play creatively
My goodness it’s been a long time since I popped in over here. I’ve been pretty active over on Instagram but I guess I needed a bit of a break from the blog format for a bit. Just long enough for me to be missing it again. I’ve been working on so many projects such as my …
I’ve been obsessed with industrial laundry carts not only for their vintage appeal but for their utilitarian aspects as well. This we our Schoolhouse Electric laundry cart arrived and I’m smitten with it. The kids want to race up and down the hall with it but I’m just happy to have a designated place for them to …
About a year ago I found the most adorable vintage dress while thrifting in Colorado with my sister. I’ve been waiting for Miss M to fit it and now she finally does! So the other week we had lovely time playing hide and seek, drawing pictures and putting Free Babes adorable bows on Mr Bunny …
We unintentionally started a pony collecting fever when we made our DIY cardboard and duct tape stable awhile back. We started with three Breyers horses and have since added to the collection with various thrifted finds. Just recently we added a large pony to the mix and we’re all smitten with him.

It’s been snow for days here. And while it’s pretty and lovely it’s keeping us indoors more than I’d like so to make things more playful inside we brought out table tent from my book Playful: Fun Projects to Make With and For Kids. Miss M has been playing picnic with her dolls and Little …

Like this metal industrial cabinet painted the most amazing shade of yellow. It was definitely not the “hot” item at the thrift store as I got a lot of “crazy junk lady” looks when hauling …
We’re slowly getting back into gear with school. Are your kids in school yet? It’s been both exhausting, trying to get all our ducks in a row, and somewhat more peaceful trying to settle into a schedule with the boys gone for the day (No more little O coming home for lunch which I def. miss). Little Miss …
I’m back with more inspiring Playful French Industrial picks this week! Starting with this gorgeous George Morrison painting that I wish I could bid on. Gah! And how sweet is this little peanut from Paul + Paula? My daughter loves putting socks on and off so this reminds me of her a bit. Se looks like …
I’ve been working on catching up from our Disneyland trip (will share more on that soon! including what we recommend doing when you go with your family!). I thought I’d share a few scenes from the Banister House (our newly purchased historic home) such as this great one of Miss M dancing away on Easter …
