Of course both of my

All this week we’re helping you “shop around” for the perfect gift for your mom this Mother’s Day. Lucky for you I’ve got a one of a kind gift that you (and your mom!) will adore. It’s called a “wordle.” Okay, perhaps it has a funny name. But I promise you it’s pretty darn amazing.

Our Home Improvement Time Capsule
Have you ever seen one of these? A planter? Maybe. A catch-all? Sometimes. A conversation starter? Definitely. Every visitor that has been to our house has commented on this little black box. Questions, suggestions, jokes… we’ve heard it all, trust me. As much as we loved to hear all of the theories that our guests

How to Make a Paint Swatch Calendar
So we’ve only been at this blogging thing for a short amount of time, but we have both quickly learned that a lot of PLANNING goes into running a blog. Projects, pictures, and posts need to be prepped all.the.time. (Wow, way too much alliteration going on there!) Good thing we both consider ourselves to be

How to Create a Mason Jar Organizer

I’m sitting on a porch, drinking sweet tea, and sitting in a rocking chair. Okay, enough day dreaming. Let’s

Chevron Bookcase
Sometimes an old piece of furniture seems like it’s so ugly or plain that it has no hope for a successful DIY make-over. Take this bookcase for example. This bookshelf was a staple in my teeny-bopper bedroom. It held things that awkward pre-teen girls loved back then; like picture frames, Michael Jordan books and

Anthropologie Inspired Zinc Letters
So I have a love/hate relationship with Anthropologie. I adore all of the quirky and whimsical home decor they sell in their store. But, I’m not a big fan of their sky-high prices. So being the thrifty gal that I am…I typically browse Anthro for inspiration and try and recreate their gorgeous pieces right at
