DIY Plumbing Pipe Curtain Rod

Our DIY Plumbing Pipe Curtain Rod worked out so well in our son's room, that we've now installed similar ones in four other rooms in our home. These make for fantastic extra long rods since they do not bow in the middle and can span the widest windows in your home. Come see our complete tutorial for this DIY Plumbing Pipe Curtain Rod below.

As we work on the different rooms in this ol' house of ours, we have learned that there are definitely quirks. For instance, the four windows (well, I guess *technically* it's four sets of three windows...meaning twelve windows) across the front of the house are all in this off-beat bay-style window. I say off-beat because these little areas have their own ceilings. While blinds would work, I loathe dusting blinds more than I loathe mopping. Exactly. So, we needed a new solution. This was actually our second solution. Our first one went over like an elephant pole vaulting. We crashed and burned on it. But check out how this plumbing pipe curtain rod worked perfectly for our situation (and see what blew up on us, too!).

DIY 3D Artwork with Free Printable Background

All opinions are mine alone. #SpringCreations #CollectiveBias

This DIY 3D Artwork was so much fun to put together. I've got the step-by-step tutorial for you below, complete with the free printable background that creates this piece. It's the perfect addition to your home decor.

This DIY 3D Artwork is perfect for our new home...we have some wall space we need to fill up and this was an inexpensive and FUN way to do so. I was inspired by my husband's love of Brooklyn as well as our friend's layered artwork that was in her home years ago when we hung out there a lot (hi, Amber!). Check out this tutorial and download the city background to create it.

Inspiration Monday

May, y'all. How in the world is it MAY? Before we know it, we'll have a lovely little hiatus from school work, strict schedules, and hopefully the monsoon season that has taken over my state. I'm so READY! :)

Since farmhouse fabulousness seems to be the name of the game lately, I was inspired to put together a fun grouping of features with that theme from last week's party. Seriously, I think we're all a little nuts about Chip and JoJo and the style that seems to be super fun and IT right now! Check out these goodies below.

Free Lemonade Printables

This post for free lemonade printables contains affiliate links. I make a small portion when these links are used, at no additional cost to you.

These free lemonade printables are the perfect addition to your warmer weather decor. They're perfect for your kitchen counter or wall. Or even out on the patio.Download this decorative-recipe-style printable below, pour some delicious lemonade and enjoy the season.

This design was actually the first decorative recipe design I created. I had wanted to make them for years.  My mother-in-law has a cute framed recipe on her kitchen countertop for "Cinnamon Supper Cake". It has always made me want a fun framed recipe somewhere in the kitchen. (I actually made that into its own printable here.) 

I figured with summertime fast approaching that homemade lemonade would be a fun subject for a recipe print. Download this refreshing design below (and, while you're at it, make yourself a cold glass of lemonade, too).

Vintage Eclectic Family Room

Our vintage eclectic family room is one of our favorite spots in the new house. 

It's filled with fun and playful patterns and colors and a big comfy couch.

Come check it out below (and enter a $250 giveaway to Minted!).

This room was interesting to me from the moment we walked into this house. I *think* it used to be a bedroom at one point in time (and was even marketed that way in the listing). But, it doesn't have a closet, nor do we have a need for a 5th bedroom. Since it's located next to the room that will one day be my parents', we want this to eventually be their living room. But, for the time being, we love how cozy it is and secluded from the main parts of the home. It's a nice little hiding spot. Check out it's makeover below. 

How to Create Faux Roman Shades

Today, I'm sharing a tutorial for how to create Faux Roman Shades. These can be no-sew, if you prefer. I've also got a $250 giveaway to Minted, which is where I got the adorable fabric for my faux roman shades, as well as my curtain panels, too!

This window is in the family room in our new home. Tomorrow, I'm sharing the entire room here on the blog (with a white sectional, fun throw pillows, artwork, and lots of colorful touches!). Right now, we are using this as our tv room. It's a bit hidden behind the kitchen and the perfect place to hide out and binge on a few seasons on Netflix (not that we ever do that). Check out the tutorial to create these Faux Roman Shades below.

