Post by Contributing Writer, Emily We’ve been in our home for a year and a half and we are slowly getting around to painting walls and hanging pictures. I love supporting artists through Etsy, supporting artist friends of mine, finding unique pieces at farmer’s markets, but mostly I love finding and imagining artwork I can Continue reading DIY Artwork : State Papercut  
Post by Contributing Writer, Holly Goodwill, garage sales, yard sales, flea markets, and even trash (if you’re allowed to search it) are some of the best places to find garden accessories. Sometimes it requires a little imagination though. It’s not always apparent how you might repurpose an item for the garden. You might Continue reading 5 Frugal Repurposed Garden Accessories Post by Contributing Writer, Emily Headbands are one of my favorite hair accessories.

Hand Warmers: Toss a set in the Continue reading 3 Projects in 1 : Hand warmers, Cold Packs, “Bean” Bag Toy {& Giveaway!} Post by Contributing Writer, Beth The weather outside has been dreadfully cold where I live on the Canadian prairies. All this past week there has been a severe cold front hovering over the prairies, and it has been approximately minus forty (and worse) for about 5 days straight. Needless to say, we’ve been fairly housebound Continue reading 56 Inspirations for Housebound Days The “nesting” projects continue, as I finally put curtains up in our front room recently. It is mostly our children’s playroom, but also doubles as our family “hideaway”/living room when the rest of the house is full of guests. This mysterious green-hued paint seems to change with the seasonal lighting of the surrounding windows. (It’s Mythic’s “Aged Continue reading Burlap & Branches: A Woodland Playroom Post by Contributing Writer, Emily We’ve all become accustomed to bringing along our big grocery bags when we go shopping.
