DIY Patriotic Fourth of July Ribbon Wreath
I am excited to show you today on how to make your own DIY Patriotic Fourth of July Ribbon Wreath I have loved making the mesh wreaths and recently saw a ribbon wreath in the craft store. In looking over the ribbon wreaths I decided that they wouldn’t be that hard to make on my own. That is where a little research on internet came in handy. Check out this great you tube video I found on how to make your own ribbon wreath. Just slightly altering my wreath I chose not to add the tail of ribbons at the bottom. The video will give you a great start to…

DIY Summer Table Runner – Keeping it Clean and Bright
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #Clean2TheCore #CollectiveBias One of my favorite ways to decorate my home is by using table runners. They are easy to store and they can dress up the kitchen for any season or holiday. My only problem is I have kids and as many of you know kids are very messy eaters. It’s a struggle to put out a table runner that I spent time making only to have it be spilled on, stained then become smelly! Recently I found these all® POWERCORE™ Pacs Plus Removes Tough Odors at my local Wal-Mart in the laundry aisle.…

Front porch Beachaholic Summer Sign
After I got my wooden fish bundle made to hang on my picket fence. I knew that my beach porch still needed more to feel complete. Coming across the idea for this sign that says beachaholic was just perfect! I just couldn’t help myself, I wish I lived closer to the beach. So, I decided to make my own take on the beachaholic sign. I used a board that was 5″ by 20″ I painted the board a teal blue green color. Next I cut an umbrella silhouette and the wording “beachaholic” out of white vinyl, using my personal cutting machine. I kept the wording and the silhouette pretty simple. …

It was feeling a little plain and I was debating on if I should put it away for the summer. I came across these fish nets at the dollar store and began thinking how cute they would be draped over that little picket fence. Then my creative juices started flowing. I thought I could come up with some kind of beach sign and hang a bundle of fish over the fence. I went through my wood scrap pile and found all of these pieces of redwood fencing, the pieces…

Seas the Day sign
Last summer I started making beach themed décor for my house and front porch. I was really excited to pull out the beach décor and getting my summer mood flowing. Some how I thought I had made more beach themed décor, when I pulled out my summer bins and only had a few items to put out. My porch looked bare! I couldn’t remember what else I had paired with the beach items I made last year. I set out on a mission to add a few more pieces to my beach décor. I have been seeing all of these fun beach themed phrases on all kinds of summer décor. …

Thumb tack Hello board
With the weather warming up and daylight staying longer, I get the itch to create and decorate my home with bright colors.

First I dug into the scrap wood pile and then cut some boards 5 inches by 10 inches. I painted the boards white and let them dry. Later I taped off lines across the boards and then gave them a coat of coral paint. I removed the tape before the coral paint was dry to create a stripe on…
