So, it has officially been Fall for about a week now. I've given in and enjoyed my first Pumpkin Spice Latte (Free with my living social coupon after 3 friends bought the deal from my link), and it was just as wonderful as I remembered it to be. Which means now it is finally time… Continue reading A Little Fall Decorating (And shameless deal bragging!)

Spooky Mod Podge Candles
OhModgeGod! Yes, I'm making it happen, and no Mean Girl will stop me. I saw this post on CraftyScrappyHappy where she upcycled a Bath and Body Works candle by screen printing a pretty lace pattern on it. They came out beautiful and they inspired me to try my own version, only I don't have the… Continue reading Spooky Mod Podge Candles

Check it out, it’s got Cup Holders! – A Tight corner Nightstand Fix
The layout of our bedroom is a bit too narrow for a nightstand on either side. We had a black shelf that Beth scored on clearance for $3 at Target that was already in place. It was mounted on a black painted 2x1 that was screwed into studs on the wall (because, surprise, the hanger… Continue reading Check it out, it’s got Cup Holders! – A Tight corner Nightstand Fix

Just take a look at his apartment when I met him in DC - at least his bed was on a frame off the floor. We've solved the nightstand dilemma with a fancy Ikea Hack, but the… Continue reading If the Door is a knockin’ ~ A DIY Headboard

Window shopping or under-$20 spending is usually the name of the game when we're there. We also use Ikea Hackers as a great inspiration and, as most in the DIY… Continue reading Our RASTafari Adventure – Or, Our first DIY Project

Weekend SCORE – A curvy beauty!
While visiting my parents this weekend to celebrate my Dad's birthday, I did a little 'shopping' through some old family furniture stashed in the basement. And somehow I found this gem! We have this spot in the Pittsburgh apartment next to the kitchen doorway where the intercom is, and its the perfect place for a… Continue reading Weekend SCORE – A curvy beauty!

Z Gallerie Inspired Picture Frame
Ok, I'll admit it, I may be a bit obsessed with Chevron print. And I've been dying to bring it off my Pinterest boards and into my life. But it's so bold and wonderful I decided to start small by dressing up my drab gray cubicle at work with a picture frame. I originally fell… Continue reading Z Gallerie Inspired Picture Frame
