{diy with style} Let There be Porch Light
When it comes to our home, I obviously like to make things pretty, but two of our top priorities are always safety and cost-savings. Until recently, however, our front porch was a major fail in both of these areas! We are fortunate to have a small covered porch that shields our front door from the crazy Colorado weather, but the two outdoor lights on the front of the house (to either side of the porch) didn't provide any light near the front door. As a result, our porch was very dark at ... View the Post
Front Porch Halloween Decorations
The boys are four and five now, and if I could freeze time, I would. These are such fun ages, and I love how excited they get about everything - especially each holiday! For weeks, they've been begging me to decorate for Halloween. We always have quite a bit of holiday decor inside, but this year they also requested front porch Halloween decorations as well. Last year, I decorated the porch with some fun Dia de Los Muertos finds, but the boys really wanted a traditional Halloween porch ... View the Post
DIY Numbered Storage Bins
Beckett is two and a half, and it is such a wonderful age! He is so curious and eager to learn new things, and he asks the best questions! He can sing the alphabet and counts really well, but he doesn't yet recognize all of the letters and numbers, so it was important to me, in planning the design for his new room, to find a way to incorporate the alphabet and numbers to help him learn. To stay true to the vintage vibe of the room, I created typewriter key alphabet flashcards that hang above the ... View the Post
The Best Craft Projects of 2017 from More Than 30 Bloggers
Yesterday I looked back at my Top 5 Decorating and DIY projects of 2017, and today I'm talking crafts! It should probably come as no surprise that my most popular crafty project of the year also involves organizing (you guys love organizing as much as I do). Or maybe it made the top of the list because it's an IKEA hack... everyone loves those, too! I turned a raw wood MOPPE mini-chest of drawers into a stylish cord and charger organizer for my kitchen counter with some paint, stain, and ... View the Post

Color-Dipped Letter Ornaments + More DIY Christmas Ornaments
Am I the only one who feels like unpacking the Christmas decorations is almost as good as opening presents on Christmas morning? It makes me so excited for all of the joy and magic of the season ahead! Maybe it's a sign that I have to many decorations, but each year I unpack a few decorations that I've completely forgotten about from the year before, and this time around one of those pleasant surprises was the set of color-dipped letter ornaments that I DIY'd for the skinny tree in our living ...

Christmas Photo Booth Props Made with Cricut
Playing dress up is one of my boys favorite ways to spend an afternoon - whether it's a super hero costume, a fireman coat and hat, or an animal mask and tail, it makes them giggle and they beg me to take photos. So for the holidays season, I thought it would be really fun to create some Christmas photo booth props for them and their friends to enjoy! These adorable Christmas photo props were super quick and easy to make using my Cricut Expore Air, and they are definitely going to ... View the Post

How to Create a Magnetic Chalkboard Wall
I have loved chalkboards ever since I was a kid. It was always such a special treat anytime I had an opportunity to doodle on the board after school! So several years ago when I became aware that you could buy chalkboard paint for your home, I knew that my kids would some day have their very own chalkboard to doodle on! And then I learned about magnetic primer, and well...that sealed the deal! I realize that chalkboard walls are becoming quite common, but I always enjoy seeing how people ... View the Post
