All Murals Painting

Our curvy bathroom mural + using all the paint during social isolation!

Welp! It seems like the only thing these days that keeps my head on straight, is creativity. I've been crafting A TONNNN, but I also decided to break open some paints and tackle a few household painting projects that have been on my brain; after all I have quite a bit of hours on my hands (don't we all?!?) :) I have been eyeing up our downstairs bathroom for some time. It's a big space that has never been painted since we moved in (ahem....7 years ago)....so this seemed like the obvious ... continue reading...

I'm on this quest to paint a mural every month (or so...depending on the scale of course) and so far I've completed a colorful wall in our stairway (YAY) and the backdrop to a middle school musical. ANNND this month I just completed a stencil, mermaid inspired wall in my nieces room! It was simple, easy and, I hope, bring loads of JOY to my 4 year old niece (she hasn't seem it yet, they were on vacay when this got painted this week)! ... continue reading...

Stairway wall mural + my creative challenge for 2020

If you haven’t been following along on my instastories, then you maybe have no idea of what 2020 could potentially look like for me!

But after realizing that I had already completed the 2019 creative goals of WHY I started the costume challenge, I knew that I didn’t want to continue.

Confession: I have this thing with color! And I have a theory that paint is cheap and ALLLLL walls should be painted. SOOOOOOO! Combine this truth in my life with Ingrid Fetell Lee’s new book “Joyful” and I have the urge to paint EVERYTHING. Like ALL THE THINGS in our house. I am arguing that this can’t possibly be a bad thing! I got the idea to paint the little wall in our dining room awhile back. It’s a small space that isn’t seen unless you are in the kitchen or dining room, so it felt ... continue reading...

When the world feels so dark I want to be the bear When the world feels so dark I want to be the bearer of light (and color....always more color too)! 
But don’t worry, I won’t drink my paint or paint with my coffee today! 😂 Just eager to start a new project with some fresh color in a secret space for my kiddos. 🎨
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkn “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” 
Swipe to see years of Christmas Eve pics against the light of our Christmas tree that make me smile so gosh darn big 🎄Merry Christmas and may you find light tonight and this week and the rest of this holiday season. ❤️
I partnered with @RodgersAndHammerstein to create I partnered with @RodgersAndHammerstein to create this “My Favorite Things” garland inspired by The @SoundOfMusic! I mean, can we all just take a queue from Maria when she tells us to list off our favorite things when we feel scared, mad, hurt, sad or anything in between?!?! Heck, I feel like even singing them like Maria would be the most helpful in the shenanigans of 2020, right? 

Don’t forget to snag the free printables for this holiday garland and watch The #SoundofMusic airing on ABC, tomorrow night, December 20! :)
Felt bulbs felt bulbs, fa, la, la, la, laaaaaa! I’m burying myself in the last bits of holiday crafting for the whole ding dang day....and if it means i can binge @hallmarkchannel along with it, you won’t hear one ounce of a complaint❤️🎄

Here’s the thing about running a small business: Here’s the thing about running a small business: it’s SO fulfilling to see ideas in my head come to actual life on the planet, it’s rewarding to know my hard work is paying for Esthe’s dance class (or our cable bill so I can keep watching cheesy @hallmarkchannel movies), and it’s so incredibly humbling each time an order come through knowing that someone else believes in what I’m doing or loves what I’m making enough to want to put it in their home or give as a gift to someone they love. Like, still surreal kinda! 😭❤️ 
So a giant “I loveeee youuuuuu” on small business Saturday from this sappy, happy business owner that takes over every unused crevice of our kitchen table or island to paint trees this time of the year 😂 
And and and, use code “YAYsmallbiz” for 20% off in my shop this weekend through Monday night.

My name is Emily and I have a thing for decorating My name is Emily and I have a thing for decorating anything and everything that is house-shaped this year 😬 but in my defense, every little kid needs an added dose of plushy Christmas bulb whimsy and joy in their bedroom to the max. 
Because 2020. 
So I plan to string up 2 or 3 or 12 strands more. 
Because.........again, 2020. 💛
