More often than not, we really enjoy making things that are practical and useful in some way when we’re done, but not always!

What’s better than a cute candle holder?

If you’re a parent, especially one that loves crafting with their kids, then we have absolutely no doubt that you already know all about slime.

When it comes to both making things and choosing gifts for our boyfriends, it can be a little bit of a challenge.

When it comes to the idea of overhauling our daughters’ rooms to get them a little more colour and personality, we feel nearly overwhelmed with how an awesome an opportunity this project is for our DIY skills.

When it comes to overhauling the rooms in our house, we’re always enthusiastic about adding and changing things in the decor scheme.

Don’t spend an arm and a leg on minimalistic accents.

Now that summer is in full swing, we can’t help thinking that our fire pit area could really use an upgrade.

Any time we move into a new place, one of our very favourite parts of settling in is decorating.

Coming home shouldn’t cause more stress or anxiety.

In our house, we often think of whether or not we can actually make something we need by hand ourselves before we remind each other that we could, in theory, just go and buy that thing at the store.

A lot of people thrive throughout the summer months.

When your kids aren’t inside crafting, can they absolutely be found outside soaking up the summer sun (wearing SPF sun screen, of course)?

In our house, there is one member of the family that really rules the roost (and everyone else’s hearts): the cat!

When it comes to playing in the backyard during long summer days, our kids aren’t the only ones in the household who take part!

Do you have a place near the lake or a cozy cottage in the mountains?

For fans of homemade essentails, we have a treat for you today.

When it comes to overhauling your staircase, there are actually way more techniques and options that we think many people realize.

When it comes to decorating our front porch, which is something we’ve felt unexpectedly passionately about since we became new homeowners, there’s nothing we like the look of there quite as much as a nice, unique flower planter.

There are just never too many projects to peek at when it comes to organization, especially for closet spaces.

Add a bit of vivaciousness and worldly appeal to your home by digging into some bohemian roots and across-the-seas style.

For those lucky enough to have a sunroom to enjoy, there are a lot of unique ways you can personalize the space.

In the bathroom for the kiddos to reach the sick.

Fill your home with clean aromas – but do so in a way that includes all natural elements.

Your hallways don’t have to be bare and nixed of personalization.

When the warmer-weathered months roll in, there are plenty of us that begin to dream of a beachside vacation.

One our way to work recently, we found a tear in the simple plastic bag we usually throw our packed lunch into and realized that some of our snacks had fallen out!

Add some extra spice to your entryway this summer.

Just like we occasionally enjoy using our kitchen based DIY skills to treat ourselves, we also adore doing so for our furry friends!

Every year when spring begins to shine, we start getting the urge to redo our space and add some kind of colour change or new decor element.

When it comes to making new DIY projects for our home, we enjoy making decorative things and practical things.

Preparing for your trendy, shabby chic wedding can be stressful, but it can be a whole lot of fun too.

Now that spring has arrived, we’re finding ourselves wanting to pick up new hobbies and try our hand at new skills.

We’re not entirely sure what it is, but there’s something about spring that always puts us in the upcycling mood.

Have you ever been slightly obsessed with something a little unexpected that people might not guess, but that’s a whole of fun for both you and them?

Are you the kind of DIY enthusiast who loves adding a crafty element to just about anything you do and you find that it makes you a really stellar party host?

From winter wind to summertime bohemian spirit, we’ve got some accessories that can be made by your own two hands.

Whether you DIY your own or grab a bunch from a local store, either way, candles are an inexpensive and versatile way to add personality to your personal spaces.

In our family and circle of friends, this time of year is absolutely wedding season.

Summer has finally arrived where we live and we couldn’t be happier!

Even though we are lifelong crafters who have spent many years perfecting and practicing several different more specialized DIY techniques, like knitting and sewing, we still think it’s sometimes nice to go back to our crafting roots and make something simple from a random household object.

Your June, July, or even August getaways are booked and that means the preparation for the trip will creep up on your before you know it.

There’s something really magical about these glistening bits.

Gorgeous colors and vivacious prints, there’s something about this part of the world that induces smiles and puts a happier pep into our step.

Now that the weather is finally warm and our gardens have started to bloom, we’re spending more and more time outside.

There’s something about the warmer-weathered months – and vacation on the horizon – that makes us want our digits dressed to perfection.

If you’re anything like us and you like to keep an eye on different trends in home decor and DIY, then you probably know all about how popular succulent plants have been lately!

Put your skills to the test and start whipping up some presents for the ones you love most.

Grab some rocks from the backyard and turn them into an afternoon of creativity with the kids.

Want to add something new and unique to your wardrobe?

It’s where we spend most of our time at home and where everyone we love gets to gather and enjoy each other’s company.

As avid crafters and kitchen enthusiast, nothing pleases us more then finding a DIY project that we can make ourselves and them use later on in the kitchen when we’ve made something delicious.

In our house, each member of the family has an iPad for either work or school.

Despite the fact that you’ve undoubtedly spent years practicing and refining several more specialized DIY skills just like we have, do you ever get the urge to just craft something neat using a random object from around your house as a tool or supply?

Throughout the warmer-weathered months, our outdoor kitchens become the spot to entertain and enjoy with our friends, families, and neighbors.

Instead of throwing some pots on the front porch, why not get creative with your landscaping and petals this year?

When we were young, the fireplace and its mantel were a central spot for many important goings on in our household.

When it comes to making our own furniture pieces, we’ll admit that there are certain kinds of furnishings that we totally play favourites with.

Now that spring is here, the time to plant tomatoes that will be nice and ripe all summer has finally arrived!

Every once in a while, when we’re doing something totally normal and uninteresting at home, a stroke of inspiration hits us and we realized there’s a crafty, interesting way to do that same thing using our DIY skills to make life a little quicker or easier!
