Well, it's November and I'm already breaking out the holiday decor,which you've already seen if you follow me on instagram.

DIY: Transform Your Baby Shower Cards into Nursery Art!
When I was thinking about DIY projects I wanted to make for our baby girl's nursery, I had an idea one day while driving to work and I'm excited to share with you the final result.

Master Bedroom Update: New Campaign Style Nightstands
Decorating has always been one of my biggest passions. I truly believe that coming home to a space you find beautiful and relaxing improves your day-to-day life. Having said that, our master bedroom has always been very blah to me (and still is). I don't love that it doesn't have a lot of windows and that overall is just feels really boring. ...
How to Make Your Own Christmas Ornaments (They Make Great Gifts Too!)
When I was a teen, I had this crazy idea one day that I was going to make over our Christmas tree. I was bored of the traditional looking trees and wanted something completely different. I decided to do a pink and gold theme and even spray painted old ornaments we had gold so I would only have to buy new pink ones. While I was doing this, I ...

She had bought several items from my blog sale and since she also lives in Houston we decided to meet at a local Starbucks. Ilham is the most awesome ...
