<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Andy and I broke ground on our Sugarberry Cottage over 3.5 years ago. Since then our Sugarberry has been featured in 3 magazines, including HGTV Magazine. We receive so many questions regarding our Sugarberry daily, so I decided it was time to put all of those questions in one place for anyone interested in this home to find. When we started building our home a few years ago, I couldn't find any sources of info or inspiration for this home besides a couple homes on the plan designers website. I only wish I had found a blog, Instagram, Pinterest posts with information on this plan. I hope this post proves to be helpful and inspirational to any dreamers out there just like we were. We absolutely adore this home and it has been everything we wanted it to be. Enjoy! </span></div>

the plan was actually designed by <a href="http://www.moserdesigngroup.com/newpdfs/sc32dl1.pdf" target="_blank">Moser Home Group</a> and I’ve been told it is
cheaper to purchase the plan directly from them.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the most asked question I get about our home. So I am finally sharing our budget breakdown. Not everything is included on this sheet, because we did spend roughly $15,000 cash on different things like light fixtures, kitchen island, appliances, tile work, door and cabinet hardware, etc. We guesstimate we spent about $220,000 total to build this home from ground work to finish including all contractor fees. That comes out to about $123 per sq ft. For our area in Louisiana this is a very average cost for a new built home. Do keep in mind that this price per sq ft does not include land, since we already owned our property.</span></div>

you put your HVAC system and your water heater?</b></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The original house plan has a pier and beam foundation, so
the HVAC and water heater are planned to go under the house. Because we chose
to do a slab foundation we had to find a new spot for these things to go. Our
HVAC for downstairs is in one of the “linen” closets in the downstairs hallway,
next to the powder room. The HVAC for upstairs is in the attic. All of the duct
work for downstairs is run through the ceiling between the two stories and the upstairs duct
work is run through the attic. We chose to go with a tank-less water system,
(which I personally LOVE). It is located on the exterior wall of the master
bath.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I plead with everyone I speak to who is interested in
building the Sugarberry to EXTEND THE LAUNDRY ROOM. It’s just too small. Our
laundry room has ended up being our main entrance, because we park around the
back of the house. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>So it has essentially
turned into a mudroom, as well. Also, both laundry room doors open into the
room, and they overlap each other if opened at the same time. It is almost
impossible to get our little family of four through the back door, all of our
shoes off, and then through the other interior door. If I were to do it again,
and this is definitely on our someday to-do list, I would extend the laundry
room and lose most of the back porch. We rarely use our back porch, anyways, so
it would be nice to have that area enclosed and part of that room. The second
thing I would change is in the master bathroom. I wish we had extended the
window out by a few feet and added a bathtub. The original plan only has a
walk-in shower. And I miss having a bathtub for me downstairs. Those are really
the only things I would most definitely change. If I had the budget, I would
consider extending the screened in porch, (If you do a ton of entertaining
outdoors and need a screened in porch, extend this out. It is not large enough
to entertain on.), adding square footage to the living room and kitchen, and an
extra closet downstairs for storage, BUT that’s an entirely different financial
budget and the square footage works just fine for us.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We sold our previous home before we started building our
Sugarberry. While we built we moved in with Andy’s sister, so we had to store
almost everything we owned. Instead of throwing away money on a storage unit,
we bought a 10x24 portable storage building and had it placed on our property. We
now use that building for storing all of Andy’s tools, lawn equipment, the kids
outdoor toys, Holiday decor, and any other random junk we don’t have room for
in the house. </span></div>

it worth the price over shingles?</b></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We went with a standing seam metal roof. The metal color we
chose is “Polar Ice”. A metal roof was important to me. I really thought the
metal look just completed the farmhouse look I wanted. We chose to go with
standing seam, because it not only looks more finished, but it is basically a
forever roof. We were comfortable paying more upfront knowing that we wouldn’t
have any unexpected costs to replace a shingled roof later on down the road.
Both shingles and corrugated metal would require replacement or upkeep.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I must tell you this though, we did have a leak soon after
we moved in. Because of the peak of this roof, it is essential that every
corner and edge is sealed. We had an issue where one of the corners of the
dormers wasn’t sealed, and we had a roof leak. Since having that corner sealed,
we haven’t had any further issues, but do be aware! We are still paranoid and
check the attic for leaks frequently after any major rains. Recently, I spoke
with a friend, who is building a beach cottage with similar roof elevation, and
he told me that his builder insisted that he first do a shingle roof to ensure
that everything was properly covered, sealed, and waterproof. And later on down
the road, when it is time for their shingles to be replaced, to then do the
metal roof right over shingles. I thought that was a pretty genius idea if the
metal roof isn’t currently in your budget or you are afraid of everything being
sealed properly and having water leaks. Despite our water leak, I still love
our metal roof and wouldn’t have done it any differently.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We do not currently have a garage. We had the slab poured
for one when we built the house, but we really wanted to build a garage with a
suite upstairs for our overnight guests. Unfortunately, that wasn’t really in
our budget at the time, so we just decided to hold off for what we wanted
rather than building something that we didn’t. We hope to eventually start this
project in the next few years. It will be located to the left of the back porch

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I adore open
shelving. I love being able to display all of our pretty kitchen dinnerware and
things. The plates, bowls, and cups I have displayed on our open shelving is
the dinnerware we use daily. Dust isn’t much of a factor on all of these things
since they get used and washed often.</span></span></span></div>

the fridge, 2 uppers above the fridge, and three small upper cabinets above the
range. Our uppers go all the way to the ceiling so that provides quite a bit of
extra storage. In the 3 cabinets to the left of the fridge we store all of our
ugly dinnerware, like the boys plastic plates and cups. The 2 cabinets above
the fridge have dividers on the lower shelf for us to store our baking pans, and on the higher shelves I can’t reach easily, I store all of our party serving ware
that I don’t use very often. I don’t use the cabinets above the range.</span></div>

functional space than regular cabinets. We have 6 deep drawers that are perfect
for storing all of our glassware, Tupperware, small kitchen appliances, and
pots and pans. The pull out drawer to the left of the range is a spice rack,
which is super handy, and the one on the right is a hidden trash can. </span></div>

come up with a different idea for it. We installed an outlet in the pantry
(more about it below) and have our microwave stored in it. We just make sure to
always keep the pantry door cracked if the microwave is on to allow for plenty
of ventilation. We also have a small convection oven in the pantry as well. </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This house plan does not have a designated pantry, but with
very little kitchen storage, a pantry is imperative! This plan does have two
small linen closets in the hallway downstairs. We designated the closet right
outside the kitchen for our pantry. We have shelves from floor to ceiling to
maximize the storage space. I’ve spoken with a few other Sugarberry owners who
have actually combined this closet with the closet under the stairs to create a
walk in pantry, if you need extra room there. We needed the two bedroom closets
more than a walk in pantry though, so this is what worked best for us. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Concrete floors are a popular flooring option where we live,
probably because they are so affordable. Flooring wasn’t a major concern for
us, so choosing concrete floors was a great way to save some money in our
budget to use somewhere else. I think the main
reservations people have to them are because they have young children and are
concerned about how hard they are. We have large area rugs to provide safe,
comfy places for our kids to play. And I feel like it’s pretty similar to