How to Make a Rolling Planter Box

This post for a Rolling Planter Box contains affiliate links. I make a small portion when these links are used, at no additional charge to you.

This Rolling Planter Box is perfect for any patio or garden area. It works perfectly for veggies, herbs, or flowers. And the best part? It rolls wherever you want it. See our complete tutorial how to make a rolling planter box below.

I'm really excited about this rolling planter box. I've had smaller rolling versions in the past, but this one is the coup de grâce to all other planters. The king daddy, y'all. It's large enough to have a big ol' tomato plant with roots that will grow nice and deep. I worked with my dad to create this one after realizing I really needed a large mobile planter. Where we are located in Texas, our summers go well into the triple digits. My tomato plants have never lasted longer than July because of the extreme heat. When we lived up in the panhandle, I had amazing tomatoes all summer long and well into September (and I miss them). And in Texas, you just have to have homegrown tuh-mate-uhs (that's how we pronounce it down here) with your summertime meals. Or really, just one ripened tomato and a salt shaker seems to work out pretty well, too, (wink). Now that we're down in central Texas, a rolling planter box like this allows me to move my plants around the yard, depending on the heat. I can roll them right up into the shade to protect them on the scorching days. Or even get them out of a crazy hail storm when those pop up. If you live in a colder climate, these would be great to protect plants during the winter...just roll them into the garage (I've overwintered my peppers like this, which results in an early crop the following year).

Our step-by-step tutorial can help you create a Rolling Planter Box of your own, too.

Inspiration Monday

Hey, friends. I'm so happy you're here for the party! It's been a crazy few days (hey, what's new, right?). But, I hope you're enjoying a great weekend FULL of inspiration!

With that being said...since today is all about INSPIRING, I want to share what's coming up this week here on ISBMTF and hope it inspires you, too! I've got three great posts (well, I guess great is subjective, right?)...one is a fun rolling planter (just a peek at its progress up on the left there), and the other is our family room with fun fabrics and some DIY window treatments. Hope you'll come back for the fun.

I can't wait to be inspired by YOU today!

Even though the weather has been all over the place these last few weeks, we still have spring on the brain (and so does everyone else it seems if we were to guess based on last week's link ups!) Today's features were chosen by Jamie @ Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom:

Let's Go On An Adventure Free Printable

This Let's Go On An Adventure free printable is perfect to get ready for the summer travel season...because it's also adventure season, y'all. Grab this freebie below.

Gah. I am so ready for the summer, y'all. I normally wouldn't release a summer printable in April...but I'm just ridiculously ready. After a super stressful year, I'm ready to chill out, turn off the alarm clock and take a road trip with my people. Who's with? Let's go on an adventure, y'all! 

Reducing Toxic Exposure in the Home

Today, I'm working with a non-profit organization, Silent Spring, 

to bring you information about this really awesome new app. All opinions are mine.

Ready to reduce toxic exposure in your home and environment? 

Grab a free app for your phone that can walk you through the entire process.

Just thinking about toxics in and around the home can be overwhelming. Sometimes so overwhelming that I just give up and bury my head in the sand like an ostrich. I've always said I'm kind of soggy crunchy. I love to use chemical-free items in our home and daily lives, but then sometimes I see a good deal and am all about saving a buck for something cheaper, chemical-ly and not so great. Soggy crunchy, y'all. 

I'm about 50% there with being fairly toxic free. It kind of all started when I began using essential oils...and since then I've learned so much and really tried. But, I'm super excited to take it a step further with this new app called Detox Me. 

15+ Free Frilly and Girly Fonts

These 15+ free frilly and girly fonts are perfect for invitations, crafts, and so much more.

Grab some of your favorites and have a ball designing!

