HOW TO TIE A BOW THREE WAYS WITH VIDEO TUTORIALS

Hello friends, I hope your Christmas week is off to a great start!  Do you still have a million odds and ends left to do like I do?  Tonight is set aside for Christmas movies and wrapping presents, I'm happy to have a husband who wraps and I tie all of the bows!  Speaking of bows, I've had several friends from Instagram ask how I tie my bows, so rather than sharing there I thought I'd create some videos to stay permanently here on the blog showing you how I tie my bows.  I've made three separate videos showing you three ways to tie a bow for various uses.  ...

Hello friends, welcome to the final segment of this year's Christmas Home Tour!  I feel like my tour is completely backwards this year... I saved the Living Room for last!  Straying away from the norm... appropriate for 2020, no?  It really just took me a little longer to piddle and fluff in here and I enjoyed taking my time.  ...

DIMPLES AND TANGLES FAVORITES: 2020 CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE AND STOCKING STUFFER IDEAS

I intended to get a Christmas Gift Guide together weeks ago, but it just never happened.  I seriously debated even sharing one with you now at this late date, but I thought maybe a few of you are like me and still have 90% of your shopping left to do!  Yikes!  I have a serious sit down date with some lists and my computer this afternoon! If you happen to be in the same boat as me, here are some gift ideas.  The vast majority of these suggestions are things we already own and highly recommend, and if they're not already one of our favorites they are things that are on my family's wish list this Christmas.  So here are my suggestions for her, for him, for teen boys, for teen girls, and for anyone else.  I'm also including some stocking stuffer ideas at the end, I hope you find some things that fill a gap on your list!  ...

First up is this sweater .  With almost 2K 4-star reviews, it is soft and true to size, but I wanted it a bit oversized so I sized up one.  I can't decide if I like it better with a front tuck or worn loose!  And there's the Amazon hat I shared last week again... ...

Isn't Fall just the best???  When you can pull out your sweaters and the air turns crisp and the mornings and evenings are cool with warm days... my favorite!  I think Fall might be my favorite season to decorate for as well, it's not as elaborate or time intensive as Christmas and when I'm finished everything just feels like a big cozy hug!  Does that even make sense?!?  Ha!  I'm excited to kick off this year's It's A Colorful Life Fall Tour by sharing my front porch with you, and I'm even throwing in a little mini pumpkin wreath tutorial for the wreath that's on my front door this year.  So let's take a look!...

DIY FACE MASK NECK CHAIN

Let me start off by saying how much I hate that there's even a need for this project!  I never dreamed I'd be making a "DIY Face Mask Neck Chain" tutorial.  I know we're all so weary of dealing with this virus and I hope that you all and your families are staying healthy! I can't tell you how many times I've had my mask in my lap in the car, forgotten about it, and dropped it on the ground when I got out at my destination.  Or arrived at the door of a store only to realize that I left my mask in the car.  Or, left it looped on one ear while driving from place to place and having the wind blow it off before I reattach it to both ears!  This is a handy accessory to have, especially when running errands where you might be in and out of stores constantly putting your mask on and taking it off.  I do like the idea though, even after this threat has passed, for some who might still need to wear masks regularly for their job or personal health concerns.  Many tha...

DIMPLES AND TANGLES TRAVELS: GULF SHORES AND THE USS ALABAMA

This time two weeks ago we were sitting on the beach in beautiful Gulf Shores, Alabama.  Little did we know that just days later Hurricane Sally would blow through, bringing devastating winds and flooding to the entire region.  Today I'm sharing our trip with you, and as I composed this post I couldn't help but keep the people affected in my prayers as they work to clean up, rebuild, and re-open hopefully soon!  We also had a special event at the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park, which I'll share with you in the second half of the post.  I know many of you know and love this area, so I hope these photos remind you of good times spent there, but also that some of you are friends wanting to visit the area in the future, so I hope this is a good resource for you!  ...

Earlier this Summer I scored a great new pair of lamps from Homegoods, but had no hopes of sharing them with you because many things from HG normally can't be sourced online.  But then, I was so happy to stumble across  these that are virtually identical , and for a great deal to boot (same price I paid at HG).  I like the hefty looking base (it's metal) and the ridged texture that almost resembles bamboo.  There's also a matching  floor lamp version  if you're in the market for one.   ...