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The upstairs bedroom at the back of the house is the largest
of the two rooms. My boys share a room. They currently have a bunk bed, but when we first moved in they each had their own twin bed. Both twin beds fit perfectly in this room with still plenty of room for their dresser and all of their toys. The smaller upstairs bedroom at the front of the house is being used as my office. I've had my boys in this room as well when we used the larger bedroom for a playroom/homeschool room. When I ended up needing an office I condensed their playroom and bedroom into one room and moved them back to the larger room. The smaller bedroom fit their bunk bed perfectly. I could not, however, make two separate twin beds fit in their together. It would fit a full or queen bed fine though. To answer the question, I think you could easily and comfortably fit four children in the two bedrooms upstairs if they share rooms.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have Mohawk Carpet. It’s called San Sebastian and is in
the color, Oyster. We picked carpet knowing we wanted something comfy for the
kids to play on while they were little, but knew we would eventually install
hardwood. So the carpet we chose was cheap. The carpet is fine. It’s a nice
quality carpet for the price. I don’t love the color I chose though. I should have
picked a darker color carpet that hid stains a lot better. It shows stains bad, and I’ve tried several things to clean it to no avail. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Take your time. We've been in our home three years and there are still rooms I haven't finished decorating yet. My office is a perfect example of that. I'm currently using an ugly fold out table for a desk and it's very bare in here. But I don't have a clear vision for this room just yet, and I don't want to buy furniture and decor just to fill the room, when I'm not even sure what I want for it yet. So my thoughts are to take time getting a clear vision for what you want. Get on Pinterest and Instagram and find inspiration. And then take time searching for pieces that you absolutely love. Don't settle for something you don't love just to fill a void. And you don't have to do the whole house at one time. Take it one room at a time. Our home is still a work in progress and will continue to be.</span></div>

I am so excited to have teamed up with all these amazing ladies for this Farmhouse Christmas Blog Hop. This time of year is my absolute favorite and I always look forward to pulling out all of our Christmas decorations. If I could leave it all up year round, I most definitely would. Christmas time just brings up so many precious memories for me and I just want to relive the magic each and every single day of my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year our budget has been a little tight, so I didn't spend much extra on new decor. Instead I worked with what I had and I have to admit, I think it's the best look I have ever created for Christmas in our home. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. </div>

The front porch is pretty simple. I added two faux wreaths with red burlap bows to both windows. My favorite thing is the magnolia garland I added around our front door. I found the inspiration for it from Natalie <a href="http://www.hammmadefurniture.com/" target="_blank">@hammmadefurniture</a>. Last year she posted a similar garland she made and I just thought it was absolutely stunning. My sister just so happens to have a large magnolia tree in her front yard, so with her permission, I cut some clippings and strung each branch together with floral wire I already had on hand to create this garland. I'm sure it will be dead before Christmas day gets here, but I think it's beautiful while it last.</div>

I also placed a small tree in an old tin bucket and placed it by the front door and then added a few plaid pillows to the rocking chairs. I made the covers for the pillows last year from a table cloth I bought at Target. I bought two tablecloths last year and I was able to make 8 pillow covers out of them. You will see many of them placed around the house in this tour. Pillow covers are one of my favorite things to change out for each season. They will completely transform a room without using a large budget, especially if you can DIY your own covers. </div>

Stepping through the front door the first thing you will enter is our family room. This year our tree is a faux tree that I picked up for $5 at a garage sale back in the summer. It was already prelit with these multicolored lights. I had actually planned on trying to cut the multicolored lights off the tree so that I could rewrap it with white lights. I originally thought I wouldn't like multicolored lights, but I turned out to love them. So they stayed which was great because it required much less work on my part. The boys helped me decorate the tree with ornaments from mine and my husband's childhood. It's always fun for me to see the boys with ornaments that we got at the same age they are now. Each ornament brings up so many specific memories for me and it just shows how everything comes full circle when I see my boys decorate the tree with them and share with them all the stories. The boys' ornaments also adorn the tree. Each year our Elf on the Shelf brings the boys each an ornament so they will have the same tradition to carry on with their kids one day. </div>

We also got a little crafty over the Thanksgiving break and the boys helped me create a popcorn garland to go around the tree. It was a super easy project and is a great tradition to start with the family. My youngest, who is 3, was way more interested in eating the popcorn than actually stringing it on the thread, but it was still really fun for us all.</div>

Most of the stockings hanging from the mantle I already had from years past, but I did pick up the two polka dot stockings from Hobby Lobby last week. They were just too cute to pass up and they were on sale. I got them for just $5 a piece. The little white houses I picked up at Target in the Dollar Spot for just $3 each. </div>

The book page garland was a little DIY project I made one day last week. It was super simple, but I love the extra charm it added to the mantle. I actually created a tutorial for this garland years ago and you can find it <a href="https://duchessofyork.blogspot.com/2012/11/its-fall-yall-diy-book-page-garland.html" target="_blank">here</a> if you are curious about it. </div>

The kitchen received a little bit of attention as well. The JOY letters are paper mache cardboard letters from Hobby Lobby. I have had them for several years, but you can get them at any craft store for just a couple of dollars a letter and create whatever word or phrase you choose. I added a few little trees on the shelves and counter and a wreath above the range.</div>

For the dining table I took some extra magnolia tree clippings I had left over from the front door garland and placed them in the <a href="https://shop.magnoliamarket.com/products/galvanized-hanging-bucket" target="_blank">metal wall buckets</a>. I also placed a few on the table to fill in the extra space. I did wash/rinse all of the branches I brought inside to make sure I didn't also invite inside any creepy insects.</div>

