Tablescapes: Spring 2020

    Upon receiving our new formal dining room furniture I could NOT wait to decorate! I had bought a few pieces from Pier 1 during their massive closing clearance, but I also have pieces from Michael's, Amazon, and various other online retailers. Feel free to reach out about specific pieces and I'd be happy to share where I purchased it. 

    Here's the final product: 



    I remember how beautiful I thought this table was, but looking at it now it seems so simple compared to what is to come. Check out some of my more recent tablescapes and my HUGE dining room transformation.

DIY Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle

   Several years ago I walked into a secondhand store and fell in love with a GIANT old Victorian dollhouse. I had told myself I would revamp it for a little girl, or turn it into something fun for a little boy. When we found out about our son I decided to transform it into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his Harry Potter themed nursery.      The dollhouse had been stored in a dear friend's garage for several years, until we had a place to put it. (Thank you Myrna!) My uncle drove it down to our house and it BARELY fit through the doorway. I opted to leave it in our tiled entry for the transformation process. I only had a couple months until the baby came, so I started working on it right away.  Before - the outside fron t   Before - the outside back (those doors have to go!)   I believe that when this dollhouse was constructed it had been specially made to house... cats. It had extra large openings and large carpeted platforms. Bef...

DIY World of Warcraft (For the Horde!) Themed First Birthday Party

Our son turned one this month and we threw him an epic birthday party! Since my husband and I met on World of Warcraft we decided it would be WoW based, and "Four the Horde!" themed (our son's nickname is Four as he is the 4th of his name).      I started by searching for the perfect invitation. I was surprised to find there really was not much by way of WoW themed birthdays on the internet. I was able to find a printable pack from Etsy  here . I used this for the invitation and a start to some decorations.      I enlisted the help of a good friend of mine who is much more well-versed than I am in Photoshop, and he made custom food tents, loosely using the purchased printable, for the foods we would actually be serving. He and I brainstormed food puns and alliterations to make them more special.           Next, I enlisted my husband to 3D print some custom decorations from the game. He printed them and I painted them....

DIY Housewarming Castle Gift

    I have always thought it would be so fun to give a housewarming gift in the shape of a castle. Well in the spirit of "don't let you dreams be dreams," I made it happen!      A friend of ours had just bought his first home and was having a party to celebrate. This particular friend we know because he plays Dungeons & Dragons with us, so it only seemed fitting that he should get a housewarming gift in the shape of a castle!       Here is the finished product:      I had a general idea of how to construct the "castle" using a storage bin or two, toilet paper, and paper towel rolls. I went to the store and purchased those items along with other handy household items that he could actually use, which included: cleaning products, microfiber cloths, glade scent items, kitchen spoons, whisk, spatulas, lit roller, toilet brush, sink brush, duster, wood markers, tissues, drawer liners, and hand sanitizer. These I could just use a...
