A Little Bit of Yarn

I saw this idea a few days ago, and kind of turned it into my own. I took a frame, spray painted it black, wrapped yarn around it, used some Martha Stewart glitter for the corners & K....

 

Chalkboard'ing

I have some old canisters that I have used for about 7 years now. I thought they could use a little minor makeover. So, I taped off a square on each one and sprayed them with chalkboard paint. Then I cut out an accent design on my Cricut for the edging. They turned out cute. A nice change from the plain white they have been for so long......

What's For Dinner

We grill steaks once a week, and so I thought I might share my favorite way to marinate our steaks and my Mom's yummy fully loaded mashed potato bake recipe that I love making. It is super easy, and sooooo good!! Definitely try making the potatoes sometime, you will love them!!



Montreal, Applewood Rub, Cajun, & have to use brown sugar, it makes it spicy/sweet. Yum!

Barstool Makeover

I was given these awesome barstools, which work perfect with my lower bar. I decided to spice them up a bit with some flat black spray paint and some cute decorative knobs, so I can hang things on the back if needed & it just added a little bit more cuteness to them. Now to find some material and make cushions and they will be complete! Can't wait!!

Before

Quick Canvas Painting

This was a quick canvas I painted to hang in my living room. I made this right after I got my Martha Stewart glitter collection, of course I couldn't wait to use it!!

Simple Use of an Old Frame

Saw this idea on Pinterest, but kinda made it my own. I used an old wooden frame and spray painted it black. Then I used my Cricut to cut out the vinyl to put on the glass. I also had to use my craft knife to cut the K in half and make the straight lines in the middle, that was probably the most difficult part was getting it all lined up and proportionate. I added a little Martha Stewart glitter (which I absolutely LOVE & love everything Martha has out) for the red, and that was it! Very easy and it turned out so cute! I put mine in the entry next to the front door (which i plan to paint black eventually). These would make great gifts for weddings and even new babies. I had so much fun making this, I am thinking about selling some on Etsy...what do you think?

Extra Bedroom Turned Movie Room!!

We decided since we spend most of our time watching movies and we love collecting them too, to use our extra bedroom as a "movie room". So we started by painting the whole thing, even the ceiling, dark blue. (The camera flash makes the room look bright, really its not.) Then my hubby made a secure set up out of wood to put in the window so we could hang our 55" Samsung LED TV......

Plain....for now

I have a pretty simple and plain white mantle with an awesome black glass tile look surrounding it that matches my kitchen. I have been really contemplating on painting my mantle black to give it pop and then painting the wall a creamy warm color to accent it, but haven't been brave enough to attempt to paint it! So in the mean time I just use my Cricut to cut out cute sayings and spice it up with that. Here are some pics of last year at Christmas and what it looks like this summer. And of course I have a super spooky cute makeover I am going to give my mantle next month!.......

One Fish, Two Fish...Brush Your Teeth

I love, love, love to paint!! Anything colorful and cute, and of course anything Dr. Seuss!! I think one day if we ever have a nursery, it will have to be Dr. Seuss themed some how. But anyways, this is a set of bathroom paintings I made for a friend at work. I just used acrylic and canvas, pretty simple and basic, but turned out super cute I think! ......

Oh the ideas are brewing...

I absolutely love my black front porch furniture! The creative designs are endless! I currently have it set up with red cushions and pillows, but the fall is near and I do have wonderful fall inspired creations that are brewing in my head. And I guess I forgot to mention, Halloween is my absolute favorite time of year!! And I do mean FaVoRiTe!! With that said you can bet there will be an orange & black spooky cuteness theme going on in the weeks to come, so be sure to look out for that. I CANNOT wait!!

Pillar Wall

I have this awesome pillar separating my dining and living rooms, and we found this clock at Hobby Lobby that works perfect! I just cut some cute little birds on my Cricut out of vinyl just for accent. And the picture collage in the background took a while, but i will upload a close up pic of it later.  

Gonna Give This A Try

My very first blog post, yay!! I am not the best with words & never thought about blogging, but I decided with all of the crafts and projects I have been doing lately that I wanted to be able to share and have a place to keep up with them all.

The King Family

Well...I am Holly and am lucky enough to be married to my best friend, Andrew. And for now, we have 3 furbabies; Kalvin, Kadence, & Frank. We are the King Family, so I use a lot of K's and crowns in my decorating and figured it would make a good blog name. Super creative, I know. We have been in our new house for about 2 years now and we have done A LOT to make this home "our home", & i still continue to find new projects often.

So, in my blog I will upload projects I take on, as well as random things I love that give me inspiration whether it be crafts or just life. Also, I am starting to take on cooking. (For those of you who know me, it will probably give you a good laugh!) I have been married for 7 years and I am not the greatest cook, but I am starting to surprise myself. Hope you enjoy!
