One of my favorite Halloween decorations is our potion bottle display. This year I found Harry Potter potion labels and immediately ordered them. I am so happy with the quality, and there are so many different options. They look like they are straight out of the movies, and I love the Harry Potter halloween aesthetic …

Painting your front door

About two years ago I was going through my Better Homes and Garden magazine and they had a small article on best paint colors for your door. I fell in love with the blue paint they showed and promptly stripped, sanded, and painted my door (it took about 2 weeks because I don't have all …

This is random, but…

Everyone should replace their toilet seats with soft close toilet seats. Toilet seats are so easy to replace, you just have to follow the instructions on the package. YouTube always helps too. It is so nice not to have a toilet seat slam down and I realized how much i loved it when i visited …

DIY gift box

I recently switched (2 containers ago) to Dose and Co collagen. When I finished the last container, I felt like it was such a pity to throw it away. Looking at it, I realized it was the perfect size for a gift container AND it was cardboard so it would be very easy to paint. …

Want a cute way to show your gal pals that you love them? I recently started to relearn how to embroider and made some Valentine's Day cocktail napkins. Pair them with a bottle of champagne, and you have a perfect gift! I bought these a few months ago and honestly forgot about them. When I …

Hall lights

My husband and I joked today that I have been searching for new hall lights for the past 3 years. I just can't find the *perfect* light. I know I want the light to be open on the bottom because closed lights are hard to clean and little buggies get in them and die. There …
