*This post has been sponsored by Dremel in a holiday gift guide challenge, but all projects are chosen by me (full disclosure)* I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this you love DIY- I mean, that’s why you’re here, right? Those DIY skills you’ve got can make your holiday gifting totally awesome… if you …
I really don’t do much for seasonal decor. It’s not that I don’t love it, I just don’t love having a LOT of stuff to store year round for one season. I really wish I could be a minimalist- the lack of stuff would feel so good- but I just like my stuff too much. …
I’ve had this project on my mind for a while now and I’m so glad I finally took a nap time and made it happen. And it only took that- one nap time! This simple DIY leather pennant is such a rad wall hanging, I love how the weathered leather plays off the crisp white …
Today I’m excited to share a fun update we made to the twins shared bedroom. I had ‘finished’ their big kids room a while ago, but was never totally happy with it. I’m still not. I have big plans, you guys ;) but I’ve finished one of the projects that I’ve been planning to do …
Today I’m over at Remodelaholic sharing this minimal floating vanity for a kids room. It’s slim enough to fit behind a door (without getting bumped!), fun enough to be a feature in the room, and practical to free up precious bathroom space during ‘rush hour’. I’m really happy with how this one turned out, you …
This DIY breakfast tray upgrade is the perfect fun addition to your standard wooden breakfast tray to Treat yo’self. It takes dry toast breakfast in bed to donuts and coffee while lounging in bed midday. And it’s darned simple to make using my free template, friends. We have a lot of un-fun projects going on …
Fall is the time of parties around this house. Between birthdays and holidays, it seems like there’s always an event going on. Today I’m sharing one of my favourite each year- the twins’ birthday. They’re three years old already (somehow #saideverymomever) and this year all they wanted was a picnic party. And when I say …
Right now you’re probably thinking one of two things. You’re either thinking- man, this is pretty last minute Colleen. Or you’re thinking, Thanksgiving already? That’s pretty far away still. And your reaction… tells me if you’re Canadian or American ;) In Canada, we’re about a week away from Thanksgiving. …
Even though the weather is turning cooler and we’ll be stuck to relaxing indoors most of the time, we are finally finishing up our outdoor space. My dad and his wife came and stained our deck while we were on a day trip a few weeks back (BEST GIFT EVER) and we purchased some new …
Today I’m excited to be sharing a cheaters Chai Scented Wood Wick Candle with you all. Not because it’s the BEST project I’ve ever done (it’s not), and not because it’s the most difficult project I’ve ever done (also, it’s not), and not because it’s the most beautifully photographed and styled project …
*Thank you to Wayfair for sponsoring this post. For my full disclosure and policies, hop over here* One of my favourite traditions is one we started a couple years ago with our friends- Friendsgiving. The busier life gets and the more kids that come into the picture, the harder it is to get together. I …
Okay you guys, this is a really long title… because I wasn’t too sure what to call it! But whatever it’s called, I’m in love with it. I love the function (no more scratched floors from my kids dragging around their book basket), I love the colour, and you know I love anything that incorporates …
