My Party Essentials

I’ve thrown a lot of parties over the years, so I’ve got all the essentials. Here are some of my favorite items for parties.

Cake Stands- I personally like white cake stands since they match any holiday, but these come in so many cute colors! The pink and mint green ones are calling my name.

Sequin Tablecloths- I have these in rose gold and silver, and I can’t tell you how many times they have elevated my event. They wash pretty well, although lots of sequins end up in the wash. But, they still look great after 8 years.

Sequin Runners- These are perfect for placing on party tables, on a craft table, or even on a console. I’ve also draped them on my fireplace! I also recently used a cheesecloth runner for Thanksgiving, which looked so nice.

Serving Platters- While my husband is the chef of the family, I can recommend a nice set of white porcelain serving platters. I love having different sizes but within a single set so that they can stack in my cabinets and drawers.

Balloon Stands- These are perfect for balloon decor and centerpieces without the helium.

Balloon Inflator- I borrowed this from a friend and it saved me! In the past I have used a handheld pump as well as a mattress inflator, neither of which I recommend when this is an option!

Baskets- I use these for all kinds of things, including holding favors, corralling cards, and displaying some party decor.

Garlands- I personally love a fringe tassel garland! These are so easy to make and can be used over and over.

Sequin Backdrops- These are great for placing behind a party table to make it fancier. I also love a nice tablecloth fringe garland, which can be super colorful!

Backdrop Stand- I use this style for my photography backdrops, but it works perfectly for parties. You can also go with a gold arch style, which would be pretty with a cover.

Painting Supplies- I often do an activity at my parties, and I love using these white aprons for kids along with a simple painting set and acrylic paints. Helpful hint- if you wipe off the extra paint with a napkin, it makes it way easier to wash the palettes!

Paper Fans- I also use these over and over again! I use a paperclip to hold them together, then fold them up after the party so it’s ready for the next use.

Cake Topper- I have a Happy Birthday cake topper that I use for all my parties. It’s economical and eco-friendly. A win-win!

Storage Boxes- I store all these supplies in clear plastic bins or clear bags. I can see what I need, and my supplies stay safe from the elements.

Disco Ball- No party is complete without a disco ball. I have mine permanently hanging in my living room. I just love disco balls!

Cricut- Cricuts are perfect for personalizing elements. I’ve used them to create banners with felt and glitter paper; Cut iron-ons for favor bags; Cut vinyl for making signs; Cutting glitter paper for cake toppers; and soooo much more. The smallest one, The Joy, is great for vinyl, making cards, and stores away easily.

Circle Cutters- I just got one of these, but I’m so excited to use them when cutting my circle cupcake toppers from my shop!

Beginner Photography Essentials

Photography is one of the best ways to capture and preserve moments. As a photographer myself, I know that a few of the right tools can make all the difference. These are some of my favorite basics that will help take your party photos to the next level.

A Great Camera- You can definitely use your phone for your pictures, but I would highly recommend getting a camera if you’ve been on the fence! I personally have the older version of this Canon EOS Rebel (mine is the T6) but this newer one has such great features! Touchscreen is a newer feature, which is great for selecting your focus!

Lightroom/Photoshop - these are my go-to apps for photo editing! You can do so much with these apps for only $10/month. If you want a more budget friendly option, try the Lightroom phone app! It has tons of free features.

Lightroom Presets- These party presets from my shop are perfect for editing all kinds of indoor photos.

Tripod-  If you want to take your own photos, I would highly recommend this tripod! You can tilt the head so that you can take landscapes or portraits. It's light, compact and folds up small. It's perfect for taking on the go and storing in a closet when it's not in use. This is the exact one I use for my photos!

Phone Tripod Mount- If you want to attach your phone on the tripod, you'll need a special adapter. I use this one, which does the trick! You just swap out the head it comes with and then expand it for your phone. The great part is that it's adjustable, so you can use anyone's phone. I'd recommend checking the measurements if you have a newer iPhone though. Those things just keep getting bigger and bigger.

