Burlap Wrapped Cork Board

July 29, 2013 By Shannah Coe 18 Comments

I love having a place to pin pictures or notes up neat my computer. I don’t love the way most cork boards look though because they are usually pretty plain. I decided to fix that though and made a burlap wrapped cork board.

Make Your Own Wallpaper Coasters

July 23, 2013 By Shannah Coe 9 Comments

We have a ton of wood furniture in our house which means we need a lot of coasters. I’ve been looking at different ways to make my coasters fun though so I don’t just have a bunch of boring circles lying around the house. Last week, I shared my chalkboard coasters that I made from ceramic tiles. They chalkboard coasters are perfect for parties but I wanted something to use on other occasions too. I had gotten some wallpaper from Spoonflower and didn’t use it all so I decided to make wallpaper coasters.

H’s Room Update: Upcycled Paper Tray

July 22, 2013 By Shannah 17 Comments

Surgery put the brakes on changing H’s room to a bigger girl room but we are slowly moving forward. While I was resting comfortably with my pain meds and my knee propped up, painters came and changed her room from pink to a gorgeous citron green {selected by H herself}. Then, once I could move around a little bit, I took on a smaller project and upcycled a paper tray.

This post originally appeared over on my friend Carrie’s blog, My Favorite Finds, to celebrate her upcoming trip to Disney! I wanted to create a super simple countdown calendar. While this calendar is really geared towards counting down to a Disney trip, you can easily change it up to countdown to anything fun {retirement, a holiday, etc.}.

Gorgeous Jewelry – No Tools Required

June 28, 2013 By Shannah 4 Comments

I am thrilled to be working with Styled by Tori Jewelry and Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores on this post. While I have been compensated for this post, all thoughts, opinions and experiences shared here are my own.

This year, I decided I wanted to break out of my standard one necklace and wedding rings norm and start adding some fun jewelry to my daily outfits. So, I started buying jewelry from different places when I found pieces I liked. Well, that got expensive…FAST!
My next thought was to make my own jewelry but I had zero experience with that. The jewelry aisle in the craft store was so overwhelming and seemed to be really complicated. I pretty much ran out of there the first time I visited. Then, Styled by Tori Jewelery challenged me to create my own jewelry using their NEW line of gorgeous pieces. The best part: no tools required!

Flashback: Summer Wreath with Flip Flops

June 25, 2013 By Shannah Leave a Comment

This post originally appeared last year but I wanted to share it again as part of my flashback series.

This summer wreath is made out of the quintessential summer item: flip flops!

For me, that means flip flops are pretty much all you see on my feet. The only exception is if I am heading to a meeting and, then, I throw on a pair of heels for the duration. In my mind, flip flops = summer!
I wanted to change up some of the decorations on the house for summer and started with the front door. Can you guess where this going?

Yep, I flip flopped my front door.
