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 … Continue reading Harry Potter potion bottles

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 … Continue reading Painting your front door

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. … Continue reading DIY gift box

Getting … Continue reading Fancy cookie attempt

You can always … Continue reading DIY: Baby activity boards

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 … Continue reading Hall lights
