Reading corner in our playroom
I have always wanted my boys to enjoy reading. I love children’s books, vintage ones, new one, I LOVE books!! Today my youngest two boys and I worked on making a little reading corner in their playroom. I wanted to make it a fun, whimsical place to sit read books and use their sweet imaginations! I found those two darling children’s chairs a few weeks back for just $6 each!! These chairs are really quite small, too small for my boys to sit on so I knew that I would hang them on a wall as shelves somewhere. The playroom was a perfect place for them to hang to hold…

Boys Room Decor ~
My oldest son has a love for all things science! Yesterday I finally got around to finishing this desk, this was the desk of my dad when he was a boy! I can just picture my dad sitting at this desk as a young boy doing his homework, and now it is where my son will be doing his homework. I love using things around my home that have sentimental value, those are the things that really make my heart happy! I stained the desk in “dark walnut”. The chair is painted in Valspar “peek-a-boo blue” in eggshell, and finished with Valspar antiquing glaze. Loving the vintage ruler that I…

Keeping cut hydrangeas fresh
I love hydrangeas, they are seriously a favorite flower of mine, but for some reason hydrangeas droop and wilt so quickly for me. Here is a picture of some hydrangeas and ranunculus the first day that I got them. Happy flowers!! And the very next morning… To revive these beauties, cut an inch or so off the bottom of the hydrangea stem. Boil some water and place it in a container that you can place the bottom inch of the hydrangea stems in. Leave the stems in the hot water until the water is at room temperature. Then place the flowers back in your arrangement, if they haven’t perked back…

Personalized Copper Garden Stakes
Who isn’t excited for spring to really get started? No more of these sunny days, followed by a cold snowy day….I am so excited!!! Today was too cold, cloudy, and rainy to go outside, so I decided to Target. While looking through the dollar spot, I found these darling copper garden stakes just waiting to be personalized. And for just $3 for six stakes! I wrote “spring” on two stakes with a sharpie and punched holes in another stake using an awl and hammer. Last year we made raised beds for our vegetables and herbs, I can hardly wait to use personalized stakes in my herb garden this year! They…

Not your average no-sew drop cloth curtains
Who hasn’t heard of the no-sew drop cloth curtains? It seriously seems like everyone is making them, or has made them. I have to think it is because they are not only inexpensive and easy to make, but also because they are really cute and versatile. First, I gathered my supplies. I bought the curtain rods and drapery clips from hobby lobby. I bought the drop cloths from Home Depot. I decided to get the “heavy duty” drop cloths instead of the normal one just because I wanted my curtains to have a little more weight to them. Make sure to measure your windows first so you can get the…