I think the most questions I have received on my Instagram or Facebook are not about our house or the boys, but have been concerning our pet rabbit, Louie. So I finally decided to sit down and write a post about Louie and what life with her has been like. I hope this helps clear up any concerns and gives you all an insight into owning a bunny. I want to make clear that rabbits are not for everyone. Bunnies require just as much work, love, and attention as a dog or cat, and I think that is a common misconception about them. I am going to be brutally honest when I say, they are NOT cage creatures. They need lots of love and affection, as well as plenty of room to run and stretch especially if you want a happy, healthy, and SWEET bunny. If you can not provide all of that for them, then they are not the pet for you and I would suggest something more along the lines of a fish or hamster. Bunnies are the 3rd most abandoned pet, right after dogs and cats, simply because people don't understand the time it takes to care for one. I hate to sound like such a Debbie Downer, I just want everyone to be aware before they jump into getting a bunny just because they are cute.</div>

Most of y'all know we got our bunny, Louie, back in May. I definitely don't want to sound like an expert, because I am not. This is just simply our experience so far. Louie is a Mini Lop rabbit. We first got Louie when she was around 8 weeks old and we were originally told she was a male. Hence the reason her name is Louie. After a quick visit to the vet for a well check, we found out he was actually a she. Try teaching a 5 and 3 year old that their bunny of 3 months is in fact a Louise and not a Louie. Total confusion. It was just way too hard to change her name, so she has remained a Louie, though I don't think she minds much.</div>

I think we were all a little surprised by how much of a personality she would have. It took her a couple days to warm up to us after we first brought her home, but she's such a big part of our family now. She follows the boys around just like a puppy would. She's always being nosey and getting right up in your business. She loves being sprawled out on the cold concrete floor, playing outside in the grass, and getting into just about everything she shouldn't be in. She and our Pomeranian get along really well too.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you let your bunny just run around the house?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the most asked question and the answer is Yes. As long as we are at home Louie is out of her cage and able to roam wherever she pleases. I will admit when we first brought her home, she was able to free range even when we weren't home. However, the little lady got herself into some trouble, and is now only allowed out when we are home. If you aren't aware, bunnies do like to chew, and just like a puppy they will chew on everything! In the beginning, I did my very best to bunny proof our home. I keep the doors on our bedroom and the kids bedroom closed because we have many power cords, wicker baskets, shoes, and linens that she would love to chew on in those spaces. In the other rooms I made sure to pick up any wires and cords that were within her reach and anything else I thought she might chew on. Everything was just fine and dandy until one day we came home from an entire day away and realized she had chewed up a baseboard in the bathroom. Another day trip away and we came back to the corner of the carpet upstairs in the playroom pulled up and devoured. When left alone, I assume she gets bored and creative. NOT GOOD! Especially when you have a brand new house. So now she does have to be caged up when we have to leave or at night when we go to bed. But when we are home, she does really well, and we don't have much of a chewing problem.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does she poop and pee all over your floor?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No. Louie is litter box trained. It was actually really easy to litter train her and within a week of having her she was fully trained and accident free. The first week we brought her home I kept her strictly locked up in her cage with her food, water, and litter pan. I filled her litter pan with paper bedding on one side and on the other filled it with her hay. Bunnies typically poop while they are eating, so the hay encouraged her to jump in the pan and eat, and while eating, do her business. I checked her cage multiple times a day during that first week and if she had peed or pooped outside of her litter pan I would clean it up immediately with a paper towel and place the soiled paper towel back in her litter pan. The first four days she had multiple accidents in her cage and I was starting to get concerned that she may not figure it out, but on day five, something just clicked, and she hasn't had a single accident outside of her litter pan since. Her litter pan stays upstairs in her cage and she will return to her cage when she needs to use it. If you are having issues litter training your bunny I would also recommend having your bunny spayed or neutered. This will significantly cut down on their instinct to spray and mark their territory. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does she scratch you when you pick her up?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the most part, no. Bunnies do have sharp claws and it is important to keep them trimmed. I try to clip Louie's nails at least once a month with nail clippers specifically made for bunnies. It's easiest to do when Andy helps hold her, but she doesn't give me much trouble having this done either way. Louie loves to be held, especially when she is cradled like a baby and you scratch her tummy. But bunnies are also very flighty creatures, so Louie will get a bit nervous and spastic sometimes when holding her. This usually occurs when we are putting her down on the ground after holding her. I've found the best way to put her down is by holding her close to my body and then slowly bending down until the other side of her body is resting on the ground before releasing her. This way she feels secure on all sides and is less nervous when you let go. Now for the boys, they aren't much interested in holding her. They would much rather lay down on the ground and let Louie jump all over them. She likes to climb all over them and give them sweet Eskimo kisses, nose to nose. If they do decide they want to hold her, I will swaddle her up in an old baby blanket. That way she feels secure and her nails are safely tucked away, so we don't run any risk of them accidentally getting scratched. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What does her cage look like?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andy and I built Louie's cage. I searched the Internet for hours and hours looking for the perfect cage. I wanted something that resembled furniture and would blend in with the room, so that it didn't look just like a rabbit cage sitting in the middle of the room. I found a DIY cage on Pinterest that was made out of a media console from IKEA that I loved. You can find the link for it <a href="http://www.therabbithouse.com/indoor/cupboard-hutch.asp" target="_blank">HERE</a>. However, we don't live near an IKEA and by the time I had paid for shipping it was going to be nearly $250 and I still would have had to get more supplies to finish it out as a bunny hutch. So taking the same idea, Andy and I built one for about $75 instead. I didn't document the process because we were totally winging it, but the idea of it should be fairly easy to figure out and build. </div>

It has two levels. The bottom level is where her dry food, water bottle, litter pan, and hay loft are. Her little wooden house and blanket are on the upper level which she can access using the ramp.</div>

If we will be gone most of the day I will also put up this X-Pen, I bought off Amazon (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/MidWest-Exercise-Pen-30-Inch-Black/dp/B000H8YTJI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469635401&sr=8-1&keywords=x+pen" target="_blank">HERE</a>), for her so that she can have a little more room to run and play. I keep her area full of toys to keep her occupied. She loves cardboard tubes and boxes. They give her something to chew on and she loves using the bigger ones as tunnels or hideaway holes. </div>

