It’s been a little quiet this week around twelveOeight. I promise I didn’t take a tropical vacay, and forget to snap 1,000 pictures to share. I’ve been working around the house, purging & cleaning, pricing, did I mention purging? Ugh, the hoard is insane. I am glad I like to pick up a
Hey, hey, hey, party people! Hoping you all had a lovely weekend {a holiday weekend for lots of us} We’re ready to kick off July with another inspiring party full of your fabulousness!!
Wishing you a blessed, fun and joyful 4th of July friends, I am so excited about today’s project from Brooke. Her upcycled crafts and decorations amaze me, this one does not disappoint!! Happy 4th of July twelveOeight readers! Don’t you just love this day? So many fun reasons to celebrate! Apparently too many reasons for
I knew I couldn’t kick off summer without a new wreath. It’s just not right. I wanted to make something a bit whimsical. Something that says “I am fun, bright, a little crazy and will remind you to have fun.” And not to take ourselves to seriously, because, well…that is boring and the last thing
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. You have probably seen me share enough recipes by now to see that I follow a gluten free diet. And, for the past four months I have also reduced my carbohydrates as well, losing 32 pounds so far!!
I have a little confession to make. While I love to paint furniture and am always looking for new ideas and creative ways to paint, I have been a little hesitant to try a paint sprayer. I know. It’s probably silly, but the regular way has worked pretty well (minus a few brushstrokes) and I
Cooking pork has mystified me for years. Every time I prepared it, even following a recipe it never seemed to turn out very tender. Before I realized that wheat and I had to break up (it was a 39 year relationship so it wasn’t an easy one) I used to make this and bring it

Ok friends, so I am curious…how many of us get excited when yard sale season arrives? Does your heart beat a little faster, as you lean forward and squint a bit, scanning the bright green yard sale signs you pass by? Have you been saving for it perhaps, or noting which weekends you are heading
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of FrogTape. All opinions are 100% mine. My kids love to create (maybe it’s genetic, osmosis or purely by chance) they love to have their arts and crafts supplies handy when inspiration strikes. Little red, my youngest, is at the point that I can
Happy Summer friends!! I am so over the top, crazy excited that summer is finally here. Not that we’ve been impatient or anything right? Summer may be full of all kinds of activities, trips and outdoor fun, but I always have a little time to shop. And, I figured you might too. So, you know
This is a story of a girl who loved a challenge. Move the furniture all around, paint a few walls, and throw a dinner party all in a day kind of challenge. But with three young kids, running around with foam swords, she had her hands kind of full most days. So her DIY projects

Oh I got a big old design crush right now. Ok, probably like 27 of them. But seriously, I am loving all of the Asian-inspired decor out there right now, are you? I have always loved pagodas, bamboo, and touches of chinoiserie influenced accessories. Here are a few things I spied this week that I
I am crushing on macrame right now, like, in a big way. And since I am a 40-something mama, I do remember the first time that macrame graced our homes. It wasn’t quite as bright and fun the last time. And no one painted it or paired with with bright, funky finds and art.

Happy June, twelve0eight readers! What a wonderful time of year this is! I love the carefree days of summer, the long warm evenings, the starry nights, and I really love the 4th of July. Maybe it’s because my birthday is the day after the 4th, but it’s always been an extra special time of
Are they done yet? Mooooooooommmmmm….are they done yet? Can we have one now, like, the first ones that are done? Yes, this is a real conversation, and battery of questions all fired at yours truly while my kids waited the long and painful 5 minutes it took for me to make these SUPER cute little
It has been far too long since we did a dollar store upcycle don’t you think? Well I am excited about this quick & easy DIY clipboard, it makes such a pretty spot for notes, ideas, fabric swatches, pictures or anything to land and be seen.
Lasagna is one of my all time favorite recipes. Have you found yourself avoiding making lasagna because it dirties too many pans or dishes, and seems to take too long? Me too. Then I had to take gluten out of my life to feel better, but missed some of my favorite foods so much.
