DIY Moss Letter for Spring Last week I shared my Spring mantel inspired by Magnolia Market's crafty Spring idea. To complete the fresh look of the mantel I added a DIY Moss letter. They are silly easy to make. And pretty inexpensive. Most people buy letters to cover. Then you have to buy the moss. And that starts to add up. Plus you have to find the right size letter, in the font you want...this easy project turns into a goose chase. I didn't want to hunt for a pre-made letter. ... continue reading...

Magnolia Market – Is it worth the drive?
About a year ago my family took a road trip to Waco, Texas to play. We went to the zoo and did fun stuff, but my underlying motive was to visit the Magnolia Market store. We were loving their hot new show and wanted to see about all the fuss in real life. My husband grew up in Waco so it was fun to drive around with a "local" and see the changes, old houses and fun shops. But my eye was on making it to that store. The little one on Bosque. It was a postage stamp size store. Small, cute, ... continue reading...
Hidden In Our Hearts
This year (2016) I felt a strong call to step up the task of hiding God's word in my heart. And helping my family do the same. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11 Anyone who knows me in person knows my memory is HORRIBLE! It's a serious problem, my mom and I are similar in this regard and we continually make jokes about our lack of retention. But the truth is, how are you going to follow God if you don't know Him AND His word? You can't follow ... continue reading...

Soooo...you're gonna have to follow me down the rabbit trail of why this piece makes me think of ... continue reading...
It’s Not All About Paint: Add Fabric To Your DIY
It's true that I will paint just about anything that sits still long enough. There is hardly a more transforming, affordable, game changer substance available than paint. But...every once and a while you need a little somthin' extra. A little oomph. Today fabric was the added interest my project needed. Here's how it worked: Last summer I scooped up these sweet little tulip candle sticks from a North Carolina thrift shop. I think they were two bucks. I knew they would be perfect for ... continue reading...

1960’s DIY Side Table Makeover With Homemade Chalk Paint
Give an old 1960's side table a makeover using my homemade chalk paint recipe. When this little 1960's beauty caught my eye I was really thinking it would be great fun for a kid's room. A little side table makeover was in order. Labeled $15 at a thrift store, it was actually half price day and I got it for eight bucks! Then it sat outside my house for the last four months or so and I devised a different plan for it. I have Christmas to thank. The house reconstruction once the ... continue reading...
