04.19.2013

I have a bit of an obsession with Duck Tape® right now. Well, more specifically, my daughter has an obsession with Duck Tape® right now. That girl has some pretty mad skills when it comes to creating things with this stuff, and we had some fun making things together the other day! Duck Tape® brand is running a Stuck at Prom® contest [...]

Pottery Barn Outlet Shopping

04.06.2013

My spring break is on its last leg (sigh), so I went home for a couple of days to spend some quality time with my mom. Of course, that quality time almost always involves some shopping. She lives a few minutes away from a Pottery Barn outlet (lucky duck), so we knew that had to be our main stop. I lu-huve it when bloggers go shopping and take me along for the virtual ride. How ’bout I do the same for you? They’re all cellphone pics, so bear with me. Read more… vanity

Chalkboard walls are quite the rage, and I can see why. They’re inexpensive, easy, and give a space some creativity. There are a few things, however, that should be done in order to properly paint a chalkboard wall. In order for it to last, it needs more than a coat of paint. So let’s go [...]

Organized Garage Shelves {Lowes Creator}

03.31.2013

This month’s Lowes Creator challenge was a no-brainer. I don’t have much of a pantry, so a while ago I decided to utilize our garage for some extra storage. Unfortunately, Michigan winters get pretty bitter, and we end up throwing stuff on the shelf in order to get back inside. The weather is starting to break, so the chaos needed to be tackled.

How to Paint Furniture {Update}

03.28.2013

Today is my first day of spring break, so I’m taking some time to catch up on some things. One of my most popular posts is how I paint furniture, and I’m afraid the paint I love, adore, and swear by no longer exists. Essentially, it’s being weeded out. The “replacement” paint is similar, but [...]

Easter Bunny Craft

03.24.2013

Well, after showing off a bunch of Easter decorations that I like, I figure I should probably make my own. I wouldn’t necessarily call your local news station over it, but it was a quick afternoon project that I’m quite happy with! Read more…

Simple Easter

03.23.2013

Posting on a Saturday? Call me crazy. Or just call me really busy through the week. Easter is quickly approaching (which means spring break for me!!), and I will say that it’s probably the most difficult holiday for me decor-wise. It means four things–bunnies, eggs, flowers, and baskets. All of which can border on frilly or downright obnoxious if not done well. So how does one decorate for Easter without it looking like an Easter bunny vomited everywhere? Here are some ideas. (Click on pictures for links.) Read more…

How to Organize a Closet

03.19.2013

Clever title, no? I promised you this post a few weeks ago, and time got away from me. Obviously, anytime you organize a space, it’s going to be an individual experience. My belongings won’t necessarily be the same as your belongings, ya know? So this is just a “general advice” post for you to show [...]

It’s been a little quiet this week, but I assure you I’ve been busy. Without being too dramatic, if I told you all the things I’ve done in the past week, it would make your head explode. Wait–I think that was too dramatic. Needless to say, it’s been overwhelming. Tomorrow, however, is the day. THEE day that I’ve been waiting 20 years for is here. Read more… Homegoods opening
