I'm a huge Beatles fan and fell instantly in love with this image when I saw it on Pinterest a few weeks ago. What a simple way to honor one of my favorite bands and a great song. After a bit of research and a little shopping trip for some supplies I devised a way to make my own version. Unfortunately the image was not linked to the original source.My supply list included a small canvas, computer print out, acrylic gel medium and a variety of acrylic paint colors. I painted the canvas a solid … [Read more...]
crafty time
Crafty time project overload. That addicting little thing called Pinterest, is filling my brain with all sorts of wonderful crafty ideas I want to do. Problem is I can't seem to find the time to do them all. I end up making weekly daydreaming stops at Jo-Ann Fabrics and Michaels' to stock up but I haven't managed to finish anything. Just a glimpse of what I have in process...Pillow cases. Many pillow cases. All my pillow inserts have been sitting on the sofas throughout the house naked since … [Read more...]
spring craft room cleaning
I guess it really should be summer cleaning since it is in the 90s out. Whatever the case, the time to get organized has arrived.

The hubby thought I was nuts but I found the photographic evidence I needed to show him that painting the brick was exactly the way we needed to go. Painting brick is a very controversial topic but for our style it really fits. This is what our place currently looks like complete with crazy … [Read more...]
nasty little buggers – i hate termites
Termites. Lots and lots of termites did this to our original hardwoods. We live in South Florida so termites love the humidity and thrive here. The little buggers decided it was time to start swarming around the house too. Gross.Thankfully, the structural components of our house are in great shape with barely any damage. The main roof beams and floor joists are made of Dade County Pine - a wood that termites don't seem to enjoy as much as our red oak floors. So now that we've moved in with all … [Read more...]
master bedroom dreams
I'm jumping the gun and looking at master bedroom ideas. Why do I even bother when our master bedroom currently looks like this?! Relaxing looking room, right? Sigh...it looks more like Home Depot than a master bedroom. For the record we are not sleeping in this room. This is just storage for now. ;)Until we manage to get this room done I will dream of clean, simple and modern looking master bedrooms. We have plenty of time to decide which way we are going but the room is huge...as in 14 X 24 … [Read more...]
