Create Awesome-Ideas for Everyday
I’m really into Maps right now and wanted some cool art for my teenager’s bedroom. Plus I’m cheap and a paper map is about $5. I got the actual map at Target in the dorm section. Then I took a piece of really thin plywood that was $12 for a big sheet and cut it [...]
I saw this awesome wall art over at I Am Momma-Hear Me Roar. Cheri even has the file for sale in her etsy shop for just a few dollars. I sent the file to Office Depot online and ordered it as an engineer blueprint. When you do that it’s only $3 to print the huge sign! [...]
If you are a great seamstress than look away! This tutorial is not for you. This is for all my girlfriends that are always complaining that they can’t sew curtains or fix the curtains they have for different houses. Most people buy curtains once but if you are in a military family you get to [...]
My 10 year old is totally obsessed with skateboards and has requested a whole skateboard themed bedroom. But not a perfect one! He told me hates how I paint everything until it’s perfect. Uh okay? So there will be no painting of all his authentically thrashed up stuff! Skateboard shelves seemed like a good place to start. [...]

I needed a cute lamp for my entryway table. I found this super shiny brass one at the thrift store for $4. It had a hideous plastic shade too so I donated the shade back to the store before leaving. I primed it with a coat of primer and then followed it up with 3 [...]
The mantle that my husband built a few months ago was looking a little lonely since I took down the easter decorations so I spent a few minutes this morning giving it a little spruce up. I had a whole bag of seashells in the garage from when we lived in Okinawa, Japan. I also found some rope [...]
My stairway gallery wall is finished! My stairway that was previously really boring is now inspirational and happy. I just typed up all my favorite sayings on the computer and printed them on cream cardstock. A view from below so you can get an idea of the space. I wish we had one of those [...]
So excited to have another spot to hold my favorite pictures. I think my family is excited to have the strangers that have been in our frames for MONTHS gone too. These are the ten dollar ledge shelves from Ana White that we built in January. It’s such an easy plan and great starter project. Love how it [...]
This week is picture week here at BeingBrook! I started on Friday with a big pile of frames on the garage shelf and so far we’ve hung up FIFTY-ONE and the shelf is down to just three lonely frames. So excited to show you where I hung them all. We are starting with the living [...]
