  It is finally complete! I have been working on decorating this bad boy for a few weeks now and I'm in love! Thanks to my dear husband we were able to turn this cheap IKEA shelving unit into an adorable farmhouse style kitchen shelf pretty easily. See below for our step by step!    This is the IKEA Mulig Shelving Unit which is $59.99 for the largest size. This measures 47 1/4x13 3/8x63 3/4 "    We purchased a 3/4" piece of plywood at Home Depot in which we got cut in store for each shelf. These measure 46 1/2" by 13"    Also at a Home Depot we purchased a tube of Loctite Power Grip and a small can of Golden Pecan stain . This stain matches a few other items in our house so they would all look cohesive.    Once home, let the staining begin.      After one coat of stain was dry we used the Loctite to place the plywood on the shelves...

I have about 10 of these white photo boxes in my living room for storage, and I decided yesterday some needed a makeover. I had a root canal yesterday morning (ahhhh), which left my feeling so much better than before and some free time by myself. This was the outcome! It was very quick and easy, so I wanted to share the tips with you all! 

Gold makes everything better, right guys? And as Trinidad James says, "All Gold Everything".  Today I was finally able to complete a long awaited craft for myself. I've been wanting to do this for a whole, but I wasn't able to find the letter magnets anywhere! Finally, it's time to make this small dream come true. 

After my long search for the perfect desk to fit into this area of my house, I quickly realized I didn't have anything to decorate with! Good thing I love to shop! I also started putting some things in the drawers, so I figure I'll show you guys a sneak peak. 

I'm not sure if I've ever expressed to you guys how much I love decorating with mason jars. Not only are they adorable, but they're also very cheap and very versatile. I was digging through some drawers last week, and found these fake flowers that I bought for a previous project and never used. I decided the spice them up, and get them out of the drawer. So here is my solution to my flowers in the drawer. 

I can't believe I haven't thought of this sooner. It's pretty much pure genius! And unfortunately, I can't take the credit. What did I ever do without Pinterest? I'm pretty sure my life was incomplete until now. 

I'm not sure about you guys, but I always check out the acrylic flower arrangements that stores have to offer, and they are always SO expensive, and they never have exactly what I'm looking for. I saw a video online of a DIY version and I was immediately entrigued. I saw that there was an acrylic water kit offered at Michael's and I was ready to give it a shot. 

Another personal mission of mine is finally complete. I have been stalking Craigslist trying to find the perfect desk for weeks now, and finally one popped up at the perfect price. Now of course, I couldn't just buy it and be happy with it, I had to give it some TLC, so I'm bringing you along on my journey. 

Ikea did it again! I was bored, and I was on the hunt for knick knacks and Ikea was my medicine. Probably a big mistake, but it was fun, and I'm really loving everything I got. Do you guys want to see? 

If anyone is like me, you can't live without a planner. I swear I look at mine about 10 times a day. I keep everything in this baby. From work, to bills, to blog post, to birthdays. Nothing is going to slide past me! The specific planner I have isn't my favorite, but my organization has really seemed to work great for me the last few years, so is love to share some tips with you. 

If I had the money, I would get rid of every piece of furniture in my house and start over. Unfortunately, that isn't possible, so in the mean time, I just renovate. The quick and easiest thing to make your space feel brand new is to paint your furniture! 

Hello there ladies! I have an exciting little addition to my home to share with you guys. So to fill you in on my situation , my dream job was an interior designer, but I couldn't afford to go to school. Now that I'm older and have my own home, I'm very disappointed with how it is decorated. I don't have the funds to go crazy with my real decorating dreams, but I can take one step at a time, and eventually get my home to be the dream home I've always wanted.  This weekend my goal was a coffee bar. We are coffee people. I've always wanted one, and I've just never gone through with it.  My boyfriend built this console table for me about a year ago. I needed something tall and slim for a specific area, and this was the perfect size. It was later painted black and has since been an accent table in our house.  I went to Target and bought a pack of Mug Hooks for about $3, and I started my magic.  And ta da. So simple and easy, ...

Our 2nd Snowpocalypse in a month, and I couldn't take it anymore. I needed a craft to keep me occupied. Lucky for me, Valentine's Day is in two days, so why the heck not! 

Hello there everyone! If you've been here before then you know I love easy DIY projects. My favorite DIY's are ones that are started and finished in the same day. I like instant gratification. Today I decided to do something quick and easy and I've been wanting my vanity mirror to be white. 

I can't count on my fingers how many things MakeupByTiffanyD has made me jealous of, and the Prada Marfa sign she showed in her Home Decor posts is one of them. I searched it, and realized the price was very unrealistic for me, until I found a new YouTube named Bailey De Anna. I noticed a video, of how to make a DIY Prada Marfa sign. Score! 

Who has been invited to a Christmas party this year and has to bring a meal option? Probably most of us. Today we are about to head off to my family Christmas party, and we wanted to bring an easy, fun, and quick desert option. I headed to Pinterest, as usual, and found this wonderful recipe for No Bake Reeses Cheesecake cupcakes, and I would love to share my take on the recipe with you guys!

Now I'm going to have to take a guess and say this isn't the first post you've seen on decorating coffee mugs, but I wanted to go ahead and share my approach and my techniques with you. This is the gift I have made for my Grandmother this year for Christmas (don't worry guys, it's still a surprise, she doesn't understand the internet). I ALWAYS make my Grandmothers Cheostmas presents, it feels like so much more this way.  Supplies needed -  Coffee Mug Sharpie (oil based) or a paint pen Oven  Creativity First you start out with a blank coffee mug. Dollar Tree is the best place to purchase a mug, for two reasons, one it's $1, and two the cheaper cups hold the sharpie the best. For best results and stating power, use an oil based sharpie or a paint pen if available.  I had no idea what I wanted to draw so I called my boyfriend in for his art skills, I have none. I quickly decided you're never too old for stick people so I took ...
