  • Simple DIY Wooden Letter Wall Art

    I just love this rustic wooden “heart” wall art that was hanging over a bed in one of our vacation rentals in the Adirondacks a few weeks ago. This would be lovely in a baby’s room, as part of the decor at a DIY country style wedding, or sheva brachas, or for any event really,…

  • Stenciling On Color Washed Walls Or Canvases: A Great Look For Summer!

  • Make A Fun DIY Stenciled Coat Rack (For Kids?)

        Why not encourage your kids to hang up their stuff by providing them with a fun coat rack hung at their level! You may even have the supplies for this project hanging around collecting dust, like I did! And in case you’re wondering, I really am not all that handy, it’s just that I…

  • Lessons In Decorating: A Beautiful Color Scheme Inspired By An Ordinary Pigeon!

    When this pigeon found his way into my living room and just didn’t want to leave, I knew I should take his picture because he looked so cute! What I didn’t know is that this photo would be inspiration for a post about decorating! When I was cropping the photo to share with you I…
