DIY CANVAS PRINTS

I received some adorable prints to add to Grayson’s new camping themed bedroom from Wildbriar Design and I wanted to use them as canvas prints vs. framing them, because let’s face it, canvas prints are just nicer! I LOVE canvas prints, but they are just so expensive! I found a tutorial on Pinterest ages ago and […]

Chalk Paint

Not sure if you have heard of Chalk Paint before, but it is my new favorite thing! I was completely clueless about how amazing this stuff is and if you google it you will find it is all the rage right now. I was contacted by Rose who owns The Sewing Loft to see if I […]

by MHSjennie July 29, 2014

I moved out when I was 18 and I still have the same small dining room set! I know right?! It has always just worked with the space in the different places I have lived so I really haven’t had a need to get something new, but with my boys always spilling drinks and food on […]

I have NO crafty abilities… I try for my kids, but that is as far as it goes! I had so much fun making the boys Wolf Costumes (NO Sewing required!) that I started getting the sewing “itch”! My goal was to be able to hem pants, sew buttons and maybe make some dress up […]

Dealing with the Big Black Box

by Jennie January 18, 2013

So my husband “surprised me” (um yes, he got it for himself, but acted like it was for me!) with a brand new t.v. for Christmas. He was ecstatic since we have had the same t.v. for at least 6, maybe 8 years. It’s a smart t.v. (whatever that means), HD, 3D, and I am […]

bedroom window before

There were several things I loved about my house when we first saw it. It was set up differently from most of the other two stories we had seen and it had a few unique design elements to it. One of them was a long window above the bed. It is beautiful and different and […]

Boring Kitchen turned FABULOSO!

by Jennie September 27, 2012

I have blogged over time how we are making our new house our own and that takes TIME! One room at a time that is! I had REALLY been wanting to do something to my kitchen since that is where I spend a lot of my time. I started with having it painted (started out […]
