Shiplapped Faux Fireplace
Oops! We did it again!! When we built our first fireplace in our Florida house, my mom let us know she wanted one as well. So we put together a plan and over the last weekend we built our second fireplace. It took two days of building to complete the fireplace. Prior to building, we spent 2 days replacing the flooring in the family room and the kitchen. This flooring is from Lowes you can find them HERE. It looks awesome, and she loves it! I can’t wait to see this all throughout the house. Once we had the flooring done, we moved on to the fireplace! The fireplace is…

CHRISTMAS PRINTABLE
The weary world rejoices. That phrase hits home with me, I know so many are tired of the wild ride we have been on here in 2020. I decided I would create a printable that reflects our hope, the only hope we need for our future. I hope you enjoy this printable. This one is square and can be printed in 5×5 up to 8×8. I hope you enjoy the printable, and happy decorating!

CONCRETE PUMPKIN DIY
I know its past Halloween, but I still have to share this fun little plastic pumpkin DIY. We made these little cuties in our garage and our grandson was here visiting for the week so he helped me out! I hope you enjoy this project! You start with a plastic, blow mold pumpkin bucket. You want the one that is shaped like a pumpkin. You prepare it by cutting slits down both sides and the back and duck taping it together. I only made one slit in the back and that was difficult when I removed the mold. Make it easier for yourself and make 3. Don’t make a cut…

DIY BOARD & BATTEN
What do you think? I hope you think it is as beautiful as I do! Board and Batten is a fabulous way to take an awkward space and make it pop! I added it to 2 places in my home, here in the entryway; and also in my kitchen by the stove. That was the most awkward space, but now it has some charming board and batten and it adds a nice layer of texture! Doing board and batten yourself if so easy! It’s actually a great first time DIY project all you need is a saw, some 1×4 boards, some 1×3 boards (and a couple 1×2’s if you want…

LAUNDRY ROOM REFRESH
So, we did a thing! We put up some tile! We got a wet saw and put some subway tile under the cabinetry, and I think it made such a difference! Our first time with tile, mortar, and grout. It was a learning curve and I think we did a good job! How boring is that before! Let’s take a peek at what we used!!! We used mortar and grout and subway tile that was on a grid which meant no spacing needed! The wet saw was fun! My hubby got pretty soaked, but it was a small and quick learning curve. Putting it up was easier than we thought….…

MICROWAVE FLOWER DRYING
My family experienced a great loss this past September when my Aunt Rita passed away. At her funeral, my uncle got her the most beautiful spray of yellow roses. At the end of the service, as is tradition, I took one of the flowers covering her casket and brought it home. I had it in a vase for several days, it was so beautiful. I knew I wanted to find a way to preserve it. I decided I would try a new method of flower drying, using a microwave. Boy, did it work well! I couldn’t believe that one minute this rose was in a vase and literally 10 minutes…
