Since moving in our home a little over a year ago, we have done several DIY projects together as a family. Most of which I regret not documenting. My favorite project to date was the dining room table we built as a family. I did capture a few of the special moments of us building as a family but I certainly wish I had more of the process to share with you all. Anyway, all feelings aside, I had never had a table like this before. It’s approximately 7 ft long and can seat up to 8 people. Needless to say,…

Do you just ever accidentally make something awesome. Yeah, it doesn’t happen often for me either but when it does…ohhh boy it makes me happy! Something else that makes my heart happy is cleaning and organizing. This fun little fact about me is NOT very apparent if you look at my craft space! Something about seeing all my treasures strewn on the table and be surround my all my collections in my office inspires creativity in me. It’s literally the one place in my home I don’t mind being messy. The only problem is never being able to find anything…

There is only one thing better than buffalo check.…buffalo check flannel! This project all stemmed from my need for pumpkins to mingle in with my fall decor. Grab you some fabric (or an old flannel shirt) and a old pillow and you’re on your way to DIY pumpkin heaven! Grab a pillow you don’t mind sacrificing and cut that bad boy open. You’re gonna need the polyfil for later. Next comes your fabric. I had debated on using a farmhouse printed fabric but ultimately decided on buffalo check, because well…it’s buffalo check and I literally can’t get enough of it. Simply cut…

Listen, when you’re on a tight decorating budget like I literally always am, you can learn real quick how to make something from nothing. In my recent thrifting adventures I found a cute little oval poplar wood box for FREE! It literally doesn’t get any better than that! At the time I had no clue what I’d be using it for but I knew it had potential. After getting my thrifted treasures home and unloading everything in the floor, I noticed my little box again. I had sat it out of the box haphazardly on its side and that’s when…

SUPPLIES Wood piece Printer Paper Mod Podge I absolutely love the Halloween/Fall season. Everything about dressing up in costumes, sipping coffee in the chilly temps, hay rides, corn mazes and pumpkin patches…ohhhh my goodness I can’t wait. It may only be August but I have slowly started trickling out my fall decor. Can I confess something though? Halloween decor has always been a challenge for me.I never really know when or how to incorporate the spooky-ness in with my traditional decor and when I do, it ends up looking cluttered. Is this a problem for you or just me? Anyway,…

SUPPLIES Barn Wood Screws Drill This project actually stemmed from my DIY RAE DUNN PLATES project. After making those beauties I needed a way to display them in my decor.…and here we are. This DIY is short, sweet and to the point…just the way I like it! Like my friend, Brooke with Re-Fabbed, always says “Ain’t nobody got time for hard projects!” If you’re the type that loves simple DIY with a BIG result then this one is just for you. It took me about 5 minutes tops! First and foremost you will need a board. I used a piece of old barn…

If you have never heard of Rae Dunn it is very possible that you may be living under a rock. It is seriously all the rage in farmhouse styled décor right now. I must admit I am not entirely sure why since nothing about the simple designs scream farmhouse to me…BUT…they are simply presh…you know what else they are? Expensive! At least some of the time anyway. If you’re one of the lucky few that has been able to snag some amazing deals on this adorable collection at TjMaxx then kudos, I tip my hat to you my friend. Heck,…

This project has been months in the making. In order for you to appreciate this project I have to share a little back story. A few months ago I was asked to present a project at a live crafting event hosted by Brooke Riley from Re-fabbed. I knew I wanted to teach the ladies to make a farmhouse riser. Fast forward a couple weeks and I was touring the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory in Louisville, KY. At the end of our tour we were encouraged to take home a “nub” as a souvenir. These nubs were cut off the ends…

SUPPLIES Large paint sticks White paint Paint brush Large piece of burlap Upholstery tacks Jute or ribbon Hot Glue Faux flowers I am so excited to share this project. It was definitely one of those “ah-ha” moments in crafting. I just love it when a plan comes together. My inspiration came from seeing a tray made from paint sticks and drawer pulls which I thought was absolutely genius. I loved the idea of re purposing the sticks but I wanted to take it a step further by creating something to hang on the wall. I started by assembling the paint sticks side…