Does she stink?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No, as long as I keep her cage cleaned out regularly you would never notice she was here. I clean out Louie's cage twice a week, usually on Wednesday and Sunday. I dump her litter pan outside in our compost pile and then spray it with vinegar and wipe it out with a paper towel. The vinegar helps get rid of any lingering odor. I then put new litter back in the pan and place back in her cage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using the vacuum I clean out the inside of cage sucking up any food or hair off the floor and then if I need to I will also spray it down with vinegar and wipe dry. Louie, herself, doesn't smell either. Bunnies are like cats, in which they clean themselves, and do not need baths. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've never been really big on wearing much jewelry. Don't get me wrong, I totally envy all the cute people wearing all the pretty shiny things. They seem so majestic, ya know, like a hippie goddess. I don't know though, it all just seems to get in my way throughout the day. It's like when I try to wear them, the necklace gets tangled in my hair, the bracelets clang loudly while I am reaching for a book at the library (okay, maybe I'm not in a library, but SERIOUSLY they are so loud), and the rings are always getting caught on my clothes or cabinet drawer handles, (Hello, didn't you hear about Jimmy Fallon). So I've just opted to be very minimal when it comes to accessorizing an outfit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I did want some kind of staple accessory that I could wear with my daily outfits that was simple, yet would pull together and finish off my look. And for me, a watch seemed like the perfect solution. I just feel like a watch is so sophisticated. You know, it makes me feel more like a grown up. I imagine myself being at the grocery story, with perfect well behaved kids, in my fit workout clothes, hair and makeup all done up, and someone look at my watch and think, Yep, that mom has got her shit together. Okay so that was totally a dream, because none of those will ever coincide in my world, but I'd like to think a watch makes me look a little more pulled together than the hot mess I actually am.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I was super excited when <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/shop/women#duchessofyork" target="_blank">JORD wood watches</a> reached out to me and wanted to collab on this post and host a giveaway. I just love their classic, yet modern look. They are so different than anything I have seen before. Yall know I am a sucker for natural wood, so I was smitten by their timepieces and all the beautiful colors and textures they come in. The quality is amazing! And BONUS for me, it's super lightweight that most days I even forget I am wearing it. </div>

<span style="text-align: start;">I adore the little wooden box that the watch comes in. I am a sucker for cute packaging. From the lovely packaging to the timepiece itself, you can see all the devotion and craftsmanship that is put into each individual piece. The watch I chose is from the Fieldcrest Series and is in the color Zebrawood and Maple. You can find the direct link for it </span><a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/fieldcrest/zebrawood-and-maple#duchessofyork" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank">here</a> or browse the entire collection from <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/shop/women/#duchessofyork" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

Spring is finally here.....although I don't know why I was so excited and anxious for it to get here because our winter here in the south was fairly mild this year and spring always brings me a nice dose of allergies each year. But despite that little negativity, I still just adore spring. It's one of my favorite times of the year. The warmer weather, the pretty pastels, and all the flowers blooming just gets me all kinds of excited.<br />
<br />
This year I was thrilled to join together with 24 other amazing bloggers to bring you the One Room Spring Tour sponsored by the lovely Kathleen <a href="http://www.lindsayhillinteriors.com/home-tours/my-entryway-and-mudroom-for-the-one-room-spring-tour" target="_blank">HERE</a> at Lindsay Hill Interiors. Each day this week this awesome team has been sharing with you one room of their home all dressed up for Spring. I hope y'all have all found some lovely inspiration this week during these tours.....I know I sure have.<br />
<br />
The spring room I and 4 other bloggers will be sharing with you today is our kitchen! <br />

<span style="text-align: start;">This spring it was all about adding more color to our home. Over the winter my home had become pretty natural and neutral, with lots of white on white, and wood accents. For spring I wanted to really brighten up the house with floral and color. To break up my white dishes, white shelves, and white subway tile, I added pops of pastel pinks and blues. I received these blue plates from my Great Grandmother and I loved adding them to the kitchen as a sweet reminder of her. I also found a bunch of these cute pink and blue mugs and bowls in the clearance section at Target about a month back. It just makes me so happy each time I walk in the kitchen and see these fun, sweet colors.</span></div>

An easy way to add spring into any home is with a fresh bouquet of flowers. I picked these beautiful tulips up the other day for just a couple of bucks at our local grocery store. They instantly add so much charm to the room.</div>

Spring also means the beginning of laying season for my girls. We have 8 hens and they have been loading our kitchen up with delicious farm fresh eggs in the last couple of weeks.</div>

And nothing says spring more than fresh little babies. Do you spy the babies taking a dip in the sink? We got these two little guys from a friend at Easter and the boys have loved taking care of them and watching them grow. They currently waddle around the yard behind Madden and Knox following them wherever they go. Madden thinks it's so funny that the ducklings "think he is their mommy." Soon they will be big enough to go the big pond with the rest of our ducks, but for now cute dips in the sink will do.</div>

Christmas is by far, my favorite time of the year! And with this being our first Christmas in our home it is just double the excitement. Last year for Christmas we were living with my sister-in-law and I barely got the tree up by Christmas Eve. I was just not feeling in the spirit last year, so I feel like this year I am making up for lost time. I got started super early this year, and I'm sure those of you who follow me on Instagram have been sick of seeing my Christmas tree for the entire month of November already. In my defense, I did have a perfectly good reason to decorate early, because our local magazine, <a href="http://www.bayoulifemag.com/" target="_blank">Bayou Life</a> asked to feature our home in their December issue. Such a dream and because of that, I had to have it decorated the first week of November for them to shoot. I'll share the link with you soon of our feature when it is available. </div>

Anyways, onto the tour. I tried to keep things really simple this year. Christmas decorations can get really corny, really quick.....I'm pretty guilty of it myself, and I don't hate it in the least bit. But this year I wanted to do things a little different, so I kept it basic and neutral. As the season progresses I will probaly start breaking out the jolly Santas and all the red accents, but for now....</div>

