a homemade home

I love how creating our home "ours" is always revolving.
My biggest advice for you on your space-- If you love it then buy it! Create it. Make it.
My home is eclectic and I love that it represents my family.
I love color.
I love homemade items.
Here are a few favs:



Our nanny, Noelle had the idea to make the corn for November with Zion. Zion painted the kernels. Presh.





Clipboards that change out art in the kitchen. The bottom one, is my annual card that Andy makes me for our Anniv.



Zion is is a phase of hanging her art everywhere with washi tape.



Chalkboards.



Zakiyah being too cute!



Who says you can't write on walls?



Andy's growth chart that he built!



My dad makes fabulous wood carvings.



Kid art!



Paintings.



Our ART LINE in the dining room at kid level. I love watching my girls show off their masterpieces to friends and family.

My talented friend, Kelly made this of Kiyah. She is resting in the bundle of God's love!

I love hoop art.

Art in Kiyah's room. I stretched a t shirt on wood for art. simple! 

Do you have any favs in your home? Any ideas for me?

That is only a few items! But, this is what makes this our home. Our space. Our refuge. Our comfort.

Happy Tuesday!

Church Organ Bench!!!!!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!!!!! One of my favorite things that my Hus can do is build and create! He has been working on this beauty for my Birthday (August) for our dining room! I am in love! Our church had a broken organ, that my hus was in charge of disposing! So, obviously we are using the glorious parts! He made the dollhouse for the girls with it too! 


Ever since moving into our home, we wanted a bench at the front window in our dining room! I love how this looks so custom and looks timeless. The cherry wood is so pretty. I love the   of the pedals in the center. My Hus filled in holes this weekend with cherry wood filler. We (Hus) still has to sand it and use a sealer to make it look perfect! I am going to sew cushions on the sides and shop for some pillows! 


I mean------ Gorgeous!



Best gifts are homemade. Farm table and bench…….I am overflowing! My love language- is gifts…… Thanks Hus!









I will keep you posted on the process of finishing up this beauty! What do you think? Do you like?
