Simple Fall Decor {Home Tour}
I love Fall! Even though it is mid September, because of the weird spring weather, it has delayed the onset of Autumn. The leaves have not started to change color yet. Even up in the mountains the leaves are mostly green. We had to drive to the top of the mountain just to get a few branches of leaves that were sort of turning colors. So my plans and my color scheme changed and at first I was disappointed, but now I am slightly obsessed with the greens, golds, and browns. As per usual, I used things I already had, repurposed items, and collected things from nature. I prefer simple Fall decor. Thanks for letting me share my Fall home tour today!

Camping, Canoeing, and an UPDATE!
This was the first summer that I have scaled back with blogging. Normally I am busting out projects left and right and posting all the time. My oldest is a senior this year and this could very well be my last, full summer with him at home for awhile so I wanted to make the most of it. I feel lucky that I am my own boss and can make that kind of decision (even if it does affect my income). One of my favorite things we were able to do as a family was visit McCall, Idaho. There is a beautiful lake called Payette Lake and a charming little town with shops. It has been called "Idaho's best kept secret". It is a resort town so there are plenty of hotels, shopping, and … {READ MORE}
DIY Braided Fabric Basket
I like to make lists. I have a lot of them :) One is of all the projects I want to do. This braided fabric basket has been on my list forever! The kids dragged the fabric tote out the other day and dug through it and I saw this green fabric that matched the new green cabinets in my office. I decided the go ahead and make a braided fabric basket and cross it off my list! It is a fun DIY project to do while you are watching TV and curled up on the couch. Years ago I made a large braided rug using this method so I knew making a basket would be easy! Supplies for the Braided Fabric Basket: Cotton Fabric (approximately 2 yards) Iron & Ironing Board Scissors(affiliate … {READ MORE}
DIY Resin Drawer Knobs {& Giveaway!}
I have an obsession with playing around with resin. I am not sure what it is about it that is so fascinating, but I just love it! In the past I made some leaf resin magnets for our fridge. They are still on there and I smile everytime I open the fridge and see them. We have lots of pressed leaves from our hikes and our travels and I'm always looking for ways to use them. Today I am sharing how I made these resin drawer knobs. I'm partnering up with Wagner to show you how their new heat gun can help you with this fun and easy project!

20 Wall hangings that will add texture to your space
It doesn't matter if you decorate with bright, bold colors or if you are drawn to using neutrals, texture is an important part of a space that often gets over looked. Recently I have seen that wall hangings have become more, and more popular. Here are 20 wall hangings that will add texture to your space! Wall Hangings That Will Add Texture To Your Space My mom use to hang baskets on the wall and when I was younger and while I thought it was weird because no one else had them on their walls, I also thought it was kind of cool. This tribal collection of baskets not only gives the space texture, but great pattern as well. The African Home Goods These baskets are more … {READ MORE}
Garage Door Makeover
Now that our house is looking pretty good, it was time to turn our attention to our detached garage. Our garage doors are original which means they are 81 years old! They have been patched and painted numerous times over the years. I admit that when we moved here we just slapped on a coat of paint and called it a day. It has been peeling more and more in the recent years so I knew it was time for a garage door makeover! This post is sponsored by Wagner and all opinions and ideas are 100% my own. This post also contains affiliate links. Our garage makeover journey actually started last Fall. This is what it looked like back then. A real beaut, eh? Since I have a 3 step … {READ MORE}
NEW Front Yard Landscaping
I re-landscaped our front yard earlier this year but am just now getting around to blogging about it. I am sure some of you, and definitely some of my neighbors, are wondering why we dug up all our perfectly good flowers this spring. Don't worry, I found new homes for all of them. Most went into our backyard and the rest went to friends and neighbors. This front yard landscaping project has been on my mind for years. Even though my flower beds were filled with some of my favorite perennials, I never liked the looked of it and here is why... Why I Re-landscaped the Front Yard Our house is orange. There, I said it. Terracotta if you want to get fancy. Having such … {READ MORE}
Clay Head Planter
This project has literally been on my to-do list for 2 years. I kept putting it off because it was a smaller project and not really a need. I also have never sculpted a face and was hesitant to try. Even though I wanted it to be whimsical, and it didn't need to be anatomically correct, I still wondered if I could make look like what I had pictured in my head. Surprisingly, this project only took about a half and hour and was so easy! Here is my clay head planter! Supplies *Affiliate link Sculpey Polymer Clay Glass Vase ( I buy mine at the Dollar Store) Straw Rolling pin (Optional) Prepare the Clay Sculpey polymer clay is my favorite to work with. I used … {READ MORE}
Outdoor Garden Tools (Review & Giveaway!)
Summer is always so busy and filled with swim lessons, games, BBQs, camping, family events, and of course, yard work! Whether you love it like I do, or hate it, it still needs to be done. I recently received some yard tools that make things easier and thanks to Ryobi, I get to give one of them away today! Cultivator I have a large garden. It is 19 feet by 90 feet. That is a lot of produce! But unfortunately that also means a lot of weeds. In the past I tried hand weeding and hoeing but that took too long even with my 4 sons helping. I started tilling in between the rows a few years ago and it is so much better! Like hoeing on steroids :) It is so nice to zip up … {READ MORE}
