A few months ago, I made a rainbow wall hanging and I LOVE it! But it’s pretty small and I’ve been wanting something MUCH bigger for the guest bedroom above the dresser. So I decided to make a large version and I can’t wait to show how I sized it up! Here’s how to make an oversized rainbow wall hanging and hang it on the wall. [Read more…]
Every week on Instagram, I do a series called “thrift store Thursday” where I go to a second hand store and share fun finds and how to up-cycle the items for modern decor. I LOVE it! This week, I thought I’d see what Anthropologie inspired items I could find. Or items that I could make over to look like the high end pieces. I call it Anthropologie style at the thrift store.

Last year was our first year in this house. Figuring out the holiday decorating while renovating was a lot to do. This year, I feel much more settled and want to go all out with the Christmas decor! Yesterday’s task, put garland around the doorframe leading to the stairs and kitchen. I figured, paper would be a festive and affordable. Here’s how to make a DIY paper holly garland.

Well, it’s finally the holidays! Which means choosing out fun things for the people you love. And I personally take my gift giving very seriously. 😂For me, that means only choosing gifts that I’d want to give or receive. So, if you’re gifting for a mom in need of relaxing, or a serious foodie, here are two gift guides for moms + chic chefs.
When I was little, I remember a year when my uncle gave me the most magical nutcracker snow globe. I felt so special and loved to shake it and watch the snow fall. One Christmas Eve it tragically broke and I haven’t had one since. So this year, I thought I’d make my own! Here’s how to make a DIY snow globe that is the perfect craft for kids or great to give as a gift! [Read more…]

If you’re new here, you might now know that I LOVE a good rainbow color scheme! I do, and so adding that to my Christmas decor has been a fun project this year. I LOVE the look of a forest of colorful bottle brush trees, but buying them in the pretty colors can get expensive. Also, since I love a look for less, so here’s 3 ways to dry bottle brush trees.

A few weeks ago, I was window shopping on Anthropologie website and I saw the cutest gingerbread house doormat! I didn’t grab it and now it’s sold out. You gotta get the good stuff early! Anyway, I really wanted it for my porch (I love decorating it for the holidays). But, I figured, I can make that! Here is my DIY gingerbread house doormat.
Note, I’m a total beginner at Cricut projects and this is a more intermediate level craft since the pattern is so intricate. I’m going to walk you through it and make it easier by providing the house image that you can easily import into Cricut’s Design Space.
Last month as we switched the office to a guest room, I thrifted a super cute $40 dresser. It looked ok from far away, but close up it was a little bit beat up. I figured since I needed to paint it, I might as well dress it up too! So here’s a post on how to add a transfer to a dresser.
Here’s the dresser before. It’s super nice to have this closed storage now! And it’ll work great for guests too! Close up, there were some scuffs.

Recently, one of my readers asked me where to find cute chairs for her desk. Specifically, pink chairs! So, I’m really happy to share this roundup of the prettiest pink office chairs with you today.
