Yeesh! Sometimes it is the smaller projects that take a lot of time to write a tutorial on the process and this is one of them! Here’s one more project to cross off the list for Pip’s room…one step closer to the big day…an entirely complete room in my house! Can you tell that I […]

An upholstered footstool is one of the gifts that I made for Pip for Christmas this year, in my quest to have one room in this house completely finished up.  This is part of how I made it–I say part, because I think I deleted the building part of the pictures…oops!  It is so simple […]

I’m getting closer and closer to having ONE room in this house that is completely and truly done!!!! I can’t wait for that day 🙂 Pip is really liking her desk hutch, but the project I am writing about today is one of her favorites for her room and it turned out a lot easier […]

If all I had done was add a hutch to a desk, then the reveal post would have come about much sooner. But before I could add the hutch, I had to paint the desk. I didn’t sand the desk down. I bought some bonding primer at Lowes (hope I don’t regret not getting the […]

Woohoo the reveal!  I love. love. love this closet organizer.  I couldn’t be happier with it.  More importantly Pip is happy with it and she is excited that she can find all her stuff in there now! The viking hat got a place of honor 🙂 Dress up jewelry for now! What do you think?  […]

Have you seen all the great pillows out there with dimension to them?  Do you cringe a little bit when you look at the price tag on them?  I know I do!  I had some scrap pink fleece left over from sewing a robe for Pip awhile back and I decided to whip it up […]

Do you love a good before and after furniture makeover?  Seeing someone take something perfectly serviceable but dated and a little drab, and right before your eyes changing it to something special by adding a few details and a couple of coats of paint–well I’ll admit, it’s a bit of a high for me.  This dresser […]

Whew! Finally we are at the reveal for this project! Life has gotten in between me and the final coat of Polyacrylic for this one. But now here it is, all set in its place in Pip’s room:

Are you a fan of tons of storage and a place for everything and everything in its place?  Then you are going to love this DIY Pottery Barn Stratton knock off bed inspired by Pottery Barn’s Stratton Bed. I love it.  I can’t believe I made it!!  The drawers work.  It is the right size.  […]

Built-in bookcases.  Check.  Still got quite a few projects before this room can be called done!  But one thing can be crossed off the list now.
