You don’t have to break the bank or spend hours on hours making your home Autumn-worthy. Just a few inexpensive touches is all you need to bring the Fall vibe home.

I know I’m not an interior decorator.

Far from it – *those people (written with a jealous undertone) have a sense of balance, colour, spacing and texture that I just can’t seem to figure out the equation to.

But I aspire…

I want […]

Hale Navy built-ins

Waaaaaay back in November I had the carpeting in our house replaced. Our dog, Lacey, had been ill for about 2 years and had managed to pee and poo on every single square inch of the house. 🤦🏻‍♀️. The only upside to her passing this past summer was that the girls and I could finally remove the carpet and underpad and start fresh with a hygienic home.

BUT, if you are like me, then you know an opportunity existed before the […]

Plywood coasters

Today is no different.

Today I’m going to show you the most AWESOME plywood coasters (most awesome coasters of any kind, anywhere) you’ve ever seen – BUT I’ll also give you the tips I […]

Throw pillow storage

A simple, and free, solution to throw pillow storage and organization – recycled Amazon boxes!

Hi, my name is Shelly and I am a throw pillow addict.

Throw pillow covers to be exact.

I’ve managed to staunch the need to buy every single throw pillow I see, but have instead turned to hoarding throw pillow covers for the existing throw pillows I have.

I lesser evil financially, but one that still takes up too much space.

I was putting away the last of my Christmas […]

Make ceramic-look vases from dollar store glass

Love the look of ceramic decor but hate the price tag that goes with them? With a few dollar store vases, a bit of spray primer and some drywall compound, you can turn anything into designer home decor for a fraction of the price.

I have been looking for vases or ceramic pieces in varying heights to add some interest to a bookshelf I recently built (I’ll be showing it off soon!)

I couldn’t find anything that I liked, that came in […]
