Pant Hangers to Display Kids’ Art

Today marks the conclusion of Boy Mom Madness, so it seems fitting that my Five Minute Friday project should also be for the boys. Beckett goes to preschool two days a week, and they do an art project every day. That's a lot of fabulous three-year old art that comes into our house! Right now I am keeping all of it in a bin, and I have ideas in mind for how I'll decide what the keep, and how to document it without saving every piece of paper. But those are stories for other days. Today, I'm ... View the Post

Dual Home Office Design Plan – One Room Challenge: Week 1

Well, hello! It's been a minute since I've posted anything here on the blog! The last project I posted was our basement bathroom makeover at the end of 2021, and, well... that was the last project we finished around the house. But that's about to change! You might remember that I've been talking for years about redoing our home office to make it a functional space for Scott and me to share. And it's FINALLY happening! Where have we been? After about a decade of non-stop home projects, ... View the Post

Easy DIY Party Backdrops

We held Beckett's Sesame Street themed birthday party at our local rec center rather than at our house, which was great for hosting a large group of toddlers, but it also meant that we had only a limited amount of time to set up. As a result, I needed to keep the decorations simple. As you saw in yesterday's post with all the party details, the decorations were limited to the brightly colored table cloths, the Sesame Street inspired "street" signs on the craft and food tables, and the two DIY ...

DIY Belted Lampshade

After having so much fun drawing inspiration from menswear when decorating Beckett's new "big boy" bedroom, from the argyle wall and the houndstooth rug, to the neckties on the play tent and the belt wall shelves and drawer pulls, I hit a road block when it came to the lampshade. I thought about covering a shade with a suiting fabric - like pinstripes or herringbone, but I was afraid a pattern would be too busy when with paired with all of the various art above the dresser.  I finally ...