Hello everyone, Happy Saturday!  It's been exactly 2 years since my last "Sweet Saturday" post, and lately I've been wanting to start the series back up.  However, it has a new name!  In light of current and recent circumstances in our world, going forward with this series, I want to focus on good things I've seen around the web that have encouraged me or made me smile, and I think you'll enjoy them too.  It might be an Instagram post, home tour, DIY project, YouTube video, blog post, or something else but whatever I share will be uplifting, encouraging, heartwarming, inspiring, or motivating.  I hope you enjoy!

Today for my Five Friday Favorites I'm focusing solely on all of the terrific sales this holiday weekend, and there's a few more than 5.   ;)   This is such a great time of year for sales because with most sites offering discounts site wide, not only can you pick up some amazing end of season deals, but you can also score some great sales on new pieces for the upcoming season.  And... if you find some really great deals, it's not too soon to start tucking away gifts or stocking stuffers for the holidays!  Have fun shopping and enjoy your weekend.  I'm going to resurrect my Saturday series tomorrow but with a new name...

READER TIPS: DIGITAL PHOTO ORGANIZATION AND STORAGE IDEAS

Recently I had a project that I needed a couple of specific older original photos for, and for the life of me I couldn't locate them!  I'll be the first to admit that organizing and storing my digital photos is not a strength for me, so I spent a good amount of time searching for those that I needed.  As you can imagine, I take a LOT of photos!  I've done a better job in the past few years of labeling and storing my blog photos in organized folders on my computer, but I have files and files of photos from before then that need to be dealt with and honestly I wasn't sure of the best way to go about it.  So, I asked my friends on Instagram to share their best digital photo organization and storage tips and I'm sharing those with all of you today! ...

HOW TO TEMPORARILY COVER A LAMP SHADE WITH FABRIC

Thursday, August 13, 2020

HOW TO TEMPORARILY COVER A LAMP SHADE WITH FABRIC

I've been toying with the idea of adding a pair of lamps to my mantel for a while, I had some there years ago and loved the look.  On a recent trip to Homegoods I came across the perfect pair- they had a slim enough profile to fit on the mantle and were tall enough to add some height.  And, the bases look like bamboo and were already the perfect color!  These are probably technically buffet lamps, that's the term you would use to search for a similar shape and size.  Although the shade was a perfect crisp white, when I put them on the mantle the shade totally disappeared... they needed some oomph!  Since the shades were so nice and we all know I like to move things around a lot, I didn't want to do anything to them that would permanently damage the shade should I want it to be white again in a different spot.  I've covered shades with fabric in the past using hot glue but they were always old shades that I didn't care about using again in their original condition...

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE: MASTER BATHROOM- WALLS, CABINETS, AND PAINT {WEEKS 5-6}

Hello everyone, did you think I forgot about you?  I didn't!  I literally have been so busy working on the room that I haven't had the time to sit down and put a post together.  Especially this one, it's a doozy and big catch up since we missed posting an update last week.  In light of the turmoil happening nationwide during the week that Week 5 updates were due to be posted, the One Room Challenge organizers decided to cancel that week so that everyone could focus on the more important issues at hand of racial equality and justice.  I for one as well as likely most of you have started to have our eyes opened about the racial injustice that is alive and well in our country.  I shared my thoughts here and here , but in a nutshell fully believe that the change we need in our nation begins in MY heart and in your heart, spreads to us influencing and teaching those in our own home, and then we can work together to change our communities.  Jesus is the only one who can truly c...

Thank you all for sharing my excitement after seeing the design plan for my Master Bath makeover last week.  I'm so excited to see it all come to life!  I also appreciate your input about the chandelier and the rug situation.  I'm now certain that the chandelier will be centered in the room but am still undecided on a rug.  I love the idea of one large rug in the center, but not sure that I want to just cover up all of pretty new tile we put in.  I know something will work out in time... If my amazing photos in today's post (ha, right!) caught your attention in the guest participant link up and you're visiting for the first time today, I'm so glad you're here!  Catch up on what you've missed here: Week 1- Before Photos Week 2- Design Plan Moving on to this week's One Room Challenge update-  I have absolutely nothing pretty to show you!  But in this scenario, progress itself is beautiful, right?  So without further adieu... IT'S #DEMODAY!!...

I PAINTED MY CHINA CABINET {GREEN CHINA CABINET MAKEOVER}

There's been a project looming for several years that I've wanted to tackle, but other things kept jumping on the "to-do" list ahead of it.  However, since we've had so much time at home and I had all of the supplies on hand, I finally buckled down and painted my china cabinet!  But if you've been a fan of the green china cabinet, never fear!  It's still green, just a slightly different shade. ...

