My granddaughter would LOVE this.....these are her colors!! Her Mom painted all her furniture white and did the wall in lavender. This is outstanding!! (I was lucky to sleep on an army cot at a very young age of 4,5,6 yrs. I was very happy though. Daddy built us a small cement block home. When we aged, he built our new house, everything was different. I had turned 12 and everything was CASH, no credit cards. His way, but as a Father he did everything for OUR family. He taught us the Values of life......Love and security, loyalty and survival. All showing his integrity as a Father, Man and Veteran.) Sorry, I got sidetracked. Memories flowing.
What an awesome role model. I pray you followed him on the path he laid out for you all.
Im inspired! Saw a big very full rose in a shop the other day... Made with wallpaper. Ive been wondering how to do it ever since!

If you have been following me on Instagram or even if you have read a few of my posts then you should know things were bound to change on my mantel. I have had a mirror on my mantel since we moved in and while I liked the look of the mirror it was reflecting our dang ceiling fan that I'm not in love with. I live with hot blooded people and they would not survive without a fan in here (insert eye roll emoji). They ceiling fan reflection was.driving.me.nuts. But I am not a huge art fan. I can never find anything I love and usually when I do it's pretty expensive. Since I have commitment issues with my home decor I knew better than to spend tons of money on art at this moment in my life. So the mirror stayed up for over a year. There is beautiful art you can download and print on the internet for under $20. I spent days on Etsy and google looking at all the gorgeous prints until I found THE one! Head over to my blog to see where I found my beautiful print and how I had it printed at Staples for cheap! https://www.lanternlanedesigns.com/budget-friendly-diy-wall-art/.

Making special presents is something I love to do. As it was our wedding anniversary coming up I decided to make something nice for my husband instead of buying a present in the shop. I always try and go with the tradition and this year it was 7 years - copper & wool traditionally. I decided to make a wooden sign with carved personal details and some copper detailing.
I was hording pull tabs for the kids school charity event. After the event, we were still in the habit of saving pull tabs, so I had built up a large stash. I decided to get creative and see what I could come up with using the pull tabs.
I've been seeing DIY chandelier and light fixtures all over Pinterest so I finally decided to dive and (hopefully) make a tad bit more simplified version of what I have seen out there.

We always knew we wanted raised garden beds built with rocks. I am sharing how we built them and what we learned along the way.These days, it seems that everyone is talking about and having raised garden beds. There are so many advantages to them so that we finally decided to put some in our garden.But we didn’t want to build them from wood or metal. I wanted them to blend into the garden of our 1910 Victorian shingle-style home. So we needed something else. Finding that solution is what kept us from putting them in for a while.Now, I am so happy to report we did!
My kids no longer use the bunkbed in the play room and after a year of trying to sell it I gave up and decided to repurpose it. This bunkbed was real oak wood and I could not bring myself to putting this out on the curb.

I'm a trash-to-treasure visionary. Simply put, that means I'll gather and hold on to anything that has potential. It's a problem, and yet...sometimes it really pays off.This is a Cracker Barrel rocker that one of my tenants left behind when they moved. I asked her permission to take it and she was happy to oblige. You can see by the photos, it appeared to be in pretty bad shape, but it was very heavy, and not a bit wobbly. It sat in this condition on my front porch for the last four years. I finally got around to sprucing it up because I wanted to sell it. After finishing, it looks like I might just be keeping it.
I have a quick and easy DIY for you today. I am laughing as I write this as I am kind of known for my accent walls (I have promised no more on a few occasions), and well, here I go again. ;) Today, I am sharing my version of a Mid-Century Modern Wood Accent Wall.
Looking around my home I realized I was tired of seeing the same old look - of plain glass containers - some I had gotten at thrift stores - like vases, jars and even glasses - and wanted to change things up a bit. I decided to shop my home - looking at things with a fresh eye to see what I could give a new look to.
We are in our 3rd Lockdown and Stay at Home orders here in Ontario Canada and that doesn't bother me, but it has made me have to become more creative in my diyng especially this time around as my go to Dollarstore is only allowed to sell essentials and hardware stores etc are all curbside. So it is abit more challenging to design anything but I love a challenge! It has also given me the opportunity to go through my " junk" I have collected and put it to use. And that's exactly what I did when I came across this antique sieve/ strainer, whatever you want to call it.

If you have wondered how to diy a roman shade I’ve got you covered! This tutorial is simple and for a beginner which is why I can do it and you can too! Several years ago I attended a beginner sewing class hoping I would become the next Martha Stewart. Although that never happened I did learn some sewing basics and how to sew a roman shade, which I am so glad to know. When I say basics I mean I can sew a relatively straight line and that is all the sewing skills you need to make a roman shade. PIN THIS!
I wanted an inexpensive door wreath that could be used for more than one holiday or season and that would be shallow enough to fit in between our seasonal door and front door. I prefer floral wreaths, but finding one that fits is always a challenge. I decided a door vase would be a perfect solution. Using a rusty can and mostly Dollar Store supplies I had on hand, I made a hanging door vase that will hold inexpensive seasonal floral bouquets.
I love to repurpose and upcycle my old jeans into things around my home and have made loads of things. Not only that I love to use all the parts of a pair of jeans and not all my projects require sewing either, like my very popular denim waistband rug.For my latest denim upcycle I have used the seams and hems from a pair of jeans.
