Christmas Cards with Minted
Do you send out holiday cards every year? We do and we have a little too much fun with it. Take a look at our Christmas card from a few years ago. Ridiculous, I know. And creepy. Sleep well, friends. By the way, I’m still determined to single-handedly bring back the side ponytail. It’ll happen. #goals This…
Build Something: DIY Bathroom Shelf
Hi friends! Happy hump day! If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you’ve already seen sneak peeks of this project. The blank wall space above our garden tub was in desperate need of… something.

Stocking Stuffers for the DIYer
I don’t know about you, but stocking stuffers are usually an afterthought for me. I put all of my brain power into getting the perfect Christmas gifts, that I forget all about filling the stockings too. I’m usually rummaging through the Target dollar spot at the last minute, just to fill our stockings with useless crap. So I’ve put…
Favorite Photography Gear
Hello and happy Monday friends! Last Friday I filmed a Periscope broadcast on photo styling and in the ‘scope, I mentioned I’d be linking to the photography gear that use. I am not a professional photographer or stylist (in a traditional sense – I mean, I get paid to style and take photos for this blog, but I’m not,…
DIY Restoration Hardware-Inspired Wood & Steel Console
Ever since I laid eyes on this Restoration Hardware wood & steel console, it’s been on my “To Build” list. I am happy to say, it’s finally moved from “To Build” to “BUILT!” Most times I’ll write down a task, just so I can cross it off the list, like “feed children” or “take shower.” Obviously, I don’t…

Scrap Wood Challenge: DIY Rustic Lanterns
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday full of family, friends, and food babies! I’m still recovering from mine.

A Casual and Elegant Thanksgiving Table
Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week?! I am so excited; this is quite possibly my favorite holiday. You just can’t go wrong when you devote an entire day to food. Oh, and to being grateful.

DIY Twin Platform Bed
Do you have an hour and about $30 bucks to burn? Because that’s all it took for my latest project. This build was actually never on the list – it was a last-minute-fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants project because I wanted to get my son’s new mattress off of the floor. Amazing what a little Mom Guilt will do to a girl, right?…
The Dream Bed
Welp. I’m done for. My youngest baby – my 3-year-old son – just transitioned from his toddler bed into his big boy bed and I am finished. I’m done for. Seriously, I don’t know how I’m going to handle the rest of my life as a parent. It’s so hard, right? They just grow up way…

How To Stencil A Concrete Rug
Now that the weather’s finally cooling off (hallelujah!), we’re able to spend a lot more time outdoors. Fall is my favorite season because with it comes sweaters, scarves, boots, pumpkin spice lattes, s’mores out by the fire pit, and a stunning display of red, gold, and yellow foliage. And for us Alabamians, it also means we get…
