Last year I posted a Christmas project tutorial that was very popular. It was inspired by an Anthropologie version of a snow globe that was pretty, but was soooo overpriced.

Gold Glittered Feather Thanksgiving Name Cards

How to Install A New Bathroom Faucet
This post brought to you by Moen, Incorporated. All opinions are 100% mine.Replacing our downstairs bathroom faucet has been on the to do list for as long as we have been living in our house, about 13 years. It's one of those projects that we keep saying that we'll get to, and then life happens and there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything that we would like! Can you relate? Although I have no plumbing experience, I thought it was high time we replaced our old, outdated faucet for ... [ Read More ]
