I know it has been FOREVAH since I’ve updated my baby (aka this blog). My priorities have changed, obviously, now that I got two young kids on my hands. I could always take this blog down until I get my time back but for some reason, this blog comforts me just by knowing that I have a blog that I can turn to whenever I feel the need to blog again. So here I am…

About this pretty little bulletin board thingy (aka inspiration board), my husband and I just started brainstorming several projects that we want to accomplish within next 2-3 years. So far, all of our ideas/progress/notes/etc are stored in our google drive but since I am a visual person, I wanted (needed) an inspiration board where I can visualize our ideas.

I decided to turn our old bulletin board (which was inherited by my husband) that we never use into our inspiration board. To give it a fresh and exciting look, I spray-painted it white. That’s all.

Hows that for creativity!!?? Wow! I continue to amaze myself. Truly… Now all I have to do is to start putting our ideas on there…

I saw this blog post the other day and now I’m obsessed with numbers. In fact, I’ve always been fond of letters and numbers on home decor stuff but I don’t know why I’ve not been surrounding myself with these things yet. Well, its never to late to start, right?

Below is what I saw:

Below is what I did:

I bought my alphabet stencil cards that came with numbers and some punctuations from a local art store. I used my black sharpie marker and well, marked the numbers with it.

Next project: Get my 2 1/2 year old boy to learn how to count. Wish me luck.

I had a nice frame with cracked glass for *ahem* years and I never got around into replacing the glass or do something with it until today. I decided to turn it into chalkboard instead. Am loving the result. Let’s hope Damon does too.

Happy Mother’s day! ox

My 2-year old son kept on finding my glasses all over my place and he’d play with them. I didn’t want them to break so I had to look for quick diy way to store them.

Found this idea from pinterest and now my glasses are happy and so am I… for now.

How have you been?

I stumbled across this picture above via pinterest and couldn’t resist making one of my own. I didn’t use the book pages to create a paper flower (because I’m too lazy) and instead bought several fake flowers from AC Moore. For more detailed instruction, you can find it here.

I had several white wire hangers that I wanted to get rid of so I was happy to be able to repurpose them into a hook. I also cut out a round-shaped cardboard to hold the wire and the flower together by using my pink hot glue gun.  Simple and oh so sweet.

To polish up the hook, I used a white-out to cover the chips that was made from tweaking its shape.

Tada!  I hope you like it. :)

Got new glasses from Zenni Optical. What do you think?

Excuse me while I go and steal my husband’s shirt. Talk to you later. ox

I inherited most of my furnitures from my uncle Ron and several quilts from my late grandma, Willema. The other day, I felt overwhelmed with too much brown colors in my living room and since I’m a shabby chic fan, I am dying for more bright colors in my life. So I decided to start with my armchair by covering it with my grandma’s quilt and put together a throw pillow cover with a fabric that I got from Goodwill. To finish, I sew a spiral ribbon on it after being inspired by this photo. Does it look more inviting now? Yes, it just might be my new favorite reading spot. It just might!

I don’t know about you but I couldn’t take my eyes off this photo.  It makes me want to close my eyes with her.

I bought this Pacer jacket from Goodwill (Yes, I shop there often) and when I washed it, my sleeves shrunk.  We all know that is no good.

Decided to turn it into vest instead and I like it so much better.

What a big difference, eh?
