IKEA HACK

I love this Ikea hack from The Painted Hive.It would definitely fulfill my desire for a card catalogue. I can totally see them stacked about 3 high and 3 deep for an entryway or small buffet table. Sadly, though, the Ikea Moppe system that she used isn't sold in the US. Boo!

Chalkboard Fridge

I REALLY want to do this to the bisque fridge we inherited when we moved this summer. Might be my first "big" project at the new house!

Well It's About Time

Ok. So I have wanted to start a blog for awhile, but I just felt so dang intimidated! I love all things design and craft related; and I read some pretty great blogs. I don't have near the budget or resources that some of them do and, with two little ones, my time is pretty limited.

 But over the summer we moved into a wonderful and incredibly dated house. I decided that this was my chance to start blogging about all the things I do to the house in an effort to spiff it up a bit and make it more "us." I'll be working with a small, sometimes non-existent, budget and a lot of  imagination.

 Plus,I hope to share some fun crafts, entertaining, and DIY gift ideas. Anything that strikes my fancy and makes me smile. Hope you like it.
