Guest Bedroom Frame Wall

A couple of months ago I posted before and after pictures of my guest bedroom. Though I'm happy with the main wall, the other side of the room is a bit boring. So now, my after picture becomes my before picture. . I wanted to make a frame wall, so I started collecting frames. Really random ones. .  . Then, while shopping at HomeGoods, I found these place mats. They're felt-ish and I started thinking about all the things I could do with them and my random frames.  . I didn't …

$100 Porch Project: And Then There Were Three

I now have three out of the four chairs for the porch project. This one so far has been the cheapest at....wait for it...$2! I found it at a garage sale - it was super wobbly so I asked the lady if she would take less. Much to my delight she told me I could just have it. Sweet! Here it is...it's red. For those of you that don't know, I do not like red when it comes to decor. There are pretty much no exceptions to that rule. The wobble was easily fixed with some wood glue and a screw, and …

cloth diaper review

Cloth Diapers Explained

I've had quite a few questions about my sons cloth diapers, so I figured I'd just write a post about it. I'm no cloth diaper expert, but after 17 months I've found what works, what doesn't, what I would recommend and what you should definitely NOT buy. So here we go! . When I first heard of cloth diapering I was like "people still do that?" It seemed outdated, nasty and troublesome. But it also sounded cheap....so I started to do more research. Let me tell you...there are about a million …

Dumpster Rocker

So, my aunt rescued this old rocking chair from a dumpster. She said she found a toddler rocker and asked if I wanted it. I of course said yes....who turns down a free dumpster rocker? Anyway, when I got it I noticed that it not really toddler sized, it's way too big. It's not really adult sized either though, its pretty small. It's like a 3/4 sized rocker. We're kinda small people though, so I decided to make it a front porch rocker. As soon as my husband saw it sitting on the front porch he …

How To Make an Envelope Closure Pillow

I'm not great at sewing. In fact, I pretty much stick to sewing square things like pillows, curtains, book slings, tablecloths, and handkerchiefs. Okay, not handkerchiefs (do people actually use those anymore?), but you get the picture.  Luckily sewing an envelope closure pillow is super simple and a great place to start if you're new to sewing. So here is the process... First pick your fabric. This is the best part! Don't be afraid to go with something bold, its just a throw pillow …

Quick Chair Redo

So, I found this chair at Target on clearence for $8....marked down from $40. $40!! It doesn't exactly match what we got going on 'round here, but for eight bucks I figured I'd take it home and make it a front porch chair. Of course, I couldn't leave it as is though - its light wood and chrome and way too modern. While I can't chage the modern part, I can certainy change the rest! I picked one of my rejected paint samples from the kitchen cabinets and got to work. I removed the legs and …

picture frame made out of broken blinds

Broken Blinds Picture Frame

So back when the little man was a couple months old, I got a friend to take some pictures of him. He was being super fussy that day (of course), and it was hard to get any pictures of him NOT grimacing. But then, by total fluke, we managed to capture the most epic baby picture of all time... Epic, I know.  So of course I had to order a giant print. The problem was, I didn't want to pay for a giant frame...giant frames are expensive. It sat round for awhile and I forgot about it while we …

Dead Tree + Fake Flower Awesomeness

. Pottery Barn had some beautiful blooming branches in their spring catalog. I love how they look, but dang...they're expensive! If I lived somewhere else I could have gone outside, snipped some perfect branches, thrown them in a vase and called it a day, but I live in south Texas and where trees consist mostly of scraggly cedar bushes. While looking online for a cheaper version if the PB branches, an idea started to form. I planted a live oak in the backyard a little while back and it totally …

If You Give a Girl New Appliances, She’s Going to Want a Kitchen Renovation…

This Mothers Day I told my husband exactly what I wanted.... a dishwasher. It wasn't a suggestion, I was going to get my dishwasher. New, used, whatever...as long as it worked. We have been married seven years and have never had a (working) dishwasher. He (gasp!) said I could get a new one, a stainless steel one to match the future other appliances we wanted. . So I started my research...consumer reports, checking websites for reviews, scouring the web for the cheapest price. We don't take …
