I’ve seen this Pin for a while now. I’ve seen so many ways to get it to work. Most say that it can’t be done with normal Sharpies. Well, guess what, I did just that. Stick around and I’ll share. As Seen on Pinterest: Sharpie Mugs (that work with regular Sharpies!) Supplies First things ...

Hey! Today I wanted to share another of our home improvement projects. Most older homes have both an eat in kitchen or breakfast nook AND a formal dining room. However we decided that we wanted to make the "formal" dining room our everyday dining room, so that left this little spot without a ...

I had so much fun painting this coop this weekend! I imagine in the winter it will be a nice pop of color. I found this quote in How to Be a Wildflower by Katie Daisy. If you haven't discovered that book, I highly recommend it :) Since our farm's name is Starry Fields, all of the flowers are ...

Our not-so-lovely-but-thankful-we-have-it military housing comes with the really steep stairs. With really sharp edges. ...

Currently I'm working on the soft furnishings for Charlotte's bedroom - so far I've made the curtains (a tutorial on that tomorrow) and I have cut out the quilt. With the scraps, I decided to make this little pillow for the green chair in her room. It was inspired by this Anthropologie one. ...
