Ahhhh….summer is here at last! I’ll be honest with you, though, in my part of the world that warm weather usually comes with humidity, so I’m as thankful for air conditioning as I can be. Even in a climate controlled house, though, I really like our rooms to reflect the seasons. While browsing Pinterest, I came across this gorgeous room that seemed like a perfect reflection of summer.
Destiny is back with a simple side table she made with some items she had laying around the house. Those are the best kind of projects because that usually means free or very cheap. I love how she made a cute little side table out of a candlestick and an old tabletop, perfect for her quiet place away from the noise of life.
Welcome to Day 2 of the 2013 Summer Tour of Homes. Thank you to Gina from Shabby Creek Cottage for wrangling all of us creative gals and organizing this tour – it is like herding cats I tell you. The way this tour works is you start at Shabby Creek Cottage’s home and at the bottom will be the next home to gawk at admire and so on and so forth. At the end of the week you should be able to see 25 amazing bloggers’ homes. Today is Day 2 and I am the first stop on this tour. So let’s get this ball rolling…
I have a deep love affair with kitchen gadgets, kitchen tips and tricks and storage essentials. Back in October, after trying to find a certain spice in my crammed-full-of-crap spice cabinet, a whole shelf fell sending about 20 spice bottles flying out of my cabinet – one of which fell on my foot. OUCH! So that prompted me to ask my Facebook fans how they organize their spices. One of you mentioned the YouCopia SpiceStack 
Carmel from our Fifth House is back today sharing a super simple outdoor project that is sure to add some fun and whimsy to your outdoor spaces! Making a couple of tiered planters adds height and color to your porch or deck.
As part of the bird and branches baby shower I threw for my friend Aimee, I cut up some old tree limbs I found curbside and made them into place card holders that doubled as photo holders after the shower. I am digging bringing some natural elements into my home lately so I saved a few for myself.
I threw a bird and branches baby shower for a friend last weekend. It was a very inexpensive theme because I was able to use a lot of outdoor elements for free. Check out all the sweet little details I added to make this shower spectacular.
