The holiday season is officially upon us and I’m fully decking the halls. My first project of the season has been spreading the Christmas (and generic Winter!) cheer to my neighbors. I achieved Neighborhood Elf Status by decorating our front porch. Today, I’m showing you how to decorate a historic home’s facade for Winter with my Tennessee Christmas theme. It’s really log cabin decor but since I’m a Tennessee gal, humor me. I’ve also joined a group of fantastic bloggers to show off their porch and outdoor holiday decor.
Our small home doesn’t have much storage space but I’ve managed to turn a tiny room (just 35 square feet!) into the organized craft room of my dreams with smart storage for my paint, paper, and craft tools.

Unfortunately, we’re lacking two of the main requirements for a full-scale home redesign: time and money. But that’s okay because I brainstormed and developed a plan to decorate and organize the dining room / entryway with a very affordable budget. How’d I do it? DIY, of course. Here’s what I did …
August was an awesome month for DIY bloggers to show off their best 2×4 DIY builds! Today, I’m highlighting my favorite wood projects that look super professional and don’t take much time or materials! Most of these could be made with the wood scraps I have lying around my garage!
Our old, cheap broom was broken during the move. After a ton of research, I decided I wanted an upscale model. But since I didn’t want to pay the upscale prices (some were as much as $150!), I figured out a way to reuse my broken broom bristles to DIY a cleaning utensil I’m proud to display …
