It’s super simple! Here’s how to do it…. I knew I needed something large on either side of our T.V. console to not only bring symmetry but to balance the entire room. I’m a lover of chalkboard art, but to buy two ready made pieces at the size I needed would have been crazy expensive, [...]

I always love testing out new things. Whether it’s a new recipe, new tool, or in this case… craft products. A few weeks ago I was chosen along with a handful of other bloggers to try out the products in the Martha Stewart glass painting program. As soon as I opened the box, I knew exactly [...]

For about 3 years now I have only been using goats milk soap and have noticed a big {good} difference in my skin, but unfortunately it’s been kind of pricey at $5-7 a bar. So what’s a girl supposed to do? Make my own of course, and with V-Day quickly approaching I thought I’d put [...]

FauxBoisCover

Faux Bois has been around the blogisphere for quite some time. I wasn’t particularly a fan of the look until recently when I saw this gorgeous oversized cylinder vase at Marshalls. It was gold, glittery, and with a $49.99 price tag to boot. On further inspection I realized I could totally copycat it, so that’s [...]
