Create a Huge Gallery Wall

I’ve been dying to put together a huge gallery wall for my office. When we moved, I realized that I had a ton of random wall art that didn’t really work well at the new house. I created this huge gallery wall very inexpensively by simply painting all of the mismatched frames and mats. It was so gratifying to create this beautiful display for our sentimental items using things just waiting to be thrown away. This whole undertaking started with …read more

Glitter Dot Canvas Art

This is the simplest project ever. I created this fun piece of canvas art for my craft room in under 20 minutes.

Assorted colors of craft paint (I used DecoArt Glamour Dust Glitter Paint in Aqua, Champagne and Black Ice, available here.) Large foam pouncer Nail polish remover and cotton balls (for cleaning pouncer …read more

Gallery Wall - Painting Frames and Mats

I’m really excited to share my latest Summer Style Soiree project! This week we are featuring projects inspired by Jacqueline Kennedy. What I think is so unique about Jackie is that she lived a very stylish and fascinating life, but she didn’t say very much about it. As she told her press secretary Pamela Turnure, “I want minimum information given with maximum politeness.” In these times of rampant oversharing (I’m just as guilty as anyone,) this is just such a …read more

My New Favorite Moisturizer - Ellovi Butter

I was recently contacted by Kelly Winterhalter, founder of Ellovi, to sample and review Ellovi’s natural body and lip butters. When she mentioned that there were only 6 ingredients in each product, I decided to give it a go. I’ve been on a little kick to simplify and clean up some of my vices…(nothing crazy, just an effort at no fake sugar, more homemade meals, drink more water, etc., so this fit right in.) I also have some of the driest skin …read more
