We've had a space under our stairs that has previously been filled with boxes and papers and random stuff (that truthfully never REALLLLLLY needed to be stored and kept.....ya know, the boxes that get moved from house to house to house without anyone ever opening them)! So when our basement flooded this past summer, it gave us an excuse to pitch + toss out these soggy boxes full of things that we didn't need any longer. Zeke INSTANTLY asked if we could turn this space into an indoor clubhouse ... continue reading...
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...
How to paint a mermaid scale mural wall (to hopefully make a 4 year old’s dreams come true)! :)
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! At the start of January, I did a wrap up of my 2019 costume challenge (more HERE) and was asked if I was going to continue with it. I hemmed and hawed and thought on it for a few days. 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. BUUUUUT I DID love the idea of ... continue reading...
Our colorful, diagonal grid dining room mural + my urge to paint more!
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...
