The Alabama Chair

April 29, 2010

You all cheered with me when I found this cute chair a couple weeks ago yardsaling for $15. Didn’t really know where I’d put it, since I don’t have spare room around my house. But, I couldn’t resist and brought it home anyway. And this recent conversation with my hubby prompted a FUN chair makeover, [...]

Living Room Updates

April 20, 2010

You’ve seen the salon wall with the gold table underneath. Several of you said I must get rid of that table, that it just wasn’t big enough. But, you know what? I like it a lot and think it fits that wall just perfectly. I can’t have anything really wide in this walk-way, there’s just [...]

The Down & Dirty on the Stair Project

April 13, 2010

Here’s how it all started. Ripping that carpet off, one step at a time. Unearthing all the ugliness that was hiding beneath. Our builder certainly never meant for these stairs to be shown, that’s for sure. And like I mentioned, if I had any delusions of something nice lurking beneath this mess of carpet, that [...]

Recently, I met Mollie when she did a giveaway for me of a custom stamp from The Paper Cafe and she is the delightful lady behind this cute business. She showed me pics of her adorable cottage in Annapolis, MD and I just loved it. So, I asked her if I could show it off [...]

Ripping Ugly Carpet off the Stairs

April 7, 2010

That title just about sums up this entire post. And this one nearly made me hang up my DIY Diva toolbelt. Not really, but this just might be my most challenging DIY project yet. If I had any sense at all, I would never have torn the carpet off the steps, but I don’t and [...]

A DIY Shower Curtain

December 29, 2009

What do you get when you mix a roll of brown and white grosgrain ribbon with a waffle weave extra-long shower curtain? Something really special and pretty for a newly done bathroom. I found this ribbon at Hobby Lobby and after seeing this Target extra-long shower curtain that Young House Love used in their bathroom, [...]

Woodsy Walk & DIY Mossy Wreath

December 21, 2009

Our neighborhood is literally surrounded by woods. Deep and forestlike, those woods hold a lot of interesting views and nature scenes. Me and the hubby enjoy walking in the woods and there are trails all over the place, so we could literally walk for hours, up and down the hills and valleys nestled back in [...]

Christmas Floating Candles

November 23, 2009

One of the easiest things to do for a Holiday centerpiece or tablescape is floating candles. I mentioned how easy these are to put together and when I show you, you’ll understand JUST how easy they are. Nothing to them. I’ve had my candle cylinders for a few years now, in 3 different sizes. But, [...]

Making Candy Christmas Trees

November 21, 2009

Before the Holiday House opened, we had a craft day and several of us got together and made these candy trees. I wish I had taken my camera that day and gotten all the “in process” pics for you, but I totally forgot it. But, I know that many of you might like to try [...]
