Do you ever think about moving? Sometimes I dream of relocating to Wisconsin. We just returned from a family vacation on Crystal Lake near Plymouth, WI (a favorite spot of ours since I was young). We LOVE lake life in Wisconsin... we love the friendly people, the supper clubs, the brats and beer, and the CHEESE - oh that glorious cheese. I may have ate half my weight in dairy and drank the rest in craft beer... but alas, vacation is over. And, we aren't moving anytime soon. In fact, we … [Read more...] about Vintage Backyard Shed Makeover
Starry Night Stencil Patriotic Table Makeover
I'm a child of the 80s. And to be honest... until recently when I thought of stencils (or the art of stenciling) my mind would fill with images of primitive decor and painted amish kids sitting next to bent willow trees with a heart in between them.

In fact it is a … [Read more...] about Another Happy Door Makeover with Front Door Paint
Front Porch Refresh
I just finished another project with Country Chic Paint and this time I used their color, Bliss. Head on over to their blog for all the details on my bench makeover with this beachy-blue hue. It is by far my favorite color yet. And it pairs perfectly with my happy door. The rain somehow missed our part of the state last weekend so we managed to power wash the entire house. It seriously makes such a difference! My front porch always feels cleaner and fresher after a good shower - it … [Read more...] about Front Porch Refresh
DIY Image Transfer Sign
I am crazy about hand-lettered signs and free printables. Who's with me? They make even the most simple quotes and sayings into a work of art. I'm always printing freebies to display around my house. I found this free Spring printable from Ella Claire here. I wanted to make my own hand-lettered printable but I lack any hand-lettering skills (as of yet)... So, today I'm going to share how to add your own hand-lettered printable to a wood sign with Country Chic Paint's Image Transfer … [Read more...] about DIY Image Transfer Sign
