A few years ago, I used the old pencil eraser painting technique to make artwork for my daughers’ rooms with their names in script. They were delicate and pretty, and fun to do! I also liked the dimension the paint gets when it’s simply tapped on. It gives it a lacey feel. So I thought…
Simple Snapshot Frame
I know I’m not alone in having a ton of cute photos that just hang out in digital land, largely forgotten. So the idea of having easy, interchangable frames is very appealing to me, and obviously not a novel idea. Some years ago I strung some twine on an open frame and hung pics with…
DIY Cut Words With Free Templates
So while trying to find something to hang on that empty little porch wall, I kept seeing these cute cut words. I really wanted to give them a try. My first thought was “yum” for the kitchen, but then I had a better idea courtesy of my sister. She wanted to stage a flip house…
Easy Modern Address Plaque
Who’s up for an easy project today?! At the skinny house, we had this blank wall on the porch that needed a little something… perhaps a welcome sign or an address plaque. I had already picked up the address numbers, but honestly, with only 2 numbers in the address, I just felt like it wouldn’t…

Ultimate DIY Lighting Guide: Wood Edition
Lighting often goes overlooked as an easy way to update the look of a room… maybe it’s the cost, since lighting can go as high as the stars price-wise, or maybe it’s a an assumption that you would need to call in an electrician… whatever it is, overlook no more! I’m really excited to bring to…
Bath Vanity Plans
The biggest part of this little bathroom reno was the new vanity. It was also the part that stressed me the most! I’ve never made a vanity before, much less designed one, so I really took the time to think through all the little nuances…. like how the top attached, how to work around the…
Herringbone Mirror
You may remember the herringbone fireplace insert I created (if not, check that out here!) I loved the way it turned out, and it was a lot of fun to do. Fast forward to my bath makeover planning, and I knew I needed something more substantial in the mirror department. And then it clicked; I could…
Interior Shutters
It’s time for another bathroom project! These shutters easily provide privacy when needed, but can still stay open and let in the light. These are super easy to make, especially with proper planning. Take a good look at your window and trim, and take a trip to the hardware store to look at hinges….
