I'm joining in on a Deck the Home Christmas challenge this week, and the theme is wood signs. I had a piece of scrap sheet metal, so I … [Read more...]
Table Top Gingham Christmas Trees
Gingham has been holding strong in Christmas decor for a few years now. The gingham has changed color combos a little, but I seem to see it everywhere.

House Frame Toddler Bed

On the foot board of the bed, I added slats … [Read more...]
