I’ve always been a fan of thrift stores and giving old new things a new life, but I lost a lot of my motivation in the last couple years. Make no mistake, I didn’t lose my motivation for purchasing the items. Oh no, I still have a basement storage room filled to the brink with …
I originally shared this post over at Create.Craft.Love. last month, but I wanted share it here on my own site as well for all of you! It’s been hanging on my door for over 6 weeks now and I’m still enjoying it, which says a lot for this flighty gal! I have a bit of …
I often look at pictures of kids’ bedrooms and gasp and ohh and ahh! There are so many gorgeous bedrooms out there filled with styled bookshelves and color-coded closets.

This may possibly have been the longest winter in the history of ever. #andallthepeoplesaidAmen So a couple weeks ago when it started warming up (aka “The Day It Went Above 40 Degrees”), it was time …
My daughter is 9 years-old and like most 9 year-olds, often acts and speaks impulsively without realizing how she’s sounding or the effect that she has on other people. That’s normal. She’s 9.

It has taken me 36 years of life to fully understand what “Christmas in July” means. I have now experienced it and its codename is “Silhouette”. Ahhh, guys! Don’t be fooled by this sleek, delicate-looking little beauty. She’s a beast and she can work her butt off! I just broke her open for the first …
I’m always such a paradox of styles. I love classic muted colors. Chocolate browns, blacks, greys… they make me feel warm and safe. Know what else I love? Bright pops of funky colors!
