One of the reasons I have fallen out of love with my home is the lack of storage. This is often a downfall in open floor plan homes. The rare closet we do have must do double, sometimes even triple, duty. Such is the case with our entryway closet. Another downfall of most Arizona homes: no basement or attic.

Spice Girl
I spent Sunday afternoon cleaning and organizing my spice cabinet. It didn’t really seem like work. So this Spice Girl made a few changes. It all began when I spotted this old spice rack at a thrift store a few weeks ago. Do you see the $5.00 price tag? It made me think about what my current baking center looked like. Then I spotted this gem at the Goodwill. (You can also find vintage and antique spice racks and bottles on eBay.) While I have plans for the blue spice rack, I gave this ... View the Post
A Light Fixture Goes From Brass To Class

I gave it serious thought. For two years. I really wanted to ... View the Post

Fall Fun With Felt I overestimated the amount of felt that I needed for my ... View the Post
Shake Your Pom Pom Wreath Tutorial
I created this wreath a few months ago knowing that the holidays would sneak up on me and be here like… tomorrow. I am so glad I did. Here is the Shake Your Pom Pom Wreath Tutorial. While out shopping at Goodwill I spied a huge bag of leftover yarn and thought I could incorporate a bit of the yarn trend with a pom-pom wreath. (The base was a recycled grapevine wreath.) I know you’ve probably seen pom-pom wreaths. One of my favorites is by Bleubird Vintage. I thought that using a light ... View the Post
Mum’s The Word Fall Wreath Tutorial
While the thermometer might read 110 degrees here in Phoenix my heart says that it is fall. I recently created a new wreath for the front door. Here is the Mum’s The Word Fall Wreath Tutorial. As a child my grandma Mary always had a garden full of beautiful marigolds and mums during the season of autumn. I thought that such a happy memory would be a great way to welcome guests to our home. For the felt leaves I used a template from Creating Cupcakes. Holly used embroidery floss to ... View the Post
