Rad DIY and design for 'the rest of us'
This post is sponsored by Krylon- as always I never promote brands I don’t love to use and work with. Find my full policies here. It’s another week of our Modern Holiday Home series and yet again- I’m really excited about this project! If you’ve missed the first few… this month, I’ve joined forces with […]
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Painter’s Mate Green® painter’s tape for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Today I’m excited to share our front door update! There’s still lots more work to do on the exterior of our home (did you catch our exterior update a couple weeks back?), […]
If you’ve checked out either of my home tours, you might have noticed our fire place. I gave the fire place a refresh last year and it’s one of my favourite things that we’ve done in our living space. This is a low cost makeover and I totally love having this fireplace in our space […]
Alright you guys, today I’m sharing this super simple DIY coat rack over at Remodelaholic. Let me start by saying… I don’t think many people have coat racks any more. Or am I wrong… do you have one? But we had this corner at the bottom of our stairs that was just asking for one. […]
I’m so happy with how these paintings turned out you guys! They took me about ten minutes start to finish (plus set up and clean up) and they are the perfect pieces to fill these cool floating brass frames I snagged. I’ve been eying frames like these for what feels like forever. They have some […]
If your kids are anything like mine, they love to make stuff. Like… all. the. time. Whether it’s playdoh or coloring or painting or taping cardboard together, we are always making things. And then cleaning those things up because we don’t have dedicated floor space for this stuff to stay out. Last week I was […]
You may have noticed that we do a lot of black and white around here. And I love it, I really do… but I also love my hits of Metallics. Today I partnered with Krylon to bring a copper metallic statement to a simple white photo frame. One of the color trends Krylon predicts for […]
Since I’ve been busy filming and editing all the videos for my e-course over the past few weeks, I’m FINALLY getting to the point where I ‘get’ or enjoy video. So much so that I’ve made a second video this month (whaaat?!) and you might even see a third. I’m crazy, I know. If you’re […]
Today I’m excited to share a fun update we made to the twins shared bedroom. I had ‘finished’ their big kids room a while ago, but was never totally happy with it. I’m still not. I have big plans, you guys ;) but I’ve finished one of the projects that I’ve been planning to do […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
