Today’s home tour features the Kailo Chic office space. I use this space to not only hold all my craft supplies, but it functions as the place where I sew all my bags as well. I have so many business supplies, fabric, and crafty items, that my built-ins are filled to the brim and I […]

Happy Summer! Yesterday marked the first official day of summer. Although as summer weather goes, we here in central Texas have been feeling the heat for at least a month or more. Today is all about embracing the summer and changing up your decor for the season. Just as you would add to your decor […]

One thing that you may not know about me is that 5 years ago, I got into soap making for a little bit. I mostly used an already made glycerin soap base to create food themed soaps that both looked and smelled like the real thing. Cinnamony Snickerdoodle cookie soap anyone? The soap making was […]

Yesterday I showed you how to make a fun faux macaron cookie ring, but today I am going to give you a recipe for some real cookies. I made these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for a little get together with friends this past weekend and they were a hit, so I figured I would share […]

It seems like everyone loves macarons these days. And with the different colors and flavors, they are definitely starting to take on the cupcake craze. My sister is a mac lover, so I thought she would get a kick out of this little macaron ring I made for her. Why don’t you whip one up […]

I am officially changing my home tour to Tuesday’s, because Home Tour Tuesday just sounds better. Today I am going to go into the details of my front living room. I guess it is technically the formal living space. But I don’t think there is anything formal about the space. It has a daybed after […]

This weekend I had my college friend and her three girls come stay for a visit. It was fun to hang out with all the kids and show her some of my house projects I have been working on. Despite all the fun, my husband managed to finish up our front yard pathway (he was […]

Cacti are all the rage right now, and because it is pretty much summer down here in Texas and the heat has set in, cacti crafts seem pretty apropo. With out further ado, I give you a cacti pen case.  This little holder could also be used for lipstick/Chapstick, knitting needles, tampons, or other long […]

Since my gallery wall Wednesday feature has officially ended, I decided I to start a new weekly feature featuring different rooms of my house each week. You have already seen several peeks into my house, but this format will hopefully give you more details on each room. I will try to feature a new room […]

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love color. This is apparent not only in my designs and home decor, but in my personal fashion as well. I recently purchased a bag full of summer dresses at a local resale shop, most of which had an elastic waist, but no belt. So, I went […]

Last week when I was playing around with potato stamping, I had the idea to decorate some of my plain white kitchen towels (they are actually flour sack towels from Target). I figured what better way to bring some summer cheer to my kitchen than with pineapples! I love how the pineapples look on these […]

Hey all! I hope you had a great weekend! I was busy entertaining and playing with my kids most of the weekend, but I still managed to get some new shelves built and installed in the guest bathroom.     I have seen several IKEA hacks using the EKBY BJÄRNUM shelf brackets, but my favorite use of […]
