I love fall. It is my favorite season. I could list all the reasons why and leave you reading for hours, but instead I'm sure you can just take my word for it. One of the things I love doing for fall is decorating. I love doing that for all seasons really, but fall decorating feels warm and cozy. I love looking at wreaths, and I wish I knew how to make them. So I found some cute DIY wreaths from some fellow bloggers that I thought I would share with you. These are all perfect to hang on our doors for fall. No one feels more welcome than when they see a big beautiful fall wreath on the door Continue Reading
DIY Bucket Planter
A relative of mine is basically a gardening master. She loves flowers, and always has such a pretty view near her home. She posted some photos of the landscape at her house, and I immediately loved this idea!

Tips for Installing a Ceiling Fan

House to Home: Guest Bedroom
It has been SO LONG since I wrote a House to Home post. Too long. But we finally have another room completed! Our guest bedroom! Here is our game shelf. I love playing board games and wish we got to play them more often. Here's our book/storage shelf in the middle of the room. At the bottom of this post, I give you a sneak peek into what's in those storage bins. Yes, we have a Spongebob stuffed animal. It was a random silly gift from my dad. (family joke) Above that shelf, I have some wall art. I just used frames and scrapbook paper to make this Continue Reading
DIY Crate Nightstand
(This post contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting my blog.) I've been waiting and waiting for us to finish our guest bedroom. Everything was done, except there was no nightstand. I didn't want to spend a lot of money for such a small piece of furniture that wouldn't be used all that often anyway. Finally, I decided just to make my own! I think it turned out great! Here's what I used: Two wooden crates (I got mine from Michael's, but you can also get some on Amazon) Wood stain A paintbrush Gorilla Glue First, I stained both crates with a dark Continue Reading
