Can you believe that school has started here already? It seems like the school year just ended and here we are at a new school year. Back to making lunches, and preparing snacks. Even though my daughter is in High School , she is not past the stage of bringing her own lunch. Unfortunately her school does not offer healthy lunches. She would rather bring her own lunch everyday. I remember making her lunch when she was small, and tucking little messages inside each day with positive and encouraging quotes. But now, each day she makes her own lunch. Yes our kitchen is at the heart of our home. It's really is the room we are in the most. From homework to meals we always seem to gravitate to the kitchen. The beginning of the school year is a reset button for us. After getting ... View Post
Brick Wall Using A Cutting Edge Stencil
Brick Wall Using A Cutting Edge Stencil Since living in our home I've totally hit a brick wall (no pun intended) when it came to decorating my husbands office. I've gone back and fourth over the years trying to figure out what to do. Since this room is primarily used by my husband I wanted to sort of create a man cave. But since it's so small, we'll just call it a man hut, which sounds so sad doesn't it. Well, no worries, he's pretty happy with his new man hut. (This is a sponsored post and contains affiliate links, please read disclosure policy) My husband is a big sports fan, but I didn't want to paint the room and stick a big fat head on his wall. Have you heard about those? They are huge photos that you can get and stick them on a wall. You can get a team logo and athlete and ... View Post
How To Create A Daily Schedule
Scheduling and staying on schedule is not an easy task. It has been a personal challenge for me balancing my days. My job wears many hats. Besides being a business woman, I am also a Mother and wife. My work days are long, and I don't have a day off. I go between working and being a mother, and all that it entails throughout my day. Besides working on projects that I write for my site, I also need to promote my business. That means spending lots of time on social media. And we all know how many social media outlets there are. It seems like they add a new one every couple of months! They do have services that offer scheduling for social media, but I still like to do most of my social media organically. But, I only have so much time in a day. Oh, and besides this site, and ... View Post
Dining Room Transformed Into A Office
Dining Room Transformed Into A Office Once upon a time I had a dream about a formal dining room. My dream involved fancy dinner parties with exquisite dinnerware. Amazing conversation with my family and friends. While dining under the glimmer of a crystal chandelier, we would laugh, tell stories for hours after the meal was over. I had visions of soft candlelight, music....yeah... you get the picture right? Well, I do have many fond memories of dinners in my dining room, although, as the years have passed we have used our dining room less and less. So each day I passed my by my pretty formal dining room, I gave it a glance and walked away. Each week dusting and cleaning my pretty table set, but never using it. And with the thought of moving in the coming years, one room that I don't want ... View Post

Wow, do I have respect for all of you that do numerous YouTube videos! Especially tutorials, they are not easy. Well, I guess that's how it is when your a newbie as I am. I am planning on doing lots of videos, and the more I do these, I am sure the easier it get's. I started at 9:00 this morning and I just finished...yeah! Hours and hours went into this and it's less than five minutes long. So I hope you enjoy it ;-) I will be working on the lighting issue, and UGH my camera. That zooming in and out was not a special effect, that's just my camera. So without further adieu, here is my video tutorial on how I created my desk using Venetian Texture Medium. Please be kind, this was my first tutorial :-) ... View Post
Painted Furniture Technique Adding Patina
Painted Furniture I love painted furniture pieces, and I also love coming up with new, creative and fun ways to add texture and patina to a piece. My friend Paula came up with this idea and when I saw her painted furniture piece I nearly fell off my chair. Seriously! ***This post contains affiliate links, and this was a sponsored post, please read disclosure policy*** This is not a cool or pretty desk, it was found at a resale shop. We have many of those around here. When I spotted it my first thought was, this would make a cool table to create a faux farmhouse table. But I actually found a table that worked better for a faux farm table. You can read about that HERE. So, then I thought why not use this as a desk since it is a desk, duh! This was pretty cheap at ... View Post
