Jewelry Frame


I've had this project in mind for quite a while and I finally got around to doing it. It was super easy because I just used an old frame that I already had and stapled some chicken wire to the back of it. Now I have the perfect spot to store/display some of my jewelry.

Entryway Bench

One of my latest projects is an old TV cabinet turned into a hallway bench with lots of storage. It took many coats of paint, but in the end I love it. I don't have room for this piece in my own entryway but  when I explained what I was working on to my brother, he said he could use it. I'm happy it found a loving home!

Burlap Wreath In Its Home

Remember my last post about the burlap wreath that I made for a friend? Here it is in its new home!


I love where she chose to put it and I can't wait to see what she does with the rest of her home.

Burlap Wreath

A friend of mine, and her fiancĂ© just finished building a new house and I made this wreath for her as a little house warming present.  I have made this style of wreath before and love it because it's super easy and always turns out great. You can see how to make this wreath in my tutorial. Here are some pictures I took of the wreath at my house before I gave it to her.

New TV Stand


We recently painted our living room light grey, which I love. The new look for the walls got me thinking that we needed a change for our TV stand. You can see the old TV stand (and yellow walls) here. I actually ended up finding a cabinet on the side of the road. I added some doors and painted it and here is how it turned out.

Mini Mason Jar Cheesecakes

 I made these mini mason jar cheesecakes for my sister's bridal shower and I had to post about them because they turned out so well! I had never made cheesecake before so I was a bit nervous about how this would go but I gave it a shot. The recipe was super easy and I would recommend this to anyone. Here is the recipe:

Bridal Shower Decorations

On Sunday, I hosted my sister's bridal shower.  I had a lot of fun setting it all up and everything went really well. Here are a few pictures of what my house looked liked decorated for the shower. I made two banners that both said "bride to be". One was made out of mason jar lids painted with chalk board paint. The other banner was made out of burlap.