Is it just me or is it invitation season, y'all? From showers to weddings to graduations... loads of invitations being designed right now. And a lot of invitations seem to always take on a feminine touch. The below fonts are perfect for invitations, vinyl crafts, signs, printables, and so much more. They're all free, too. Click on the ones you want to download. Please check each artist's Terms of Use before using commercially, etc. Happy FONTING! :)

Inspiration Monday

Welcome to the party, y'all! I'm super excited for you to be here.

We've had a rainy weekend here in Texas. But, we did make a trip down to Austin yesterday to grab a little furniture for our empty house...we're ready for it to not look vacant anymore. I found the BEST deal on couches. But, I'm not going to lie, we had to go to this random warehouse in the middle of nowhere and we were the only customers, y'all. Kind of weird. But, the prices were insanely cheap. We're just hoping we weren't just a part of some shady operation that we helped out. GAH! 

I guess we'll see on Wednesday if the truck with my couches don't show up, right?

Hoping your weekend was just as adventurous...or you know, maybe not? ;)

Spring Clean the Kitchen in Ten Easy Steps

Today's post is brought to you by my favorite grocery store for my entire life, HEB!

All opinions are my own. #HEBSpringCleaningTips

It's that time of year! Join me while I spring clean the kitchen in ten easy steps...

and win a gift card to HEB for $50 to grab some new cleaning supplies!

Now that the kitchen is done from its makeover, it's time to get in the cleaning mode...just in time for spring cleaning! Time to pull out those mops (pun completely intended, y'all) and get going. 

Budget-Friendly Kitchen Makeover

Our budget-friendly kitchen makeover is coming to an end (amen and alleluia). It's been a lot of fun, a load of work, and a process that I'm happy to be finished with. But, I'm so happy with the end result. This was the very first room in our new 1970's ranch home to get made over (click here for the entire tour). As I've said before...if I didn't do the kitchen first, I may have never done it. 

This post has more photos than any other post on this blog, y'all. And I've been blogging here for five years, so that's pretty crazy! But, I wanted to show you every bit of this new space. I actually won't be too chatty in this post...I kind of want the photos to speak for themselves. I will interject every now and then with some info. 

Inspiration Monday

So happy you're here for another Inspiration Monday Party! It's been a beautiful spring weekend in Texas. I was able to get away to Tyler (in east Texas) for a bit and enjoy the AMAZING azaleas and other gorgeous flowers in bloom. It's my favorite part of the state this time of the year. If you ever get the chance to visit in April, I highly recommend the Azalea Historical Home Tour...GAWGEOUS!

We've got some great spring features for you this week!

I love all the decor and food pics that are being featured this week.

20+ Free Teacher Appreciation Printables

These 20+ Free Teacher Appreciation Printables are perfect for Teacher Appreciation Week coming up. The official Teacher Appreciation Week this year May 2nd through May 6th.

Woohoo, I've rounded up 20 of my favorite free teacher appreciation printables from my favorite bloggers! Check all of these awesome ones out below (a few are mine, too!)

The Best Moving Tips From People Who Move A Lot

I've compiled the BEST moving tips from people who move a lot.

From wrapping utensils in paper towels and putting in baggies to taking pics of your tv wires to refer to once you're in the new place...there are all kinds of helpful hints below.

Have I mentioned I have some awesome friends? Since living in a military community for the last nine years, a lot of my friends are members of the military, or military spouses. Sadly, that means a lot of them aren't here too long. Thank goodness for Facebook so we can all stay in touch after they've moved on to their next duty station (and YAY for when they come back!). Some of these friends of mine move every two years...collectively, they all have A LOT of moving experience.

After this recent move of ours, I realized...I truly stink at moving. We just moved a mile away. But, it was, by far, the most stressful situation I've had in a long time (and I was the ding dong that did this while I also finished a book deadline, worked full time, and maintained the blog...bleh!). 