Our tree is one of my favorite things. I bought it from Hobby Lobby (<a href="http://www.hobbylobby.com/Seasonal/Christmas/Christmas-Trees/7-1-2%27-Slim-Yuletide-Pine-Tree/p/80152520-GI0338" target="_blank">here</a>) six years ago and it's still just as perfect as the first day we put it up. True story.....our first Christmas married Andy and I bought a real tree. I always had a real tree to decorate growing up and I was adament on getting one for our first Christmas. We went to the farm, cut down the tree ourselves, it was shaken, and shaped, and packaged up, and put in the house, and decorated, and it was just PERFECT! All of my dreams coming true. Until a couple days later when I was sitting on the couch and noticed a big black blob on the ceiling above the tree. Thinking maybe it was a cobweb I thought I would brush it off the ceiling with a broom. And as I was doing so......HORROR!!!!!!!! A MILLION.....I'm so serious yall! A MILLION TINY BABY SPIDERS started descending from our ceiling. I'm getting the chills just thinking about it. So after an extensive pest control expense, that perfect little tree went right outside the back door into the pond, and we went and bought this sweet thing. NEVER again will I have the desire to have a real tree. </div>

Years ago we had a cat and our tree skirt collected a ton of hair, so I had the idea to stick our tree in an old metal tub I had. Now the tree stand won't fit inside of the tub, and until we had kids, we just propped it up in the bucket, but to make it safer and less likely to be pulled over, we actually cemented the tree into the bucket. Totally not practical when storing for most people, but if you are looking for an alternative, I've seen what they call a tree collar at Michael's which looks like a metal tub with the bottom cut out so it will fit down over your tree stand. Like why didn't I think of that.....because I would have totally gone on SHARK TANK! (Anyone else obsess over that show)</div>

I also happened to find this faux tree at a garage sale for $5 and thought it would be perfect to put in the boys room this year so that they could decorate their very own tree. It's adorned in old family ornaments and lots of handmade goodies from when Andy and I were little. A few throwback Christmas photo ornaments of us back in the 80's and 90's that Madden found to be quite hilarious as well. He laughed the entire time he decorated. It was so fun for them to decorate a tree without having me hover over them and secretly rearranging ornaments when they weren't looking. </div>

I've been on the hunt for months now to find an old tobacco basket or grain basket. I have been wanting to reconfigure the wall that our dining room table sits on. Right now it just has that green framed chalkboard on it, and though I have really tried to embrace minimalism, I just can't. It just feels too plain....too much blank space, and I just really like stuff. Stuff and junk just make me happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my head I can imagine a large tobacco basket in the center of that wall with a Magnolia wreath hanging in the center and plate racks on each side displaying some pretty white plates. I hope you can imagine with me. Doesn't it just sound lovely!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, with all that being said......I have not been able to find a tobacco basket anywhere and this post has nothing to do with my dining room wall. Scatterbrained, I know. Anyways, I was on pinterest yesterday pinning tobacco baskets and farmhouse walls and pinned this image via <a href="http://www.thistlewoodfarms.com/mantel-decorating-ideas" target="_blank">ThistleWoodFarms</a>. </div>

It's the same idea I want to create with the tobacco basket, but this basket was just a regular basket and I happened to have a serving tray that I got from Target that was very similar (though smaller) sitting in front of me on my coffee table. So instantaneously, with no planning at all, I found a wall and put a nail through it. </div>

The tray I had was too small to hang on my dining room wall, so it would have to hang somewhere else. In our living room I actually already had this dried lavendar wreath hanging in this spot, but I have thought about taking it down several times, because I thought it got a little lost on the wall in the curtains. Adding the basket behind it, I think, just gives it that extra pop and adds so much more dimension. I am absolutely loving it and kind of mad at myself for not doing this idea sooner. </div>

The official start of fall starts in September, but I usually don't start decorating for fall until October. The main reason being because it stays so stupid hot here in Louisiana well into winter that it is hard for me to get motivated so early on. Something about seeing my mums and pumpkins just melt away in this heat makes it less fun.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do adore October, however. So once it arrives I usually start getting excited about fall and decorating. October is one of my favorite months and is always a super busy one for us. Along with celebrating Madden's birthday, and usually our anniversary early, and Halloween fun, we always seem to have a slam packed month. Because I love October so much, I tend to go all out with decorating. This year, however, I am trying to be pretty minimal because of all the chaos we already have going on this month and also because of a really exciting event that will be happening in November that I can't wait to share with you guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But anyways.....to start the tour..... I purchased all my live pumpkins from Walmart this year for like $3 a piece. I was super impressed to see that Walmart was even carrying the cute "Cinderella" pumpkins this year. Those pumpkins are my absolute favorite and I usually have to drive about 45 minutes out of town to a farm to find them every year. We will still load up the kids this year and take them to that little farm because they love the hayrides and being able to pick their own pumpkin from the patch, but for today I am super pleased with my Walmart pumpkins. I picked up the corn stalks from Lowes along with all my lovely mums.<br />

I put more emphasis on the decor on our back porch since it is the door that most of our guest enter through. Our home sits so far off the road that nobody driving by can see any decor on our front porch and our back porch is the closest entrance for someone when they pull into our driveway so I treat it as my front entrance.</div>

Like I said the fall touches inside are very minimal. And I actually kind of like it. I added some plaid pillows and a few craft pumpkins from Michaels here and there.</div>

So about those plaid pillows........I wanted to make some new pillow covers that would allow me to add a touch of fall without having to buy new throw pillows. After looking at the prices of fabric and determining how many yards I would need to make the pillow covers the price was ridiculous. But when I was in Target this past weekend, I came across this plaid <a href="http://www.target.com/p/threshold-plaid-tablecloth/-/A-21407865#prodSlot=medium_1_6&term=table+cloths" target="_blank">table cloth</a> from Threshold for $18.99 and was smitten. I decided it would make the perfect pillow covers. And guess what! I was able to make 5 pillow covers out of that one tablecloth and had enough scrap pieces to make a dish towel and 8 table napkins. WIN WIN! Now I kind of want to go back and buy another one to actually use as a table cloth, but how cute are my new pillows! <br />

I'm sure yall have already seen this beautiful wallpaper from <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-wallpaper/20545554.jsp#/" target="_blank">Anthropologie</a> before. I have been drooling over this pattern for years and lately I have been seeing it pop up more and more in lovely homes on Instagram, which only increased my desire to have it that much more. However, like most things from Anthropologie it did come with a hefty price tag and clearly out of my realistic budget. When I finally decided I could no longer live without it, I could only muster up enough courage to buy just one roll. So I knew I would have to choose one wall to use it on and it would need to be a fairly small wall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finally settled on using it in our tiny (and very bland) powder room. The blue in the pattern coordinated so well with our antique vanity and I thought it would add so much character to the small space. </div>

