DIY Etched Glass

DIY Etched Glass

January 10, 2014

It seems like everyone around me is having babies lately and because life with a newborn can be crazy and overwhelming, I’ve been cooking up some meals to take to my new mama friends. Why not make dinner just one less thing for them to think about? I’ve also taken the guesswork out of which…

Organized Junk Drawer

Organized Junk Drawer

June 13, 2012

Organizing my kitchen drawers is so therapeutic for me, despite the fact that I tend to neglect them so often. And boy, were they in need of a major overhaul. So I took some quick drawer measurements and off to Target I went to pick up some organizing bins. Ahhhh… now I can breathe again….

DIY Cute Cafe Curtains

April 23, 2012

While I was lost in Pinterest-ville, I stumbled across these adorable sunny kitchen curtains: Super cute, right? I thought so too. And that was that. I was in love. I don’t even think I’d mind doing the dishes as much if I had these cuties hanging in front of me.* So it has been decided. Out…

Upholstered Wooden Stools

Upholstered Wooden Stools

March 14, 2012

These round wooden stools went with our old dining set, which we sold on Craigslist last month: Booooring! Oh, sorry, I almost fell asleep for a second there; these stools are so hum-drum.

Organized Spices (Finally!)

Organized Spices (Finally!)

November 20, 2011

Organizing my spice rack has been on my to-do list FOR.EV.ER. So, naturally, I scoured Pinterest for ‘Pinspiration.’ Previously, it was a dark, unorganized mess and I could never find anything or I’d forget I had a certain spice and then buy duplicates. So I decided to tackle this problem once and for all. I picked…

DIY Kitchen Chalkboard

DIY Kitchen Chalkboard

August 2, 2011

So I’m just a little bit obsessed with chalkboard paint these days. I had some extra pieces of plywood collecting dust in the garage from my DIY headboard projects, so I decided to put it to fun use. 1) First, I broke out my trusty palm sander and sanded one side of the plywood (with…
