When thinking about painting dark walls in my new office, switches and plugs must also be taken into consideration. I didn’t want WHITE switch plates everywhere because it would draw the eye right to them. I could have chosen black plates or metallic covers or even opted for a pretty decorative plate in a similar …
I have a few pairs of these knit fingerless gloves and I have to say, I actually prefer the ones that have the finger holes, but either way, I like my fingers exposed for phone capability and photo-ready hands and wear whichever pair matches my outfit better. This green pair have seen better days. The …
As I mentioned in my First Look at My New Office post a few days ago, I knew when I walked into this space that this is where my desk would go. The ceiling on this side is dropped with recessed boxed fluorescent lighting fixtures and flanked with a popcorn textured finish. The other side …
I’m finally in what I consider the most fun part of my office renovation and that is DECORATING! Chad has been working on my desk makeover, which just needed a (major planing and sanding) and paint refresh, but he gave it a really cool distressed top I can’t wait to show you and in the …
I’m clearly obsessed with tiny houses as Christmas decor this year and I don’t even know why! After making my DIY A-Frame Winter Cabin a few weeks ago, I thought it would be really cute to make a tiny one as an ornament for the tree… and then I sort of forgot about it until …
On day four of election night (last Friday) and after completing one and a half 1000pc puzzles in the 3 nights prior, I was going a bit stir crazy and needed a bigger project to keep my mind and my hands busy. With the holidays just around the corner and everyone decorating for Christmas already, …
FINALLY some fun DIY Inspiration! I’ve been feeling so crafty lately, searching for a little inspiration without avail BUT THIS, this was inspiring. Not so much that Kamala had to say it A MILLION times during the debate the other night, but for so many other reasons, and I wanted to make my own version… …
I must admit, of all the DIYs I’ve done in my life, jewelry and beading has never really been high on my list. The only reason really is that I didn’t know how to do it. I never really learned or taught myself to DIY clasps and closures and so I avoided the whole category …
Dare I say I’m a little bit afraid of quarantine ending and life going back to normal? (GASP!) What is normal anyway? Dare I also say that in the past few weeks I have maybe surrendered to the quarantine and accepted life as we know it and everything became a little easier? YIKES! Truthfully, I …
I know I just did a DIY Braided Hair Headband, but this seemed like an obvious second choice that may work similarly… and since I’m in a DIY mood lately, I whipped it up in a few minutes because yes, it’s that easy… and you can too! Although I only show it worn wrapped around …
Tie-dying and bleach dying are all the rage right now, as my grandma might possibly say, and while normally, I’m really not a huge fan of the bright, multi-colored, rainbow types hippie-grateful dead tie dyes, I do have to say I’m loving the splotchy tie dyes I’m seeing everywhere right now. These tie dyed pieces …
Okay… I’m sure this removable braided headband has been done a million times, or maybe not. I didn’t really investigate because I didn’t care, I just wanted to make one for myself because I’m seeing them pop up everywhere right now and it’s a much simpler option than creating this look with your actual hair! …
This was a sort of last minute DIY because this quarantine finally gave us the time we needed to wallpaper the guest bathroom and give it a little makeover ANNNND I needed something on the wall that was textured and circular and a little funky with a pop of color… and then I thought that …
Today THE US Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that citizens should wear non-medical cloth masks when out in public to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. Previously, the CDC had suggested that only those with Covid-19 symptoms wear masks but now they’re recommending that even those who aren’t feeling sick should still …
Lovecats! It’s a crazy time… How are you holding up? I hope you and your families are healthy and safe at home and even though this quarantine is probably making us all a little (or a LOT) stir crazy, at least we are protecting ourselves and our communities by staying home and staying well. It …
