Spruce Up Your Space
I love this time of year. Even though we’re sweating bullets by 9am here in sunny AZ, I love our hot summers! Grocery shopping is the best, fresh bbq style food in full stock, mmm. We hosted an Americana themed lunch this weekend for my brother’s family…it wouldn’t have been nearly as cute without the [...]
Today is my kids’ last day of school and I am SO excited!! I’m throwing them a surprise “Welcome Summer” swim party when they get home this afternoon.

I’m currently working on my guest bathroom but thought I would share this fun trick with you all. This is a quick DIY for Affordable Custom Bathroom Molding.
I love decorating my kid’s bedrooms. It’s so fun to pick things out according to their personalities. I showed you my 3 year old’s eclectic toddler bedroom. And a sneak peek of my son’s shared striped bedroom. Now for the (wanna-be) pre-teen, my dramatic, bubbly, silly 9 year old daughter. She picked her bed and desk colors. [...]

After painting my bathroom counter top to look like real granite, I thought I would try the same technique on plastic eggs. I google’d and pin’d the heck out of “Faux Granite Eggs” and have yet to see one tutorial on them so success: a never-been-done project which is so stinkin’ rare these days, lol! [...]

I figured you should see this lovely lady before I freshened her up with leftover paint from this project. (Color is Jackson Square by Valspar) I love this buffet. It was my great-grandma’s dining room buffet before [...]
I ♥ our family room. Besides our dining room, this is the only gathering room in the house. It’s our living room/family room/game room/scripture room/story room/teaching room, etc. It’s a very important room in our family, which is why it’s important that it’s warm and inviting. I took on the challenge to re-do this space for less [...]
Does anyone else have an outdated bathroom? When we were asked to review Giani’s Granite Paint for Countertops, I jumped at the opportunity because my guest bath was beyond outdated… it is 30 years old and was just screaming for a makeover. With the help of Giani, it gave me a kick in the pants [...]

After 10 years of marriage, I finally have a decent dresser! And man are me and the hubs both enjoying this Chippy Dresser Makeover!
I promised I would share my Choose to Shine book page wreath tut during yesterday’s post. They were actually easy to make once I nailed down the details…which was nice since I made THIRTEEN of them in one sitting!
I was recently called to serve in my church‘s Young Women presidency, which means I get to work with the female youth, ages 12-18… lots of babysitters to choose from, right? Each January we introduce the new year’s theme/goals and welcome the girls that are entering into YW. Since this year’s theme is Arise and [...]
