Wall stencil

One of the many things we love about our house is our entry way. Nowadays builders don't build homes with great entry ways. This is a before picture looking towards the front door.


Prior to purchasing our house I was in the clearance section at Joanns and spotted this demask stencil. It was on clearance for 1 dollar. I have read blogs and know that stenciling is the newest rage, so I bought two stencils, a sponge, and delta paint creme. Total cost of this project 9 dollars, everything was on clearance!





I used a standard leveler, and used tape to hold the stencil against the wall. It took me 5 hours give or take to complete this project. Here is a view from our front room into the entry way.

These pictures don't do it justice. All I have to say is, thatI am in love with this wall and what can I stencil next?

Bear Lake

For the Easter holiday, we escaped to Bear Lake. The weekend was spent relaxing and enjoying each others company. It was a cold and windy, but we didn't let that damper our fun.

The kids spent a lot of time outside spinning on the merry-go-round.

And playing in the heated pool.

We celebrated Easter by eating ham, coloring eggs, and having an Easter egg hunt.

We love our Fullmer Family getaways, sugar filled and all.

I am blessed and greatful to be apart of such a wonderful family.

The Devil cabinet

We are short on cabinet space in our kitchen. I was looking for a small cabinet, that I can put our canned and dried food in. I purchased this cabinet from Homedecorators.com. It is actually great quality for the price. It is not your typical particle board crap.

I purchased this cabinet knowing I was going to paint it black, because that is the color of our furniture through out our house. I thought it would be an easy task. Once it comes, it will be disassembled and it will be super easy to spray paint right......wrong. It started off easy, until the paint started to bubble due to the manufacture finish on it. I then had to sand the entire thing, and hand paint it. Once I hand painted it, I didn't like that that it wasn't smooth ( I know, I know, I am too picky) so I antiqued it. I finished it off by purchasing new antiqued pewter knobs from Hobby Lobby for 2.99 a piece.


This cabinet is the Devil. It occupied my garage while I worked on it for three weeks. It was a pain to paint, it was a pain to put together. But I finally I finished it. Overall I am okay with results. I am not in love with it, but I don't hate it anymore. However I will always refer to it as the devil.

Change up

Before....

Not too bad.

After.....

Much better.

This mirror I purchased prior to getting married. It has been propped up on the floor of my living room for a year now, and it even survived multiple floods. I purchased it from Big Lots for 25.00 dollars.

Moss covered letters

Moss covered letters are the all the rage. However, their price tag is not so appealing. I spent a total of 10.00 compared to buying one for 30.00 dollars

I could have saved more money by not purchasing the moss cover, and buying your traditional moss. I was trying to cut down on the mess and because I spent the extra 2 dollars, this project literally took 5 min. to complete. Which was totally worth the extra money.

I purchased this letter and the moss at the local Joann's store. (I had coupons)

I hot melt glued the letter and just rolled the moss cover over the top of it. Super easy.

When I was complete, I just trimmed off the excess and added a ribbon which I already had.

Tada....It's done, and you just saved 20.00 dollars.
