Baking, Building and Raising Babies We are tackling life one DIY at a time while balancing a family, a budget and a hectic daily life.
The holidays are upon us and while we dig our Artificial Trees out of our storage units, attics or basements, many of us find the tree damaged and not up to the task of holding our ornaments or lighting up our home. Before you go to toss that tree, though, here are some GREAT DIY Upcycles you could try!
Feature walls are everywhere right now and it is a trend I am HERE for! I love that you can go as bold or as subtle as you want and can totally reinvent a space without any major structural changes. When we first started designing a room makeover for our toddler, I thought a Feature Wall would be a great way to make his space special for him. His ever growing Sports Memorabilia Collection led me to the idea of doing Diamonds on his wall as a understated nod to his Baseball Collection.
Being a maker means I’m always holding onto things. Good looking coffee cans? I’ll repurpose them in the shop. Toilet paper rolls? I’ll turn those puppies into binoculars before you can even bat an eye. We go through a LOT of oatmeal in this house between cookies, granola bars, and breakfasts, and those containers get used for a lot of storage. If you double them up, they also happen to be the perfect shape and height for a decorative vase of dried Pampas Grass.
