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...
DIY Bird Bath from a Clay Pot
It's been a few weeks since I planted my flower garden. Now that my garden is complete, I have been loving it! While the garden has been a haven for me, I've been hoping that the garden would also be a welcome place for birds as well. My kids and I love to bird watch! The garden has lots of phlox, which I've heard can attract hummingbirds. I would love that! Sunflowers are also said to attract birds. But although my sunflower plant is big, it hasn't flowered yet! I am hoping to get a sunflower or two soon! DIY Bird Bath for the Garden I Continue reading...
Black and White Craft Room Design
Last month, I shared photos of my friend Christine's fabulous dining room turned craft room. I think her new craft room design is just amazing!

Striped Chalkboard Paint Wall
This past spring, I created a fun hangout / study space / playroom for my kids in an upstairs hallway. The hallway used to have a big desk in it that nobody in my family was using and bare, white walls. So I decided to make the large hallway into a cool space my kids could use. A new feature of the wall is our a striped chalkboard paint wall. I painted a green accent wall, added a fun wall decal and added some beanbag chairs and a TV. Now, my daughters like to play and read on their Kindles and watch TV in the new hangout space / playroom. I also moved their Calico Continue reading...
Curbside Garden
The weather has been hot here in New Jersey, but that hasn't stopped me from doing some gardening! The other day I got it in my head to beautify the strip of grass that lies between the curb and the sidewalk at the front of the house. I mean, what is that little bit of grass for, anyway? It's a pain to mow and all that really grows there are weeds and crabgrass. Not pretty. So while the kids were playing on the Slip N Slide the other day, I got out a shovel and removed the grass -- I was surprised at how quickly the grass came up. I then planted a flat of impatiens that I Continue reading...
Glam Party Room
The other day, my daughters went to a fun party with friends at a local place called Pinky Toes Party Palace in Robbinsville, NJ. At the party, they got manicures and pedicures, had a mini tea party (and learned some tea-time etiquette) and danced with their friends. The party place had the cutest decor! I loved the cute dining table that the party place set up for the kids (below). I thought the simple but cute covers on the chairs are adorable. I love the black painted walls up top and the cool flowers painted on the walls. The glamorous chandelier is also a fun Continue reading...
Black and White Craft Room Design
Do you have a space in your home that’s not being used to its full potential? My friend Christine did, so she turned it into a rocking craft space! Dining/Living Space Turned Craft Room The space she converted into her craft space is just off her home’s kitchen and would normally be used as a dining or living room area. But Christine, who does wonders with a sewing machine (she created a beautiful parade banner for our Girl Scout troop) and is quite handy (she built a dollhouse for her daughter with working lights), decided the space would work better as her crafting area. The craft Continue reading...
