Organizing, Crafting, and Decorating

February 19, 2014 by Aliesha

I don’t know why, but I’ve had a major urge to organize, declutter, purge, clean, decorate, and craft lately! I guess it’s an early spring cleaning bug!

I reorganized both bathroom closets/cabinets and threw away old stuff. Here is the master bathroom linen closet:

We got a headboard, finally, after years of not having one. That, plus the new Euro pillows, are making nursing in bed so much nicer!

I made this sign for the kitchen after being inspired by this one. I’m planning on turning my broom closet into a pantry and then hanging this sign above it.

I also took some pictures of my beautiful Cordelia, since she will be 2 on Sunday! Here’s a tiny sneak peek … but check back Sunday for more! I’ve also made a couple of fun things for Cordelia’s birthday party!

While we were outside, Tad took a couple shots of me. I got a new watch, which you can see in this picture.

In other news, we had a beautiful snow last week (third one this winter, which is crazy for our area)!

We also had a lovely Valentine’s Day dinner that Tad made for us!

I think that pretty much summarizes our last week or so!

Every Grain of Sand Wall Art

April 24, 2010 by Aliesha

I found a beautiful piece of driftwood (actually more like a weathered fence board) that was just begging me to paint something on it! I knew I wanted to put it somewhere in our beach bathroom, but I couldn’t come up with anything creative to paint on it. (“Life is a beach” didn’t seem quite what I was looking for.) Tad suggested I paint “every grain of sand” on it, from the song by the same title. Now, every time we look at the sign, we are reminded of these lyrics:

Then onward in my journey
I have come to understand
That every hair is numbered
like every grain of sand
…
I am hanging in the balance
of a perfect finished plan
Like every sparrow falling,
like every grain of sand.
{Bob Dylan / Derek Webb}

As an added bonus, this project was essentially free, since I used found wood and acrylic paint and a brush I already had.

I might leave the sign where it is, but I am also contemplating hanging it above one of the doors. We’ll see!

House Tour: Master Bathroom

Here are pictures of the latest room in our house tour: our master bathroom! We love how serene it feels with the cool colors, fluffy white towels, and beachy art. Many of the decorative items in the room were gifts or were collected on various trips, which makes them all the more special!
