    Christmas Farmhouse Beads and Wall Decor

    Hi and welcome back! It’s beginning to look a lot like a farmhouse Christmas!  We hope this season finds you happy and healthy.  We are finishing up our Christmas decor here at our home.  If you followed along with our entry in the One Room Challenge® this fall, you may remember the rustic wall decor we made using an old window frame and some farmhouse beads.  That post can be found here if you want to check it out.  Well, today I decided to give that wall decor a little Christmas spirit.     Here’s the original version:     Step1: I removed the decor from the wall, and removed all…

    DIY Christmas wall decor

      Hi everyone and welcome to our tutorial for this really amazing DIY Christmas wall decor.  This may well become one of our families favorite decorations.     Here’s another look.     I have these decorating the hallway and it adds such a magical touch to an area of the house that is difficult to decorate.  The great thing about these; they are so much easier to make than they look! Gather your supplies:     You will need wooden embroidery hoops like these:   The number of hoops you need will depend on the size of the area you wish to decorate. I used 9 hoops for a…

    One Room Challenge – Warm, Cozy Dining Room Reveal

    This week we finished the One Room Challenge® for our warm and cozy dining room.  Who is ready for the reveal and some before and after photos?  I can’t believe we have already arrived at the end of this season’s One Room Challenge®.  I had such a fabulous time that I am already planning which room I will renovate for the spring event.  I also learned so much from the other designers and I really enjoyed following along with their renovations.     If you have followed along with me for the last 6 weeks, thank you so much!  If you are a new visitor, welcome and feel free to check out…

    Ornament Tree DIY

    Welcome back.  Today I want to show you how to make this adorable little ornament tree.  I have seen these selling in stores for between $60 and $90 and I thought it didn’t look that difficult to make, so I figured why not give it a try.  You can see my inspiration here.     It only takes a few supplies to get started.  I used a medium sized floral cone because of the size where I planned to display the completed tree, but you can use any size you like.  Here’s one similar to what I used.  If going smaller, I would recommend getting thinner garland and smaller ornaments.…

“Our new normal.” Like so many of you I am so “Our new normal.” Like so many of you I am so tired of hearing that phrase.  I just want our actual normal back. I want my son to be allowed to high-five his tennis doubles partner. I want my daughter’s gymnastics meets to allow spectators. And I want to hug my mom!  But one thing from this “no where close to normal” time that we are all living in I plan to keep is this #ad automatic soap:hand sanitizer dispenser gifted to me by @uniquetechus.  I installed it by the laundry room sink, which is right by the door our family uses most frequently. It has been great to be able to wash up just steps into the house. Even after the COVID protocols are a distant memory, this will be perfect for washing up coming in from the yard or garage. So while I’m so ready for all of the COVID requirements to go away, I will happily keep this touchless soap dispenser long term. As a New Year’s special, you can use the code 10Crystals for 10% off when you order from Amazon during January!  The link is in my bio. Thank you so much @uniquetechus. Now I just need a touchless faucet to go with it. #uniquetech #newnormal #newnormal2021 #touchlessdispenser #laundryroom #handsfree #laundrysink #bhghome #necessaryandbeautiful #functionaldecor #gifted #cleanhome #cleanhomehappyhome #cleanhomehappymom #currenthomeview #makemyhome #cleanhomeisahappyhome

Don’t you just love seeing a big package on your Don’t you just love seeing a big package on your front porch?  And it’s even better when that package is from @downlitebedding! 

I have searched for years for a pillow that lets me sleep comfortably through the night so when #downlitebedding offered me a couple of their pillows to try I jumped at the chance.  I have been using one of these pillows for a couple of weeks now and I couldn’t be happier!

Everyone in our family tried them out and we all love them.  My teenaged son, who generally isn’t picky about his pillow at all, asked if he could keep one because he liked it better than any pillow he had used before.

The pillows we were gifted are the Jumbo Moisture Wicking, but they also have lots of other wonderful items and you can use the code DYGEN15 to get 15% off everything at Downlite Bedding Company right now!

I finally got to finish my Christmas tablescape! I finally got to finish my Christmas tablescape!  I’m sure a Christmas girl, but I wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate my dining room for Christmas.  I’m so happy to have gotten it finished.  When do you start decorating, and when do you feel wayyy behind if you aren’t finished?  Tomorrow I plan to show you a new Christmas DIY, I can’t wait.  Christmas DIY.  This is definitely my favorite time of the year to decorate!  #bdsdaily91e #redandwhitechristmas #redwhiteandgreenchristmas #seasonalstyle #christmassneakpeek #christmasdecorating #christmas2020 #christmastablescape #christmastablescapes #santaclauseiscomingtotown #sleighride #Lenox #redandgoldchristmas #diningroomdecor #diningroomchristmasdecor

It’s beginning to look more and more like Christ It’s beginning to look more and more like Christmas at our home, and we are all loving our new Christmas tree collar from Hallops Home Decor!  The farmhouse look is enhanced by the rust-look edges, and though our cat loves checking it out, it is keeping Yoshi away from the base of the tree so he hasn’t tried climbing the tree even once!! Win-Win.
