They’re finished (for the most part)!! My pink living room curtains are finished, and oh my gosh, I absolutely love them. Pink. After all of the other options I’ve tried in this room, I never would have thought that pink would be THE color that would be my favorite. As you know, I broke my own cardinal rule when it comes to draperies. And of course, that one rule is to never, ever, EVER use quilting or garment fabric for draperies. Only decorator fabric of an appropriate weight s...

I’ve been working away on my pink living room curtains over the last few days. I thought for sure I’d have them finished to show you by this morning, but I didn’t quite get the last panel finished last night. So I’ll finish it up today and show you tomorrow. In the meantime, I thought I’d give y’all an update on our upcoming remodel. I’m sure some of you are wondering what’s going on with that since I had said that it would start on the 15th, a...

I’ve had a few people ask me if and when I’m going to sell the resin and alcohol ink petries. Well, I happen to have about 40 of them on hand, so I’m going to have a resin petri sale very soon! They all need some sanding and a second coat of resin to make them perfect and shiny, so I’ll be aiming for either Thanksgiving Day or the weekend after Thanksgiving (perhaps Small Business Saturday) to have them all ready to go. But in the meantime, I thought I’d give y&...

Projects haven’t been going well around here lately, so I needed to take a break and just do something fun and artistic. So I tried out an acrylic pour technique that I’ve seen others do lately called the “cloud effect”. As the name would suggest, it’s an effect caused by adding a certain paint (Decoart Americana Satin Enamel) to the white paint, and it creates these billowy clouds of white paint. And while I was at it, I also added a frame to my canvas. I love ...

Y’all, last week was frustrating one! It started with a pink living room drapery fail, followed by me catching a cold, then some sewing machine trouble, and a mystery ailment causing my dog tremendous pain that received a “best guess” diagnosis even after $650 worth of testing. So let me start at the beginning. My Pink Living Room Draperies If you’ll remember, I found the perfect fabric a few weeks ago for living room draperies. It’s this gorgeous soft pink fabr...

Yes, y’all, we’ve made a slight change to our plans yet again. Since we bought this house in 2013, we’ve been planning on using one of the bedrooms as a gaming room for Matt where he could set up all of his gaming consoles (he’s collected almost all of them from the very first Nintendo) to create some hybrid of a gaming room and museum. ?? He’s been excited about that plan, and I was perfectly willing for him to use a bedroom for that purpose. After all, I have ...

Y’all, I thought there was no possible way this was actually going to happen (which is why I was gearing up for another huge resin tile project), but it happened. I found THE PERFECT teal tile for our upcoming master bathroom remodel!! I had looked at sooooo many teal tiles (and supposedly teal tiles) and nothing was right. Don’t get me wrong. You can combine blue and green in just about any ratio, and I’ll love the color — everything from the lightest of aquas to the...
