Tweet! I am convinced, that we could probably solve many of the worlds problems with coffee filters.. I mean seriously – is there no end to what you can do with them? Here I am with yet another coffee filter project today – and I can’t believe how pretty it is! I saw a post [...]

Tweet! This is a project that I first did last year for my daughters. I made another one this week, and decided to repost the tutorial as I have a better camera now. I also am a better blogger in general.. and the truth is, I get embarrassed at my older posts! But – I [...]

Tweet!The room is so quiet you can hear the patter of the rain on the roof. Every eye is on me as I rise out of my chair and begin to speak. My knee’s are shaking, my palms are sweaty.. Can I really do this? I take a deep breath and determine to just get [...]

Tweet! Over the past year I have been watching all of the Subway Art being made by many bloggers, and wanted to do one myself. Because, after all, creativity is sometimes just recognizing a good idea and creating it yourself right? Although I feel as if I am usually the last one doing the new [...]

Tweet! Welcome! I am excited to share this tutorial with you today. Some of you may remember that I recieved several antique pieces of furniture from my Mom a couple of months ago. The Patina Of Time One of those items was a buffet that I put in our family room. Of course then I [...]

Tweet!I had a few day’s off last week and decided to do a Christmas brunch for the gals in my family. My ulterior purpose, of course, was to find an excuse to make Pioneer Woman’s Coffee Cake….. I hold her officially responsible for the fact that I am once again considering paying Weight Watchers every [...]

Tweet! In looking ahead to the New Year I am planning on trying to buy less and make do with/repurpose the things I have. (please disregard that statement when you read my What I Wore Wednesday posts….) So I discovered a new use for something, and it made me so happy I thought I would [...]

Tweet! Welcome to The Little Brown House Year in Review It was so much fun going back through my first year with this blog and choosing my top 10 projects. I have learned a lot about blogging in the past year, and also completed a lot of fun projects! I hope you enjoy looking through [...]

Tweet! Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, Christmas is coming soon! I decided to take some time this weekend and put together my Christmas Mantle. I made several of the things you will see on it, and plan on doing some tutorials later this week. I made these white Christmas tree’s with coffee filters – [...]

Tweet! Be sure you go all the way to the end of the post to see how I used these in my Christmas decorating! I saw some of these glass blocks at the salon when I was going in for my first ever professional massage.. Good thing I saw them coming in, because I basically left that [...]

Tweet! I have to say – I haven’t been very fond of blue for the past few years.. During the eighties I went through a blue and mauve stage. More like an obsession, really. And after about ten years of that, I began to abhor the color. In fact, I considered therapy at one point, [...]

Tweet!I love the phrase Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose. So when I finally decided to “fall” up my mantel, I decided I would just use things I already had on hand. This was a great idea that caused me much stress.. This was how my living room looked Thursday evening.. at about 5:05 as a matter of fact. [...]

Tweet! I love books – I mean I really love books. Whenever someone would ask that question, “would you rather be blind or deaf?” I always, first of all, asked if there was a third choice of neither. Then I would decide that I would have to choose deaf because of my love of reading. [...]

Tweet! I am fairly certain this has been the longest bathroom remodel in history. My history, anyway… We started last May on our bathroom remodel, and worked at it as time and money allowed. It was a long time coming, but I so love the end result! I will show some before/after shots, then just [...]
