I'm back!!! I can't believe it's been so long. And let me tell you, life has changed drastically for the better! We ditched Southern California and moved to Colorado. And loving every minute of it. I've been dreaming about this move for a long time and I'm ecstatic that we were finally able to do … Continue reading Victorian Farmhouse Adventure
I've been a cleaning and organizing freak lately! Look at me go - another project in the bag! This little desk has been sitting in my garage for, oh, almost 2 years. Poor thing. It's so cute! And now... So pretty! I sprayed it with Moss Green Satin from Rust-Oleum. And surprisingly, it only took one … Continue reading Rattan Chevron Moss Green Table
I do not like plastic furniture. I quite dislike anything plastic. But I dislike being wasteful more. Quite a few years ago we wanted lounge chairs for the backyard. Of course I wanted teak ones. But not having much money hinders that plan. Coincidentally, I literally stumbled across these while on a walk. Someone was … Continue reading Plastic Lounge Chairs Makeover
This cake sort of marks an occasion. Not only was it for my daughter's 5th birthday party but it was an actual creative domestic project that I completed. It's been a while and I'm hoping to tap back into my creative side. 2014 was one CRAZY-ASS year for me. I put Katch Studios on hold … Continue reading Ombre Cake
Hey-O! Look at this - we have a completed project! The Master Bath in our home is usable and fully functional. Well... we still need to mount the tp holder that is somehow missing a part, but that's not holding us back. And we LOVE it! The photos don't do it justice because there is … Continue reading New Master Bath!
Finally getting around to decorating for the holidays. And trying to do that with the two tornadoes (my daughters) isn't so easy. But I managed to make a wreath. It's a super basic one with noble tree trimmings, succulents and dusty miller. I just wired everything together onto a metal hanger from the dry cleaners. … Continue reading Holiday Succulent Wreath
I LOVE Halloween. But this year I have two kids under the age of 4 and they're really eating into my scary movie time. I'm a horror fanatic. So if making tissue ghosts and paper bats is as close to spooky-ness as I can get, well, I guess I'll take it. But The Walking Dead … Continue reading Creepy Ghosts and Bats
After having a new sliding-glass door installed and our jungle of a backyard butchered, I finally have enough light to take a picture of our new-ish TV cabinet. It's a vintage buffet that we found at a local antique shop. The previous owner painted it white and distressed it. It fits all of our electronic … Continue reading Vintage TV Cabinet
This post is for Kelly. 😉 Thank you so much for commenting on my Instagram post. I was going to send a long-winded response but I thought a blog post would be more fitting. Here's the deal, people: I just acquired this Victorian era fireplace mantle FOR FREE. A HUGE thank you to Bud from … Continue reading Late 1800s Fireplace Mantle
