Hey there, friends! Are you sick of recipes, yet? Don’t worry, I am too. I’ve actually been trying to eat healthier / lighter / less, and all of this food isn’t helping. So I’m hoping to get back to posting about some projects and decorating. Plus, now that spring is here I need to do…
Normally, I would let Valentine’s Day go by unnoticed. It’s really not my favorite holiday. This year, however, I decided to push myself to get a little bit into the holiday spirit.

Hello, friends! Today I’m back with a fun little DIY. Right before the holidays I came across an image of felt ball coasters. You may have noticed that these little felt balls have been popping up all around craftland. I saw lots of them this past holiday season in garlands and ornaments. Wanting to get…
These Peanut Butter Cup Cookies are not only delicious but so simple to make. They will quickly become your new favorite! It’s hard to believe that Christmas is only days away. For some reason, this holiday season feels like it’s gone by particularly fast. Does it seem that way to you? Time to make some…

We’re in the double digits! Welcome to Day 10 of the Twelve Days of Christmas. I had a really fun and festive DIY project planned for today. Part of the project involves cutting 2x4s in a particular way. When I attempted it, I nearly shot a piece of wood through my face. Clearly that is…

Dear friends, we are halfway through the 12 Days of Christmas. We are certainly chugging right along. Since it’s almost the weekend, I thought you might enjoy a fun and easy cocktail.

Okay, I’m warning you. This post has way too many pictures of my Gradient Rainbow Christmas tree. Prepare yourself. Or, as Britney Spears would say, “Don’t hold it against me.” Anyway, I was finally able to decorate tree #2 yesterday. For those of you who were following IBC last year, it’s going to look pretty…
Okay, I think I have a problem. Creating my vintage-inspired tree has put me under a bit of a spell. For some reason, I feel compelled to buy every vintage beaded ornament that I can get my hands on. Someone stop me. This past week I was searching eBay and found a seller who listed…

Well, it’s November 8 and my Christmas tree is up. I know some folks dislike seeing anything remotely holiday-related so early in November, but my mind is in full -blown holiday mode at this point. So, welcome to an Inspired by Charm Holiday! As I mentioned when I showed you my Peace Wreath, I hope…
I’ve been so excited to share today’s post with you. I’ve been working on this project for a couple weeks now. Not that it took that long to do, but it did require a little planning. Before going any further, I must apologize because clearly the only creative thing my brain can come up with…

Today we are styling three Fall Table Centerpieces. I’m sharing my tips and tricks for styling a fabulous fall centerpiece no matter what your style.

For me, fall is the beginning of the holiday season. It’s the time of year when a house really becomes a home. People move inside and get a little closer. We tend to gather around the table just a bit more. Food really takes center stage and we all put on a few extra pounds to keep our…
Part of transforming my gift shoppe each season involves a new design on my ever-changing chalkboard wall. I painted this wall a little over four years ago, and since then, chalkboarding (if that’s even a word) has become an art form. The intricate and awe-inspiring creations people produce with chalk on walls simply blow my mind. With such…
