This was something I saw on Pinterest that really caught my attention. And as someone with pounds of beads and no reason to own that many, I love any inspiration that will put them to good use! I didn’t really know how to best approach this idea (or if I would even enjoy having a sparkly spider hanging around) but I kept on going and now it might be one of my favorite creations in a long time.

I’ve been on a kick of viewing nature as God’s decor all around us and what a thing to search and preserve for things I can use in our home too.

I was walking through the antique mall and saw a booth with some miniature birdhouses covered in birdseed and I absolutely loved them!! I figured it should be easy enough to replicate and give one as a Christmas gift to my grandparents - and you guys, it was soo easy and so fun to do.. and messy !!

After living in the house for almost a year, we finally tackled the one project that we had been dreeeaming of! This wall between our living room and dining room is a the complete center of our house. You can walk a full circle around it and it’s always felt like it was in the way. But it’s a load-bearing wall so I knew that in order to open this space up, we’d have to get creative.