Mini Tripod- If you want a tiny tripod for a tabletop or even easier portability, try this one! I haven't used this one personally, but it had great reviews on Amazon. I'm considering getting one myself. If you want something more affordable, try this one instead.

Box Light for Flash- These are a bit of an investment, but I honestly can't recommend them enough! I use them for practically all my blog photos and occasionally whip them out when the lighting isn't ideal for portraits. Another option is these umbrella lights, which aren't quite as bright. Both of them fold up super tiny and can take up just a corner of a closet! It's actually pretty remarkable how mighty yet tiny they are. Just a note that these won't make a dark room bright, but they will assist in compensating when the room just isn't bright enough for a good picture.

Screen Wipes- If your phone photos are not great, I have news for you- CLEAN YOUR CAMERA LENS! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been handed someone’s phone to take a photo and the very first thing I notice is the blur of an oily fingerprint on the lens. These wipes are lint free, and I love using them for my camera and phone.

SD Card to Phone Adapter- If you’re using a camera for better pics but want to post to your phone immediately, invest in a simple adapter. There’s lots of options for both iPhone and Android. Using them is simple- plug them into your phone, pop in your SD card, and view/save your images to your device. Easy peasy, and great for on the go!

Selfie Light- Many party venues are poorly lit, and a lot of parties happen at night. By using a selfie light, you’ll get better photos without having to use your on-camera flash. This one attaches to both a phone and a camera. You can also adjust the warmth of the light, which is helpful for achieving the perfect white balance (color) for your images. If your images look yellow, use a bluer tint to counteract it, and vice versa. I’ve never used this one personally, but it seems like a perfect device for a beginner photographer.

Instax Camera- Make sure you have lots of film on hand. You can also invest in a variety of cute cases, but I think this one would be perfect.

ORC Fall 21 REVEAL- Attic Playroom & Movie Theater

It’s here - reveal day! Well, technically, reveal day was on Thursday. I got an email from One Room Challenge that if we needed a few more days to finish up that we should use them, and it came at just the right time. I definitely needed a couple of extra days, and I really think it made all the difference! This room has been a labor of love. 

*All sources are listed at the bottom. If anything is missing, let me know and I’ll add it! This post contains affiliate links.

As you may remember, this room was previously my office space. It never quite felt right, so when I thought about how to fix up the house it just made sense for this room to become a family space instead of being just for me. I was always trying to get people to hang out up there with me, so I guess that was sort of a sign that I wanted to create a space that the whole family could enjoy. 

I think the biggest change for this room is the new floors! I have been (impatiently) waiting to replace this floor since we purchased the house five or six years ago. I was giddy on Halloween as we ripped up the old carpet. We replaced the carpet with this Beaumont Eco Resilient Flooring. So far, it’s been holding up great to our various kids and pets. Did I mention that for some reason Hailey decided to pee on it one day? Yea… she did. It cleaned up perfectly! I think these floors are my favorite design element of my whole house, hah! This was the first real renovations we did on this house (and any house I’ve ever lived in!) so it was really exciting to make the decision and see my vision come to life. My husband installed the floors himself (with a little bit of help from me- I’m mostly the designer in this duo) and it took him 3 tries to get it right! It’s beyond perfect though. I love these floors.

Let’s talk about this amazing sofa that I got from Bob’s Furniture. I wanted to replace the old grey futon that we had for our makeshift den, which honestly reminded me of the seat of a car. First, we were thinking a sleeper so that it would be a good guest space. Then, since it’s a movie theater room, I thought it would be great to have recliners. I wanted somewhere that we can get comfy and watch a movie and truly relax. Finally, we landed on these two loveseat sleepers (a left and right side) which means that we have a large sleeper bed for when guests come over, as well as four chaise lounges! Although the shape of the sofa is pretty traditional (I was going for something a little more Art Deco up here) the sofa really is perfect for the space. I love that the chaise goes back in and folds down, which means that the sofa takes up less space when we’re not using the foot rests. It’s perfect that we get to host guests up here too. This sofa is the Playroom model in blue (perfect name!), and the configuration was recommended by the sales rep. It was available to be delivered super fast- we took some time because we were getting the floors done, but I think it could’ve been here within a week!

