On August 24, 2015 By Em D In Curb Appeal Crafts, Outside Projects

I had a blast playing with ModPodge last week. It’s so simple to use and, though I like to paint things, using MP saves loads of time.   With the new decorative mailbox finished, I …

A New Decorative Mailbox

On August 14, 2015 By Em D In Curb Appeal Crafts, Outside Projects

Special Delivery – Updating the Mailbox

On August 10, 2015 By Em D In Curb Appeal Crafts, Outside Projects

Gallery Wall for a Long Hallway

On August 9, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects

Hey!  Let’s not ask someone (i.e., me) who can’t follow a straight line to build a beautifully composed gallery wall. 🤣 Remember my original mish mosh attempt at a gallery wall?  Not very impressive. A few …

Gallery Wall in the Long Hallway – Part 1

On July 29, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects

We have two verrrry long hallways in our house. No surprise that one is directly one floor above the other, but the one I’m tackling now is the recently painted downstairs back hall. Truth be …

Christmas in July?

On July 25, 2015 By Em D In Christmas, Holidays

Christmas in July has never done it for me. Not that the normal Christmas marketing season is much less offensive, but, wow…that’s always seemed way over the top. That said: yes, I am thinking about Christmas…in …

Welcome, fellow kids!

Hi, I'm Em!
Let's hang out together while I procrastinate and DIY my way though home dec, gardening, and home improvement projects, OR..share a few thoughts on the topic du jour.

The nest is empty, but I live with
Mr. D & D and two-and-a-half spoiled dogs in a house filled with visiting kiddos, lots of love, occasional bickering, and a little bit of...dust and dog hair.

KNOCK KNOCK

WHO'S THERE?

Me, but not too often!
