As mentioned last week, I am finally getting our bedroom decorated. I am so ready to wrap up this room, figure out a few more details in Paul's office area and call this house done – just in time to move again in ten months. 😉 I'll share the whole room early next month (when…

My June goals list wants me to accomplish three "just for fun" projects. This is the first. I saw this awesome DIY taped table from ladycroissant.com on Thursday and couldn't stop thinking about it. Literally, in Vegas, I was thinking about that table. On Sunday, I went to Target because rumor has it they have…

My original plan for "glass" was two painted mugs. I painted them, waited the 21 days for the glass paint I bought to cure, and then realized that ceramic didn't technically count as glass. But turns out it didn't matter because the paint still came off after their first run in the dishwasher. DIY project…

As mentioned in my Project Life update post this week, alllll the cards I sent to Paul while he was deployed in Afghanistan for nearly seven months, finally arrived back at home. It's a terribly long story about why they took so long, but the point is the post office came through and they are…

It broke into eight pieces on the drive back home. But a little hot glue and a few yards of fishing line later, it's hanging above my mantle. Check plus.

I got my wreath completed. Making a driftwood wreath to hang above the fireplace has been my goal since that first week in the new place when I found a handful of driftwood. Originally, I intended to make it more "wreath like" but lots of pinterest searching and an un-official poll on instagram helped me…

I finished. And it's safe to say, this is one of my top five favorite projects ever. (Also in the top five : the headboard & the giant song lyric canvas – surprisingly, both are also black and white.) But really, I love it. I love that the idea came from something similar but different.…

I may or may not have done a happy dance yesterday while taking pictures of this project. This is PROJECT TWENTY THREE. And I have absolute set in stone plans for the last three projects. Which means… I AM GOING TO FINISH. It was a huge deal for me to get these 26 projects completed.…
