(Note to self: Clean the floor under this side table more often.).

And with two cats and a dog, no one has been the least bit interested in scratching it, playing with it, or causing it any harm.. They’re just sticking to the bed as usual.. Hey, if they’re going to be all over the bed and the furniture, at least they look good doing it!.Thank you so much to Rugs USA for providing this very important part of the master bedroom re-do.

It really just would not have been able to come together quite as nicely without that rug!.If you’d like to get to know Rugs USA a little more as well, you can follow them on.Coming up soon (I hope!

): A new bedside table to replace the little white one and some fun projects in the corner where the bassinet will go once the new baby boy gets here!Oh my goodness, did Kennedy ever love making these!She was still talking about how fun these were to make a week after they were done, so I knew I had a winning craft on my hands.. OK, so they’re not really the cutest things ever, but they definitely won me some “fun mom points” and that counts for something.

I’m always on the lookout for fun, relatively easy crafts that we can make together, and if it involves recycled materials, all the better!.

Here’s how we made them:.You know how it is!I love my front door.. OK, it’s not really the front door, it’s more of a side door.

It leads from the mudroom into the kitchen.But it’s the door we use most, anyway..

I painted it red to cover up the weird green that was underneath.I’ve enjoyed it, but thought I would never be able to make it work after Christmas.. Wrong!.
