Office Area Makeover with Create-ologie
September 17, 2013 by 3 Comments
We have lived in our current home for five years now, and while I have had some grand schemes for my master bedroom, it has just not been high enough on the priority list to receive much attention until now. I’m not usually a big fan of office space in a bedroom, but it became […]
Virtual Family Room Focal Wall
April 27, 2012 by 4 Comments
There are a few spots in my house that have been long due for a makeover, but busyness and indecision have kept them at a standstill. I got the opportunity to test out Olympic Paint’s ColorClix suite app that allows you to upload and virtually “paint” a room from your own home and see what […]

I was fortunate enough to be asked to host an Elmer’s “Craft and Tell” party this month. They sent me a box loaded to gills with all kinds of crafting tools and goodies! My instructions were to CRAFT and then TELL you about it. (Well there were a few more instructions than that, but you get the […]
My Advent Calendar

Ready or not, Christmas really is coming! And as my children beg each day to open their presents that we brought back from their grandparents in Utah, I am reminded of why someone came up with the idea of an advent calendar in the first place. If you are thinking about putting one together, […]

Do you remember when I went to the Arizona Tour de Thrift a couple of months ago? Well I picked up this lovely lamp at Goodwill that day. It was in great shape, and wasn’t really in need of a makeover, but when I put it in the girls room, it became obvious that the […]

One more quick paint project from the past! This was one of my first real spray painting projects, a few years back for my son’s 3rd birthday. I was so impressed with the power of the paint! I had a vision to make lunch pails as favors, and serve-ware for the construction-themed party. Any pails that were […]
