DIY Floating Citronella Candles
For the last couple of weeks, I have been cracking open the PS archives to put a fresh spin on some of my old projects. I started this walk down memory lane last week with a new take on my tiered terracotta planters, and then on Monday I shared an Easter rendition of my donut…
How Not to Paint a Rug
I try to be a positive, glass-half-full kind of person, which I hope is something that comes through on this blog. I have shied away from sharing my project fails for that very reason, tending to wait until I had worked all of the kinks out of the process before sharing here. But, a very…
Spring Wreath Tutorial

To punch up my display, I decided to add some fun medallion accents, which were inspired by these medallions shared by Jen at Tatertots and Jello…

Something about that turquoise door juxtaposed against those bright pink and green hues lit a fire under me, and I knew immediately I wanted to use…
