If you follow me regularly here or on any of my social media channels, you know that we have been slowly working on fixing up our house. And I mean slowly! Sometimes we start out with the best of intentions, like finishing up the rest of our kitchen backsplash, but then we wonder if we should paint our cabinets first, which leads us to how dark our kitchen is and discussing ripping out some cabinets and putting a window in, and, of course, that takes outside help and we have to wait for an ...

Valentine’s Heart Canvas
We're celebrating Valentine's Day for this round of Craft Lightning and I have a quick and easy Valentine's Heart Canvas for you. If you aren't familiar with Craft Lightning, here's the rundown: we create crafts that take fifteen minutes or less, excluding drying time. That's it! I came up with this heart canvas idea because I think of Valentine's Day as a fun kid holiday. Sorry--no mushy romance here! My girls love it and keep asking me when we're going to start decorating, so I'm surprising ... Read More
Update Your Curb Appeal with Modern Masters
This post contains sponsored content. We've been working on curb appeal this year. It's a long-term job, but with a lot of small projects, the overall look is getting so much better.

So, our most recent task was to paint them. I'm going to show you how easy it is to update your curb appeal with Modern ... Read More
Golden Stenciled Bedroom Wall

I simply cannot get enough gold right now and am loving using it as a feature wall color (remember Madeline's gold striped wall?!), so it should surprise no one that I've gone back to my tried and true Modern Masters ...

Rainbow Painted Kitchen Set
We've been on an ongoing mission to make our house lighter, brighter, and more colorful. While we're doing that, we need to make sure it's kid-friendly. Our kitchen is dark and we're limited on what we can do with it right now (i.e. we can't replace the current black granite countertops at the moment), but during a wander at IKEA, the perfect kitchen table jumped out at us and we couldn't pass it up. With a bit of paint, our kitchen has become a much happier place. We weren't looking for ... Read More
Beaded Key Necklace
You know how sometimes you're wandering JoAnn's and you see something that you absolutely need even though you don't immediately know what you're going to do with it? I was recently wandering the jewelry section and came across this key and it needed to come home with me. It didn't take me long to make this Beaded Key Necklace. **This post contains affiliate links.** I used: twist key pendant in bronze colored copper wire in fuchsia wooden beads paint in grey storm foam ...
