Perhaps it is our endless summer weather here in Hawaii, or maybe I just love a quick and healthy dinner fix, but for whatever reason I am LOVING a light dinner of stuffed mushrooms lately. Portobello caps are so easy to snag at the store and bring home to whip up. They make pulling together…
How To Create Paint Swatches
Another old project here, how to make your own paint swatches that you can bring anywhere. I saw this awesome post, Customizable Paint Deck @ Natty By Design. And thought what a great idea! I want to add some pink to my old bedroom, but needed something that looked good with my blue furniture. So I…
Cupboard Makeover
This is one of my favorite crafts I have ever made. I loved it so much. Loved, as in past tense. I sold it when I moved last september. I found the perfect paint colour but I had such a hard time finding a piece of furniture. I went to two flea markets and nothing….
After High School Graduation Bedroom Makeover
Wow, what a long title. My little sister graduated from high school a couple of weeks ago and almost went straight on a 2 week holiday with her boyfriend. My older sister and I had asked for her permission to give her a bedroom makeover (which she totally forgot!). We had so much fun doing it…
Paper Mache Letter
So the artwork I said I would be sharing with you today is actaully not done. Things have been super busy on my end, but I will work on it tonight and hopefully have it done by Fridays post. This is actually a project I created over 2 years ago as a part of…
Painting Challenge
Another month, another challenge. I love painting. I have always loved painting. However I have not always had the motivation to paint. This month I will focus on painting art work, but I also have a few – alright a lot – of old projects that have involved paint that I will be sharing with…
Healthy Eating Challenge Wrap-up
Another month has passed and another challenge is done. I cannot believe how fast time flies. I have tried to be more healthy but… I really really really like unhealthy stuff. I made this delicious cake and I was more or less the only one who ate it (well the half that was left after my…
Hummus Recipe
I think hummus tastes so good! I also love finger food, tapas, whatever you want to call it. I am all about sharing food. Last fall my family and I made an Arabian night dinner. We had all this different kinds of delicious food that we made together (the kitchen was a mess!). Here is the…
Five Healthy Lunches
Hi, I’m Renee and I blog over at Creative Mama, Messy House. I am all about shopping locally and eating your veggies, so I am really excited about Trine’s “Healthy Eating” May challenge. I have been trying to lose about 20 pounds of baby-weight, so eating healthy has been on my mind. Today, I have decided to…
Wall Stensil Buddha
This is a really old post, from the apartment I first lived in when I started this blog. My sister bought a vinyl buddha for her wall the previous autumn. The silver looked great on her white walls. Earlier that spring it started peeling quite a bit on the side of the face. After watching…
