Hocus Pocus is my all-time favorite seasonal movie! Once I came to this realization, I was desperate to craft something witchy for my Halloween costume this year. Since anyone who has seen the magical movie knows it’s easy to lose track of a broomstick, I figured I’d do a little DIY breakdown of how the Sanderson sisters could have whipped …
Thrifted Planters
I love when a project I have on my list fits perfectly with something I’ve been wanting to share with you all! Abby here again and this month’s project falls into that category: My orchid has started to outgrow its original planter, and because orchids are notoriously finicky, I thought it would be fun to thrift a new planter at …
DIY: Kiddo Decorations
Feels like we are gearing up for another long winter at home, so I’ve taken to checking off projects on my list that have been taking up space in our home. I mentioned in my Floral Letter Wall Hanging post that I’ve been meaning to make a pennant banner for my youngest (similar to his brother’s) using gift bags from …
DIY Beach Bum Bag
Gather round, friends – it’s story time! I can’t remember if I’ve talked about this here before, but finding inspiration for me really is an “anything goes” type of thing. I wasn’t 100% sure what I wanted to make for you all this month, but after following along with an internet friend’s upcoming jewelry drop, inspired by the beach, and …
Easy DIY Quiet Toy for Baby
Does your baby even like real toys? Because mine just finds the tag on anything soft, and eats that, or would rather play with an empty water bottle than a ball. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now that Mr. Abner is finding his voice, I needed something quiet and yet very distracting for him to sit still with when we need to be quiet. …
Simple Summer Top DIY
Summer is such a fun time for fashion. You can get playful with your style by including cute patterns, textures, and colors in the clothing and accessories you wear and somehow it seems really natural. I’ve been especially loving all of the bell sleeves and fun trim ideas that I’m seeing in boutique stores these days (or, let’s be honest…in …
How to Reuse Glass Baby Food Jars
(or any jars for that matter!) Every time I feed my son baby food I always hesitate to throw the glass jars away- They are so stinkin’ cute and I was thinking there had to be a good way to recycle and repurpose them! There are many many ways if you do a quick google search, but here are a …
All Wrapped Up
So remember how I mentioned last month about things heating up around here – well, they are, and they continue to, but you know how some times, there is that cooler summer night, or a colder than should be normal indoor occasion (I’m looking at you, office spaces), well this craft is for these times! Abby here again, and for …
Cropped for Summer // T-Shirt Edition
Things continue to heat up around here in NE Ohio (literally, it was almost 90 today and several days in a row now), and I’m so excited for summer! Not be-cause summer dressing and style is my favorite, but because I just love summer. I’m not sure what it is about summer, but it always brings about a sense of …
Add Artistic Inspiration To Your Next Thrift Refresh
For your next upcycling project, consider tapping into the creations of world-famous artists as your design inspiration. For this blog, a run-of-the-mill pair of tall bar chairs was transformed into artistic pieces with the help of Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), a Dutch painter known for his abstract style. His paintings are simple, geographic and bold—and they look really cool in today’s …
