Leap Day a.k.a. The Day We Got A Snowstorm

Happy Leap/Hump/Snow Day!!

Here it is February 29th and we just got our fist big bite of Minnesota winter. It has been the most amazing, mild winter I can remember. Here is what I woke up to this morning.

Wine bottle transformation {Quick Tutorial}

As part of my quest to find and make pretty home decor for cheap, I saved this wine bottle a while back and have just had it sitting on my Expedit shelf in the living room.

I got sick of looking at its dark green color and decided it needed a little makeover. Hemp to the rescue!!!

My DIY World Map

I LOVE traveling and I have wanted to make my own world map for quite a while now. I just thought it would be a great way to add something fun to my walls and have it be one-of-a-kind. I found this awesome post on KoJodesigns. This is just what I needed to get my butt in gear and create some unique and inexpensive art for my walls.

DIY Sunburst Mirror

This was a little project I whipped up right before Christmas {and right before I started my blog} for a do-it-yourself sunburst mirror. I didn't get any "during" shots, but I thought this was a good rough draft. I have all the supplies to make another one {I'm hooked!}. So once I get the time to put another one together I will post a little tutorial on how I made this!

Technical Difficulties

I am working on a few different projects right now, and if you have seen my house recently, you understand what I'm talking about.

There. Are. Crafty. Projects. EVERYWHERE.

Ahh Ribba Shelves

On the first of the year, my good friend Nichole and I decided it was time to head to Ikea and grab some fun stuff for our casas. She was on a mission to find her desk for her office while I have had my eye on some shelves to hang on my-still-bare walls. I knew I wanted something to hang in my itty-bitty dining room and knew I wanted these. They are pretty low profile, yet make a big impact with a few personal items like pictures and artwork.
