Okay you guys, this is a really long title… because I wasn’t too sure what to call it! But whatever it’s called, I’m in love with it. I love the function (no more scratched floors from my kids dragging around their book basket), I love the colour, and you know I love anything that incorporates …
Can you believe it’s time to start planning for Halloween already? The first year (okay, maybe two… maybe still) of blogging I felt like I was SO late to the punch. Because if you want to do a project for a holiday and you want other people to see it so they can try it …
Did you spot my DIY cake topper on Saturday? Well today I’m sharing the DIY for that beautiful rustic backdrop! This DIY was created with a wedding in mind as part of the Cricut Wedding Campaign, ‘It’s your story make it personal’ (have you entered their ginormous giveaway yet?) but it would be SO beautiful for …
Happy Sunday! I know, I’m here on a sunday. I’m just popping in to let you guys know that I’m over at Remodelaholic sharing this little book case refresh using these simple book covers. This DIY can be done in an afternoon for about $5 and ZERO commitment. Sometimes it’s nice to try something without any …
You guys, this project turned out exactly like I’d imagined it. It took a bit more mess than expected (I totally ruined my fave pair of jeans by spilling my liquid gold), but it was worth it… sort of. I’m still mourning the jeans. But enough about my pants… let’s talk this cake topper! You …
Can you believe it’s almost time to start thinking Halloween? Me neither! Our kiddos don’t start pre-school until next week, so it still feels like summer around here. Also… preschool? What happened to my babies!? #saideverymomever Anyways… I’m so thrilled to be joining the Eighteen25 girls once again for their …
See that shine? I’m so excited to share this one with you. Not just this pillow, but about this foiling technique. I have SO many plans for it. This is the first of four projects I’m bringing as part of a partnership with Therm-O-Web to showcase the rad Deco-Foils they’ve launched this past year. They’re totally …
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tazo® Tea. All opinions are 100% mine. If you know me at all, you know I love to entertain. And not just parties, but every day. Brunch, coffee dates, dinners… it’s one of my favourite ways to socialize. When Shane and I were house …
I know what you’re thinking, “Colleen, I thought you don’t like colour!” But it’s not true! I actually love colour, I’m just a fan of neutrals in my home. BUT every once in a while, I like to do something fun like a bold blue dresser, or a kelly green patterned wall. I am really …
Today I’m trying something new- Design Elements. Get ready for a tongue twister of a sentence: Do you ever make something for something then feel like the something that was made for something else could be used for something more? Confusing? Lemme break it down. Today I am over at Dawn Nicole Designs sharing some …
I am popping in today to share this hand lettered free printable with you today. I designed this lettering as a transfer for tea towels to show a few different techniques to transfer designs to fabric. You can find that post over at Creative Live right here. Since the design was ready and waiting (it …
I’ve been practicing up this technique in preparation of taking on a giant painting for over our fire place. I’m not really a painter, but I really love the way these brush strokes paintings look and the technique is so darn simple. I created a brushstroke hoop painting last year and it’s still one of …
