A new sofa is due to arrive soon for my home’s living room, so I have been working on designing a new living room design scheme for our "new" living room! With the exception of a piano and some toy chests, our living room has never had much in it -- it's always been more of an open play space for the kids! Modern Living Room Design Now that my kids spend more time reading on their Kindles and playing games on their Ipods, I've decided that it's time to take back the living room! I would like to take down the heavy drapes and replace them with something more fun and colorful, Continue reading...

DIY St. Patricks Day Flag
Now that St. Patricks Day is coming up, I'm getting ready to get out some emerald green decor! But since I am spending so much time in rehab trying to get my broken wrist back up to speed, I am running a bit late. So I am sharing this cute DIY St. Patricks Day flag that I shared a year ago on the blog. With St. Patricks Day coming up, I wanted to hang a St.Patrick's Day-themed flag in my garden. But I am always surprised at how much those tiny garden flags cost. For instance, a Leprehaun hat garden flag runs about $9 at Amazon.com. So, using the leftover fabric from Continue reading...
Nest Learning Thermostat Review and Haven Blog Conference!
As you may remember, I participated in the NRG Residential Solutions Learn & ConserveSM Blogger Challenge and a Nest Learning Thermostat Giveaway with a few other local bloggers in January. Our challenge was to see which blogger could conserve the most amount of energy last month (January). To my surprise, I WON!! Winter Energy Saving My husband and are usually fairly frugal with our energy use – we try not to turn up the heat too much in the winter, we set the thermostat lower at night, and I rarely use the oven – I mostly do my baking and cooking in our Black & Continue reading...
Snickers Bars
Several of my blogger friends and I will be posting recipes this week for treats and desserts that we made with ingredients available at the dollar store. My local dollar store always has lots of Oreo cookies and Snickers candy bars on hand, so I decided to try out a Snickers and Oreo cheesecake recipe from Domestic Superhero from that I found on Pinterest. The rest of the recipe includes ingredients that I normally have stored in my fridge or my pantry. I just made one alteration to the recipe -- instead of topping my Snickers cheesecake bars with chocolate chips, Continue reading...
“Rooms Repurposed” — Making Your Home Work for You
A few months ago, I shared with you my friend Christine's awesome black and white craft room. Christine converted what might have been only a lightly used space in her home -- an area that would normally be a dining room -- and converted it into a striking craft room, complete with hand-crafted black and white decor, a card catalog for fabric storage and a highly functional sewing table. I am so excited because that room is now one of the inspiring spaces featured in Cristin Frank's new book, Rooms Repurposed: A Purposeful Home, A Purposeful Life, available on Amazon.com! What Continue reading...
Hand-Stenciled Valance
Happy Friday, everyone! I am still little bit behind on things, since I have been working on rehabbing my wrist (which I broke in January). I have been feeling a little down about the wrist (since I am not sure how the metal plate and screws will affect my wrist's mobility in the future), so I decided to share with you one of my favorite projects from last year. I sewed and hand-stenciled this valance for my home's powder room last year. I think the valance has a great message and is uplifting, since it has powerful and hopeful words like "love" and "family" stenciled on it. You should try Continue reading...
