#FF Follow Friday Faves!

written by Lauren

follow friday, #ff

Happy Friday, everyone! In honor of the end of the work and school week, I thought I'd share with you some of my Follow Friday (#FF) faves! To start out, I love the wire heart ring tutorial by Erlene of My Pinterventures. I never thought I would try to make jewelry, but I might give her rings a try! They are so pretty, and they don't look that difficult to make! Her rings might make nice gifts for my daughters for Valentine's Day! I met Erlene through the Spring Craft Blog Hop that we co-hosted this week together! My next fave is the lace dress for winter by Carrie of Crafty Curly Mom. I Continue reading...

Sunny & Bright Living Room

*Mohawk Home provided an area rug for this makeover.  Hi, everyone! I have been loving my new living room! It has been through quite a transformation. It has gone from an unattractive area with two toy boxes and lots of toys, to a space that actually looks like a grown-up  and complete room! My kids, who are now tweens, are enjoying the more sophisticated space, too! Since friends have asked where I found  my furniture and decor for my new living room, I've decided to follow the lead of fellow blogger Abby from Just a Girl and Her Blog and create a source list for my new living room. Abby Continue reading...

*This post is sponsored by Coupons.com. I received a Target gift card from Coupons.com for this post -- the gift card helped me make my living room remodel happen. (I used the gift card towards a new accent chair!) The living room in my home has always been a family-friendly space. For most of the 11 years we’ve lived in our home, the living room has been a play space and housed only a piano, two toy boxes and some toys. Now that my children are older, I’ve taken back the space and turned it into a bright and pretty sitting room! To celebrate my home’s beautiful new room, I am Continue reading...
