Watercolor Walls

We’ve been in our house for two years now. The room that the girls share is a nice size so they all three fit great in there together, but it needed a paint job…badly! I love the way Waldorf schools paint their walls. They use the Lazure technique, which looks amazing!
{Master Bedroom Redo} Step 4 – A Space for Baby
All of our children, with the exception of Chloe because she snored loudly as a baby, spent at least a year sharing our bedroom. Willow was in our room for one year, Laelia, for two years. Now with this new little guy joining us very soon, he needed his own little space. And because he’s […]
{Master Bedroom Redo} Step 3 – The White
This week has been filled with the joys of painting…but also with a stomach virus in our house. The room had been kind of put on standby for a few days, but now we are back on track! Of course I gratefully accepted help from my brilliant little butterflies who happily threw on Daddy’s t-shirts […]
How to Steampunk an Office…sort of
This isn’t actually a guide to steampunking. I am learning as I go. One thing I’m learning is that unless you are handy with a soldering iron, it’s going to cost a bit of money to transform a room into a steampunk palace. Scott always told me that if he ever had an office, he […]
{My Handy Hubby} Scott’s DIY Bed
I don’t know how many times I’ve posted about the really awesome things Scott has built. There are so many things he’s done that I have yet to post about. I’ve decided to make a page entitled, “My Handy Hubby” that is dedicated just to him and the things he does for us. Today, he […]
Time Out
I would love to tell you that all of my children are pure angels. I can’t. In fact, it seems that lately they are over the top in misbehavior. I can only assume this is because of Christmas and the craziness that sometimes accompanies this blessed holiday. I find I am using time outs a […]
Night Stand Makeovers!
Well it took us forever a short time in the land of parents with 3 small children to refinish our night stands that Scott got at the thrift store. He picked these up all by himself when he and his friend were thrifting together.
Yard Sales!
Do you love to go yard saling? I have always love, love, loved it, but now that Scott is into it too it just got a whole lot more fun! I find such fabulous things at yard sales!!! If you haven’t given it a chance, you are really missing out! You can find so many amazing things at yard […]
Thrifting for Night Stands
One of my favorite things to do is decorate my house. I like to paint. I like to move stuff around. I like to find exactly the right spot for everything. And if it’s not right, I like to figure it out, usually by working with what I have…DIY style! Because we did not take our time having […]
Picture Frame Chalkboard
I made mention in a previous post (about our hallway makeover) about chalkboard I made out of a picture frame. I have an 11 x 14 frame that I just love! The glass had broken during one of our moves and I hadn’t gotten around to getting a new piece of glass.
