I made this animal alphabet card art for my oldest son’s nursery and loved it so much that it is one of the few elements we have also used in my youngest son’s nursery. I thought today I would share the tutorial for how I made the art in the first place. Here it is [...]
This rocker has spent many hours cradling mama and baby. We purchased this Storytime Rocker in blue, because it was on sale and because it worked well with my first son’s nursery. The blue does not work so well in my youngest’s teal nursery. A slipcover became a necessity. It also proved highly [...]
Perhaps my biggest and best DIY project of 2011 was starting Teal & Lime in June, but what really made that possible was all the great home DIY projects I had to share. Here is a recap of the 10 most popular DIY projects I completed and shared here in 2011. I found it interesting [...]
A box pleat crib skirt is simple to make and gives a tailored look to the nursery. I especially like this style for boys, as opposed to a ruffled crib skirt. If you only need a crib skirt on one side, then you only need one yard of fabric. Otherwise, you can also make a [...]
I started a new tradition this year for the boys to exchange handmade gifts with each other. Yesterday I shared the lacing cards Jax made (with lots of my help) for his brother. Now it is his turn to make something for Jax. This is a great last minute gift idea [...]
This year I wanted to start a tradition of the boys exchanging handmade gifts. Of course I helped considerably with my youngest’s gift for his brother. My older son was able to offer a lot more help with his little brother’s gift. First up was lacing cards for Jax (<2 years old) to give Pepé [...]
We recently got our gorgeous Christmas cards. Can I just say hooray for die-cut cards? Our photographer just started carrying them this year and I love them. The cards are amazing, but the included envelopes were not so special. The plain ivory envelopes left something to be desired. I saw this idea for
There is something I just love about the classic, simple, functional look of brown kraft paper. I have even purchased those plain brown papier-mâché ornaments and hung them directly on the tree without any decorating. I think I just love the relief of the matte brown paper mixed in with the lights and the other [...]
Punchdown to Christmas
I love interactive advent calendars. I wanted to make the ultimate interactive, fun advent calendar. So, I made it like a carnival game. I wanted something fun for the boys each day leading up to Christmas. What better than a punch game? Each day the boys get to punch out their prize. [...]
Like a Ball Gown for Your Christmas Tree
You can make this tree skirt for $12 and in less than an hour! A tree skirt is an important part of Christmas decor. It helps conceal the tree stand and ground the tree. The fabric goodness under the tree looks great before there are presents under [...]
Reverse Appliqué – Engraving with Fabric
I have never bought a stocking. It is right up there with pillows on my list of things you should not buy if you know how to sew. Even if you don’t know how to sew, these felt stockings are an easy beginner sewing project. There is only one [...]
A bench is a great way to add extra seating at the dining table. We have an Ikea Bursta bench in our foyer that we use for extra seating. The bench lives everyday in the foyer under the Captains mirror gallery. With the [...]
I want to show you a super easy way to decorate the edges of canvas art. I gave my family silhouette art a gilded edge effect with this method. I love how the canvases seem to pop off the wall. Plus, the edges are a great [...]
I pinned, then I created! This past weekend I made a commitment to participate in the Pinterest Challenge Fall Edition with Young House Love, Ana White, Bower Power, and House of Earnest. Since making my commitment I worked diligently [...]
