Love this Riveted Sheet Metal Magnet Board from Crafty Nest! Must make one for above my desk…as soon as I have a desk, of course. This Simple Copper Candelabra from Katie Brown Home Workshop is made with things from the hardware store. Love it! My kids would go bananas for a Giant Jenga Tower. Get [...]

Whenever I post pictures of my family room, I get questions about my sofa. And since I just splurged on a major update to it, I thought I’d give you all the details. I am a firm believer in buying a high-quality, classic sofa whenever possible. Mostly because I’ve made several mistakes in that area [...]

Summer has been zipping right along here at Casa Kimba. I can hardly believe it’s the end of July! Didn’t summer seem to last forever when you were a kid? We’ve been steadily crossing things off our 2011 Summer List. There’s been plenty of painting, gardening, reading, swimming and our gigantic 4th of July party. [...]

I’ve been neck-deep in kid’s crafty stuff since I was helping in our VBS craft tent all last week. And summertime is always crafty-time around here. Since I have kid’s crafts on [...]

I love projects that are quick, easy and have a big impact. This one hits all three and it got me a “MOM! That’s cool!” from my son. I seriously want to cover an entire room with cork right now. It gives my little collector a place to display all of those very-important-for-the-moment treasures. Between [...]

Several months ago, I shared the Kid’s Artwork Gallery Wall that I put together in my hallway. Over the summer, we’ve created lots of new masterpieces, so I’ve been changing out the artwork pretty regularly.

As I was digging through a packed closet in search of my gardening tools this weekend, I found myself wishing we had more space. The closet was cluttered and jammed full of things that probably didn’t belong there. A box of unattached power cords, cleaning supplies and bubble wands were sharing space with the Dustbuster, [...]
