Happy New Year! Over the past few years, I have always been so eager to get to the next year. After all that has happened in 2020, you’d think I’d be ready to do that again. But while 2020 has had plenty of disappointments and challenges, I want to reflect on the good things that happened. We were blessed with more togetherness than ever before. We learned how to live, work, and play within our own homes. Yes, vacations were cancelled, shopping trips became packages left on our doorsteps, and outings were not without face masks and hand sanitizer. But if you try, I am sure you can find highlights from the year and moments to be grateful for.

And now I have a pretty lacquer box DIY sitting on our nautical shelves in our guest bedroom.
DIY Texture Art
First, how is it September already? Second, thank goodness we’re this far into the year. And third, it took all summer but I finally have art that doesn’t say “Let it snow.” I made this super easy DIY texture art last weekend and it’s exactly what I need when it’s not appropriate to snow.
DIY Nautical Shelves
Do you ever have those ideas that sound weird? I told my husband I wanted to put wall shelves up in our guest bedroom and hot glue rope to the brackets. He’s used to me having weird ideas so I didn’t have to push much. But with weird ideas, sometimes they fail. This, however, is my new favorite. It was so easy to make these DIY nautical shelves and they make such an impact in the room!