Now let’s talk rugs. Picking out rugs caused me so much stress. I wanted a washable rug that was large, affordable, and matched my style. I was pretty much set on this Target Opalhouse outdoor rug from the start, but it didn’t seem like it would hold up well to two kids, two cats, and a dog. I decided to put it up here anyway and I loved the way it looked. I kind of threw logic out the window, and within a few days a cat had already scratched it and ruined a large part of it. So, this rug will probably be going outdoors where it belongs and I’ll find a new rug for the space. 

As for the playroom rug, I ended up using the yellow rug from the original playroom downstairs and placed a smaller rug on top that my sister had given to me. I love the layered look since it ties in all the main colors of the room, even though the combo of leopard print and boho is atypical. I also keep a play mat for Travis handy, since he loves tummy time and I want to make sure he’s on something fairly clean. These rugs get furry with all out pets and he’s been known to grab tufts of lint/fur from the floor and put it in his mouth. Kids, amiright?

Most of the artwork in here was things I already had. I tend to buy things I like without really knowing where they will go, so I have a stash of items that I love that are homeless… within my home. Hah! Most of this artwork came from the playroom downstairs (like all the animal prints) and then I added a vintage Carters ad that I had gotten from the thrift store. I LOVED it and intended to put it in the kids shared room, but it didn’t quite have a spot. I passed by it when grabbing things and realized it would be perfect up here, appropriately next to the baby care center.

The large Yes You Can! sign is from Home Goods. I had gotten it for my craft space up here to cover the AC unit. I’m so glad that it works so perfectly for the playroom too! I attached it with 3M velcro strips for now, but I plan to put it on more permanently with the cable hidden. I hate the eyesores of the house (like old AC units- ugh) and my goal is to try and hide them or disguise them.

The original playroom downstairs was always a mess of toys, so I decided that this one would have limited toys and a toy rotation. I have a few bins in this Ikea cube unit and picked out a few toys and sorted them by color. While I love how clean this looks, I’ll probably be more practical in the future and display toys with their relevant parts and pieces instead of by color. I’ve also got 2 baskets of toys for Travis. I didn’t know what to place on top of the cube units, so I took a cue from the library and placed some upright books. This allows Hailey to grab books on her own, while ensuring that the top of the cube unit doesn’t become a dump zone. Next to all of this, we’ve got her tent & reading nook filled with cute pillows.

And Hailey’s favorite toy- her play kitchen! This was another FB marketplace find for only $15 and it was practically brand new! I gave it a makeover with white and pink chalk paint, plus some gold spray paint. I also plan to add some cane accents and a backsplash but that’s a project for another day!

I knew I wanted to have an art table up here, since Hailey and I love to do crafts together. I wanted this pottery barn table but I felt hesitant spending so much on a kids’ table that would probably get destroyed. So, I went to FB Marketplace and found both tables that I wanted (in brown) for only $40! Can you believe it?! One can of Sherwin Williams Pro Classic in Creamy and I was able to give these a new look (plus my tv stand) with plenty to spare for future projects. I hung Hailey’s painting that we made together above the table. I loved the way she placed down her paintbrush when she finished, so I made it part of the artwork permanently. The “tray” is one of my paintings, while the zebra tray is a DIY that I did way back. These bow chairs were the perfect addition. I literally could not put them into the cart fast enough at Home Goods! They ended up being a little too tall, so my husband cut them down to size and they’re perfect now. The don’t even wobble. I don’t know how he does it.

I’ve always loved the idea of a home theater, but I definitely don’t love the colors they usually have. Black and red? No thanks! So I decided on this pastel Art Deco theme. There are a few elements that I didn’t quite get to finish in time for the reveal, but I am so excited with how it came out so far! 