To be honest, I have been holding onto this wallpaper for a few months now. I have absolutely no experience with wallpaper. After scouring the internet I didn't find many tutorials for hanging it online and the instructions that came with the packaging were very vague. It was intimidating, to say the least. I actually ended up begging my mother to come help me hang it, because I knew she had some experience with it before. And my mama is AMAZING yall! She came over and by herself had it put up within 30 mins. Apparently she is like a professional wallpaper installer....my mama and all her secret Wonder Woman talents. </div>

After she finished hanging it up in the powder room I still had quite a bit left on the roll so we went ahead and put it in my laundry room too. It completely transformed both of these spaces. Doing the laundry doesn't feel like such a chore anymore, because the room is just so darn cheery! </div>

<br />
In honor of our first camping trip of the summer coming up this weekend I thought I would share a little tour of our camper with yall. Last year my husband and I decided we needed a hobby to do as a family. Growing up as a child my weekends were always spent camping with my family. Those weekends will always be some of my fondest memories and that is something I want my children to experience as well. Also an interesting little fact about my husband and I is that for the first two years of dating we lived in a teeny tiny 18 foot camper while my husband was getting his doctorate degree in PT. You learn a whole lot about a person being stuck in that small of a space with no doors and no separate rooms. There was never anywhere to run and hide when things got tough. We had to confront any issues and problems we had with each other right in the moment, because we couldn't lock ourselves away in our own space to cool off. Let me just say though that those two years were so FUN! We were so connected with each other. At the time we were poor, we didn't even have TV, so when we weren't studying we were doing simple things like taking walks or playing board games and cards. We were just together, without distraction, and we were totally content and happy with just having each other as company. And that's what we want for our family. Something we can do together. Something that makes us take the time to disconnect from the rest of the world and just enjoy each other....because really! that's all that matters.<br />
<br />
But back to our camper. When we started looking for campers, I of course dreamed of something vintage that I could renovate and make our own. My husband, on the other hand, wanted something new/reliable and that he didn't have to do any work to. During our search he came across this <a href="http://www.corinthrv.com/default.asp?page=xInventoryDetail&id=838965&p=1&vc=travel%20trailer&s=Year&d=D&fr=xAllInventory" target="_blank">White Water Retro Camper</a> and I was totally smitten....with the outside that is....for something so cute and authentic looking on the outside.....the interior just did not match.<br />

We compromised that if my husband could have the new camper he wanted, then I could do whatever I wanted to the inside. So the next weekend my husband drove a few hours away to the nearest dealership and picked her up. As soon as she made it home I gave her a new paint job and all new linens. It's amazing what a few small changes can do. I still have things I would like to update like the floor, the countertops, and add a backsplash, but for now I am completely happy with the way she turned out. And I can't wait for all the fun memories we will make in her together as a family.<br />
<br />
So without further do.....Meet POLLYANNA.<br />

When you enter the camper the bed on the right is where the boys sleep. When that bed is not turned down it is also the dining table and seating. We choose to leave it folded down as a bed because we have a fold out picnic table we use outside of the camper for our dining. The door with (my favorite) hippie sign hanging on it is the water closet with the potty and shower. </div>

I used chalkboard paint on the front of the fridge so that the boys could have a fun canvas to use aside from their coloring books we take on our camping trips. And yall know how much I love chalkboards anyways!</div>

The other end of the camper is where we sleep. The cabinets built in around the bed offers nice storage for our clothes and the bed actually raises up so that we can store all of our other camping gear, such as our small grill, chairs, table, etc.</div>

Almost a year ago my husband and I got a wild hair one day to just stick a for sale sign in front of our previous home. Within four days of placing that sign in the yard we had sold our home. It was at that time panic set in wondering what in the world we were going to do. We had family land and we knew we wanted to build and raise our family there, but we had no idea what we wanted. As I said, this was family land..... so this would be our forever home. That night after signing the contract to sell our home my husband was going over scenarios....he was popping off ideas like building a garage with a mother in law suite and us living in that for a few years so that we could build our dream home later on and yada yada yada....in the meantime I was scrolling through websites that I had searched on google. I finally clicked on the <a href="http://houseplans.southernliving.com/" target="_blank">Southern Living</a> House Plans home page....typed in all criteria for what I was looking for and BOOM! <a href="http://houseplans.southernliving.com/plans/SL1648" target="_blank">The Sugarberry Cottage</a> was the first thing to pop up on the screen. I saw it, I fell in love immediately, stopped my husband mid sentence and said, "This is it! This is our forever home!", before even looking at the floor plan. At first he thought I was joking. This house at 1679 heated sqft. was not any bigger than our home we had just sold and we were moving because we thought we needed more room. But it made sense. The home was beautiful, the floor plan was perfect, there is not a foot of wasted space in the whole plan. And because it was not a huge house we could actually afford to start building our dream home, our forever home right away. My husband fell in love too....and from that moment on our dream began.</div>

We started construction the first week in October and after a very rainy and cold winter we wrapped up construction in mid-April. We have finally settled in enough that I thought I would share our home tour. It is still a work in progress....I have lots of projects and honey-do's for my husband to finish, particularly in our bathrooms (so they will look a little bare) but that's what a home is. It's a constant work in progress. I will constantly be rearranging and redecorating because that's just who I am.<br />

The light over the dining room table I found at Canton Trade Days. I believe it's made from an old duct vent probably found in an old warehouse. My husband built me the table and bench and the chairs I collected from random garage sales. The blue chairs are painted with ASCP "Duck Egg Blue" and the white were done in ASCP " Original".</div>

The kitchen, by far, is my favorite room in the house. And go figure....I don't even like to cook. It sure is pretty to look at though. The butcher block island is over 100 years old and came out of an old governor's mansion in Mississippi. </div>

We lucked into the stove. It's a Magic Chef brand, probably from the 1940's. My husband's boss had actually just bought a rent house when we started building our home. He was in the process of renovating the kitchen and was just going to throw that vintage beauty out so we pounced on that sucker. It took some elbow grease to clean up the outside, but the oven and broiler seriously looked like they had never been used. It could use a little tune up and some new knobs, but I am totally smitten by her. </div>