I thought it would be fun to compile a list of tips from all my moving gurus...to save the rest of you from the haphazard moving style we just put ourselves through. 

Easy Spring Porch Refresh Ideas

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. 
All opinions are mine alone. #BigLotsOutdoor #CollectiveBias

We spent some time in the front yard last weekend...trimming trees and giving the entry some nice touches. I've got lots of these easy spring porch refresh ideas below.

We officially bought this house in February...but had been in and out of it with realtors, inspectors, estimates from contractors, and just lookity-looking since the beginning of December. It had been vacant for four years and definitely needed a lot of TLC (more than I think most people were able to take on...or maybe we're just nuts!). One area we always loved from day one was the front yard and porch. There are over a dozen large old trees on the property that give loads of good, southern shade. And now that spring is here, we're able to sit out here and actually enjoy it. Check out the refresh we gave it below.

Our 1970's Breakfast Room Makeover

 A big thank you to ATG Stores for bringing us today's post.

ATG Stores have provided our lighting and more for our breakfast room and kitchen makeover.

All opinions are my own.

We gave our 1970's breakfast room a big makeover with a lot of paint, new lighting, floors, and lots of fun vintage touches. Come check the before and after pics and all of the details below.

We knew right away that this whole space was the first to get made over. If we didn't do it prior to moving in, it just wouldn't get done. We've been in here for about a month now, but are finishing up all the loose ends. I'm really happy that this breakfast area is so done! It's one of the main places we hang out now...talking, eating, and just enjoying this new place.

Top Ten Best Uses for A Label Maker

Do you love labeling like I do? Today, I'm sharing my top ten best uses for a label maker...some you may never have even thought of! From file folders to labeling kids' stuff, below are several ways to conquer your clutter with a label maker.

I got my first label maker as a college graduation gift from one of my sisters-in-law. I loved it. I pretty much labeled all the things. I have a newer and fancier label maker these days and my love for sticking a label on just about anything hasn't changed a bit. Check out my top ten best uses for a label maker below.

Inspiration Monday

Hey, friends!! It's time to PARTAYYYYYYYY! We've had a fun weekend here...lots of yard work, a birthday party, and an awesome TobyMac concert. (Although, I'm totally feeling all of that yard work today!) Hoping you've had a great weekend, too. 

Spring is poppin' up all over the party! Loads of our features are a great example of that.

Teaching Matters Every Day Free Printable

This free printable is perfect for a teacher's gift from the kiddo. This year, the official Teacher Appreciation Week is May 2nd-6th. Let's honor those teachers for all they do!

The best thing about being a teacher is that it matters...the hardest thing about being a teacher is that it matters every day. This quote is from teacher, author, motivational speaker, and professor, Dr.Todd Whitaker. My husband is actually friends with Dr. Whitaker...through the wonderful world of secondary education. He has brought him in to speak on his campus and really admires his work. This is one of my favorite quotes of Dr. Whitaker that is circulating out there in the world. Download this below (available in two color options).

Farmhouse Sink and DIY Kitchen Art

A big thank you to ATG Stores for bringing us today's post.

ATG Stores have provided our sink, lighting, faucet and more for our kitchen makeover.

All opinions are my own.

Come check out our new farmhouse sink and DIY Kitchen Art.

They're the perfect additions to our home makeover.

From the moment I started looking at this house we now live in on its MLS listing, I started thinking about the kitchen. It was dated...but not unmanageable. When I envision these kinds of things, I only let my brain wander as far as my ability to achieve a certain look on my own. I'm all for hiring out when needed (which we did in several instances in here), but for the most part, I've always been a DIYer. One thing we decided on fairly quickly was an apron-front sink (which is often called a farmhouse sink). Check out our new sink and the homemade artwork I made for it below (and some fun before pics!). 

Inspiration Monday

Happy Easter, y'all! Hope you're enjoying this weekend. It's been fun around our house...we made resurrection rolls, dyed eggs and are off to grandma's today. Blessings to you and yours on this special day. 

