    The [Table] Search is Over

    I’ve been on a search for over a year. You see, our dining table just wasn’t cutting it in the space department. It was totally fine for our family’s purposes. But we love to have friends over for meals and found ourselves frequently seating people in other areas of our home. Not a huge problem…

    DIY :: picture holder from a large frame

    Several months ago, a friend of ours moved away to New Jersey. She was on her way to donate some home decor items and asked if I wanted to shop her car before she left. One of the things inside her lovely “car shop” was this large 2′ x 4′ picture. When she asked Jonathan…

  • Kids’ Room :: Global Adventure

    Kids’ Room :: Global Adventure

    It was probably about 6 months ago when Jonathan and I re-painted our kids’ room. You might remember this flowering branch wall art I created for my little girl several years ago? Yeah. I was over it. So we solved that by painting over it and placing our Ikea storage unit where the wall art + changing table…

    DIY World Map Wall Art

    Oh, by the way, we painted a world map on our wall. I debated about even posting this home tidbit, because: 1) We did this over a year ago (right before Miles was born) & 2) I had a hard time taking a good picture of the room. But I figured this might be an inspiration to…

    my new pallet shelf

    I teased you in January that we had a bit of a DIY project in the works. Without further ado, meet my new pallet shelf: I was completely inspired by this picture from Ana White and thought I could make this with actual pallets because hello…free wood. When I mentioned the idea to Jonathan, he was somewhat…

    Storage Bin Options {for Kallax/Expedit}

    I mentioned on facebook that I was crushing on the 16 cube Kallax system from Ikea: Post by Brown Sugar Toast. My goal is to get something to replace a small bookshelf {that is overloaded with books} & changing table/storage unit in my kids’ room. I’m also realizing that I need more clothes storage for my boys –…

    pictures that could nominate me for hoarders.

    Last week, I mentioned that I was purging my home of unnecessary items. AKA junk. It ended up being a process that lasted pretty much the whole week. Part of that was due to my 3 sweet children. You know, they kinda wanted to eat and play during the great purge. Imagine that?! And my…
