Decoupaging faux Easter eggs with napkins is easy right? Think again. It's harder than it seems. Here's my experience and what I did instead to get beautifully decorated eggs without the mess. So I really don't do that much decorating for Easter. I try to put something pretty on my front door and pepper a few bunnies about, but other than that, eh, I usually don't get around to it.
Decorate your home for spring with this super easy Easter Garland using old yarn and envelopes. Holiday banners are a fun way to add a festive touch and they don't have to cost a lot. It's official. I have become a banner junkie. It all started last February when I whipped up a Valentine Love Garland from leftover puzzle pieces. It was so pretty and looked so great in my kitchen that when I took it down, it felt like something was missing.
Learn how to cover glass cabinet doors with fabric with this easy tutorial. It'a super simple DIY and can be changed out easily and often! This is my office space. The area was created using the same cabinets and formica chosen for the attached kitchen . While it's great for continuity, it's not so great when trying to create a cozy farmhouse cottage nook to work in. Stock pieces and laminate countertops do not scream country charm. What's a girl to do?
Stove top mac and cheese made with white or yellow cheddar is a staple around here. It's a family favorite dinner or side dish and a quick and easy recipe. I'm not a fancy cook. I can cook, it's just not something I enjoy. If I'm in the kitchen, I'd much rather be crafting than chopping or mixing. When it comes to prep and taste, I like simple, basic and easy. So you can bet if I share a recipe, it's going to be quick one. Traditional, family friendly. And easy to whip up.
Last week in the middle of cleaning up the mess left behind from a leaky roof and tending to a sick child, I let an important day go by without any fanfare at all. You see March 5th, 2013 was the day I hit publish on my first post . I honestly had no idea what I was doing when I decided to start blogging. I knew I wanted to take up writing again. I knew I needed a creative outlet. What I didn't know was anything about blogging or what I was going to share.
15 Basement Makeover Ideas Last fall, my husband and I finally got around to updating our super kid friendly (um...messy) basement. We picked up a few items at the thrift store, I added several creative DIYs and poof, our mismatched space became a cohesive and cozy grown up room that we all love.
This is the lovely view outside my kitchen window today. It's been snowing here, again, for about seven hours and is supposed to continue for seven more. We're expecting a total of about eight inches; it will sit lightly upon the rock hard foot of ice and snow that already exists and has been part of my landscape for the past two months. I've been watching it fall all day.
This is my kitchen. It was not part of our original cottage, we added it in 2003 right after we purchased the house. The entire space is an addition , so there was a lot to consider before we started the renovation.
