Storage style Alexia Bench with drawers
Let’s take a little blast to the past. How about October of 2014 to be exact when I found the plans of a darling little storage style bench with drawers online and I just had to make it! It’s been 3 1/2 years since this storage style bench was made and still to this day I get asked about it all the time.

DIY Fall Pumpkin Harvest and polka dot painted birch logs
This has to be one of my all time favorite crafts that I have made to date. It is a classy statement piece. Pair the large pumpkin with a smaller birch log pumpkin and these Harvest pumpkins can be displayed from September through November. Perfect for Halloween, Fall and Thanksgiving. First gather your round birch bases – Luckily we scored these from an awesome neighbor who had a lot sitting by the side of her house. She was kind enough to part with them!

DIY “Beach Time” Round Door hanger Tutorial
While looking through Pinterest I saw this darling clock that said “On beach time”. The clock didn’t have any hands on it and I loved the thought of it. Knowing it would be a perfect addition to my beach themed porch! As I backed out of my drive way that same day I noticed the Round monogrammed sign hanging on my door! It was like fireworks went off!!! There was nothing on the backside of my round monogrammed initial! The next day I called Avry and told her to come over and bring her round board with her. We painted them a light blue color and white washed over top of it. We sanded…