TARGET OPALHOUSE FAVORITES

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had a nice weekend.  For the past few weeks we've been doing so many random (quarantine) projects around the house and taking advantage of some gorgeous weather to work outside.  Most of those  projectsnever make the blog, I usually just share quick snippets on Instagram.  Maybe I need to do a big round up post of all of those things to share with you here!  I haven't done much on my Master Bathroom One Room Challenge makeover though.  I need to get moving because that finish line is going to be here before I know it! ...

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE: MASTER BATHROOM- DESIGN PLAN {WEEK 2}

Hi friends, welcome back for my Week 2 update for the One Room Challenge !  This Spring my husband and I are finally tackling a long overdue Master Bathroom Makeover.  If you missed the proof of our dire renovation need, be sure to see all of the "before" photos in last week's post.  After scarring you eyeballs with those beauties, let's focus on prettier things this week as I share our Master Bathroom design plan with you! I believe I mentioned last week that part of the reason this makeover has taken so long to happen is totally my fault, I just could not decide on a direction I wanted to go with the design.  It didn't help that I love so many different styles and designs, I just couldn't make up my mind!  I knew I wanted it to be classic, timeless, and traditional, but for me that includes a huge dose of color as well.  After years of browsing blogs, Pinterest (follow my Bathrooms inspiration board here ), and magazines for inspiration, my creative whee...

GRADUATION GIFT GUIDE

GRADUATION GIFT GUIDE

Graduation season is upon us, and although our grads are tragically missing their graduation ceremony and parties, we can and should still shower them with lots of love!  Honestly, I've always been a little stumped for graduation gift ideas.  I mean cash is always an obvious choice (and very much appreciated if the grad is saving up for something big like a computer to use at school), but sometimes one might be looking to give something a bit more personal.  Well now that I've had a past graduate who received some super thoughtful gifts last year, I feel like I can pass along some great Graduation Gift Guide suggestions to you! ...

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE: MASTER BATHROOM- BEFORE PHOTOS {WEEK 1}

Here we go again... it's been years since I've participated in a One Room Challenge Project .  I think it's taken me that long to recover and get psyched up to take on another project with a deadline!  And obviously, if you followed along with me through the Kids' Bathroom Makeover that started last Fall and didn't wrap up until earlier this Spring, it's clear that I need a deadline to finish a big project in a timely manner.  In the past I've participated three times, 5 years ago with our  Master Bedroom , 4 years ago with our Powder Bath , and 2 years ago with my daughter's room .  This time, I'm so excited to be renovating our Master Bathroom.  You'll see, it's a project that is way, way, way overdue!

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

For me these days seem to drag on at times, today the same as yesterday, but boy it seems like Friday came quickly this week!     It helps so much when the weather is beautiful as well.   And, the peonies in my yard are blooming... what could be better??  I've been working on a paint project this week that you've seen if you follow me on Instagram.  I'm waiting on a few finishing touches and will be ready to share it here soon!  Also, another round of the One Room Challenge starts next week and I'm thinking of jumping in and participating.  I need a bit of accountability and a deadline to get a certain project rolling and finished.  I've been a little unmotivated to blog lately but feel that I'm getting past that hump and have several things that I just need to sit down and write up to share with you... some small makeovers, a little travel, a few tutorials and possibly some food and fashion.   However, I'd always like to hear any suggestions of what you...

DIY DYED FAUX ORCHID BLOOMS AND FAUX + REAL ORCHID ARRANGEMENT

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a simple, quick project with you of some DIY dyed faux orchid blooms and the faux  + real arrangement that I used them for that's pretty convincing if I do say so myself!  I almost hesitated to share it at all but thought it might get someone's creative wheels turning.  So we'll start with a pretty "after" picture... ...

DARLING FRONT DOOR HANGERS

DARLING FRONT DOOR HANGERS

If you're like me, you've had a steady stream of neighbors you never knew you had walk by your house trying to get some fresh air every day.  As they walk, they're likely looking at your yard, your home, and your porch (because I'm pretty sure most people are as nosy as I am like that!).  Most of us are limited to what we can do in the way of live plants and flowers on our porch while we're being encouraged to stay at home, but even the simplest little touch of a cute door hanger can perk up your front door.  So, if your porch needs a little pick me up, here are some darling front door hangers that will ship straight to your house! ...
