We have been thinking about getting a table saw for a good long while. The amount of space it takes up has held us back so far. At the moment, we just don't have room for it. Then, this summer when I went to a blogger conferenc ...

This is a new lamp we got recently for the living room. It looks similar to the one I originally planned for our seating bench area in the master bath, only we changed the plan for vanity lights up there, and that in turn changed ...

This is our laundry room. 'Room' is actually an overstatement. It's more like a nook. In the garage. We made over this nook in the spring, then I snapped a few pictures on our way out the door to a weekend trip at El Capitan. Whi ...

I am over at Eclectically Vintage today. Check it out here. --- Here is a quick project. A forever succulent to add a bit of green to a tray under our TV. I love how these things come together so easily, and then add a little ...

I have a been very inspired by flamingos lately. Are they the new owl? I don't know, but I love them. And I wanted one for our newly re-done entry. I have seen flamingos here and there in the last couple of months and I was very ...

Here is how I made three Kilim pillows for the price of one. Don't you just love all these Kilim pillows that are popping up all over at moment? Or has been for a while? I do, but I don't love the price. They are usually aroun ...

This post has a new rug, a sewing project, a craft/decor project AND a recipe in it. So many things to talk about. Let's get started! Last Friday all my purchases from the Memorial Day sale had arrived at my doorstep. Great tim ...

Before jumping to today's post, this: On Wednesday, Dana from House*Tweaking featured our kitchen on her blog. It was very exciting to see it over there. I have followed her for a while and love her style. Thank you so much aga ...

Here is our finished laundry room nook in the garage. Let's take a minute to see how it started out. Not much to look at, right? Then we built some walls. And added some chevron to the walls. The yellow is Dylan Velvet b ...

I made some new pillow covers for B's bedroom. I have been very inspired by Swiss crosses the past few months. And check this out: a friend of mine, Julia at cuckoo4design, posted this breathtakingly beautiful new hall way make ...

As part of our homeschooling experience, B and I took a ceramics class together for a couple of months at the end of the school year and for part of the summer. Through our amazing homeschool network, we found a great ceramic's ...

The first thing I did when designing our entry hall was to come up with the color and fabric scheme. This was the scheme I used the first time I designed the entry hall. The picture above is from the second time around. Link at ...

This is what our entry hall way looked like this Monday. There is of course a story of how we got to that, because it started out as a yellow box, like all the other areas of our home, but that is for another day. Including the ...

Remember at the upstairs hall closet reveal when I said that the upstairs hall was done except for flooring? I remember. I had just shown you what was behind doors 1 through 6. Then a couple of days later I opened doors 7 throug ...

Today's project is subtle but its a great effect and more noticeable in real life than on pictures. I added a white on white stenciled detail to a white framing mat. Can you see it? It's there... right there... see? For this ...
