Several months ago I mentioned that I was writing a book. And I am finally getting a chance to work on it. I never realized how hard writing a book would be. I write articles for my site all of the time, so I thought it would be easy. But, it's not.......... I have so much information that I want to share with all of you, in the book, but I need to stay on track and share one chapter at a time. I start writing and I am all over the place! Here's a little peek at what my book is going to share. Vintage Style decorating tips, shopping tips where to find cool treasures, painting tips and more! I am hoping to have it finished by the end of October. Launch day will be around the first week of December. Thanks for waiting so patiently! ************************************** Now ... View Post
DIY Decoupage Fabric Bench
Your going to either think that this project is cool or that I have lost my mind. Either way I am sharing it ;-) I know that this project will unleash your creativity and will inspire you! I found this little bench a week ago, and I knew it would be perfect for our den. You can see the transformation HERE and HERE. Originally I was going to paint it, but the fabric was really icky. I mean gross, icky, pet hair...YUCK! So, I was thinking I would just recover it, but as I reached for the fabric, tissue paper from my stash of stuff in my studio caught my eye. Then I had a....what if I ....moment. I knew that this could turn out really cool or really bad. But hey, you never know until you try right? Oh yeah, this project was one of my Lucy harebrained ideas. Sometimes I think my ... View Post
Man Cave Brick Wall Advertising Reveal
Man Cave Before we talk about this Man cave reveal or I should call it a Man hut let me share what I did to this room before I added the advertisement wall. I added a faux brick stencil, you can read about that HERE. This room is primarily used by my husband and sadly for him, it's the only room in the house that's his. Yeah, I'm a lucky girl. So when it came time to finally doing something in this room, I couldn't make it all shabby chic and girly. I mean come on, he needs at least one room in the house that's manly right? (This is a sponsored post, and contains affiliate links) This is what the room looked like when we started. Well sort of, it didn't have disheveled furniture tossed about. It was neat and clean and really boring. It doesn't look like much of a Man cave, it's ... View Post
Healthy Meal Planning
Can you believe that school has started here already? It seems like the school year just ended and here we are at a new school year. Back to making lunches, and preparing snacks. Even though my daughter is in High School , she is not past the stage of bringing her own lunch. Unfortunately her school does not offer healthy lunches. She would rather bring her own lunch everyday. I remember making her lunch when she was small, and tucking little messages inside each day with positive and encouraging quotes. But now, each day she makes her own lunch. Yes our kitchen is at the heart of our home. It's really is the room we are in the most. From homework to meals we always seem to gravitate to the kitchen. The beginning of the school year is a reset button for us. After getting ... View Post
Brick Wall Using A Cutting Edge Stencil
Brick Wall Using A Cutting Edge Stencil Since living in our home I've totally hit a brick wall (no pun intended) when it came to decorating my husbands office. I've gone back and fourth over the years trying to figure out what to do. Since this room is primarily used by my husband I wanted to sort of create a man cave. But since it's so small, we'll just call it a man hut, which sounds so sad doesn't it. Well, no worries, he's pretty happy with his new man hut. (This is a sponsored post and contains affiliate links, please read disclosure policy) My husband is a big sports fan, but I didn't want to paint the room and stick a big fat head on his wall. Have you heard about those? They are huge photos that you can get and stick them on a wall. You can get a team logo and athlete and ... View Post
How To Create A Daily Schedule
Scheduling and staying on schedule is not an easy task. It has been a personal challenge for me balancing my days. My job wears many hats. Besides being a business woman, I am also a Mother and wife. My work days are long, and I don't have a day off. I go between working and being a mother, and all that it entails throughout my day. Besides working on projects that I write for my site, I also need to promote my business. That means spending lots of time on social media. And we all know how many social media outlets there are. It seems like they add a new one every couple of months! They do have services that offer scheduling for social media, but I still like to do most of my social media organically. But, I only have so much time in a day. Oh, and besides this site, and ... View Post
