Photo Gallery Wall

So I have this big empty wall in my front entryway / living room that I've been tring you decide what to do with for a while now. Right now it just has one Picture on it that's too small for the big wall and I need to move it somewhere else. Today, I happened upon this and it's just what I've been looking for. I may do something a little different with the words, haven't decided yet but same objective. :) I just need to start collecting frames now.

Here is the link where I got this idea from. http://gingersnapcrafts.blogspot.com/2011/08/fab-friday-family-wall.html

New Wreath

Its almost Summer time and I'm very excited. :) I have been looking for ideas to refresh my living room decor and believe this fun bright wreath may be just the ticket! I'm thinking about hangin it over my mirror on the wall. I love the yellow, it's so bright and cheery and I'm thinking maybe instead of pink I will do some sort of aqua blue color. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. Wish me luck!

Wreath Debate

So I really want to make a small Wreath to hang over my mirror in my living room. I thought ?I was sold on the one I blogged about a couple days ago but I stumbled upon this one and I really really like it. Decisions Decisions. :) AND Vday is in 2 weeks so if I want it up for any amount of time I better pick one and make it asap!

Job Chart

I've been trying to decide what to do to get more organized and get a little more help from my kids lately. It's hard since we aren't home very often to have a routine where the kids can acutally have some stablility. I stumbled across this Job Chart and I really like the concept and simplicity of it. I think I'm going to make one for Canyon and Savanna but just change it up a little bit. I'll let you know how they turn out!

"Super Easy" Bench

http://ana-white.com/2011/01/super-easy-bench.html

I found this site a while back which actually give you building plans for do it yourself furniture. I've been excited to try my (Scott's) had at it ever since! :) Although I would really like to go straight for the big stuff, Kitchen Table, I told Scott we can do this bench first to see how good we are. Plus, I really want this bench and I know exactly where we would put it. It will be perfect in our kitchen / Dining area right by the door that leads to the garage. I can sit the little kiddos on the bench while I'm putting their shoes on them before we head out the door. It will be perfect! :)

Crepe Paper Rosette Wreath

Here is what's first on my "to-do" list. I love this crepe paper rosette wreath! I am going to make one and hang it in front of my big black mirror in our living room. I'm super excited about it! Here is the site I got the tutorial from. http://houseofsmiths.blogspot.com/2010/03/spring-fever.html

My Inspiration

I got the idea to start this blog from my dear sister Natalie. :) We recently moved into a bigger place and I've had so much fun playing with space I have and planning how I want to decorate. I've always loved being creative and with all the resources we have out there I find myself online often just browsing the different do-it-yourself decorating ideas. I am going to use this blog to keep track of my favorite ideas and pics of how they turn out when I get around to doing them. :)
