Spruce Up Your Space
As you know, we tore down our 100 year old house… wah! It was an adorable little home, well loved and very lived in. I cried many tears over my decision but have accepted the reality and am now excited to custom build my dream home with our 2 boys in mind, making it super kid and [...]
I am so excited to makeover my master bedroom. Did you know it’s too common that homeowners decorate their master bedroom last when moving into a new home? This rings true for me, unfortunately. I have completed my girls’ bedrooms (tween girl room, toddler girl room), the guest bath, dining room, family room and recently, [...]
So you know when you go out of town and stay up ’til 5am chatting with other women and forget all your home responsibilities? And you sort of forget you were supposed to have all your crafts prepped since you’re going to be on a LIVE news segment the morning after you get back? Oh no, [...]
We did some more Grandwill shooooopping! (If you don’t click over, a recap is we helped clean out our grandparent’s house in DC and inherited many of their old goods, get it? GRANDwill instead of Goodwill!?) What do you think below belonged to my grandparents? If you say CORKS, you’re right! If you also said [...]
UTAH OR BUST! We are both in Lehi, UT right now attending the oh-so-fun SNAP! blog conference surrounded by fellow creative bloggers. We’re taking time away from our littles and crazy busy jobs as full time moms and although it’s bittersweet to leave them (one of us may have shed tears walking away from the crib [...]
My 10 year old is the most unorganized child I know. And I have over 40 nieces and nephews under age 14 so that’s a pretty good range of kids to gauge. When I write down “clean room” on her chore list, she rolls her eyes and says “But Ma-uhm! I like my room messy, [...]
I recently discovered the cutest blog and was inspired by her kitchen simplify. Like…so inspired that I loaded up my 3 year old and bought everything I needed on the spot inspired. Guess what? It’s been 3 months and I’ve kept my fridge clean. SHOCKING for those that know me, I know. My hubby and [...]
My toddler is obsessssssed with play dough and of course, it’s the messiest activity known to mothers, not to mention a hassle to store. Plastic bags wear, Tupperware is bulky and the original containers they come in aren’t that sturdy, (my 2 year old has been known to crack them! lol) I have had this [...]
I love the end result of this cupboard door serving tray. When I was describing it to Kristi, she gave me a sideways glance…you know the one your mom used to give you in high school whens she was suspicious of you? Yep, that’s the look Kris gave me. I tried telling her that upcycling [...]
Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you all had a fab Easter weekend!! If you saw our IG’s (Kelli + Kristi) you know that we were lucky to spend it with our little families. We are grateful for our Savior and to have spent a day remembering the Atonement and His resurrection. We are blessed! To kick [...]
I’ve talked about how my awesome neighbors give me their goods before they haul it off to the dump or donation center. My family is the same, they know I love trash to treasure projects. My uncle recently renovated his kitchen and gave me his old cupboard doors, all 45 of them. And I’m not talking old junky [...]
Hi guys! Today I’m sharing a quick before and after turquoise beauty. I found this magazine rack at Goodwill for $3.99 and although I didn’t have a place for it, I thought the price was right so why not? I shared some spray painting tips last year but this distressing technique on this piece wasn’t sanded [...]
What a chilly weekend we had here in Arizona! Brrr! Hoping the last of the snow fell but I sure do appreciate all of your suggestions I asked on FB for some good TV series and new movies to catch up on while we hid away in our little bungalow. It was nice to be [...]
As promised, today I’m sharing my easy burlap doily bunting. It’s actually two separate buntings that I hung from the same vintage tacks but I love them combined. You’ll be surprised how inexpensive the supplies were and how easy it was to make! I love the vintage flair it gives off in my newly finished herringbone bookcases in my [...]
