This one’s for you Amy! Here’s a little bit of what I’ve been up to lately. Painting, painting, and more painting! I can’t wait to be done! We still have lots of baseboards to rip out and all of the windows to paint, ugh. Yesterday I did manage to whip up a pillow with some leftover fabric and an old down pillow insert. Total cost – $1, spent on the wood button. SCORE! Anywho, here are some before and afters of the stairway and front door, and also my cheapo pillow. I’ll put more up of the rest of the projects another time.

Time for this week’s Color My World Challenge! This week’s challenge (and a challenge it most definitely was) was to incorporate pink through paint. I can tell you right now, you are not going to see my dining room walls pink 😀 I decided I wanted to give it a go at painting a, well… painting. Good grief…

You guys, I did it!!!! I finally built the DIY upholstered bed I have been talking about for a couple of years now! And… it’s everything I dreamed it would be!!! There is so much that went into this bed, and I know you’re going to want all the details, but I can’t wait to…
DIY african mud cloth pillows
You may remember I did some DIY African mudcloth inspired pillows for our living room. You can check those out here. Well, I am still loving them like crazy and decided to make some more using a different technique for our dining room. They turned out pretty awesome!

DIY bench and my finished entry
The last few weeks I have been on a bench hunt (for my entry) like a mad woman, and turned up nothing. That’s not entirely true. I did find benches that would have been perfect, but at $500 on up they were perfectly out of my price range. So I decided to build one. $40 and a…
glitter reindeer art
Thanks to my husband, I had a couple of free minutes to myself the other day and decided to tackle a Pinterest project I was wanting to try for Christmas. Best part – it didn’t cost me a thing! I also drew up another quick piece of art (based off stationary I saw here) to…
Izzy’s bedroom
Izzy’s room has been “done” (done as in I’m not actively thinking about what to do next) for a while. She was with me the other day as I was adding images to the Home Tour page when she asked, “Sam has pictures of his room up? Why aren’t there any of mine?!!” Well dear,…

NewestSeriously? You just blew my mind! It looks like a totally different house!! You are the most talented women I've ever met. Oh, and the pillow you "whipped up" – ridiculous! I can't get my jaw to go back up.
I am really most jealous of your clean floors. This looks awesome. If I ever move out of the hood, you are coming to stay for a month…or two…
WOW, what a transformation! You did an amazing job! And you little one is so stinkin adorable!
wow, you have been busy! Love that front door. And your banister project is really making me itch to get busy on our stairs.
Thanks for your comment on my chalk it up post. I sooooo wish we had a hobby lobby near us, but we don't. Nearest one is an hour and a half away.
Have a great week!

What a gorgeous transformation! I love the new look and great job on that pillow! I've read all the way down from today's post to here. I love your little Izzy tales. Too cute! 🙂

So I just found you thanks to DIY showoff and I am so enthralled! I have loved reading about Izzy's life, I have four daughters and never tire of others stories of their princesses. I adore what you are doing around your house, we too have been on a mission to make our house a home and that leads me to my question. Did you paint or stain the hand rail of your staircase? We are currently deciding what to do with ours. I can't tell from the photo. All I know is, it looks fab!
Very nice all.
