A living room gallery wall with many homemade items

Living Room Gallery Wall — Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop

By

  Welcome to the March Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you, too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! So this month,  I chose to update my living room gallery wall. A few years ago I created a simple living room gallery wall. I used Command strips and hooks to hang the items on my gallery wall. The Command products are easy to hang and also make it easy to swap out the items on my living room gallery wall as inspiration hits. I've pinned many living Continue reading...

Spring Living Room Update on a Budget

All opinions are mine alone. #GladeFineFragranceMist #CollectiveBias My living room is the first space guests see when entering my home. I like to have it at its best at all times. I recently decided to give my living room an inexpensive update for the new year. I’ve found several simple ways to freshen up the space without spending a lot of money. One way I create a new look is by updating the throw pillows on the sofa. I regularly sew easy budget envelope pillow covers for my sofa’s pillows. These throw Continue reading...

Easy Envelope Pillow Covers for Spring

By

Now that spring is almost here, I thought I'd share a past project here on Mom Home Guide that is a great way to update your space for spring -- easy envelope pillow covers. With minimal sewing skills and just a little cash, you can update the throw pillows in your living room family room. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. I got my new living room sofa a few years ago (before then, the room was nearly a blank room), and since then, I love dressing it up! With spring around the corner, I just had to make new spring envelope pillow covers for my sofa's throw pillows! The above Continue reading...

Wood Slice Valentine’s Day Tokens

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. TGIF, everyone! I am so happy that the weekend is nearly here! This week has been quite a busy one, so I thought I'd share a mini project I completed this week! Earlier this week I shared my tutorial for my Scrappy Valentine's Day Wreath. The wreath was really quite thrifty since I repurposed leftover craft materials from Christmas. It doesn't always work out when I create a craft project out of supplies I already have on hand, so I'm excited about how my wreath turned out! I  even used a bow from a gift basket my family received on this Continue reading...

The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen!

Lace and Ivy Boho Christmas Wreath

By

Thanks to UglyChristmasSweater.com for providing the sweater for the ugly Christmas sweater giveaway. Welcome to the 12 Months of Wreaths blog hop! Today my blogging friends and I will each be sharing a DIY homemade wreath for the holiday season. Since the holiday season can be so rushed and busy, I decided to simplify things for my own wreath. I went with a simple natural/bohemian look that I crafted with just a few things from my local dollar store. For my wreath, I combined the idea of a traditional ivy/grapevine wreath with a dreamcatcher look to create a calm, simple wreath for the Continue reading...

Earlier this week, I've shared some of the ways I've decorated my home for fall this year and previous years. I do a lot of decorating, so I still have a lot of fall decor ideas to share!

Fall Decorating Ideas

Happy Monday, everyone! I love fall decorating. So far this season, I've decorated my living room console table for fall, and have made a DIY fall welcome sign for my home's front porch. I'd love to do some more fall decorating. But before I do, I thought it would be fun to share some of the ways I've decorated my home for fall this year and previous years. My DIY fall welcome sign is my most recent fall decorating project. I made the sign with some wood, chalk paint and crafting supplies I already had on hand. In all, this decor project only took me about an hour! Last year I Continue reading...

DIY Fall Gallery Wall

By

I love decorating my home for the seasons. My decor isn't always planned -- sometimes I go where my whims take me. Recently, a trip to my local Target store spurred a new DIY fall gallery wall in my home's living room! For me, my home is one big craft/art project! Luckily my hubby doesn't complain about it much. When I shop at Target, I love stopping at my local store's dollar spot area. On one recent trip, I was lucky enough to snag an inexpensive blank pallet-style wooden sign, a wooden "Family" cutout, some silver and gold fall-themed transfer stickers, and some wooden autumn leaves. I Continue reading...

Fall Bucket List Jars – Yogurt Jar Crafts

Today I am joining some of my blogging friends in sharing fall crafts made with glass yogurt jars! For my craft, I used two glass yogurt jars to create two fall bucket list jars. I hope to use the jars to track fun fall activities that my husband, kids and I want to do together this autumn. The jars are filled with pretty wooden pumpkin-shaped tokens on which we can write the fun things we want to do this fall. (Like bake a homemade apple pie!)

fall living room with colorful DIY pillows

Styling a Sofa with Throw Pillows

By

I love to decorate my home. I especially like making new throw pillows or sewing throw pillow covers for the pillows on my living sofa. That's because I've discovered that switching out the throw pillows in a room is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to decorate a room.     For instance, the above photo shows how I decorated my home's living room last fall. The colorful blue and yellow patterned pillows are the brown thrown pillows that came with the sofa -- I simply covered them with DIY envelope pillow covers. (Check out my envelope pillow cover tutorial for more Continue reading...

I love changing the throw pillows on my living room's sofa. The room is the first room when entering my family's home.
