Easy 4th of July Star Banner

Easy 4th of July Star Banner

When I shared my 4th of July favorites on Friday (click HERE if you missed the posy) and saw the cute star banner printable on Etsy (click HERE), which you can see in the below photo again, I came up with the idea to make my own.

Le Cattedrali Del Giubileo Cathedral Art

I found them, I found them!!! That's what I yelled when I finally spotted the limited edition prints behind a stash of art and mirrors in my walk-in-closet.

After 20 years I finally have a spot for them. And I have the ...

Hmong is an ethnic group of people who live in China, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand and they create really beautiful and colorful items with lots of tassels, ...

Bathroom update

So last month I shared some of the ugly DIY truth (click HERE if you missed the post_ in my home and it had a positive affect. I actually got my rear in gear and accomplished some things in our bathroom. Lets go back for those of you who are just stopping in or missed everything entirely. My original plan in the bathroom was to have two pendant lights on each side of the mirror which is ...

Succulent arrangement idea

Hey friends how was your weekend? Mine was quite tiring again with the kittens. I thought one of them wasn't going to make it. It's so stressful to have these emotional ups and downs. I was up every 1.5-2 hours trying to force feed the runt. It worked and he is much better now again. I'm missing my projects and haven't worked on much because of the little furry ones. So I decided to share the ...
