Good evening friends and welcome to our Create • Share • Inspire Link Party. We are so happy you have joined us this week and we are looking forward to seeing your incredible DIY projects, crafts, home decor and recipe posts.
How to Paint a Room Like a Pro
This post has been a long time coming. Before the holidays we tackled a big project. We painted the entire main living space of our home, including the kitchen, hallway (both on the main level and upstairs), living room and dining room and I couldn’t be more happy with the results.
When we moved into our home 3.5 years ago, the entire house was painted Shaker Beige by Benjamin Moore. It is a lovely neutral, but it was just too much of the same color for us. We were craving a change.
Last year we painted our master bedroom and the nursery and wallpapered the powder room, so I was excited to get started on the rest of our home. I wanted to continue with the same soothing and calm atmosphere, and after a lot of deliberation we choose two beautiful neutrals that make our home feel light, bright and a little more modern.
Now, I’m not going to spoil the fun and share the colors we chose just yet. I’m working on a fun reveal post to show you the newly painted kitchen, hall, living and dining room, but for now you’ll just have to wait until I reveal the paint colors!
Vintage-Inspired Toolbox DIY Tutorial
Good morning friends!
Today I want to share a sweet little DIY project my husband made for me.
This summer I found a charming wooden toolbox at a local market, complete with the patina of a well-worn piece. I scooped it up knowing I would have so many uses for it, I actually wrote a post about it here. I’ve used it as a herb planter, a garden caddy and it’s the perfect vessel to hold all of your entertaining needs for impromptu company.
I’ve used it so much and moved it from room to room in our home, it got my husband thinking. He knew he could easily build me a few extra vintage-inspired toolboxes so I wouldn’t have to keep swapping out the one we have. I love this project because it’s so versatile. You can change the size of the toolbox to suite your needs, depending on what you are using it for and where you are displaying it. And you can have so much fun with the way it looks – you can give it a white-wash, stain it or paint it a bright bold color. There are so many possibilities.
Create Share Inspire {Link Party #11}
Hello and welcome back to Create • Share • Inspire Link Party.
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. It was wonderful and refreshing to take some time to spend with our family and friends, and simply enjoy the holiday. But we are all excited to be back and hosting our link party again. We can’t wait to see what you have been up to!
Simple French Bread
I may have named this recipe Simple French Bread, and although the process of making it is simple, the taste is anything but that. The aroma of fresh bread baking in your house is one of those scents that everyone loves. It induces feelings of comfort as well as hunger for the impending dinner.
Unfortunately, conventional bread recipes take a little more work and time to bake the perfect loaf. This recipe is so simple that you only need one hour and as little as five ingredients, ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
After you make this recipe, you may never buy bread from the bakery again. You’ve just given yourself license to be the baker! So if you forgot to pick up bread to go with your Sunday night dinner and think that it’s too late to make a homemade loaf, think again. You will impress your family or dinner guests with this.
Thoughts For the New Year
Hello my sweet friends. I hope you had a beautiful Christmas and a lovely time ringing in the new year. We definitely took advantage of some much needed time off and simply enjoyed the break and quiet days filled with family and friends.
I always feel such peace in the beginning weeks of January. It’s a little cliche, but I do feel like it’s the start of a new chapter. It’s a time to reflect on the past year and organize my thoughts, goals and ambitions for the year ahead of us. It’s a feeling of hope, excitement and the ability to achieve great things.
Looking back, 2015 was an amazing year for us. We accomplished so much and created so many beautiful memories, but by far the highlight was welcoming our baby girl into the world.
Top 10 Blog Posts of 2015
As another year comes to an end I thought it would be fun to compile our Top 10 Blog Posts of 2015.
Nick and I are creative people at heart. We love spending our time creating. Whether it is building something from scratch, re-purposing an old and unwanted item into something new, or simply baking something sweet in the kitchen, we always put our heart and our soul into it.
Our little blog has provided us the perfect place to share our DIY projects, crafts, home decor and recipes with you in hopes that we can inspire you to embrace your own creativity. And we are forever grateful to each of you for visiting and joining us on this journey.

Mulled Wine
The sweet and heady smell of mulled wine simmering away on the stove is one of the best aromas I can think of. It brings to mind comforting thoughts of cold winter evenings spent snuggled on the couch, sipping a glass of this warm and fragrant drink. While mulled wine is a common celebratory beverage…
