Frame Collage Project

Hiya!!!!

Sooo since we moved into our home we've been staring at a bare wall in our family room for quite some time. I kept telling myself over and over that I'd get to it; well I FINALLY did. And thank goodness for that! I absolutely LOVE the way it came out. 

So these are the steps that I took to ATTEMPT to make it as leveled as possible LOL. First I created a border around the area which I wanted to lay the frames. I traced the frames onto brown builder's paper (which you can get plenty from Home Depot). I did this so I can rearrange where I wanted to lay out the frames; before I started punching holes in the wall LOL. 

Once the builder's paper was up, I placed the frames where I wanted them and was able to rearrange when I needed to. Because I am a Virgo and need to be so meticulous about everything, you can say I rearranged the builders paper more times then I needed! 

Check out the pics below!! I hope this helps!!

100 Day of School Project

Hi All, 

So my son had a '100 Day of School' T-Shirt Project due last week. I searched the web high and low, and let me tell you, there are some of the most creative projects out there!! He came up with his own idea of putting stickers on a T-Shirt. The project entailed placing items on a shirt in increments of 2, 5, or 10; I figured 10 would be the easiest to accomplish. 

As all parent's become accustomed to, when you have more than one child, what you do for one you HAVE to do for the other. So of course I go the little one a Tee and some stickers as well. 

In case anyone is looking for a '100 Day Project ' idea, here ya go! Tell me what you think! 

Peace & love,  Kali

DIY Headboard Project

Hiiiiii. I know it's been a crazy while since I've shared anything! But it's a New Year and I figure I get back into the swing of things!! 

So i wanted to share my latest project with you guys. Apparently, down here in the Sunshine State there is wood just randomly being given away!! I couldn't believe it, just loads and loads of wood pallets at your disposal!! If you have a truck or the means to to travel with it, then viola it's yours! 

I had the idea that I wanted to make a headboard, why not right? Random wood pallets just lying around, why not put it to good use. Besides taking the wood apart, I created a frame and stained it with 'Wood Finish' in color 'Golden Oak'. Now I wish it could've been a taaaad lighter but after hours of work, I was NOT about to restain it. LOL  Then I went to Target and Home Goods and purchased the bed accessories. Needless to say I absolutely love the outcome :) What do you think?? 

Peace & Love,

Unisex Diaper Bouquet

Hi All!!

So my sister-in-law is expecting!! Yayyy, can’t wait to hold the baby. So she decided that she wanted a gender reveal party.  Her concept is slightly different from most gender reveal parties; the gender is only hidden from her and her husband. Within the invitation my niece has specified the sex of the baby so that they don’t receive a lot of green and yellow clothing!! LOL Which I thought was VERY smart.

I decided I wanted to do something special for her, and told her I was going to make a Diaper Bouquet; to differ from the common ‘Diaper Cake’.  I took photos and listed step-by-step instructions incase anyone reading this wanted to recreate it for someone they know.

 

What you’ll need:

Diapers (obviously)

Tulle (any color you want)

A Vase

Decorative Gems (any color)

Sticks

Tape

Instructions:

Place the decorative gems in the vase

Wrap the diapers around the sticks

Tie rubber bands around the rolled diapers

Wrap tulle around the diapers and tape closed

Stick the diapers in the vase

Arrange the flowers appropriately

Use loose tulle and place between the sticks

Let me know if you get to try this at home!!

BEKVAM Spice Rack Hack

So I was browsing the Internet for home  organizational ideas and hacks; and I came across the different uses for the IKEA BEKVÄM Spice rack. These are small little shelves which were initially to be used in the kitchen, but I needed additional space in the bathroom sooooo I decided to use it for that instead. What I absolutely looooovee about these racks is they're not bulky and take up as little space as possible. I placed two shelves behind my bathroom door on un-utilized wall space and it works amazingly well! One I put right side up and the other upside down. One of the reasons I did this was to hang a hand towel for easy access. The best part, and of course my favorite part, is they only cost $3.99 each!

Peace & Love,
