DIY Inspiration: Geometric Lights
The other day I was looking for lighting options for some of the rooms in our house, and I came across these cool geometric pendants: Left, right, both from Urban Outfitters. I remembered that I’d seen this tutorial for geometric ornaments and this one for a great plant holder, so I’m wondering if you could […]
DIY Desert Terrarium
For a while now I’ve had a little desert plant that hasn’t seemed to be doing well in my windows. I’ve tried watering it less, I’ve tried watering it more, I’ve tried different locations, and nothing has worked. It’s the kind of yellowish floppy one in the back right of the photos, and since I […]
DIY Speech Bubble Magnets Tutorial
With everything I’ve had going on lately, it’s been way too long since I’ve been able to post a new project. I’m so glad to be back to making tutorials, starting with these speech bubble magnets. They’re really easy, but would make a great gift packaged up with a few pieces of chalk or a […]
Dining Room Tour
Healing is a wonderful thing, isn’t it? I’m finally starting to feel like I can be up and about a bit more since hurting myself last week. I still can’t walk around or sit in hard chairs for very long without my back freaking out, but I can at least hold up a camera. Which […]

Last week I finished painting my living and dining rooms, and I love how they turned out. The before, with light avocado green paint, is here, and here’s the after: What a difference a little (okay, a lot) of paint can make, right? It totally changes the whole mood of the room, and makes the […]
Living Room & Dining Room Before
One of the first projects I’m tackling in our new house is repainting the living and dining rooms. They’re the first rooms you see in the house, and while neither Steven nor I hate the current color, it’s not what we would have picked out. Here’s what it looks like now: That ceiling fan/light fixture […]
Home Improvement Beginnings
Hi friends! I did make it back from Australia alive, by the way. But literally almost as soon as we arrived home we went over to our new place, and ever since then we’ve been overwhelmed with moving-related activities. Basically we have a ton of stuff to get done, and it’s complicated by the fact […]
