Hello there! Sorry for the radio silence. We have been busy painting and alternately, spending time outside. It is finally warming up here in Wisconsin, and we are trying to make up for the hibernation of the last three months. The good news is that I have some great new projects to show you. We repainted the kitchen and eating area, so you will see a before/ after on it (even though we are no where finished with what it will ultimately be.) I have to remind myself that the house will be ... Read More about $30 DIY Dining Room Chairs
DIY Leopard Pillows
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted leopard pillows. Now they wouldn't really go in our last place so you bet I couldn't wait to put them in our new house. I have lusted after pillows like these, which I see appear all over blogs; but I could never justify paying $75 for a pillow cover. Not in our house, nor with our budget. Telling E that I needed to spend $250 on pillows for one room--not going to happen. Luckily, I found a look ... Read More about DIY Leopard Pillows
Our Living Room
So this room is by NO MEANS finished. We still have to paint all the trim, paint the walls, add curtains. But it is totally livable for now. Oh, and one day, replace the carpet.

Two great danes plus a toddler and a baby on the way in the family room (which shares the same carpet) means we are not exactly "low impact." I absolutely love this room though. I feel lucky enough just to ... Read More about Our Living Room
DIY Pom Pom Curtains
I recently reshot Bowie's room so the pictures above are the updated ones, and the ones below are the original. I am happy to say that I have learned a bit about photography in the past ten months! Next to painting, window treatments can really change a room. Luckily for us, this sucker was a pretty inexpensive DIY. The curtains themselves were cheap, and the curtain rings would have been if I hadn't messed up at Ikea. The ceilings in our house aren't particularly ... Read More about DIY Pom Pom Curtains
Chiang Mai Look Alike DIY Ottoman
And the beautiful before... Check out that sweet fabric. It is so nice being reminded to eat your veggies while sitting on the couch and putting your feet up. You know, healthy reminders right? Maybe I should have kept it...KIDDING! And the after some spray paint and fabric...much better, no? You can see it here too in the finished living room in the daylight. It isn't perfect for the ...
