So part of the whole process of the Crafting With The Stars competition has been that all projects were anonymous. The idea behind that was so the projects that got voted for were the best ones…you know, so that big ginormous blogs couldn’t send their readers to vote for their particular project. To give the [...]
As promised here is a tutorial for our Pottery Barn Decorative Ledge Knockoff. Essentially the whole ledge boils down to two hollow “boxes” and some trim – and a lot of finishing. By “knocking off” the ledge, we were able to customize it to fit our space – which would have been about a foot too [...]
We are so excited to finally be able to show you this project! Because it was our entry in the first round of Crafting With the Stars {Season 3}, we had to keep it secret. Which was unbelievably difficult because we love to spill the beans about our projects as we go along. But here [...]
I stayed up ridiculously late last night just waiting… …to find out we made it! We are thrilled to be moving on to Crafting With The Stars Round 2 with some incredibly talented ladies! Round 1 consisted of 12 contestants. 3 were eliminated by voting. There are 9 left. Our project was 3rd!!! The theme for Round [...]
My most favourite part of redoing a space isn’t the painting or the cleaning (ack!)…it’s the styling! And what better time to style a room than after a fresh paint job at the beginning of a new season? (That is a trick question, btw..it’s always a good time to style a room!) The new wall [...]

Since the living and dining rooms are pretty much packed up in boxes to make way for the renos, I really felt the need to do something, anything pretty elsewhere in the house. So I took a little of this and a little of that and restyled the front hallway dresser for spring. (In [...]
I’m pretty sure I promised you guys an inspiration board for our master bedroom awhile back. Didn’t I? Perhaps not? Am I imagining things? Well in any case, that’s what today’s post is about, so lucky you! First a little refresher (as always, right?). Our sixty-eight year old war-era bungalow was only a two bedroom [...]
**Scroll to the bottom of post to link your Christmas decorating** Being that we start to put up our Christmas decorations on November 1st every year, I tend to putter and tweak them as Christmas draws nearer. I think it originally started because when the kids were small, like toddler-small, I would have to fix [...]
Last week we talked about lightening up our living room. We asked for advice on painting the armoire and adding in some accent pieces. We also mentioned that we didn’t want to replace everything, as there are still some renos we need to complete on the house (like the floors in the living room/dining room) and [...]
