My Valentine’s Day Console Table

written by Lauren

This beautiful gold love heart ornament is perfect for Christmas or Valentine's Day

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. This weekend, I worked on taking down my family's Christmas trees. I only got some of the work done! At first, I didn't want to take them down - I love how pretty they are - and then everyone in my family got sick! We are still recuperating. Among my family's many Christmas ornaments are some beautiful heart ornaments that my husband has given to me. Every Christmas my husband gives me at least 1 new heart Christmas ornament. This year, my husband gave me a whole box of heart ornaments!  I wanted to enjoy my heart ornaments a little longer. Continue reading...

My Favorite 2018 Projects

written by Lauren

Favorite Mom Home Guide projects of 2018.

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. I received products from Keter in exchange for my completely honest review. Last week, I shared which projects here on Mom Home Guide were most popular with readers in 2018. Now that the New Year is here, I would like to share the projects I completed in 2018 that I'm most proud of. 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...

written by Lauren

Friday Five Mom Home Guide

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. Happy Friday, everyone! This week flew by so quickly, but I'm not complaining that the weekend is here! Today I'm sharing a Friday Five, a quick roundup of what I've been up to lately. Waterproof Dog Boots My family and I have owned our Shih Tzu puppy, Mochi, for about 8 months now. We’ve learned that puppies can be messy! Our house is filled with carpeting, so I’m always looking for ways to keep the floors clean. I recently received two sets of Pawz Water-Proof Dog Boots (in extra small). The boots go on relatively easily (after I got the hang Continue reading...

Decorating a Living Room Bay Window

written by Lauren

Beautiful window seat with a colorful thrown and stenciled pillows

I received the pillows described in this post for free in exchange for my honest review. A few years ago my husband and I had a bay window installed in our living room. For a while, I was unsure as to how to dress up the window. I have been meaning to make a custom window seat cushion for the space, but haven't gotten around to it yet! In the meantime, I've found a much easier (and quicker) way to dress up a bay window. At first, I only had a simple cushion that I had sewed on the window seat. At the time, the cushion matched the color scheme of the curtains that I had in the Continue reading...

Living Room Gallery Wall — Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop

written by Lauren

A living room gallery wall with many homemade items

  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...

Easy Envelope Pillow Covers for Spring

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...
