Today I want to share the easy tutorial for one of the projects that you saw in my Halloween Home Tour last Friday - my modern peek-a-boo Jack O'Lantern pumpkins! If you've been out shopping recently, you've probably noticed that these craft carving pumpkins are sold just about everywhere - from your local craft stores, to Home Depot, to Walmart - but the prices vary widely. I originally looked at some white craft pumpkins at Michaels and Hobby Lobby, but I just couldn't justify the $25+ ... View the Post

DIY Map Ornaments
I love to travel and I have a bit of an obsession with maps! Years ago I came across a set of gold landmark ornaments that I just couldn't pass up, and I decided then and there that one day I would have a travel-themed Christmas tree. I began looking for a Christmas ornament to bring home as a souvenir from each country we visit. And I also thought it would be really fun idea make a set of DIY map ornaments to commemorate each of our travel destinations. I considered a lot of different ... View the Post

Closet Doors & Paint – One Room Challenge: Week 4
The floor drama that I told you about last week took some extra time and slowed us down a bit, but we quickly got back on track and checked two more big items off of the home office to-do list. As a reminder- here's where we left off last week... When we first moved into our house, the home office (which is actually just a basement bedroom) had bypass / sliding closet doors. Here's a picture from move-in day back in 2008 when the room was still empty. In the fall of 2019, when I was ... View the Post

{five minute friday} Extra! Extra! Greeting Cards
Before I had kids, when a friend had a birthday or a baby, I would stop and pick up a card on my way home from work, or I'd quickly run into the store for a card on my way to a birthday party or wedding. But after kids - well, there is no such thing as a quick stop at a store, nor is there any extra time on the way to an event... so now I have to plan ahead. Planning ahead means that I've started to stock up on greeting cards, picking up a few cute ones here and there when I'm at Target, or ... View the Post

{organizing with style} Pantry Door Bulletin Board
For years I've been in need of a bulletin board - a place to keep important papers, cards and invitations, and all those adorable baby announcements. I knew I wanted this bulletin board to be in my kitchen - somewhere that I would see it daily, and I finally found the perfect spot - the back of my pantry door! I love to use the inside of doors to maximize my storage space, and I considered a lot of other ways that I could utilize the pantry door to add more food storage. However, because ... View the Post
