My dear little blog, I know I have neglected you but really I have good reason. I had a fabulous holiday! There is nothing like time off, surrounded by the ones you love. I am not quite ready to return to posting but wanted to take a sec to share the adorable little gifts I made for Mr. Tig's team at work.

The project started, of course, with a little brainstorming and then a trip to Garrett's for some of there ever so popular and super yummy caramel crisp popcorn.

A trip to both West Elm and Anthropologie for monogrammed mugs.

A couple more trips to purchase cellophane, red satin ribbon, vintage santa ornaments and some adorable labels and bags.

And, ta-dah! This is what I got! Cute, right?! And pretty darn simple.

I was quite pleased with the outcome, and from what I hear they were quite a hit. I also heard that Mr. Tig took all the credit, but that's ok.
What can I say, I love the guy!

So it took me a couple of days but finally, the big reveal...

Our little hallway was an eye sore. It was an empty space that served no purpose at all, so I decided to stripe it up in order to spruce it up a bit. I love the way it looks! The hallway was already painted white and so I chose to go with Haze by Behr {the color we used throughout the rest of the house} this added fluidity and definitely warmed up the space.



Our linen closet.

Tried my best to get a room shot for you. Please try to ignore the light fixture and that hideous ceiling fan. I'll get to those eventually.

The next diy project I'll be tackling will be going here, under this painting, the painting I posted about here. Look at the stripes, don't they look great?!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

DIY Project

So for months now I have been planning on making a canopy to hang over my princess peach's crib but I recently opted to go a slightly different route. I really wanted something different and was inspired by a photo I came across in a children's catalog.

So with my inspiration in hand I headed to the nearest Michael's in search for supplies!!

And here are all the supplies I scooped up!


(I've assured myself I'll get better at photo styling...sometime in the near future)

The project didn't take long at all though it took me months to decide what exactly I was going to do above/around her crib.

The end result!



I'm aware that most people aren't the biggest fans of wall decals but c'mon the most appropriate place for them are in kid's rooms and how cute is this one?! I couldn't resist. It tied in so perfectly to the theme of her bedding. As did the wreath/nest/canopy I made!




She may not be able to say it but I'm pretty sure my princess peach is enjoying the addition to her room. Actually I think she loves it and so does her momma!