We had a few communication errors with our contractor.....one being our shower which was suppose to have white subway tile with black grout to match the tile work done in the kitchen...but we ended up with white grout. I wish it had been done right, but I still think it's pretty. All of our cabinets were custom made. That's a question I receive a lot. But they are just a traditional shaker if you were curious as to what style they are. The mirrors I picked up from Hobby Lobby and I just adore them.</div>

Since our home is 3 bedrooms, the boys are currently sharing a bedroom so they have the spare room for all of their toys. The triangle decals on the wall are from <a href="http://www.uwdecals.com/" target="_blank">Urban Walls</a>. I will be doing a review on them soon in a separate post so stay tuned for that. </div>

I made myself a new years resolution to get this blog started again. (Please don't view my previous post...it's sad how long I have been away. I mean that 29 week old baby in my belly is now a 1 year old) Since it is now April I figured it is probably a good time to make good on my resolution. And since I rarely just jump head first into anything, I will just test the waters with my toes and start out with this sweet little bunny garland I made for Easter.<br />
<br />
Decorating for holidays is one of my favorite things to do! If I could get away with leaving my Christmas tree and lights up all year you can bet I would do it. It's just so fun and festive and takes me back to my childhood. And I really hope my kids feel the same excitement and joy.<br />
<br />
However with all that being said, I have been totally preoccupied with crafting for Knox's birthday party that I haven't done any decorating or fun crafts with the kids since Christmas. With Knox's party finally out of the way and me just sitting here this week with not a thing to do, it brought about this simple little bunny garland. I didn't want to go all out with Easter decor since I only have a week left to use it but I think this garland added just enough festiveness to the house.<br />

Supplies:<br />
-cardstock<br />
-pen<br />
-scissors<br />
-pompoms or cottonballs<br />
-glue<br />
-tape<br />
-twine, string. yarn<br />

For the first step I printed off a bunny template I found on google. I just typed bunny silhouette in the search bar and found one I liked. I printed the bunny off on a piece of white paper and then cut it out to use as a stencil. You could also just print the image straight onto the cardstock or draw your own stencil. Next I traced the bunny stencil onto the cardstock and then cut out each bunny. Once all the bunnies were cut out I let Madden glue on their little bunny tails using white pompoms from the craft store. I then cut a piece of twine to the length I wanted, evenly spaced out the bunnies, and taped them to the string. Easy peasy! </div>

<br />
Last week I went down to the new River Market we have in town and this one booth had this awesome vintage garland made out of old book pages and ribbon. I just had to have it for my faux mantle, but with a price tag of $40 I quickly decided I could make one myself for a lot less. And guess what! it didn't cost me a dime to make this beauty because I already had all the supplies I needed. All you need is about an hour of your time and a few supplies. <br />
<br />
Supplies:<br />
A book or books you don't mind disassembling. <br />
Twine or Ribbon<br />
A crochet needle (optional)<br />
Scissors<br />
<br />
How To:<br />
<br />
I have quite a few old books just laying around my house that I've picked up at various flea markets and antique stores over the years. I liked using an old book because the pages were aged and discolored and gave it more of a vintage feel. You could also pick up a new book at a dollar store if you don't have an old book just lying around. The book I used had about 500 pages and made a garland about 6 feet long. The amount of pages you need will depend on how long and full you want your garland to be. <br />
<br />
Step one: With your book in hand rip each page from the binding of the book. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZtNq63f_sFeKKWW-sCv8eNtuYUVbbG77J4XfIGZu02nvydWo48Rido9-sUTATbqDdhJUaQSNMRdisD7a7SssHWOzJQUwmY3Q78RV308QBk4PsoZCQFw7LMVfX_RTtHXIZkB9UeEl6Y0C_/s1600/garland1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZtNq63f_sFeKKWW-sCv8eNtuYUVbbG77J4XfIGZu02nvydWo48Rido9-sUTATbqDdhJUaQSNMRdisD7a7SssHWOzJQUwmY3Q78RV308QBk4PsoZCQFw7LMVfX_RTtHXIZkB9UeEl6Y0C_/s320/garland1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Step two: Crumble each page individually. I say individually because I thought I would save time by wrinkling multiple pages together at the same time. However, it turns out, it takes much longer to separate each page after they have been wrinkled. (Also, be careful with this step. The first book I chose to use was so old that pages were to brittle to crumble and just ripped in half. I had to start over with another book. I would suggest testing one page from your book first to make sure it's not to brittle if you are using an older book)<br />

Step three: With a crochet needle tied to twine or ribbon (I used twine) poke a hole through the middle of each page and string onto the twine. If you don't have a crochet needle you could also just cut a small slit into the center of each page and then hand string each page. <br />
<br />
Step four: Fluff and done!<br />

I am just super in love with it! <br />
<br />
For the Happy Fall banner I just printed off each letter from my computer onto some cardstock and hand drew an acorn shape around the individual letter. I then cut each one out and strung together on some twine. Easy peasy festive fall decor! <br />

It's weird, I know. It's okay you can frown, roll your eyes.....my husband does too anytime I mention buying a new moose or rhino head. He always says...."You know it's suppose to be the other way around, I should be begging you to allow me to put animal heads on our living room wall. You just aren't right." God, you got to love him. Anyways....So I am always looking for a new trophy to add to my wall. And when I saw these DIY Party Animal Magnets on <a href="http://sugarandcloth.com/" target="_blank">Sugar & Cloth</a> I nearly died inside (From the overwhelming amount of excitement I was experiencing, of course. My heart just couldn't hold in all the love I had for these.)! You can find her DIY tutorial<a href="http://sugarandcloth.com/2012/06/diy-party-animal-magnets/"> here</a>. <br />
<br />
Here are my lovely new fridge trophies!!!<br />