Now, let’s talk stars! One difficult design element up here is the sloped ceilings. I never knew what to do with them because they always looked so bare. I knew I wanted to do a half painted wall up here (though I did want to do a scallop shape too!) so I needed something for the upper part of the wall. When I saw the post that Laura made for A Beautiful Mess, a lightbulb went off. It was perfect! I spent entirely too long trying to find a shape that was similar and colors that matched, then had to figure out the sizing and cut it on my Cricut. But the end result is amazing and one of my favorite parts up here. The best part is that it cost less than $50 and I still have plenty of vinyl left over!

I handpainted the accent wall using Frog Tape and a sample of paint I had left over from the kids’ room mural (more on that soon!) The yellow stripes are varying widths while the white ones are all the width of the tape, which helps it to look whimsical but consistent. I also wanted it to be imperfect so I only did one coat and eyeballed the lines to try and get them straight. In the end I think it looks perfectly vintage! I added these amazing movie-themed sign language flash cards that I framed with a mat. We have a deaf family member so as soon as I saw them, I knew they were meant to be in this space. The play sign is a “play” on words (no pun intended- seriously) since this is a PLAYroom but you also PLAY a movie. Pretty clever, eh? The arrows I’ve had for a long time- I think they were from Target for Valentine’s Day. I’m glad they now have a permanent spot!

The tv unit was purchased in our apartment probably 8 years ago. It came with us to the house and sat in our den for a while, then kinda ended up homeless, then came up to my attic craft room. It was black so I ended up adding wallpaper to the drawers, then sanded it down to wood, then we painted it white. I had my husband add the half-rounds to the drawer fronts which then got a fresh coat of Creamy by Sherwin Williams to match the rest of the unit. The pulls look so modern and minimal which allows the half rounds to take center stage. I gave the tv a makeover using Tasha’s tutorial and mine definitely did not come out as well as hers did. Rub n Buff is harder to work with than I thought! I added artwork as a screensaver and now the tv is a Frame TV’s ugly cousin. 

I knew I wanted a mini fridge up here for snacks and drinks, so I got this gorgeous retro-inspired one! It also comes in blue which would have been more fun, but I thought this cream one would work better for the space. I had to get some seltzers- rainbow colored La Croix, of course! A popcorn maker, gumball machine containers, and cute bowls add the finishing touches.

The lesson I learned in all of this is that we think that people’s rooms are “done “after doing a challenge like this, or any kind of renovations. The truth is that all spaces are a work in progress. There are many things that I love about the space, and a few things that I probably will still tweak as time goes on and we use the space in a new way and adapt. I think that was my favorite lesson of all. I tend to be such a perfectionist and spend so much time looking for just the right thing, and the truth is that sometimes the right thing comes along when you least expect it. So, I love that I have a little bit of room to play with what’s up here and to switch around some of the items that don’t work out for us in the end.

That concludes the tour! Be sure to follow me on instagram while I share more DIY projects for this space and more budget-friendly home renos and reveals!

One Room Challenge- Week 1 Attic Playroom/Movie Lounge

I’m so excited to announce that I will be a guest participant in the Fall 2021 One Room Challenge, hosted by Better Homes & Gardens! I’ve always wanted to join, but I never knew what room to make over and didn’t quite have a budget that felt worthy of a whole room makeover. I think I was just nervous and scared. However, when I realized that the timing of my attic play room remodel would be at the same time as the One Room Challenge, I decided it was fate to join this time!

A little backstory- in 2020, just before the pandemic hit, I decided to create a play room for my daughter on the main floor of our home. The whole floor is open concept, and the playroom ended up by the door because that’s where the nicest window light was plus we could easily block it off so that the toys stayed contained. I planned out where things would go and set everything up. I’ll share more about that previous version in a full blog post, because I loved the way the design came out.

For a little while, everything was great. As Hailey got older though, she could reach more of the stuff on the higher shelves, and of course another Christmas and birthday came along. Suddenly, it seemed like toys  were always on the floor of the playroom, with a trail leading to the living room where you could find even more toys.