Today's picks were chosen by Leigh Anne from Your Homebased Mom. So many yummy recipes and fun ideas linked up last week! Leigh Anne picked a few of her favorite recipes that were shared and a couple of fun ideas to freshen up your house for spring. Enjoy! 

Free Printable Teacher Appreciation Tags

This post for free printable teacher appreciation tags contains affiliate links. I make a small portion when these links are used, at no additional cost to you.

These free printable teacher appreciation tags are perfect for your favorite educator. Let your teacher know how much you appreciate them with simple, inexpensive (yet, super thoughtful) gifts like this one. These free printable teacher appreciation tags are perfect for Teacher Appreciation Week and end of the school year gifting.

This is completely unrelated to this actual post, but this is the first "staged" photo I've taken in the new house...in the sunroom. I worried that the sunroom may not work out for photos, but I'm actually super happy with how clean and bright these came out. Yay for getting back to normal! 

Okay...back to what this is really about! ;) Like I said, I love to do several inexpensive gifts throughout Teacher Appreciation Week...and this one would be perfect. I know how hard our teachers work all year...treating them to a fun week of goodies is just one way we can show them some lovin'. This printable tag is available in four color options below.

New Pet Essentials Checklist

Today's post is sponsored by Bounty. I'm a member of the #QuickerPickerUpper team, but all opinions are mine alone. #NationalPuppyDay

Welcoming a new pet into your home sometime soon? 

This new puppy essentials checklist is perfect to get you organized and ready to welcome your new furry friend.

While our Chloe-girl is, indeed, not a new puppy...we've definitely been down that road of bringing four little paws into our home for the first time. Sometimes we get so excited about welcoming a new "little one" that we forget to prepare. I remember when I was in college and my roommate and I both got Golden Retriever puppies...we were so excited to get them home that we didn't get a thing for them. We had to make an emergency run to the store to grab whatever we could think of (my sweet Golden passed away a couple of years ago...but she's the one who taught me how to be a pet owner!). I thought the below Puppy Essentials Checklist would be perfect for all of you thinking of getting a new pet for your own home. 

Easy Cabinet Hardware Installation Trick

A big thank you to ATG Stores for bringing us today's post.

ATG Stores have provided hardware and more for our makeover.

All opinions are my own.

This easy cabinet hardware installation trick is invaluable when you're adding pretty new knobs to your kitchen. It makes the job easy and flawless, too. All you need is an empty food box and a pencil.

The new house is starting to feel like home, y'all. The room that has gotten the biggest makeover so far is the kitchen (I knew if I didn't get it done before we moved in, I might not ever get to it). We've been living in the new place for a couple weeks now, and we are really happy with the new kitchen space. Today, I'm sharing the niftiest trick to installing kitchen cabinet hardware. It simplifies it big time. Check it out below (AND, I'm telling you all about our vintage hardware, too!).

Inspiration Monday

Happy Sunday/Monday, y'all! We're just wrapping up a busy spring break. My in-laws were here for a few days and we had a great time...from the Magnolia Market in Waco to my MIL helping me set up my sewing machine for drapes! We jam-packed the week with fun.
Hoping you've had a good few days, too. Now it's time for INSPIRATION!

Free Blue Skies Spring Printable

This free Blue Skies spring printable is perfect as it officially turns into spring next week.
 This is one of my favorite songs ever...I really prefer the Willie Nelson version, myself.
 Such a great song and sentiment for the warmer months ahead...nothing but blue skies.

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright.

Never saw things goin' so right

Noticing the days hurrying by

When you're in love, my how they fly...

I seriously love this song, y'all. And of course...crooned by Willie is the best. 

Grab your 8x10 printable of this below.

Homemade Residue Remover

This post for residue remover contains affiliate links. I make a small portion when these links are used, at no additional cost to you.

