DIY Wallpaper Feather Art on Canvas
I originally shared the following post on Yellow Bliss Road with a tutorial on how to make wallpaper feathers and transform them into collage art on canvas. The finished work looks like a piece of old metal with a distressed painting technique. I have made plans to completely transform my children’s shared bedroom in a boho tribal style, which won’t fully start happening until late winter/early spring (I want to get through the holiday season without any huge upheaval in our home and the change includes moving them from the smaller of our two bedrooms, to the larger – a huge undertaking!). Even so, I have already started making plans…

DIY Homeschool Preschool Daily Activity Calendar {with homemade magnets!}
This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Office Depot, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #inspirestudents http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV Getting prepared to start homeschool preschool can be a daunting task, but with a daily activity calendar and some fun magnets you can keep on track! When I recently made the decision to start homeschool preschool with my three year old daughter Hazel, I felt a little overwhelmed. The reasons for going with homeschool preschool included Hazel not yet being potty trained, the cost, and the fact that she just turned three this summer. I felt another year at home would be…

Owen’s First Birthday: A Football Party {a look back}
My little man, Owen, turned one on September 26, 2013. I never got around to sharing a birthday post back then, but decided with the draft coming this week, I would share it now! If you aren’t up on the NFL draft, well let me tell you…it is a very big deal. At least in my house it is 🙂 My husband is a very serious football fan. Not the kind who yells loudly at the TV or wears sports paraphernalia of his favorite team. Nope. Not that kind. A real fan. One who studies the players before they make it to the NFL. Who knows all the intricate details…

Hazel’s Vintage Nursery {a look back}
I am excited to share with you the second in my {a look back} series, where I am sharing snippets from life when I was away from blogging. One thing that I never got around to sharing during that time, was Hazel’s nursery, so I am going to now! I had so many hopes and dreams for this room before she was born. Lots of plans were made and vintage items collected just for this special space that I wanted to create for my first child. I knew I wanted it to be cream and white with neutral, vintage touches throughout. When she was born at 31 weeks, and then…

Playroom Curtain Make-Over {Easy DIY} + a Free Chalkboard Printable
I have been working on decorating our playroom for about a year now. It is a slow process getting things accomplished when you have little ones, isn’t it? Today, I wanted to share the “curtain make-over” that I did for this room. This project was inspired by a pair of dated valance curtains we had. My mom picked them up at a sale, to decorate Hazel’s first birthday party with, which had a “country fair” theme. After we used them for the party, they sat in my linen closet for quite some time. Until one day, a spark of creativity hit me, and I knew what to do with them. Here…
