The time was approaching…my baby girl was getting bigger and we would no longer need the crib anymore….NOOOOOOO! 😩 I wasn’t reeeaaaddyyyy!

After… Continue reading Simple DIY Hanging Planter

And let’s face it, I was kinda bored without them home anyway. (See the full refresh with before and after pictures here). A… Continue reading DIY Wood Wall Art

This is what it looked for a few years. It doubled as another sitting room and a playroom. This phase worked for… Continue reading Playroom Refresh
This summer I was determined to start the process of adding more function and curb appeal to our front porch.
