wooden butterfly art

I used my scroll saw and one lightweight 2×4 project board for this colorful wooden butterfly and it’s a cheerful decoration on my daughter’s wall now. She loves the whimsical color and I love how fun it was to make!

I used Sharpie markers to decorate simple canvas white shoes and I love how colorful and bright they are… like a “tie dyed” rainbow!

I had a stash of these budget canvas boards and wanted to use them for something fun. Painters tape and craft paint turned these boards into a colorful graphic piece of art for our living room.

Lover of color, wrangler of chaos, thrifter of all the things.

Hi, I'm Charlotte! I'm fixing up our 100 year old house and artfully hoarding armchairs in the garage. I love color. I love flea markets. I love a little mess. My days are spent writing, painting, sanding, laughing and negotiating with our 5 kids. You can read more about us here

If you saw my stories then you know that I have so If you saw my stories then you know that I have some bigger projects coming up and this room is getting a makeover. Naturally I want it to be done immediately, but I’m afraid I need to pick up a few supplies and *ahem* prep a little bit but hoping to start the day after tomorrow. Unless a design squirrel runs by and I chase that and decide to upholster a chair or hang a gallery wall or install my new foyer runner. I envy folks who can plan out their projects for the month and move through them in an organized and measured fashion. I have an invisible magic DIY 8 ball that I essentially shake each morning and decide what I want to take on. Thankfully I have lots of options but who’s to say what I’ll feel like doing tomorrow. Will it be a rug? Wallpaper? Organize? (Or just sit and watch dogs on TikTok with a cup of coffee and a bag of cheetos?) Stay tuned!

For about $25 in materials, I made myself a lamp. For about $25 in materials, I made myself a lamp. Did I need a lamp? Nope. Was it fun to turn a terra cotta wine carafe into a cool sculptural lamp? Yep!! I love the process of figuring out a project. What supplies to use. What problems to solve. Every experiment informs the next creation. I learn something about my tools. About the materials. I guess it’s the overall wonder and discovery that I love most about making anything! Unless it involves upholstery or sewing. Both of those can cause cursing and evoke less love.

My newly minted 9-year-old has discovered makeup. My newly minted 9-year-old has discovered makeup. And by makeup I mean a heavy HEAVY handed application of vibrant blue eye shadow and an aggressive dollop of bright pink blush. We’ve learned that the makeup often leaves behind a faint tinge of color so you’re welcome in advance to her teacher who will get to feast her eyes on Martha’s discolored skin at school. Note that the makeup is often accompanied my hair chalk so the faint patina of blue on her eyelids is matched by the residual blue in her hair. It’s a look. Truth be told she’s better at makeup than I am so maybe I should get some pointers... what are some things your kids can do better than you? I’ll start: pop-a-shot basketball.

We have a nine year old in the Smith house. I’ve We have a nine year old in the Smith house. I’ve asked her to confirm this number at least twice and she assures me 9 is correct. Quietly determined, this is a child who once spent every recess for a month mastering the monkey bars on her preschool playground. She loves her friends and siblings alike and smiles biggest of all when she’s with them. Her birthday requests for me were flippy sequin clothes, a fancy dress and a karaoke microphone but I think she submitted  alternate lists to other members of the family... she’s no dope. As a middle child I worry that her stoic can-do demeanor means she doesn’t get as much attention as the squeakier wheels in the family. But her quiet hugs, glittering laugh, and willingness to help will carry her far. Independent, strong and sometimes wily, I can’t wait to see what this year has in store for her!

Hello and welcome! I shared a few facts about me i Hello and welcome! I shared a few facts about me in stories today so I figured I’d reiterate some of them here. I’ve probably mentioned them before but I’ve reached the age where I repeat myself so #sorrynotsorry. I have five kids who cost us about $675 dollars a week in cereal. I taught first grade for years and went on to get my masters in psychological counseling which I’ve just started to lord over my kids’ heads. They haven’t learned to appreciate that yet. I signed up for a free month of Hulu years ago so I could watch the entire series of Dawson’s Creek and Felicity for free. Cheetos is my love language. I love taking old boring discarded things and making them into fun, colorful one-of-a-kind objets (said with French accent because... #fancy). We moved into a new house right after Thanksgiving and I spend my days planning for all the projects I’m hoping to tackle! I believe design should have personality. I believe we can accomplish a lot more than we think we can if we just try. I also believe old ball gowns and the Bachelor are wonderful. #aboutme #funfacts #meetthemaker
