The living room might be the space where we spend the most time hanging out with family and friends in our house. So it is time to upgrade your sofas, armchairs, coffee tables, and more. A new coat of paint on the walls or new curtain layouts are wonderful ways to give a new life to your living room, but luxury furniture pieces are also an option. All luxury furniture pieces have one thing in common: high-quality materials. They use higher quality wood, leathers, and metals that are often more durable than standard home furnishings. Remember that luxury means something different for everyone, but luxuryRead More →

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Dollar Store craft and I have to admit that I missed them dearly. With Halloween (arguably my favorite holiday) coming up I decided to mask up and brave the local DollarTree to see what I could find! The hardest part of the trip was settling for what type of craft to do but in the end, I settled for this fun dollar store Crystal Ball project! I think they will go perfectly with the potion jars we made a couple of years ago. Since I never know exactly how a craft is going to turn out IRead More →

With the kids home from school for the foreseeable future and the pressure on to keep them busy, I’ve been on the lookout for fun activities that we can do together. Watching the birds in the backyard has always been enjoyable in the mornings so when I saw this DIY bird feeder kit on amazon I knew it would be the perfect little project for me and kids. Next up perhaps we’ll try a birdhouse! The kit we picked came with everything you need to build the feeder (minus the hammer and any paints) and was relatively simple in its design. While the kids haveRead More →

st patricks day candle

I have to admit that I have been wanting to melt down some crayons and attempt to make my own candle for quite a while now! St. Patricks day seemed like the perfect opportunity to give this a try! With fun themes like shamrocks, golden coins and rainbows there are plenty of opportunities to personalize this St Patricks day candle project to fit any decorating theme you might have. While our family doesn’t celebrate St. Patricks day very much I still find it fun to do a few small things to celebrate. These smaller holidays are a great way to break up the months andRead More →

There is a guaranteed satisfaction that com with constructing something out of a piece of wood, metal, or other material. It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece, and cheers don’t need to be heard coming from friends and family on rooftops. There is no need for validation in self-accomplishment except for your personal sense of gratification. This can come from not only creating new things but also from small repairs, renovations, and tasks that you could call a repair person for but instead tackle on your own. That is what do-it-yourself or DIY is all about, and some people wouldn’t have things any other way.Read More →

I have to say that I was immediately attracted to the variety of things I saw people making with needle felting. It seems that with a bit of patience you can make anything you can think of. Not only that, but theRead More →

We all know someone with a hobby they love! Odds are they talk about it endlessly, they might spend a good bit of money on it and they have probably tried to talk you into joining them at least once. People can’t help it – when we find something we love its natural to try and share that love with others. The passion and joy you hear in your friend’s voice when they talk about their hobby are one of the most important clues as to why hobbies are important – but it’s not the only one.
