Canvas art is a definite obsession love of mine (see here for lots of proof of that)–it’s easy, it’s versatile, and the finished product always looks much more expensive than the price of the few materials it took to create it. Today’s canvas creations are no exception I wanted to replace the three prints we have …
No matter what the temperature outside currently is, the fact is indisputable, Spring is right around the corner! And that, of course, means warmer weather, blooming flowers, longer days and, of course, spring cleaning.

Thank you to BLACK+DECKER for sponsoring this discussion and inspiring me to finish this project! Let’s talk today about something that all of our homes, no matter the size, style or location, have in common–the unfinished project.

A few years ago, we decided to put up a long picture rail on our large family room wall. Just last weekend, I decided to update it! I switched out all of the burlap ribbon with black grosgrain ribbon, switched out some photos/art, and added a couple small accents. I think the contrast from the black …
You guys…you all have no idea how long this wall in the bedroom has been “in progress.” And I’m so glad to have it done. You can see more pictures of our bedroom on my Home Tour page; but, today, it’s this wall that I want to show off. I’ve been asked about how I …

The laundry room is a veritable workhouse as far as your home goes, isn’t it time to pretty it up and show it some love? And these hexagon decals are not only fun …
Hello and Happy Tuesday! I’m currently working on sprucing up our bedroom, and I wanted an inexpensive piece of art to display on our dresser. I LOVE the confetti trend that’s out there now–it’s fun, it’s festive, and, most importantly, even a non-artist like myself can do it, so I came up with this simple, …
I recently shared my craft room makeover with you all, and one of my favorite parts of the space is my updated office chair in shades of pink, gray and white. I don’t know why, but I’ve been drawn to pink more lately, and I’ve especially been drawn to it in this space, that is …
