This project is sponsored by Fiskars I have been wanting to upgrade our mini planter bench for the last year. Our old bench that we built back in 2018, using these Ana White’s plans, was no longer able to keep up with my garden needs. After this first day, the poor table was cramped and… Continue reading Potting Bench & Garden Center

Library Ladder Install
After two years of progress in our home library we installed our custom rolling ladder this weekend. And I am in Love. It is just what we needed in the room to finish it off. I went with an aluminum style from Alacco Ladders in Southern California due to the custom extended length required. A… Continue reading Library Ladder Install
In Progress – Landing Zone
Slowly getting the house furnished and decorated. I don't want to 'settle' for the things that are going in this place, so we are taking our time. We would like for everything to be meaningful and/or purposeful. At the base of our staircase there is this little nook, perfect as a landing zone for coats… Continue reading In Progress – Landing Zone
In Progress- Tiny Hallway Makeover
Currently tackling the décor of our new home room by room. We made it a point to start in the spaces we spend the most time in or have our eyes on the most. There is a tiny hallway just off the garage entry into the house that desperately needed a face lift. The off white… Continue reading In Progress- Tiny Hallway Makeover
Operation ‘Organize All The Things’
I LOVE an organized life. I feel like our home runs smoothly when things are organized and in their place. We have had our home for 3 years now and have been putting our stamp on the place little by little. I got some really cool power tools for Christmas and couldn't wait to put 'em… Continue reading Operation ‘Organize All The Things’
Air Plants and Vintage Drawer Pulls
Been loving the new chalk board wall in the family area of our home. On Mother's day I came down and was surprised to see my husband has also found his inner artist. Notice the newest residents of the chalk board in the upper right corner.... AIR PLANTS! I have been scouring the house looking… Continue reading Air Plants and Vintage Drawer Pulls
Chalk Board Wall
One of this week's house projects was monumental. When we first moved into our home I created a memo board section on a wall near the garage entry. This awkward section of our family room was great for keys, bags, and mail. Notice the boring beige paint (which I have sworn to vanquish from the house,… Continue reading Chalk Board Wall
UPcycled – Salvaged Yard Stick Bobbin Holder
You might have noticed the recent wave of DIY-ness that we've completely immersed ourselves in. Partly because we started the year vowing to complete house projects that have been waiting almost 2 years for us to get to.... but there is more behind it for me. When my son passed in 2010, there were so many… Continue reading UPcycled – Salvaged Yard Stick Bobbin Holder
UPcycled – Metal Grates into Pin Board
Playing catch up on the blog to show everyone all the awesome projects we've been tackling at home. While working on the custom thread holder a couple of weeks ago, we simultaneously took on a memo board of sorts. Awesome transformation right?? A little background first, my crafty friend Heather and I have a favorite salvage… Continue reading UPcycled – Metal Grates into Pin Board
UPcycled – Vintage Frame Thread Holder
When I first set up my craft/sewing room I set out on the hunt for the run of the mill mini rack spool holder for my small collection of thread. Unfortunately there is not a variety of thread storage available at the big name stores. Not to mention they are not cheap! I caved and bought… Continue reading UPcycled – Vintage Frame Thread Holder
PINspiration – Be The Good Sign
This phrase has been on my mind for a long time now. Saw it first floating around on Pinterest, of course. I have plenty of empty wall space screaming at me for good ideas. I love how the "Be The Good" stands out from the whole thing! This is going to make a great daily… Continue reading PINspiration – Be The Good Sign
