Getting Our Deck and Patio Ready for Spring

We moved into this house the day after Thanksgiving so the exterior has been a bit of a mystery for us… until now!!! I am THRILLED to be partnering with The Home Depot to update our backyard spaces. And guess what… I finished them a few weeks ago and we’ve been using the heck out of them!!!!!
Old Table Turned Upholstered Ottoman

I *always* love a chance to reimagine a piece of furniture and today’s project is one of my favorites thanks to the chic fabric I was able to use. JOANN sent me some of their Crypton fabric and before I made this, I got to get my infomercial on my testing the fabric and let’s just say… it’s magical.
How to Build a Terrarium Table

Lush mossy terrariums are my favorite and this time of year I crave the low maintenance greenery more than ever! Rather than fill yet another glass container with moss and plants, I figured I’d make something a bit more permanent: a terrarium table!
How to DIY a Custom Neon Sign

I love a neon light. Truly. But man oh man can they be pricey. ESPECIALLY if you want them to say something custom. Oliver wanted one in his room but the budget didn’t really allow for it and there weren’t any prefab ones that he really liked. So… custom DIY neon light coming up!
Toothpick Art: Flamestitch Planter

I’m having the best time making fun projects using unconventional materials! (Remember that time I painted a singing fish?!). Well for today’s project I asked my Instagram audience to suggest a material that I would have on hand or could easily get. (There were SO many fun ideas!!) My daughter helped me choose one at random and we landed on: toothpicks.

Let’s rewind a bit to this past fall when the house was empty. Arthur was BEYOND excited to have his own room. It’s a small room but big enough for a bed, a chair, a nightstand and a bookshelf. And then he asked for a recliner…

One of the accessories I grabbed when I was a featured designer or the One Room Challenge was this modern black planter from Lamps Plus. It’s a great size and brings a bit of chic my sometimes boppy color scheme! I went into the thrift store the other day and picked up some dishes that I thought I could use to make similar version of this planter… for $9. Spoiler: I LOVE the way this turned out!!

DIY Thrift Store Painted Canvas

I will never get tired of a thrift store makeover. It’s like one open ended experiment. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I’m not sure about this canvas but I sure had a fun time making it over! Thrift stores are a great place to go for blank canvases. Unless there’s a major coupon a the craft store a big 2×3 canvas can cost upwards of $40. This one was $10 at our grossly over-priced Goodwill. They should be even cheaper!

We’ve had a LOT of time to sit around and play games together lately and I figured some of you might want recommendations as we head into another dark winter of social distancing, etc. Reminder that our kids are aged 11-5 so I’ll mention who enjoys each of these games..

Oven Bake Clay Capiz Shells

OK, this is a super specific project, but I’m mostly just excited that I pulled it off and it actually looks legit. I made faux capiz shells using oven bake clay and turned them into a mirror. Best part? This will cost you under $20 and is definitely something kids could help with!
