HER FIRST APARTMENT- GIRL'S BEDROOM WITH GINGHAM BEDDING

Wednesday, August 12, 2026

HER FIRST APARTMENT- GIRL'S BEDROOM WITH GINGHAM BEDDING

Our daughter recently moved out of town (out of state!😢) to start her full time job after wrapping up her MBA in May .  She has a roommate and they found a beautiful apartment complex in a great spot, we feel like we're on vacation when we go to visit!  Her roommate already had almost everything to furnish the living room so we didn't do any decorating in there, but I did help Emily get her bedroom together.  It was a challenge for both of us... me to restrain myself and her to stretch herself- ha! She doesn't like a lot of extra and likes to keep things simple.  I wanted more pattern mixing, color, pillows, wall art, a rug and lots of layers to make things super cozy- she wanted neutrals, one pillow, wasn't sure about a mirror over the bed, limited artwork, didn't need a rug. I did listen to her and ask her what she wanted and liked along the way- it is her room after all!- and made some adjustments to my original plan. Also, when I arrived to install what I had ......

BOTANICAL GALLERY WALL UPDATE AND SOURCE GUIDE

BOTANICAL GALLERY WALL UPDATE AND SOURCE GUIDE

One of the first projects I shared on my blog (over 13 years ago!) was the botanical gallery wall that I hung in our breakfast nook.  Well I'm happy to say that project has stood the test of time, it's still up and I still love it all these years later!  That's quite a feat with how quickly and frequently things can change around here.  It's also a project that I get asked about often, and when referring readers back to the original post I realized that it needed an update with additional details and sources in order to be a current helpful resource.  So, I'm taking this opportunity to update all of my botanical gallery wall info. and share it with you here. As a refresher, this was a budget friendly project because I used the pages from a botanical book for the artwork, inexpensive plastic frames, and poster board to mimic photo mats (refer to the original post for assembly how-to details). Even though I didn't spend a lot considering the wall coverage I achi......

HOW TO MAKE A FAUX PHOTO CANVAS FOR LARGE PHOTO PRINTS

HOW TO MAKE A FAUX PHOTO CANVAS FOR LARGE PHOTO PRINTS

I recently did a quick project and while working remembered that I don't think I've ever shared this tutorial with you.  This is a method I've been using for years to take large photo prints and give them a faux canvas finish that seals them and gives them some texture.  I've found so many great large wall frames at thrift stores and garage sales, but they are often an unusual size and usually don't have glass with them.  Glass can be expensive to get cut and installed (even if you DIY it), and often I find I prefer to frame larger photos without glass to avoid the glare it causes.  So, this method of making a "faux canvas" photo print is easy to customize the size you need and affordable!   For the project, you'll need the frame you want to use, your photo print , a backer board for your photo, spray adhesive , a foam roller and tray , and some Mod Podge .  I prefer the Matte finish for this project but if you want a glossier finish there are other op......

SPRING REFRESH PHOTO GALLERY WALL

SPRING REFRESH PHOTO GALLERY WALL

Today I'm joining a small group of fellow home bloggers hosted by Annie of Most Lovely Things to share a little Spring Refresh project with you.  My project isn't specifically related to "Spring", but Spring is always when I get the biggest itch to change things around in the house and my "to-do" project list gets even longer.  So, I thought this would be a good opportunity to knock out a project that's been on that list for months!  If you're looking for Spring specific ideas, check out my Spring Home Tour from my last post. ...

Well Friday sure did come quickly again! Do you have fun weekend plans?  The weather in OKC is supposed to be gorgeous this weekend, so I have plans to spray paint alllll the things, spruce up the front porch for Valentine's Day, and finish up a few other projects.  And Sunday we'll keep an eye on the game and commercials after church but mostly save room all day for yummy snacks!   I'm especially excited to share my first favorite thing with you today, and have rounded up some other great Friday favorites this week too!     ( *This post contains affiliate links, including Amazon.  As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