managed to climb on top of my bar height table and with his baby Hulk muscles
open a bottle of finger nail polish (that I couldn’t even open) and pour it all
over the table, place settings, and himself in a matter of 60 seconds. If you
haven’t tried this at home, DON’T! The result…..</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS2qrIugK5EljdxX3yEHLwrzCHQrV4en9HnQKn3DE_BglecHgoolt56OwmjEZ4ndlm5-mEuwKXjawPINPammBRyRNTQYo_52rYbbC03Sv40OPd6aTS3YVIY40_gaMVdpObg5S4oPtz3P4n/s1600/IMG_6513.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS2qrIugK5EljdxX3yEHLwrzCHQrV4en9HnQKn3DE_BglecHgoolt56OwmjEZ4ndlm5-mEuwKXjawPINPammBRyRNTQYo_52rYbbC03Sv40OPd6aTS3YVIY40_gaMVdpObg5S4oPtz3P4n/s320/IMG_6513.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yes, apparently finger nail polish will completely eat
through lacquer and stain and leave a sticky, and in my case, pink mess! I will
admit I sobbed uncontrollably for a solid 10 minutes while I tried to remove
the nail polish from both my son and our table until I was able to get a grip
of myself and the situation and realize that this was the perfect opportunity
to take</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>boring blah table and
turn it into some kind of shabby chic awesomeness! So here it goes…..for all of
you who have asked about it…..<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Step one. I began by sanding down the table. I sanded
lightly over the entire table with a hand held sander to rough it up just a bit
for the paint to stick. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghdoOYpciIxwQiMwZY2RsGOaqx5_x63GVwKt3jMQdcSLCyaXwTRICcN6LAdjuAc0ZALHFEg_TeWnuzyFCtoJk6rXjL_jm-qioASLmWJ1X6J5QohUxYqQocvXkd_w4orlStiw5VznZ3MUDY/s1600/IMG_6457.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghdoOYpciIxwQiMwZY2RsGOaqx5_x63GVwKt3jMQdcSLCyaXwTRICcN6LAdjuAc0ZALHFEg_TeWnuzyFCtoJk6rXjL_jm-qioASLmWJ1X6J5QohUxYqQocvXkd_w4orlStiw5VznZ3MUDY/s320/IMG_6457.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(This is it sanded.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Step two. I had some extra white paint just lying around the
house, so I decided to white wash it. I made up a mixture of half paint and
half water. To white wash, I dipped my paint brush in the paint/water mixture,
and then with a clean rag wiped most of the mixture off. I then applied it to
the table in small back and forth strokes going with the wood grain. After
painting the entire table, I let it dry, and then repeated with about 5 more
coats of white wash. You can apply as many coats of white wash as you want until
you get your desired appearance. </span></div>

(After it's 5th coat of white wash)</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Step three. After the paint had dried, I took my hand sander
and lightly sanded the table top and the legs paying special attention to the
corners and edges to give it that shabby chic distressed look.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Step four. I then wiped down the table with a dry cloth to
remove all the dust from sanding and then sealed it with a clear gloss wood
finish. I got this at Lowes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One day I plan on getting around to painting the chairs. Maybe
I’ll give Mad-Man another bottle of finger nail polish to pour on them so I’ll
start on that project sooner than later. Haha. No. But really, I am thinking a
nice light blue or even pink or even mismatched blue and pink! What do you
think? </span><br />

I told myself when I started this blog that my goal was to write atleast one post a week. Two weeks in and I am already one post behind. Go figure.... <br />
<br />
I have had so many people ask me about my dining room table that I upcycled after my 19 month old ruined it with finger nail polish, so I am currently working on getting a tutorial written for all of you folks who have asked. I will have it up on the blog by the end of the week. Until then I thought I would leave you with this juicy studded makeover I gave my fancy white Chuck Taylor's. Hope you enjoy!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I finally decided to start a blog to give those of you
with nothing better to do a little insight to my boring but crafty life. To be
honest, I really just need an outlet where I can pretend someone is listening
to me, because let’s face it, my 19 month old I stay-at-home with doesn’t care
that I improved the value of our home by upgrading the kitchen cabinets with a little bit of glaze or that
I up cycled his old denim jacket into a rad new denim vest! I mean really, it’s
awesome. One day you'll see it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Anyways, for anyone who knows me knows that I can’t go very long
without taking on some kind of new crafty project. Pinterst has only fueled
this flame and every day is something new. I’ve gotten a lot of questions
regarding some of the projects I have posted on Facebook that I have done, so I
thought by starting this blog it would give people who were interested a place
to read my tutorials. I will warn, I am a bit scatterbrained, so this blog will
be sort of a random diary for me, from everything to style and DIY projects, to
my life events. I hope you all enjoy though!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">With all that being said I would like to introduce my first
post project. DIY AMERICAN FLAG SHORTS!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve been feeling very patriotic lately. Maybe it’s because
it’s finally summer around here and I am stuck in between the Memorial Day and
July 4<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> holidays. I first saw these lovely shorts on Pinterest and
then found an amazing DIY tutorial for them via ASCOTFRIDAY you can find <a href="http://ascotfriday.typepad.com/ascot_friday/2011/07/diy-american-flag-shorts.html" target="_blank">here.</a>
(BTW, she is amazing and has a fabulous style blog if you would like to follow
her.) <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My shorts basically followed the same idea; however, I
started out with an old pair of jeans. I always seem to get a project in my
head at like 10 o’clock at night but, I don’t ever have the right supplies for
the job. And again, if you know me, when I have an idea, I run with it. There
is no waiting until tomorrow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has to
be done today. Well, that happened a few times with this project. First, I
didn’t have a pair of shorts that I really wanted to sacrifice for the project….
so, I found an old pair of jeans I haven’t wore in forever and just cut the
legs off. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My jeans were also a bit of a darker wash, so I decided to
bleach them first to make them look more faded and worn. All I did was mix 2cups
of bleach with 4cups of water in a bucket and soaked the shorts for 10 minutes and
then washed them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can soak your
shorts for less or more time depending on the color you want, or if you like
the denim wash they are, just skip this step.</span><br />

They don't even look the same, do they!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After I washed and
dried my shorts I got them ready to paint. In the tutorial by ascotfriday she used
star stickers, and go figure, I didn’t have any, so I just printed out a star
stencil and traced them onto my shorts. (With that being said, I had to paint
around my traced out stars. This was a bit tedious and time consuming. I would
recommend getting some star stickers if you don’t have much patience and like
perfection. I thought doing it this way added some rough but lovely character
to them though!) For the stripes I used painters tape and just taped off one
side.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now for the paint…. I
used Anita’s Textile Medium and Anita’s Royal Blue and True Red paint. They can
be found at any craft store. I followed the medium directions and mixed 1 part
medium to 2 parts paint and then I just got busy painting. Be sure to put cardboard or a few sheets of paper inside your shorts so that the paint doesn't bleed through to the back side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I let my shorts dry about 2 hours before washing them. They
weren’t completely dry after 2 hours but, I wanted some of the paint to wash
out so they looked faded. If you want the colors to be vibrant, I suggest you
let the paint dry completely. </span><br />
