I have been looking for a blush pink linen for quite sometime but with COVID it has made ordering anything pretty difficult. A lot of things are out of stock and shipping times are months out. So, I decided to dye my own linen using Avocados. Avocados turn fabric pink? Sounds ridiculous right? But it works! The end product is a stunning pink that I couldn't have purchased plus my teenage daughter and I had fun doing it together - double win! Supplies you will need: Pre washed white ...
DIY Avocado Dye
DIY plaster pottery
I have been trying to get my hands on some affordable Vintage pottery for a little while now and have had NO such luck. I was not about to spend several hundred dollars on a beautiful piece of Art that my children could very easily break during one of their wrestling matches or their other shenanigans. So I decided to DIY my own. I have used Plaster of Paris for numerous things over the years and felt confident that it would be the best things to use for my DIY pottery. I picked up this urn ...
DIY Stenciled Porch
Our DIY stenciled Patio is finally finished. After starting this project 6+ weeks ago, this is a big accomplishment to my summer project list. From start to finish I would say that I could have got it done in two days. This allows for two base coats of White paint with dry time in-between and then the time to stencil. I had painted and stenciled our porch before (this is the third summer) and it has held up great. I didn't seal it, it is not a covered porch and we live in Michigan so we have ...
Color Block Accent Wall
I had so much fun adding this color blocked wall in our entryway. It all started with this art print from Juniper Print Shop (here).

The great thing about painting anything is it's SO easy to quickly sand and repaint if you end up not loving it after awhile. First I picked out a color for the color block arch. I ...
Inspiration For Our New Build
Picking out all the different designs for our Custom Build has by far been the most fun. We are still in the process of honing out our floor plan and trying to fit everything we want in our new home with our Architect but I wanted to do a post and share all the inspo I have been gathering the last year. Our current home has 1700 sq ft 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Although it really is just fine and we could make it work long term if we needed to, it sure would be nice to have another full ...
Forever Home
Earlier this year we made a huge decision - We bought a chunk of land to build our forever home! We have kept this under wraps for awhile and I am SO happy to finally share. To say we are excited is an understatement! We have been looking for a home for awhile but every time we would find something that fit our needs and had potential for renovations along with the land we desired it would 1. already have accepted another offer 2. we would be in a bidding war and loose or 3. They just wouldn't ...
