Looking Forward to a Little Green Even if it's Just Inside!

Whose ready for spring yet?  I know I say I want snow, but with two good snowstorms under our belt in the last week or so as well as a school closure, I'm kinda itching to see some green instead of all the white.  I know green isn't coming outside for a while, but to brighten our spirits I'm bringing the green inside.  So the plan is to start lettuce and spinach seeds indoors, but I needed a place to plant them so I created these planting crates out of cedar wood and some leftover barnwood.  Come on and see how easy these are to make, and you probably have all the supplies necessary already!

The Home Looks Empty After the Christmas Stuff Came Down, Need Winter Decor

Within the last week or so I've de-Christmased our house, and I'm amazed at how empty it looks or maybe I just have too many Christmas decorations.  Well either way now I have to start filling it back up with some winter decor.  I hit this week running ready to create all the ideas I had in my head, but boy how easy it is to get derailed or maybe my expectations were too great because I didn't get it all done however I do have a few new items to show you.

Where did the summer go??

Holy smokes is it fall already??  Didn't the summer just start?  Well I guess if it went that fast then I know we had a good time, right?  Between the camping, visits to Wyoming, and an epic opportunity to see the total solar eclipse, I can safely and confidently say that yes we had a good summer.  

Now that we are decorating for fall and bidding summer adieu, it's been super fun to create new decor for maybe one of my most favorite seasons.  We have just rolled out some of our latest wooden decor for home just in time to decorate for fall.

Don't Throw Out the Leftovers!

We all have some leftover scrap from finished projects, so this particular project takes using your leftovers to a whole new meaning.  Remember these doors?  They became library shelves and storage in our work studio, but I still had the bottom half of the dirty door from the library shelves.  By adding a leftover drawer front I had laying around from an old dresser I refinished, what did I get?

My Nephew's Birthday is Coming, But What to Make Him?

My little nephew is turning two in a week, and I wanted to make him a little something for his birthday, as well as adding some books to the gift.  What goes more perfect with books than some building blocks to play with!  So what did we do?  That's right we made them!!

Harvest Storage Help!

We've been harvesting and harvesting from our long awaited dream vegetable garden.  It's been a stellar year for sure with an excellent harvest thus far.  The one thing I didn't think of was how am I going to store all of this excellent produce.  We have been freezing and canning, but some of it you just have to give away or eat yourself now!  We needed a storage system for the counter to keep us neat and organized so we made one that fit our space perfectly.

Salvaged 2 x 12's Turned to Custom Shelving Unit

We are feverishly putting in all the plants and seedlings for our vegetable garden, so much work in fact that we have gotten a little behind on all of our other responsibilities, however we managed to make a much needed shelving unit for our music room this week all out of salvaged 2 x 12's.  We had no real organization for all of our piano music, most of the time it would just end up scattered on the floor and stepped on etc, definitely not the ideal situation, so we built and distressed our unit using old 2 x 12's to help us store and organize our music.

This custom built to order shelf unit was easy to construct, and the distressed painting technique we used was even easier.

Rustic Decor Additions for Wyoming

Follow my blog with Bloglovin


If you have followed my blog for any time you know that our family has a place in windy Wyoming. It's been in the family for many years, and the Flying X Ranch holds a dear place in my heart.  We have had our place up there for about seven or eight years now, and quite frankly it needed some rustic decor to spruce up the place.  I've had these ideas for a year or two, but up until now I've not done anything about it.  We are ready to start heading back up there again this summer, and I thought it was time to add some decor to make it feel like a home away from home.

Here's how everything turned out!

We Just Need Some Home Decor There?!?

Have you ever stared at a space in your house, and thought this space needs something?  But what? I had just that space at the base of my stairs on the main level.  It needed something.  Well I finally did something about it, I built and installed a console table that was just exactly what this little space needed.

This table was super easy to create and even easier to install.
