The summer is slowly coming to an end and I’m so excited for fall. It’s so hard to keep working on things around the house when I’d much rather be in full – craft mode with new Autumn and Halloween projects. Oh well, priorities, right? If I don’t finish and get the downstairs put back …
A few weeks ago I was invited, by Brenda with Cozy Little House, to participate in her 2015 Blogger Fall Home Tour! I’ve been super excited about joining in since this is my first home tour but also because this is a pretty amazing group of bloggers. If you’ve been following along, then you’ve seen …
Do you ever find yourself cruising through Pinterest projects thinking “hmmm, something like this would work great in my house”? Then, later, you find the perfect detail to kick off your own project. In this case it was a set of discarded shutters at my local ReStore. Most of the jewelry holders I’ve seen around …
Finally! I’ve picked up my pens and paints and started doing some sketching again. I’m working on lots of different things to share over the next few months. To start with I’ve put together a printable grocery list. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now. I love the longer narrow ones you …
So excited to share a new project today. We’ve been working in the yard for weeks now on different projects and in the process G and I found the perfect tree for a rope swing! I’ve been making these for years and donating them to school fairs, etc. Now we finally have one in our …
Thank you for visiting me at Fresh Ideas! I’m really excited to finally begin my blogging adventure to introduce you to my ever-growing collection of paper designs!

I’ve been so excited about this project but waited until the kitchen was finished to put it together. I spent a while looking for the perfect bottle shape and fell in love with the vintage-y look of this tequila bottle. I used the pump from an empty soap bottle (but you can purchase new ones …
Last summer I was poking around my local Re-Store and found a fantastic pile of used windows for $5 each! (If you are looking for used building materials, etc. try your local Re-Store, they are a great resource.) I really didn’t know what I would do with them but I grabbed 3 since I knew …
A while back I created a set of sturdy and cute little shopping bags to take help reduce the number of plastic bags in our house. It was a bit of an adventure but they did turn out quite nicely, if I may say so myself. (see previous post here) However, I was afraid that …
This may seem like an odd project but I really love the feel of nature inside the house. I’ve been seeing a lot of the mounted butterflies, dragonflies, and other colorful beauties and, aside from the creepy factor, I really like them! I started really looking into them and found that the nicer ones can …