No matter what I seem to do, the mess is never-ending. I seriously contemplated moving because I didn’t see how our house would ever function. While Hailey’s playroom was being torn apart, my craft room was constantly hit by Hurricane Hailey. There’s no door to the attic, and also sloped ceilings. There really wasn’t any way to keep things out of her reach, and it got frustrating that in addition to my mess I had to constantly clean up her mess. 

I was thinking about how my house looks almost exactly the same as it did when we first moved in, aside from paint colors. I felt frustrated that 5 or 6 years had passed and yet nothing had been majorly changed. I thought to myself, if the house had been empty when I saw it, what would I have thought to do? I had the bright idea to put both kids in a shared room, create a big play room/family room in the attic, and move my craft room into one of the kids bedrooms. I also planned out a reorganization of the first floor living space, which never seemed to work. 

The kids rooms and my craft room are 90% done (more on those later) but I’m shifting my focus to the playroom!

Isn’t the mood board for the space dreamy?! Since this is the first space that’s truly getting a renovation (new floors! Paint! Adding doors! New furniture!) I wasn’t sure where to start. I was thinking about everyone else and I realized, you know what? It’s my home too and since I’m the one with the eye for design and the one spending most if my time there, it might as well be something I love that can inspire others! The result was a colorfully boho, vintage movie theater vibe. I’m planning to keep about 75% of Hailey’s toys in the closet and only bring out a weekly rotation of toys. I can’t handle the constant mess! Her play kitchen, baby dolls and doctor toys will probably be out all the time since she plays with those every day. But the rest will be swapped out so that she can have fun and hopefully keep it clean by herself. Travis doesn’t have many toys now but I’m sure once he does, it’ll be mayhem. This toy rotation will help with that issue. 

I’m still working out some final design details so who knows- maybe things will change. But I’m SO excited for this new room, and I’m hoping it’ll have a totally new vibe when it’s all said and done!

What’s your favorite element of the space? I think mine is the dreamy rug and the yellow stripe wall I added at the last second!

DIY Neon Popsicle Earrings

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine.

As you probably know, I’ve been having a LOT of fun making faux leather earrings lately! I’ve been using my new Cricut Maker and holy cow, it’s a game changer! My Explore Air was cool and all, but the Maker can keep up with anything I throw at it. Cutting felt? Yep! Fabric! Thin balsa wood! Chipboard! It feels like the possibilities are endless. 

To share my newfound love, I decided to show you guys a fun DIY project using faux leather, and also answer your questions about cutting faux leather with the Cricut Maker! If you’ve never cut faux leather before, head down to the FAQ before beginning this project! It’s full of helpful tips so that you can get started on the right foot. I love faux leather earrings because they weigh practically nothing- perfect for making an impact without saggy ear lobes!

*This post contains affiliate links.

You will need:

Cricut Maker
Faux Leather- Beige
Strong Grip Mat & Standard Grip Mat (or Variety Pack here)
Iron-on Vinyl- Neutrals Sampler and Neon Glow Sticks Sampler
Cricut EasyPress Mini
EasyPress Mat
Basic Tool Set
Brayer or Applicator and Remover Set
Washable Fabric Pen (optional)
Self-Healing Mat
True Control Knife
18” Cutting Ruler
High Temp Tape and Teflon Sheet
Earring Kit

Directions:

1. Gather your supplies, then open up the project in Cricut Design Space.

2. Press the “Make It” button and see what size you’ll need for your materials. I like to cut the pieces before running it through the machine to save some time. I use my cutting mat, ruler, and True Control Knife. This thing is amazing- it cut through 3 layers of vinyl at the same time!

3. First up, cut your faux leather using the Strong Grip Mat. Be sure to place your leather face-down (aka, leather down and fabric backing up). Smooth it down with your brayer to ensure it’s pressed down securely. 

