Have a bookshelf that time & time again has stumped you? You’ve tried books but they were…well, boring. Then you did that weird elephant statue & that was just weird, let’s be honest. Fake plants, dumb. Real plants, dead. How about this… It only took me, gosh, maybe two trips to the thrift shop to [...]

Do you remember, ohh several months ago, when I posted this inspiration sketch for Sam’s bedroom makeover? Well I can’t believe it but the whole room is finally done!! It’s not exactly how I started out envisioning it but over time it’s gradually evolved into something even better. My main goal was to give Sam [...]

First the frame was sitting around empty, then the chair was half painted in the garage, the buffet sat with no hardware…it’s been a work in progress to say the least.

Then I thought, hm, what would be an unconventional way of using tie-dye? [...]

I’ve been seeing colored mats allover the home decor blogs lately & I just love them. Since I’m trying to gradually change the color scheme of my livingroom I thought this would be a great place to start. I used mats that were already in my frames & cheapie crafts paints that I mixed until [...]

Awhile ago I read this post on Lil Blue Boo where Ashley gave a guide on how to get your pre-schooler to create some fabulous art. Not only were her tips great but she really inspired me to not be intimidated by the possible/probable mess of paint & just let Sam go for it! As [...]
