DIY Custom Pinch Pleat CurtainsI recently came across some beautiful fabric and when you find beautiful fabric (that is also on clearance – $4/yard!) you have to find a project for the fabric! I knew it would be the perfect fabric for curtains in Eliana’s room. There were only 5 yards left on the bolt… Continue reading DIY Pinch Pleat Curtains

Painting a Pumpkin – A New Autumn TraditionThis year we decided a painted pumpkin was more appropriate than a carved pumpkin.Eliana wouldn’t have been able to participate as much with carving a pumpkin.

Our homemade, or better yet, “Child Made” wrapping paper looks a little bit like modern art – freeform shapes and lines that intersect in beautiful disarray! It looks a little bit like our Child Made Thank You Cards except we only used red white and green paint for this art project. It is a fun… Continue reading DIY Wrapping Paper

Instead of the traditional Gingerbread House this year we opted for a Gingerbread Man. Mostly because I think a gingerbread house would look like a tornado hit it after we decorated it with a 1 year old. 🙂 We got all of our supplies together. We made it pretty simple – since we weren’t eating… Continue reading Gingerbread Man Decorating
When I first installed these cabinets I left the doors off and thought I would utilize them as open cabinets and add decorative bins. I didn’t realize how hard of a task this would be. After failing to find matching bins both online and locally without having to spend a small fortune I decided I… Continue reading Updated post: Installing new/old cabinets in the laundry room
When we purchased our house we purposefully bought a “fixer upper” because we wanted to make it our own. Since then we have removed wallpaper, taken down walls, built built-ins, and tiled floors to name just a few of the projects. Our Budget Friendly Kitchen Update: AFTER: The kitchen felt closed off from the rest… Continue reading Kitchen – Before and After