This homemade residue remover is an all-natural, two-ingredient solution to removing sticky residue from hard surfaces. Label gunk is no longer a problem. This stuff really works. Say goodbye to sticker residue and harsh chemicals.

So here in our new house, we have the craziest thing on the front windows. While there are no window treatments of blinds on these windows, there is a ton of residue from what we assume was packing tape? It's kind of a mystery to us, still. See below how I removed the gunk (and funk) quickly and with only a two-ingredient homemade residue remover.

Inspiration Monday

Hey, hey, hey!! It's spring break for us here in central Texas. We've got plans of unpacking the house (it's never ending, y'all), a visit from grandparents, and a trip down the road to Waco to visit Magnolia Market. Super excited for a bit of a break. Hope you're having a great week wherever you are!! Can't wait to see what you've been up to.

Here at Inspiration Monday Party we love to feature our favorites through out the week.

Free Printable Watercolor Easter Card and 8x10 Print

This post for a Watercolor Easter Card contains affiliate links. I make a small percentage when these links are used, at no additional cost to you.

This is one of my favorite hymns we sing during the Easter season. I thought I'd make it into a Free Printable Watercolor Easter Card and 8x10 Print. I truly thought about adding in the ah-ah-ah-ah-ah before the Alleluia...because that's one of my favorite parts. 

My brother, Dale, always sends us an Easter card every year (or gives it to us in person if we have dinner together that day). He's always very thoughtful with cards. Naturally, I spend so much time on the sillier things (making sure everyone's Easter outfit is just right, making deviled eggs and ham, and putting the finishing touches on baskets) that I feel like such a heel when he hands me my card (and I don't reciprocate, blargh). Every. Year. So, I'm slightly thinking ahead this year. I created this card with him in mind...I know he'll appreciate it and treasure the meaning this time of the year. And hey, I still have time for the eggs, no?

Easy Easter Crafts

I have a great round up of Easy Easter Crafts for you today.
These are all from this week's Inspiration Monday party. Bunnies and eggs everywhere, y'all!

So, so sad that I'm not decorating for Easter this year. We moved into the new house three days ago...and are now in a mad dash to plant flowers, touch up paint, and get our other place on the market asap (two mortgages are no joke, y'all...GAH). So Easter decorating is definitely on the backest burner there is. We're still a complete mess. But, I'm living vicariously through all of my bloggy friends that linked up their Easter awesome at this week's party. Check them all out below.

Inspiration Monday

Welcome back to the party! It is MOVING WEEKEND here in Texas. We're working hard to get into the new place, y'all. It's coming together...YAY! When done, you're all invited over for supper. ;)

Chocolate Bunny Printable

This post for a bunny printable contains affiliate links. I make a small portion when these links are used, at no additional cost to you.

This Free Printable Watercolor Chocolate Bunny Printable is the perfect addition to your Easter decor. It's sunny and fun and brings a YUMMY smile to everyone's face. Because who doesn't love a good chocolate Easter bunny printable?

I think chocolate bunnies are my favorite part of an Easter basket...I go for the ears first (obviously). They're just such an iconic, must-have treat this time of the year (dare I say...I'd prefer them over Peeps?). Today, I'm sharing a calorie-free printable version. Because, I'm here to help, y'all. Download this Chocolate Bunny Printable (in several size options) below.

Chocolate Milk Bread

This Chocolate Milk Bread recipe is absolutely to die for! 

My family devoured it in one sitting. Be sure to make a loaf or two and enjoy with a tall glass of chocolate milk with it, of course! ;)

My kids love being in the kitchen with me...my youngest helped me with the recipe. I'll be honest, though, it was more of a taste-testing job on his part (he loves to take one for the team, y'all...ha)! This bread is a cross between a cake, a loaf bread, and a delicious chocolate chip cookie. The large amount of dark chocolate chips in the recipe create pockets of creamy chocolate throughout the entire bread. You have GOT to try this one...it freezes well, too (perfect to have on hand when company comes).
