My Master Bedroom Makeover has been dragging along, and I’m so happy that the day has arrived to share and I can consider it DONE! My husband built our homemade bed almost 2 years ago, drapes hung a year ago, walls/ceiling painted 8 months ago, it was simply the finishing touches that I just couldn’t seem to hammer down. I dedicated the month of April to finish, and I did!If you didn’t realize, my goal… Continue Reading
I am in love with this extra long Fabric Pennant Banner. When I was planning my Girls Fancy Room Makeover, I knew I would use one wall for a Giant Gallery Wall. With that said, I didn’t want to use the opposite big wall with more big pictures, but what could I do? One day it popped into my head that a super long pennant banner spanning the wall would be fabulous, fancy, and fun!… Continue Reading
When I was growing up, my church would often share thoughtful quotes called MormonADs with images in the youth magazine we’d get each month. One of my very favorites (from 1986) that I had a poster hanging in my room was this Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful quote and scripture from 1 Samual 16:7 which says, “the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh… Continue Reading
It’s been a while since I posted a photo tip, and this is also a Decorating with Pictures idea! I’m so excited to share How to turn Images into One Color in Photoshop.

Since I already had my Fancy Gallery Wall in… Continue Reading
I’ve been dreaming of this day for over six months, to be finished with my Girls Bedroom Makeover and reveal and share it with all of you! If you remember back last fall, I begged everyone I knew to vote for my girls in a room makeover. We were in the top ten, and they made the cutest little video with a song that we’ve been singing for 6 months….”We need our room to be,… Continue Reading
I’m just going to admit right now, that Easter is my least favorite holiday to decorate for. It’s not that I don’t love the meaning behind the holiday…but I don’t really care for bunnies. I know, call me heartless. I also don’t care as much for pastels, so for my Easter mantel, I decided to go for more bold colors, and I found some fun stuff at World Market! I had just a few Easter… Continue Reading
I’m so excited to show you how to make a Silhouette Canvas with a Silhouette Cameo that I shared in the girls Fancy Room Gallery Wall. This was my very first project with my new Silhouette Cameo machine, and it was so exciting how easy it was! I have long admired the Silhouette, but the idea of actually having one in my possession left me paralyzed with fear that I’d be overwhelmed learning another gadget.… Continue Reading
