Fireplace Refresh (on the cheap!)

Marianne — Thu, 19 Apr 2018 20:16:38 +0000

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a Cricut kick! After wanting one for so long, I’m finally putting my Cricut Maker to some good, vinyl-cutting use!

I’ve been itching for a change in our master bedroom for some time now. And not a style change. It’s our bedding. We’ve had a bedspread for a few years, and i’m just really missing the comfort of a comforter. I switched to a bedspread for a couple of reasons. Number 1 it reminded me...

Wooden Chevron Picture Frame

Marianne — Sun, 29 Oct 2017 16:59:57 +0000

If you hang with me here, you may start to see a trend with what I’ve been into lately. Lots of cut, geometric, puzzle piece wood projects. Oh and picture frames. I’ve been trying to hang up more pictures around the house. So this project is the best of both worlds 🙂 With the exception...

Welcome to the Ultimate DIY Lighting Guide! 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...

The Boardwalk Bench

Marianne — Sun, 13 Aug 2017 23:33:57 +0000

While riding our bikes down the boardwalk on a beautiful spring day, I couldn’t help but look at the boards themselves and think about all the character in them. The happy beach goers, the dropped ice cream cones, battering storms, and long spans of peace against the crash of the ocean. I was thinking how...

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...

I have lots of love for transoms. I know, who doesn’t, right? When we built our downstairs bath, we added an opening in the shower wall to help let in more light. But it was always a little…. blah. I could never put my finger on it, but it didn’t strike my fancy. So...
