Have a little one learning how to keep their balance? Learn how to make this easy DIY balance beam that will be perfect for any child’s playtime. My precious niece is practicing her balance so her BAE (Best Aunt Ever) wanted to make her a balance beam. I get a lot of project inspiration from my niece!

Some amazing friends gifted me this headboard. I entertained a few ideas before landing on its new functionality. My first thought was maybe a bench, but it was not quite right. It was, however, the perfect height and shape to create a desk. This repurposed headboard would now have new life as a desk.

This little craftaholic had to of course make her very own fall sign. I’m currently obsessed with all things buffalo check so I thought I’d incorporate some fun buffalo check into my design. It is very easy to do. The best part is that you don’t need any special equipment to make this diy buffalo check sign!

One small step for child, one giant step for all adults who no longer have to pick up and hold a growing toddler at the sink. Last weekend I built an easy DIY step stool for my niece to use in my mom’s house. It was just her size and the best part about this project is I was able to use scrap wood I had laying around. If it is free, it is for me. Who doesn’t love to save money these days am I right! Don’t happen to have any scrap wood lying around? Don’t worry. I have you covered. I’ll share what I used and all supplies can be purchased at your local hardware store. Even if you have to purchase supplies at your local hardware store this should still be a project easy on the wallet.

I believe that is so true. We are all artists in some way, whether it is on paper or some other form. I am still trying to hold dear to my inner artist. Thankfully, my precious niece helps keep me young and fun. My niece is pretty much a modern day masterpiece. She is always drawing and creating and this BAE (Best Aunt Ever) loves it! Not too long ago I made Ems a DIY crayon holder to hold her crayons. It was a hit. Nailed it! Definitely the best aunt ever.

This past month I took on one of my most favorite projects to date; a play kitchen for my niece. My sister and I had talked about getting Ems a kitchen. We were either going to purchase one and make it our own or I could build one for her. My niece has my whole heart so naturally I really wanted to build her one. I had so much fun working on this project and I was really able to stretch my building wings.

“Hansel, so hot right now” or rather cactus…so hot right now. This summer it seems we have seen the fad move from succulents to cacti plants and florals and I’m not going to lie I have jumped on this bandwagon hard. I’m pretty obsessed. I absolutely adore all of the cactus prints that I have seen in Hobby Lobby and other craft stores, but I can never justify spending that money on something I could potentially make myself and for far less money.

This weekend I took an old medicine cabinet door I had and gave it a makeover. I was already using it as simple wall decor, but I had just gotten to the point where I was looking at it and thought, ehhhh. So I decided to do something about it…
