fall 2020 decor

Here, in Arizona, we like to joke about having only two seasons: Hot and Hotter! The last couple of months of “Hotter” were particularly brutal. So, you’ll have to excuse me for putting up my Fall 2020 Decor early. With things so off-kilter this year, the moment the temperature dipped below 100º, I guess I got excited. That said, I may have gotten a little carried away with all the pumpkins… especially those I painted masks on! But I figured you can still draw inspiration from it all, and I’m even including a fun Time-Lapse video that’ll show you how to paint pumpkins. Continue Reading →

I’m usually pretty good about starting and finishing projects in a timely manner.

Music Room Makeover

Paint Fragrance Additives

Ever wonder if those Paint Fragrance Additives you see at the hardware store actually work? Do they really mask the smell of paint fumes and make your home smell like clean linen, lavender or french vanilla? I decided to give them a try. I’ll tell you if they live up to the hype and if they’re worth mixing into the next can of paint you open, in this video tutorial.

Castle Mural

By Marcy on June 8, 2016 in Children’s Rooms, In the Home, Video Tutorials

I feel like the queen of the Castle Mural. If there’s one thing I’ve painted more than anything else through the years, it would have to be castles. I’m not at all complaining, either. I happen to love them. Real or not, castles are magical. They inspire the imagination. So, naturally, castle murals are a popular choice when it comes to decorating children’s rooms. Recently I was asked to paint a Castle Mural in a baby nursery, and I thought it was the perfect project to record on video. Continue Reading →

Vintage Trunk Turned Treasure

By Marcy on January 31, 2016 in Furniture, Projects, Video Tutorials

This Vintage Trunk Turned Treasure is the ultimate in repurposing. As do so many of my projects, it began with a trip to the thrift store…and this time, it ends with a one-of-a-kind coffee table. Best of all, other thrift store finds were used to complete the project! Legs were taken off a used night stand, and a leather belt was cut up and used to repair the worn out handles. Check out my latest video tutorial, “Vintage Trunk Turned Treasure,” and get inspired to take on a DIY repurposing project of your own. Then check out my Living Room Makeover, and see how I saved money there.
