Paper + glitter fall wreath

August 23, 2014 by Tanya 20 Comments

So, it’s almost Fall right?
Like, so close to Fall that a pretty, glittery wreath is totally necessary at this point.

I mean, when do we not need a new wreath, you know, never.

So, I am working (yeah on like 5 ongoing projects at the same time because we love
a challenge right?) on getting the front porch ready for Fall. I will be sharing a bit more
soon about how I did a super easy deep clean and lifted a layer of summer use and dirt
right off. But in between cleaning the porch, light fixtures, and making a few new pretty
things for my Fall porch decor, a wreath had to be the first thing that I finished.

It has been far too long since we did a dollar store upcycle don’t you think?
Well I am excited about this quick & easy DIY clipboard, it makes such a pretty
spot for notes, ideas, fabric swatches, pictures or anything to land and be seen.

Dots & Burlap Happy Easter Banner

March 12, 2014 by Tanya 14 Comments

Are you seeing signs of spring where you live? I found our little cherry blossom buds blooming on their branches,

and tiny daffodils reaching for the sun, getting a bit taller each day. Do you get a little flurry of excitement when

you see those first blooms and longer days? I sure do, they are so welcome. Restoration for a winter-weary

soul, renewal, and new life. The whole process, and the art that is created because of it, just makes me happy!

I know we still have a few days before St. Patrick’s Day, but Easter is just a hop (hee hee) skip and a jump away, and

that means some awesome Easter DIY home decorating and crafting are on the horizon. A bedroom makeover,

some new spring fashion, and a painted dresser or two. I think I can do it!

Ok, ready to get your polka dot on & make a pretty Easter Banner?

Let’s fire up the glue guns…

Gilded Washi {Dollar Store} Binder Clips

I realized this weekend that I have never done a washi tape post.

Like, not one.

So while I was cleaning (yes, the craft hoard is a mess. again) I found a few pretty rolls I had picked up a while ago. And if you give a girl some boring office supplies, some washi tape, and toss in some paint…

Y’all are going to get some pretty office supplies for your desk or work area. For $1 plus paint and tape. Let’s make stuff.

I am really loving color right now, especially against a clean, light background. It’s so fresh and pretty,

there aren’t a whole lot of things more refreshing than the vibrant colors of springtime.

Do you remember the antique white stands I shared last fall? They held my shabby fabric pumpkins and

I have used them non-stop since then. I used different supplies to make them this time and love the way

they turned out. And they were not only budget-friendly but super easy.

Here is what I used…

DIY Rag Rug Throw Pillows

February 4, 2014 by Tanya 19 Comments

We seem to go through pillows, or pillow covers quickly.

For me it is more of an evolution of an admitted pillow addiction. But for the kids, it is survival of the fittest. Especially pillows that are destined (or have the unfortunate luck) to end up in our playroom.

I love our playroom. I have dreamed of having a space for the kids to play, build forts, snuggle up and watch their favorite movies, and do a little dreaming too.

Dollar Store Chalkboard Sign in a January House

January 23, 2014 by Tanya 24 Comments

I am always excited & challenged by what I like to call my January House.

My routine has returned (ok at least a little.)

The Holiday’s are behind us, and a fresh New Year with all it’s hope and

possibility is here.

And I am usually ready for some change.

Do you do the same thing?

Like finishing something then deciding to make a few changes, and add that

other thing, so you realize you are never really done.

Or finished.

But just starting.

I think of my house and I like a comfortable friendship.

Chandler & Joey.

Laverne & Shirley.

Wayne & Garth.

Lucy & Ethel.

If we were to have a conversation (other than a one-sided convo I am very

thankful has never been overheard at least to date) it might sounds like this.
