Earlier this year my beloved porch swing died. Although it wasn't truly a porch swing, since it was on a frame. I digress, it died all the same. Since the frame was still very sturdy, we chose to keep it and were determined to find something to do with it. Originally we had thought of putting the pre-made swings on it, but let's face it: my girls aren't so little any more. Instead of doing that, we decided to make big girl/adult versions, so it would be comfortable for the whole family. Of ... continue reading...
how to make a king size headboard from a hollow core door
Just about every other day at my house, my husband has the pleasure of hearing me say, "I think I have a crazy idea. I know it probably can't be done, but what if..."

Make it: Pebble & Faux Succulent Wreath
Wreaths are my arch nemesis. Seriously. Well, unless they're made from book pages. Or maybe barbed wire. Other than that, I'm kinda a wreck when it comes to making wreaths. I know that pretty much every other DIY homemakin' kinda mama on earth would beat me in a Bobby Flay style wreath throw down. It's all good, I have other strengths {like knowing every word to Ice Ice Baby or making the world's best fruit tea.} Back to the point, I'm a horrible wreath maker. So, when my friend +Angie ... continue reading...
