Copper is one of the most beautiful metals that blends into nature seamlessly. It is a nice choice for outdoor sculpture. I’ve always wanted to work with copper tubing and add a bit of whimsy to the backyard and deck so I decided to take a chance and make a spinning Copper Mobile. This was my first time working with copper and oh my people, it was so fun and easy! Anyone can do this! How to Make a Copper Mobile You will need the following: 10 feet of 1/4 in copper tubing (appx. $10) a copper ... Read More about Create a Copper Mobile
Pallet Art: Shark
Shark sighting!!! Jaws is lurking around the kids’ playroom. He may not be a Great White, but he’s a ferocious black tip that dwells in the waters right off my coast!

It’s Saturday at dawn and I can already tell by the sun peeking through the blinds that it’s going to be another scorcher of a day.

My oldest daughter and I went ... Read More about A DIY Family {Half Pipe}
Painting with Chalk Paint
I have a few confessions to make… I have been envious of some of my big-bloggy-girlfriends for a few years now. They’ve all had amazing opportunities to work with and try out ASCP (otherwise known as Annie Sloan Chalk Paint). Even though I live in a community of 1.7 million, we are not blessed to have an ASCP stockist in our area. My recent trip to the Haven Conference provided the chance the meet with the ASCP people! They were knowledgeable, inviting women who also had amazing giveaways for ... Read More about Painting with Chalk Paint
Privacy Screen
Our deck is one of our favorite outdoor spaces to spend time on. Because of our mild temperatures here in the south, we can eat outdoors three out of four seasons a year. The deck was big and beautiful but we hand one problem, privacy. Living on a corner lot exposed the side of our deck to the street and the western setting sun. As much as I love my neighbors I really didn’t like the feeling of being so exposed. Oh look, the Wilson’s are having dinner again on the deck. Fine, call me paranoid, I ...
