Crafty Monday.

I did this project a few months ago and it has totally changed the feel of our living room. We had a blank white wall with a weird mirror over it and I couldn't find anything I wanted.. until Pinterest gave me a super cute suggestion :)

I bought 6 crates from Michaels for about $12 a piece.

I got some walnut colored stain and a clear gloss. I stained all of the crates [this was the worst part! it seriously took forever!]

We basically just have candles and blankets shoved into each space but it really has warmed the place up! Thanks pinterest, for another great idea!

Three Ingredient Pumpkin Treats

I found a new favorite cookie/cupcake [that's right, it can be a cookie AND a cupcake] and I have a love/hate relationship with it. WHY did I make these?! We've eaten almost all of them in TWO days. 

They're pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies [or you can make cupcakes] and they are the easiest treat you'll ever make. Also, they are the devil. You've been warned. 

These are really the only two ingredients you need. But of course I've added chocolate. But you don't need it if you just want to make some cupcakes or muffins.

Just mix the two ingredients & preheat to 350...

... add some chocolate...

Bake for 18-20 minutes and BAM, you've got amazingly easy and delicious (and might I add festive) cookies. I put the extra batter in cupcake tins and made cupcakes topped with cream cheese & cinnamon frosting. Yep, I had leftover frosting and I added some cinnamon. AMAZE. 

I'll leave you with a craft. I went to Michael's and got a letter, twine and a fake flower. The twine was kind of hard so if I do it again, I might try something different. 

L for Love, Leigh or Lamb. Either one works :)

Hey Crafty!

Recently, I've had the urge to go full on Suzy Homemaker. I want to bake, cook, clean [yeah, just kidding about that one], decorate and do fun at home projects!

Example: My first project. I took a normal busted vanity stool and turned it into something that makes me absolutely giddy whenever I walk into the bathroom!

It's safe to say I'm obsessed with everything Chevron. 

I ordered the fabric from Amazon and I'm pretty sure it was originally from Fabric.com - there were so many awesome patterns, I had a hard time deciding which one to go with. I'm pretty happy with my choice. And it was so easy [just measure it, cut the fabric according to the measurements and put some push pins in there] I figure if I want to change the fabric later, I totally can.

What do you think?! What projects are you working on??
