DIY Headboard with an Engineer Print, Mod Podge, and Wood

DIY Headboard with an Engineer Print, Mod Podge, and Wood

I discovered engineer prints a few months ago, and this was my first test run. The t0rn edges were an accident that I was forced to try and make look like they were done on purpose. I don’t know if it worked. I stained a large sheet of plywood and then mod podged this poster onto the wood and hammered the heck out of it so it hopefully never’ falls on my head.  It’s quite heavy. I’m sure there…

DIY Chalkboard

I wanted to make my kitchen more cozy, so I moved a shelf from the living room into the kitchen and am using it as a “room divider. Unfortunately, the back of the shelves was pretty ugly and plain. I thought, what can I do with this? So, I painted it with chalkboard paint and it’s not a canvas for my daughter while I make dinner. I also use it to write down grocery lists and other small reminder…

Ten Ways to Get Better Tweets From Staff More Often

Ten Ways to Get Better Tweets From Staff More Often

If you’re in the communications business you know that asking for tweets from staff can be like pulling teeth. I don’t know why it’s so hard, it just is. I think perhaps not everyone sees the value in it. Maybe they think that you’re just trying to fill dead twitter space, and sometimes (you must admit) that’s exactly what you’re doing. By sending valuable tweet, facebook posts, and other…

Free Owl Graphics and Illustrations

Free Owl Graphics and Illustrations

The owl is wary, the owl is wise. He knows all the names of the stars in the skies. He hoots and he toots and he lives by his wits, but mostly he sits. . . (and he sits. . . and he sits). – Author Unknown

Here are some free owl pictures and illustrations that you can (as far as I’m aware), use commercially and in your personal designs. Use them as clipart, transfer sheets, or whatever you want.…

Recently, I discovered a huge assortment of really great circus posters. There are some fabulous collections.…

Rain Gutter Bookshelves and Wall Mural Nursery

Rain Gutter Bookshelves and Wall Mural Nursery

My little one is short, toddler short. Hopefully she’ll be really tall someday. In the meantime, I needed some shelves that would display her books and give her easy access.  Here are my rain gutter bookshelves.

Since taking this picture, I’ve moved her bed over to give her more play room near the bookshelves.  It’s now a small, cozy place for all of her stuffed animals. 

As you can see, we like…

Baker's Rack to Wine Rack

Baker’s Rack to Wine Rack

I’ve never really loved black metal baker’s racks. They just seem cold to me. My mom picked this one up for me at a garage sale. Since my kitchen cabinets are black and I needed storage, AND since I’m a sweet daughter who doesn’t look a gift horse in the mouse, I kept it. In order to bring the thing a little warmth and style, I decided to wrap twine around it. Doing so dramatically changed the…
