I found this sweet print at a local thrift store for less than $2! It was a bit damaged, but for that price I knew I could reframe it (I also didn’t love the matting anyways). As soon as I brought it home, Audriana asked if it could go in her room, and she helped…
How We Filled our Large Gathre Advent Calendar
I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is just over a week away, and that December is in two weeks! I’ve been so excited to pull our advent calendar together, I haven’t even started “regular” Christmas shopping yet. I had better get on that! But on to the point of this post: our BEAUTIFUL Large Gathre Advent…
Wes’s Surprise Office Makeover!
Over a month of planning, Pinteresting, thrift shopping, and secretly hiding things has finally paid off! Back in the spring, when the pandemic first started unfolding, many employers including Wes’s opted to let their employees work remotely full-time. For Wes this ended up being turned into a permanent arrangement, even with things eventually get back…
Our Homeschool Room: The Bookshelves
I could probably spend weeks in our homeschool room just tweaking all the books ha! There’s plenty left to organize, but at least they’re unpacked! I had no idea what I was going to do with our book stash when we moved (you might recall our built in desks/bookshelves we had in our last home)…
Our Picture Wall is Finally Finished!
As a little reminder, here’s where we started: after purchasing and spray painting my frames, I traced & numbered them all on newspaper and started laying them out… After getting everything hung, I decided it wasn’t quite right, and ended up deciding to redo it! Despite my reluctance to put even more holes in our poor wall,…
DIY Canvas Coffee Art

Simple Throw Pillow Slipcover
I’ve been on the hunt for some cute, but cheap throw pillows for our couch for quite some time – why are they so hard to find!? Finally I decided I should just find cheap pillows in the size I wanted and then cover them with a fabric I like… I found these on a…
Vintage Coca-Cola Crate Spice Rack
To be perfectly honest, when I bought this vintage Coke crate a couple weeks ago, I had no idea what I was going to do with it… maybe organizing paints… maybe displaying it somewhere… but it was just way to lovely to pass up! Then last Friday as I was baking something, and…
Book Page Canvases and Sole Hope
I posted a while back about being excited to get started on my kitchen wall art and showed a little preview of some of the supplies I got: After pondering how I wanted to give “texture” to the background of my canvases, I ended up deciding to cover them with book pages! Sorry Uncle Tom’s…
Picture Wall Progress: Laying It All Out
At the end of December I posted about finding & spray painting my 25 frames for the picture wall I wanted to create. Now I’m about half way through hanging my pictures & thought I’d share some of my progress 🙂 To arrange my pictures I traced each one onto newspaper and then labeled each corresponding…
