    DIY Rustic Island Counter Top

    8:52 PM - By 

    Sooo, as most of you may already know we have been steadi­ly work­ing on con­vert­ing an old dress­er into a kitchen island. My num­ber one goal out of this entire con­ver­sion process has been work­ing toward cap­tur­ing an old, just pulled out of a barn feel. I don’t know if that makes any sense to you but that is lit­er­al­ly the phrase I have been using to describe my vision. Rusty hard­ware (that I also DIY’d HERE) , chip­py paint…you name it. This has pre­sent­ed itself to be quite the chal­lenge but I was eager to get this part of…

    Rustic Farmhouse Kitchen Makeover

    9:02 PM - By 

    If you would have told me a year ago that I would be shar­ing images of my new­ly updat­ed dream kitchen I would have lol’d…BIG TIME! We were no where near buy­ing our for­ev­er home, in fact, we were rent­ing and bank­ing on buy­ing that place! But God…GOD had dif­fer­ent plans for our fam­i­ly. I din’t know exact­ly what they were at that point but I just had this feel­ing that we need­ed to wait.  The iron­ic part is I am a very VERY impa­tient per­son. When I get some­thing in my head, I want to jump to it right them…

    How to Prep Your Cabinets for Paint

    4:51 AM - By 

    Okay, y’all. Let me just start by say­ing, I am not a pro­fes­sion­al painter. This is my sec­ond time tak­ing on this type of project but my first time doc­u­ment­ing the process. I com­plete­ly under­stand how over­whelm­ing it can become with the crazy amount of cab­i­net paint­ing tuto­ri­als that are out there. That is why I have tried my very best to break it down in the clear­est way possible.  We recent­ly moved into our for­ev­er home and even though I fell in love with the house, I did not love the cab­i­nets. And let me tell ya, if there…

    Easy Christmas Ornament Using Scrap Fabric

    4:32 AM - By 

    I have been mak­ing the heck out of some Christ­mas orna­ments late­ly. I am look­ing for any and every way to add some­thing cute to my tree and it’s new theme with­out break­ing the bank. Mak­ing orna­ments has nev­er real­ly some­ht­ing I have been too pas­sion­ate about until now sim­ply because I typ­i­cal­ly like to my tree to be per­fect­ly styled and “themed”. Nonethe­less, all of the home­made orna­ments are star­ing to grow on me. This tree in par­tic­u­lar is tak­ing on a more mod­ern, neu­tral vibe with­out sac­ri­fic­ing that lit­tle some­thing spe­cial. This orna­ment is super easy, cheap and…

    $3 Nativity Makeover

    8:20 PM - By 

    I have been search­ing for the per­fect nativ­i­ty scene to add to my Christ­mas decor for a few years now. Though they are beau­ti­ful, I nev­er could bring myself to spend so much mon­ey on a set. Luck­i­ly, in most most recent trip to one of my favorite pickin’ spots, I came across this lit­tle dia­mond in the rough! It was not in pris­tine cond­tion but all the peices were there and it was in decent shape. I snagged it for $3, stuffed it in a box and brought it home!  Talk about a steal! My heart was elated.  As you…
