and Father’s Day pushed the idea out to fruition. I wanted some dates on display. Not just any dates, but the most important dates that have happened in my life. I had some old…
DIY Brooch Bracelet I can remember a brief stint in the late 80’s/early 90’s when I wore a brooch on a scarf. It seems like the same time twistbeads were in style. Did you have those? The necklace where you would twist together a few ropes of beads held together with a fancy clamp. My…
Rag Garland on the cutest Laundry Room Drying Rack It wasn’t a matter of if but more like when. My first “hater” heckle. Anytime you put yourself out there – your thoughts, ideas, projects and opinions – others will have an opinion of you. I knew it was coming. I have to admit I was…
We are all jumpin for joy over here for summertime. The list of goodness is so yummy and fun: A good book to read. Baseball. Sand between your toes. Cold lemonade gulped down in silly straws. Cut off jean shorts. A warm towel to dry off after a cool swim. Road trips. Especially road trips…
Dear Pinterest, Oh Pinterest, how I love you. With the click of a mouse I have millions of other’s creativity at my fingertips. Ideas that never crossed my mind. Some ideas that have, but I’m clueless on how to execute. I love scouring my feed for solutions to my decorating nightmares, inspiration when my mind…
Today we have a guest written post! I couldn’t be happier to introduce y’all to my new friend Melanie. She hails from Tennessee, she is funny, wise and loves the Lord. We were fast friends!

DIY Necktie Art As I sit and write this I am looking out over a calm, gently lapping lake. The breeze is cool and the air is filled with what seems like a hundred different songs. Its morning and the birds are busy. This peaceful setting is a gift from one of my precious friends….
Learn how to make beautiful salt shaker tassels using collected salt shakers. Being on the hunt for antiques or junk is always more fun when you collect something or are searching for a particular item. One thing my mom and I have kept our eyes peeled for over the years is salt and pepper shakers. It…
Making our home comfortable for every one in my family is a major goal of mine. I strongly believe everyone should have a space that invites them, makes them feel connected and is totally their own. A safe haven at the end of the day. The kids seem to get their own space with ease….
Do your kids ever inspire you? There are times when I am just blown away by my children’s view on a situation or themselves. They have such precious, innocent, unpolluted thoughts. It is a marvel and really makes the childlike faith talked about in Mark 10:15 understandable. My daughter ran for student council at the…
