    How To Make Curtains

    A few months ago, I asked y’all for help deciding on a curtain color for our bedroom and I had a reader suggest going with another pop color like coral. And like the next week, seriously, I found the most perfect coral tray for our bedroom at none other than Target. I loved the look of the coral with the aqua dresser and decided to try and find some coral curtains to match. But much like gray, coral is a tricky color and just like lamps, curtains are expensive.  I was not about to spend $100+ on four curtain panels for our room so I turned to Pinterest and learned…

It was exactly what I was looking for to go in our newly-painted bedroom {which also was painted almost five months ago}. Man, I’m a slacker! Can you even believe this is the same dresser?

    DIY Chalkboard Art

    Happy Monday y’all! We had a busy weekend full of Christmas goodness! We hosted our first family Christmas for the season with Cory’s moms side of the family, had Christmas lunch with my Moms side of the family on Sunday and finished the weekend with an ugly Christmas sweater party with our community group {I’ll share all the pictures later this week!}. I can’t tell you how excited I am to have the next couple of days to finish up some Christmas stockings, grocery shopping and maybe even get a manicure. Before I get to all that, I wanted to share a quick and easy DIY if you are looking…
