My husband and I were finally able to begin a new house project this weekend. Although, it wasn’t planned and happened spur of the moment Saturday morning.  This weekend was our community garage sale, and as we sat outside on our driveway our conversation turned to our front yard and how horrible it has been […]

  Everywhere you look (at least here in central Texas) there are signs that Cinco de Mayo is approaching. I figured I would give you a new spin on celebrating the holiday with my recipe for breakfast tostadas. And I use the word recipe very loosely here. It is more like a list of ingredients […]

So far this week we have seen Madeline’s bathroom and bedroom, made fun tissue paper art, and decorated a plain Ikea dresser with pink glitter chevrons. Today however, I am going to show you a twist on one of Madeline’s favorite things. The popsicle. That girl loves her some popsicles. You may remember the Easter […]

As I promised yesterday, today I am showing you the simple little ikea hack we did to Madeline’s Malm dresser. I think she felt left out after seeing the cute O’verlays I put on Parker’s dresser, and told me one day, “I am going to go decorate my dresser now”, while toting a bag of […]

Since this week is all about my daughter Madeline, today’s Gallery Wall Wednesday feature is her pink polka dot bedroom wall. As I mentioned in this post about her bathroom, her bedroom was also painted a pepto pink color when we moved in. After redecorating her bathroom, I convinced her to let me paint at least one […]

To continue in the week of Madeline, today I wanted to show you the piece of art work we created for the gallery wall in her room (which you will see tomorrow!).   The supplies you will need to make your own super awesome tissue paper art piece are: *Tissue paper in your chosen color […]

It turns out that not much was accomplished this weekend in terms of house changes. Unless the kids making it super messy counts. But, I was able to complete several new DIY projects that I will be showing you in the next few weeks. As far as house decorating and renovating goes however, nada. I did decide […]

Say that title three times fast! The moment I saw this unglazed ceramic vase in Target’s new Handmade Modern aisle, I knew it was just begging for a fun design and to be turned into a pen and pencil cup for my desk. To make this triangle pencil cup, I used decoupage medium, a couple tiny […]

A year or so ago, I went to the local Habitat ReStore with my mom to scour for diamonds in the rough. The only thing I ended up getting during that trip were two luggage racks that looked a little like the before picture below. They had probably close to 200 of those things for $2 […]

For today’s Gallery Wall Wednesday feature, I’m sharing the Kailo Chic office’s gallery wall. This is what I look at everyday when I’m sewing and cutting out fabric for my bags and accessories. I love all the colors and just looking at it gives me inspiration daily. In addition to my love of all things […]

I’m excited to share today’s DIY project with you! If you’re like me, you love fun home décor items, but are on a budget and don’t want to break the bank on something as simple as door pulls. There are many affordable options out there, but some of the nice pulls are anywhere from $10 to […]

This weekend, I had to tend to a sick little boy, so not much on my to do list got accomplished. I was however able to break away during a few of his naps to put up two new shelves in his bathroom and add some décor items. He’s doing much better now, so I […]