4. Load your mat into your Cricut Maker. Select the material (faux leather- paper thin) and set the pressure to “MORE”. Once it’s cut, don’t peel it off yet! Test that it comes out easily and smoothly. If not- run it through again.

5. Cut your vinyl using the standard grip mat. I put all my little pieces of vinyl on the same mat, and just ran it through in order. Weed your vinyl to get it ready for ironing.

6. Place your faux leather earrings on the EasyPress Mat. Follow the directions for the Easy Press Mini which in this case is 30 seconds on the lowest setting. I used a teflon sheet to protect my faux leather while using the iron. As per the instructions, peel off the protective layer while it’s still warm. I did the brown popsicle pieces first, then the neons after. Use heat-resistant tape to keep things in place so they don’t slide!

7. Add a jump ring and then an earring hook to your faux leather. Wear them with pride!

Now, let’s get into some FAQ about cutting faux leather:

Why is the Maker better than the Explore for faux leather cutting?

This is a great question! Before I got my Maker, I did use my Explore to cut faux leather. And it worked, for the most part. But, the Explore has to go over the leather twice to cut it. This can lead to the faux leather getting tangled up, especially if certain pieces cut well and then it slides over again and dislodges it. It’s also more time consuming! We know that us crafters have limited time as it is, haha.

How do I keep my leather from moving and sliding while cutting?

There are a few tricks to keep that pesky faux leather in place! First, use a Brayer to smooth the leather down and ensure a good adherence. Then, if you really want to keep it in place, add a bit of tape. I use painter’s tape and that works perfectly.

What blade do I need to cut faux leather?

You can make perfect, precise cuts using the fine-point blade.

How do I cut faux leather?

It’s really easy! Just place your leather face down on the mat- I use the purple heavy grip mat. You want to have the fabric backing facing up and the leather on the sticky side of the mat. Don’t worry- it won’t get ruined! Then, I like to use “more” pressure setting. Do your cuts, and then check that the cuts went all the way through. If they didn’t, run it through again and it’ll go over the same cuts, allowing your shapes to break free!

Can I add vinyl to my faux leather?

Yep! Cricut Iron-Ons work perfectly for this. You just want to take some precautions. Remember, faux leather is artificial- aka plastic and melts easily. So, you want to protect it as much as possible before adding your vinyl. Use a teflon sheet to avoid directly touching the leather with your heat source. Second, be efficient. I love to use my Easypress Mini because I know the exact settings. This means I can go quick and avoid unnecessary heat on my faux-leather. It’s also the PERFECT size for earrings! Cricut recommends using their EasyPress Mat which is the perfect size for laying out a few earrings and getting all that iron-on vinyl secured!

My faux leather just won’t cut- now what?

This is what’s great about the Cricut- it has a drawing feature! Switch your designs to DRAW, then load the fabric pen. This amazing pen has disappearing ink, so after you’re done trimming, use some water and the marks are gone! Allow the Cricut to do it’s thing, and you’ll have a precise template that you can now hand-cut.

Oh and PS- this GORGEOUS set of Cricut Pens is the Fine Point Pen Set- Sorbet. What dreams are made of!

I hope this post inspired you to make some faux-leather earrings too! I am LOVING my new Cricut Maker, so if you have any questions or if you’re on the fence about getting one, let me know! I can help you decide if it’s the right move for you :) I think one of the best things about the Cricut Maker is that you can create projects that you can sell, which helps you earn your money back that you spent on it! It’s really an investment piece, and a total necessity for any crafter out there!

In case that wasn’t enough, here are 5 things I love about my Cricut:

1. I can cut faux leather with ease to make gorgeous earrings.

2. The Cricut design space has thousands of amazing graphics, images and fonts that I can use to customize my projects. It’s SO easy to do, and I love that I can design then cut, all in one place!

3. I can cut a variety of materials, including paper, vinyl, leather, felt even balsa wood!

4. The Cricut is perfect for tiny details. I can draw or cut something and it’s precisely like it looked on my screen.

5. It’s really easy to go from an idea to a finished project. Everything comes out perfectly!
