  If I had to name my blog crushes, Erin from Lansdowne Life would be right up there! Post after post she comes up with amazingly creative ideas, DIY, and repurposes things you wouldn’t have even thought of. They live in an 81 year old house and are constantly renovating (love!). Her blog is a HUGE source of inspiration and you could fill a pinboard with pretty much everything on Lansdowne Life. Erin graciously offered to guest post and I jumped at the chance to share her with you … [Read more...]

Potato Stamped Chevron Print

I’ve been wanting to use chevron somewhere in my home but didn’t want to fork up the money to order fabric. I loved and pinned this post on block printing a chevron print from Prudent Baby, and although it was cheap, I needed something free. I dug back into my memories of grade school art class, American Girl magazines, and a certain sleepover party – sorry, no pics :( – where we made veggie stamped pillowcases. Potatoes! I’ll use potatoes to make new throw pillows! Cut … [Read more...]
