Homemade Christmas Decor – Burlap Pillows
Last week I shared with you the first three out of four DIY Christmas projects that I have been working on that involve burlap. Something about the simple natural texture of burlap, makes me want to create everything that I can with it. With my leftover yard or so of burlap I created three very simple, but pretty decorative pillows to add to our Christmas decor.

Photo ornaments are a perfect way to add a special ornament to the tree each year to commemorate each Christmas. They also make a fabulous gift for the people that you are closest too. I have been creating an ornament each year to add to our own tree, and for the kids to give to their Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, and Uncles for their trees too.

It is a totally temporary solution for the holidays, super inexpensive,...

Read MorePhoto Sequence Canvas Wall Art
Today I am bringing you yet a another home decor idea combing two of my favorite things, family photos and quotes. This wall art project involves a sequence of pictures of our family holding hands and leaping into a leaf pile and a quote that fit’s it perfectly. Combing them together in a cluster of canvases makes for a personalized and inspiring pieces of home decor that is symbolic and a great daily reminder of what is most important to our family, each other! It’s an obsession, I know, and sometimes I feel like the walls in our home are talking to me because of all the...
