Easy Window Valances When my teen daughters were tots, I had custom window coverings made for the windows on the main floor of our home. The style of those window coverings were much fussier than the type of style I like in my home these days, so I took those window Continue reading...
Spring Guest Bathroom Valance
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #CleanRippleStyle #CollectiveBias With spring finally here, I've been into spring cleaning and decorating mode! One thing I decided to tackle was updating my home's guest bathroom. To make my home guest ready, I stocked my guest bathroom with needed supplies. I also made a pretty valance for the bathroom window! When I have guests over, I like to make sure they have everything they need. In the bathroom, I keep a basket of extra toilet paper on hand.

No Sew DIY Curtains
*Thanks to Premier Prints for supplying the fabric for this project! This post contains affiliate links. I have always found it difficult to find the perfect curtains to fit my style and my space. Not to mention trying to fit my daughters' styles! So, when my daughters' both got new bedrooms this past summer, I decided that I would make custom curtains for each of their rooms. (My kids had been sharing a room until then, and are excited about decorating their new rooms!) One of my daughters picked a coral and pink color scheme for her room. She has a beautiful warm soothing orange color Continue reading...
New Living Room Design
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...
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...

So, before launching my new projects for 2014, I am going to share the best of what I accomplished in 2013! Here is my 2013 Mom Home Guide Year in Review. Burlap Crafts Burlap was popular in 2013, so like many crafters, I jumped onto the burlap bandwagon in 2013. It was fun! Two of my favorite burlap crafts I completed was my stenciled no-sew burlap valance for my home's downstairs powder room, and my no-sew fringed burlap table runner. Both projects were problem solvers, as I was having Continue reading...
Stenciled Burlap Curtain
Lately, I've been noticing beautiful stenciled burlap curtains and projects on Pinterest and on other blogs. I especially like the stenciled burlap pillows that I found on blog, Ugly Duckling Transformations -- beautiful! So I decided to make a stenciled burlap curtain for my home's downstairs bathroom -- the bathroom that guests to our home usually see. Faux Stenciled Burlap Curtain I like the look of burlap, but I wanted my stenciled burlap curtain to look a little more modern, so I chose a heavy but smooth piece of scrap fabric from my local Joann Continue reading...
