I am sharing these darling mini letter board ornaments! This has never happened to me before, but I had a dream that I made these letter board ornaments 2 months ago.

DIY Woven Leather Pillow
Last year when we got a new sofa, I skinned the old one and put the leather in a tote. My boys have had fun making a ton of leather projects including their own moccasins. I decided it was time for me to make a project with some of the leather scraps. I made leather pillows for my son's room last year but I really wanted one that had more texture. I decided to weave one! It was easier than I thought to make this woven leather pillow. Whether it is on our gray arm chair, the black bench, or our sofa, this woven leather pillow looks amazing in our family room.

The Easiest Way To Paint Closet Shelves
Over the years I have changed up the office closet a couple of times. Each time I learn what is working and what isn't. I'm not sure if this latest makeover will be the last, but I can tell you it is a big improvement over the last! We will get into the details of why soon, but let's talk paint first. The first time I painted the closet it was peacock blue, and the second time it was black. Both I loved at the time, but I was ready for a fresh new space that better matched the office itself so I went with white. The entire closet was black. Walls, and shelves. I wasn't daunted by the task though, because I have a secret weapon. Here is the easiest way to paint closet shelves! This post is … {READ MORE}
New Flooring! And… {How to Install Baseboard}
I have been working on several projects all at the same time like your typical ADD DIYer and I finally have one I can share! I installed new flooring!!! (Finally, right?) I have been putting it off for years because of the amount of work it is but finally buckled down at did it. I felt like we were moving. Boxes were packed, furniture was cleared out of the rooms. Such a pain! But I love how they turned out. We opted to also replace the baseboards. They were the original baseboards from 1938 and had who knows how many coats of paint on them. Every time they chipped, it would chip down the the wood and created a big dent. They were in bad shape. While I was at a conference in Atlanta, I met … {READ MORE}

White Painted Pumpkins {Outdoor Fall Decor}
This has been an unusual year. Because of the extremely wet Spring, Fall has been delayed. I had such a hard time finding regular orange pumpkins and there were absolutely no white pumpkins available anywhere. I have never used faux pumpkins before, but I didn't want to wait until mid October to decorate so I decided to shop around for some. I was only able to find orange, green and gold. No problem! A little paint goes a long way. For my HomeRight post this month I'm sharing my tips on painting faux pumpkins and other small things with the Super Finish Max! I used these white painted pumpkins inside and out to add simple Fall touches. Keep reading until the end to enter a … {READ MORE}
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!
