DIY Tribal Inspired Wall Hanging {acrylic paint stamped on drop cloth}
Even though I have been hit with the winter blues, I am forcing myself to try and get creative every day, hoping it might pull me out of my rut. We are buried deep in snow in my neck of the woods, and it is freezing outside, so between the lack of sunshine and being cooped up for months on end, I am not at the top of my game. Life has been rough. I am working my way through it by decluttering, redecorating certain areas around the house and making some new decor pieces like the one I am going to share today: a bohemian style wall hanging painted…

Upcycled Glam Napkin Rings
Early in December, I shared a post over at Yellow Bliss Road for my Glam Napkin Rings that were featured in my holiday home tour at the end of last last year. It was my last guest post over there, and today I am resharing it with you here! These napkin rings are very versatile and don’t just have to be for a Christmas table. Depending on the embellishments you could use them for any occasion all year long. I could definitely see the red and white ones working for a special Valentine’s dinner for two. Here is the original post: I love anything that is quick and easy and…

Top Ten Posts of 2014
Today I am giving you a recap of my top ten posts from 2014! Last year around this time, I shared my personal favorite top ten posts from 2013, since I hadn’t done much blogging that year. This past year was a lot different as I blogged regularly and turned my blog into a small creative career. So today I am sharing my top posts determined by you the readers (based on pageviews). I hope you enjoy these posts if you haven’t yet seen them! My Coffee Filter Angel Wings seem to be my claim to fame so far and bring me new readers every single day (thank you Pinterest!). I can’t believe this tutorial has over…

Whimsical Thread Spool Garland
After a long, much needed blogging break I am back! A lot happened over the holiday. Some glad, but there was a tone of sadness over it when we found out my uncle was diagnosed with cancer the day before Christmas Eve and he doesn’t have much time left. And then we lost my grandmother on January 6th. She was not in great health, but it was very quick and unexpected just the same. It has been a rough few weeks for my entire extended family…prayers are welcomed! I am now easing back into blogging and wanted to start with a post that I worked on before my break but never…

Vintage Stacked Book Christmas Tree {inside our mantel}
Last month, I shared a project over on Jennifer Rizzo’s blog for an unconventional Christmas tree that I set up inside our mantel. I literally thought this up on a whim one afternoon while the little ones were napping. I had no idea how much it would inspire people. The images of my vintage book stack Christmas tree are some of my most popular on Instagram, and I am constantly hearing people say how much they love it. This was even featured on Country Living’s Facebook page and one morning I saw that the Junk Gypsies shared the image on Instagram (with credit to their Pinterest boards <—insert my sad…

Last week, I was excited to participate with several other bloggers for a Trim the Tree Party hosted by Clean and Scentsible. I shared an easy diy tutorial for making snowflake ornaments out of feathers. I am sharing the original post here with you today. I hope you enjoy! I only made the four in the post, but am hoping to find some time to do more soon for our tree. I am loving how they look on it! Here is the original post: Hello everybody!
