Yesterday I posted the “tour” of my spring mantel, which I created based on the March Southern Living cover. I love finding design inspiration in unlikely places! To punch up my display, I decided to add some fun medallion accents, which were inspired by these medallions shared by Jen at Tatertots and Jello…

How to Dress Up Furniture with Fabric
After sharing all about George’s nursery last month, I neglected to post about the little side table next to the upholstered rocker. Thank you so much to the reader who reminded me to do so by sending an email asking about this piece!I mentioned before how my goal in planning the nursery was to use…
Framed Custom Chalkboard and Magnetic Board
Yesterday I revealed my new “faux mudroom” hallway command center, my solution to our home’s lack of a mudroom or utility room. We’ve only been using the space for a few days so far, but it has already made our household so much more organized!As I was planning this project, I knew I wanted a…
Quilted & Piped Letter Tutorial
I recently shared my Valentine Mantel display, which includes a sweet little set of X and O letters as one of the decorative elements. I love taking something you can purchase ready-made and add a handmade stamp to it to give it my personal touch. These Quilted & Piped Letters are a project that accomplishes just…

By planning ahead just a bit to incorporate elements that can transition well from one season to the next, you can streamline your…

Honeycomb Table Lamp
Completely by accident, I found myself gravitating toward a bee theme in the nursery. My inspiration came from the fact that we didn’t know what baby George was going to “bee” until the day of his arrival, and I thought a bee motif would work regardless of whether the baby turned out to be a boy…
Piping Tutorial + Bee Happy Pillow
In my opinion, it’s the little touches that take a sewing project from ho-hum to fabulous, and there are few things that can accomplish that effect quite as dynamically as adding piping, and especially custom piping made to match your project to a tee. Just recently I used piping in the bumpers I…
DIY Stacked Wall Frames
I absolutely love the look of the stacked colorful frames in funky shapes that have become so popular lately. I have had in mind to find and/or make some frames like these to hang on either side of the framed chalkboard in the nursery, and while perusing Pinterest, I saw a pin that suggested buying…
