When we bought our 1905 house, it had transom. It was actually covered in wood and we restored it! Since then, I’ve wanted to add more transom window, but stained glass for extra pizazz! If you’ve ever wanted a stained glass transom I’ll show where to buy the glass and how to install it.
Gardening Tips for Beginners
Last year was the first year I felt successful as a gardener. My husband built me a few raised garden beds and our little vegetable garden really flourished! This year I figured that I’d add in some flowers for a cut flower garden so I can have lots of blooms to decorate with. Here are some gardening tips for beginners so you can be successful too!
My first year gardening, I started my own seeds and put them in the garden in the backyard. The plants were small and weak. The soil wasn’t very healthy. Plus we had to remember to water it everyday (which didn’t always happen). Our dogs trampled lots of the plants. The result was fatal and I don’t think anything yielded from that crop.
After building my raised garden last year to much success, I feel confident with making our garden even bigger! I learned from my mistakes and thought I’d share what worked.

Paint Stripping from Detailed Wood
I bought a GIANT candle stick from a vintage market. It’s solid wood and I’ll use it for my bedroom that we’re currently making over- probably as a plant stand. I think it’s cute painted, but I definitely bought it planning on stripping it. So I thought I’d share some paint stripping tips especially since this is a tricky piece with detailed wood.
Here’s what the plant/candle stand looked like at the vintage market.
You can see that there were some drips of polyurethane. The bones on this piece are so good! Ready to see how paint stripping works on it?!
Sun Macrame Wall Hanging DIY
I was decorating my son’s room and put a rainbow macrame wall hanging that I had just made on one door knob of the closet. It looked cute, but needed something to balance it out. So I thought I could make a sun macrame piece to compliment the rainbow! Want to make one too? Here are the instructions-
Atoll Mirror Dupe
Right now we’re working on redoing our main bedroom and closet. I really want to fill the space with special pieces. For the closet, the main view will be a full length mirror and I fell in love with a clam shell looking mirror. But it’s pricey so I decided to make an Atoll Mirror Dupe. Want to see how I made my own version?!
Main Bedroom Plans
For the past month or so we’ve been tearing apart the bedroom on our main floor so we can redo it for the primary bedroom. It’s down to the studs and I’ve been slowly been planning all the fun stuff I’m going to do in there! Since it’s time to start putting it back together, I thought I’d share my main bedroom plans!
DIY Hand Painted Tiles
I’m currently redoing my main bedroom and I have a DIY fireplace planned. For that I’ve been wanting patterned tile. I couldn’t find anything affordable, so I thought I could make my own!

DIY Rainbow Bookends
My son needed new shelves for his room (we ran out of room on the last shelves). I figured it’d be the perfect time to make DIY rainbow bookends as a gift! These are pretty easy to build- they’re quick and simple and look so cute on a shelf! Plus they’re functional as they keep books from falling over. Let’s get into the tutorial-
DIY Hat Stand
I’ve been looking for cute accessories for the closet I’m redoing. While at the antique shop, I saw lots of hat display stands. But they range from $30 to $125. I bought one, but after looking at it, I thought that I could easily make one with thrifted items. Here’s a tutorial for how to make a DIY hat stand.
How to Make a Ruffle Collar
It’s warming up outside and so it’s no longer “wear as big of a sweater as possible” season. I’m excited to have fun with fashion and layering on dresses! I’m loving the current trend of detachable statement collars- they add a fun element to outfits. So I thought I’d make a few. These are so easy to make so I thought I’d share how to make a ruffle collar.
I have a step by step tutorial for you including a video that should be helpful to show exactly how to make the ruffle collar. At the end I’ll show some outfit ideas if you like this look but aren’t quite sure how to create the layered look. Let’s get started!
