Simple & Stylish Bunny Art

I had a little help with this classy little bunny art.  My daughter took my vision and really ran with it or should I say hopped?  So sorry, I could literally not control myself.  I am so lucky to have such a crafty helper in the house. 

We used existing frames which are hanging in our kitchen…which I have blogged about before here.  I love to change these out for Holidays.  They are the perfect scrapbook paper size of 12 x 12.

Using black scrapbook paper as our “mat” we (and by “we” I mean Cheyenne) covered it with brown packaging paper from the Dollar Store.

Next up, tracing our Bunny Silhouette.  Cheyenne used bowls and another sheet of black scrapbook paper to complete the bunny.

I added the cute little tail with a trimmed down cotton ball. 

Be sure to stop by tomorrow and see the Spring kitchen reveal, complete with simple & stylish bunny art.

What I'm Working On...

My husband is a Science Teacher and his school is getting ready to undergo a renovation.  Last week, he brought home this little beauty from the backroom.

How fun right?  It looks like a chair, which is why he saved it from the trash.  I was very proud of him for recognizing the potential in this little treasure.  I think unique pieces like this really make a house a home.  

I need to “man” it up a bit for Aiden, but I am confident it will turn into a great little chair for his room. 

What are you working on?

Think Spring & Play Bunco

Once a month my mom goes for a night out to a lovely ladies game of Bunco.  This month she is hosting and asked me to create a custom score card for her event.  

My mom is totally a girly-girl when it comes to Spring, so I created a pretty girly score card to match.  

You can download one for yourself here for free!

I was over the top excited when she told me about her menu.  

It sounded so fresh & springy! 

Here is a list of what she will be serving & the recipes to create your own Think Spring & Play Bunco Party.

Ribbon DIY Rack

All of these home projects have put me in the mood to organize everything, plus I cannot seem to tear myself away from Pinterest.  I may need an intervention! 

If you recall a little while back, I did a re-organization of my craft supplies.  You can read more on that organization here.  My ribbon supply is pretty small right now, but it was a mess.  Check out the before…

Ok…I know it was a shameful mess!  Here is the after.  I used the Martha Stewart Ribbon Organizing box which you can purchase here.

 I also had to share with you this amazing ribbon rack that my friend Cathy made…all by herself. 

Now Cathy is a rock star because I always have to ask the hubby for help when using power tools, but she is my inspiration to give it a try on my next DIY project. 

 Kathy found the dimensions from here and got to work.  Not only does she have an amazing collection of ribbon but her new organizer was too amazing not to share.  What are you organizing in 2013?

Desk Inspiration

Have you carved out an area of your home just for yourself?  The past two days I have shared how I was able to accomplish this in my home for a $0 budget.   

You can find those posts here and here.

Now I know not everyone has an antique desk in the basement just waiting to be whisked away…so what is the solution? 

Here are some amazing low-budget make-overs and DIY desks that I found on Pinterest when I was planning out my space. 

I hope you will find them to be inspirational like I did!

Bloggy Space Makeover Reveal

So my design dilemma was how do I create a bloggy space for myself in our family room…on a $0 budget?  To read Part I of this make-over click here!

I “borrowed” my husband’s desk from our basement!  I love this desk; it is an antique from my grandmother.  The desk looked great in the basement, but was only be used about once a week for grading papers. 

I agreed to keep my husband’s things in the desk and he helped me move it upstairs.  I was very happy with how it turned out!  Now I have my own bloggy space and a hot wheel free zone.  Of course, I now need to come up with a new plan for the empty space in the basement…stay tuned for that make-over which will be coming soon!

Now I know this solution will not work for everyone…so tomorrow I will be featuring some low-budget and DIY desk spaces that I found as I was scanning Pinterest for ideas on my make-over.

Bloggy Space Makeover Part I

As my blog has grown I have found it increasingly hard to carve out a little space in the house to claim for myself. 

When Aiden was born, I lost my office/library/craft room.  Now don’t get me wrong, I was over the moon excited to design a nursery (You can see more of Aiden’s Nursery Here)…but I lost my space in the house. 

I tried the kitchen table…not too successful because I was always packing up and moving everything. So here is where I have been blogging...

What I really need is a place where I can work, without having to pack up and move my calendar, post-its and computer continually.  Oh and a Hot Wheel free zone…we always have Hot Wheels everywhere! 

So my design dilemma is how do I create an office nook for myself in our family room…on a $0 budget? 

Be sure to stop back tomorrow to see my completed bloggy space make-over!
