Hello friends! I thought I could wait until Thanksgiving but I ignored that small voice, instead turning my home into Santa’s Workshop this weekend. It was so much fun, we had our favorite Christmas songs going, it was very cold outside and soup simmering in the crock pot. We hung garlands, brought out the Christmas…

DIY book page garland
Hello friends! How is your week going? Mine is flying by and I am thrilled to be feeling better! I ended up very anemic this summer and we realized I am no longer absorbing iron via food or supplements. A problem for those of us with anemia. SO, after being treated in the ER we…
How to make cement footed bowls (with dollar store supplies!)
It has been a bit of a crazy few weeks here at casa twelveOeight, I was not feeling well and ended up very anemic so I am finally on the mend and getting some OOMPH back! On a side note, I have started juicing again to improve immunity and get myself back on track. I…

Big changes in the dining room
This refresh in our dining room has been a long time coming, I am SO excited! It seems like a living room or kitchen gets more attention (is it just me?) and the dining room just does not seem to be something we think about updating very often. As our style and ideas for our…
How to modernize your fireplace
When we bought our 1970’s mid century modern home almost 4 years ago the 70’s were still alive and going strong in many areas of our home. At the time I wanted a super clean space and was not ready to bring a lot of color or changes in quite yet. I have always felt…
DIY neutral beaded vases
You guys! I was thrilled to find these vases this summer at one of our local Goodwill stores, I think I paid $10 bucks for the pair (EVEN BETTER!) I filled them with pretty Fall stems and enjoyed them so much. I tucked them away for the holidays, and when I brought them back out…
DIY textured wall hangings and a new green entryway
Happy January! I was a bit more quiet than usual over the holidays but it was just one of those years that you find yourself needing to rest. Being an area I struggle with (rest, self-care, quietness) I decided to take the pressure to post off and just enjoy. And paint a bit of course!…
