ombre dresser redo
July 25, 2012 By 16 Comments
I heart ombre. There's just something about all those shades of the same color that is so gorgeous! I already knew I wanted to paint our nursery dresser, which was pretty plain jane white...a walmart special we bought when we were getting ready for Sadie. (aka really cheap aka we were poor) I saw my friend Melanie paint her dresser drawers like … [Read more...]

hot air balloon baby mobile
July 9, 2012 By 43 Comments
I've always loved hot air balloons. I've never rode in one, and probably never will (I'm skeered of heights) but they are just so darn adorable. I love the ones with different colored panels...it's the quilter in me I guess! I drew my inspiration from a few I found on Etsy and had to make my own for the new nursery decor. Maybe it will be hot air … [Read more...]
nursery planning-and a fabric sale!
June 26, 2012 By 11 Comments
***See the winner of the Shabby Apple giveaway here!*** So...you might have heard we're having another girl...and since we don't have to buy a whole new boy wardrobe*, I told Rory I'm definitely making new stuff for the nursery! It's nice to not have to paint the room either-and I still love the color, so I'm working with it. (see more pics of the … [Read more...]
Sadie’s new-ish room
April 12, 2012 By 29 Comments
Well you guys saw that I finally finished Sadie's quilt...phew! Since she's had a big girl bed for quite some time, and was still using her little toddler quilts (which covered her up fine, just looked funny on that big ol bed), it was about time to finish it and get it on that bed. Also I spruced up her room a little bit-nothing big, just a few … [Read more...]

my new "art"
November 3, 2011 By 13 Comments
So...I've been wanting to get some large artwork for above my fireplace (which needs a ton of work but I won't go into that), but didn't want to pay the large artwork prices. Plus, nothing I found I liked. So I knew I wanted to DIY something. So, we hit up Michaels when their canvases were 40% off, so this big one was $30 I think.By the by, it … [Read more...]
little red chair
October 6, 2011 By 19 Comments
I just love quick projects with a big impact. Like this little red chair. I told you about how I got it for 50 cents, right? STEAL! I have been on the lookout for a chair just like this for months, too. Love thrifting karma. So, take a 50 cent chair, add some red spray paint I already had (but was about $5 probably), and you get one cute … [Read more...]
