Wood Cut Letter Holder / Mail Organizer
I sat there for what must have been 30 minutes straight, staring at the chopped down pile of my previously glorious trees. I love the woods around my house, but those mean ‘ole electric company guys chopped down a mini forest’s worth to run a new line to my house. So I sat there a little sad, and quite puzzled […]

Floating Frame Tutorial { The Loose Fit }
A floating frame around canvas art (whether you painted it yourself or purchased it) can bring a certain chic quality to the art. I love the effect it offers when surrounded by other framed artwork. Stunning!  Unfortunately a floating frame for a canvas costs anywhere from $100 – $300 in stores and online. How would you […]
Floating Frame Tutorial {The Snug Fit}
I often find myself swooning over someone else’s gorgeous gallery walls and wishing and dreaming for a few amazing art filled walls of my own. The thing about great art is that it can be quite costly… come to think of it, even “inexpensive” pre-framed art can be quite costly, especially after you’ve purchased several $30-$50 pieces. I’m […]
How To Create The Ultimate Sewing Kit
It’s that moment when you’re rushing to finish a project and you absentmindedly reach into your sewing kit for the scissors and get a finger full of needles instead. Oooouch! Nope, no more… what is the purpose of a sewing kit that neither separates, organizes, or stirs my creativity? Sometimes you just have to invent a solution […]
A Lovely Little DIY Desk Calendar
I’m in love with this project—not only is it ridiculously easy, it also combines two of my favorite things: watercolors and ombré. C’mon, who doesn’t want a pretty little desk calendar in their office? And don’t worry—you don’t need to be an artist to pull off this project. If you can hold a […]
Chic Wrapping Paper Storage
I have a weakness for wrapping paper. It’s like their pretty designs and textures just call out to me “Ursula, hey, look how cute I am…you totally want to take me home, I’m only $2!!”, and I can never resist. I can’t seem to walk into a Home Goods or a Target without walking out with […]

Paper filing was driving me crazy, so finding the perfect solution to simplify that process was vital!

It is a simple solution to bring high style […]

A Puzzling Dilemma – The Ultimate Puzzle Storage
Puzzles are a favorite Saturday afternoon activity for my family. I love seeing my three girls, heads bent, chins cradled by little hands, curls bobbing about as they determinedly search through puzzle pieces. At those times I’m glad I took the extra time to create a special puzzle storage area. Of course, it was as […]
DIY Wire Baskets
I have wanted wire baskets forever! Ever since seeing them in a lovely Pottery Barn catalog. But $20-$30 for a single large basket? Uhhh, yeah right, even if my husband said “honey I want to buy you something special” I’d have to say no… are you kidding, do you know how many beautiful things I could […]
Gold Sprayed Jars
When a craft work space is as much display as it is function, you want your tools to be stored in an attractive manner. What better way to accomplish this than a few gold sprayed jars? Pretty, practical, mostly free, and it adds some sparkle? Why yes please! Â Start by collecting a variety of […]
The Wannabe Artist
Being the daughter of an artist can be…well, inspiring, sometimes frustrating. Occasionally you watch him paint and it makes you think “hey, I can do that!”…but you can’t. Nope, you never can. It has given me a healthy appreciation for having art on my walls however. Now, I’m desperate to find the perfect stunning piece […]
