Salvaged Wood Coat Rack

Image
I recently shared our basement makeover reveal, did you happen to see it? If not, be sure to catch it HERE , It's a pretty great Before and After if I don't mind saying myself. In that reveal I shared this coat rack that I made out of some salvaged wood and today I wanted to share a little more about it.  This coat rack began with a little white peg board that I picked up at a Fancy Farmgirls Sale that is local here in Idaho. I actually picked up quite a bit of goodies at that sale as you can see from this next picture. I'm sure you've notice a few of these things from around our home, like the hanging planter, that is a show stopper in our sunroom.  I needed some hooks by our back entryway so that my boys would have a place to hang up their coats and backpacks when they came home from school, but this little peg board wasn't gonna cut it with only 4 pegs.  So I had to get creative.  I went out to our garage to see what I could find.  I even checked out what was

Only five more weeks until our Beach Vacation!!!  Can you tell I'm excited?  Our family has rented a little beach house in northern California for Spring break.  We will be exploring the beaches of  northern California and southern Oregon Coast and we will also be checking out the beautiful Redwood forest.  I Cannot wait!

So I know you have heard me talk about Pavilion Gift before.  They are a really neat company that specializes in personalized gifts. They have something unique for everyone and for every occasion.  Pavilion Gift carries a line called, We People , that I just can't get enough of.

Exciting News! New Etsy Shop!

I have some exciting news to share with you today! I collaborated with my sister, who owns a printing company,  Berkley Ink, and together we came up with some adorable Spring pillow designs that I will be selling in my new  ETSY Shop !! I woke up one morning with two designs in my head; a flower market logo and a peace sign made up of daisies.  It was a kinda random thought but I knew these designs would make  really cute pillows, so I contacted my sister and asked her if she would help me create them.  After a few back and forth messages, she was able to create exactly what was in my head. It was so exciting to see my vision come to life.  I am in Love with these pillows! And I figured you might be as well.  So I had my sister make up a few extras so that I could list them in my ETSY shop for you. The first pillow, which happens to be my sisters favorite, is this 'Flower Market' pillow. The letters are in a distressed dark gray and printed on a white cotton canvas pillow cove

Our Family Room/Basement Reveal!

Image
There is a room in our home that I have never ever shared here on the blog before, and that would be our basement!   It seems weird that I've never shared this room before because it is the room that my family spends the most time in. The reason why I haven't ever shared this room is because when we first moved into our home, I had an agreement with my husband and two boys that I could decorate the upstairs ANY way I wished, but the Basement, That was for the guys and I was not allowed to decorate it.  Fair enough, right? Well let's just say it was looking pretty rundown, so I talked them into letting me give it a fresh new paint job and they agreed.  My husband help choose the new paint color and it now looks so much better and worthy of a blog post. So Behold Our basement!  / aka The family room / aka the t.v. room / aka the playroom / aka the movie room / aka the video game room / aka the all day Saturday room.  Well, you get the idea, we use this room a lot.  The baseme

A Cheerful Spring Entryway

Yay for February! I seriously think that January dragged on for wayyyyy too long. Who else agrees? Nothing against January,  I am just looking forward to some warmer days and spring time and February gets me just a wee bit closer to that. *this post contains affiliate links We've just had snow storm after snow storm and it is really getting old. These dreary days start to  bring me down, so I HAD to bring some cheerful Spring accents into our home to help lift my spirits.  The first thing I did was bring up this old shelf that I had in our basement.  I was using this shelf to hold all of my paint cans, but my paint collection pretty much outgrew the self :) It makes more sense to just stack my paint cans up against the wall, and by doing so, I could find a new place to put the shelf. Looking around our home, I decided that next to the front door would be a great spot for it. The storage bench that I had here previously got moved to across the room. This shelf obviously could use a
