It's been over a year since my last post! So much has happened that caused me to stay away for so long. I could go into detail, but let's just stick with the fun subjects shall we!  Since my last post last year, I have been busy documenting any and all projects that me, and my family, take on. I had hoped that I would be able to spend the time to sit down one of these days and type out a few posts, but alas (as mentioned before) I did not! This post, in particular, has been the post that I have looked forward to doing for some time now! On to it!  My parents had been shopping around for a coffee table to complete their new living room set. The coffee table that they had for years before just wasn't matching their new and beautiful couch.  screamed 'elegant' while the coffee table screamed 'e...

I have been on the hunt for fashionable, yet decently priced, sweatshirts. For my kind of style, they're normally over priced. And let me tell you, window shopping does not help the situation! Searching through stores just made me want to buy everything in site, which does not help the 'decently priced' aspect of shopping. So, I took to creating my own! This is where trusty ol' Pinterest comes in! ;) There were so many cute ideas, I really couldn't decide which style I wanted to create first. After looking for what seemed like ages, I chose to create a diamond design with a galaxy theme. There's not much else to explain other than showing you, so on to the goods! You will need: A sweatshirt of your size (I purchased mine for $4.60 from Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon) Fabric paint of various shades of pink, blue, purple and white (If you are creating on any other color besides black, you will also need black) Fluffy paintbrush Plat...

My dear ol' mother has a home studio for her photography business. It is pretty impressive how she created a business space from two separate rooms. In her waiting room, she wanted to add a space just for children without taking up too much room. She had a cluttered closet that was overflowing with things that had no place in the house. My mother came up with the idea of a reading nook after completely cleaning out the closet. Once it was bare, she was able to see the potential. Before the conversion of the closet, the only distraction she had for the children of her clients was a small basket filled with toys hidden underneath a chair. Needless to say, there was not much for children in the room. Unfortunately, we don't have any cluttered before pictures of the closet to show you, so you'll just have to take my word for it! It was M-E-S-S-Y! It was almost unusable as a closet, more like a hoarder's paradise! There were shelves attached to the walls that she removed...

A few weeks ago I posted about an IKEA hack of my son's table and chairs set. Of course I didn't get around to posting the chairs part of that table and chairs hack.... ANYWAYS, I didn't like the look the original chairs, new or used. I had seen many different hacks on the chairs themselves, mostly consisting of adding fabric to the seat or painting them. They all looked great, but I love upholstered and cushion seat chairs. I couldn't find any when I looked of what I was going for, so I decided to try it out. The chairs themselves took longer that the table, only because it was trial and error based. I just wanted to be able to put the table and chairs anywhere in the house and have them fit in. I think I did a pretty good job at that, if I do say so myself. Just a forewarning, I apologize for the poor quality of pictures, I was trying to finish the chairs and it was night time before I was able to get to them.  Not too shabby for someone who has no prio...
