Creative Juices Decor

Well, I am not quite sure how it happened...... But we got ANOTHER dog. What if I just told you guys that I wanted another one so my house could look SUPER SNAZZY like the ones below? Now if I could only get my husband to dress like that too,  HAHAHA!  For anyone who knows my husband, that is NOT ever going to happen :-) Anyway, that wasn't why we got her :-) We got it for my daughter.  (What we do for our children, huh.) A little puppy for a little girl :-) Two little sleepy heads :-) We were told it was a Cockapoo (insert huge laugh) but once we got to the ladies house, it didn't matter if it was a cock-a-mutt. .....my daughter fell in love and we paid the Cockapoo price. :-) (I'm pretty sure it's a Lab Cocker Spaniel mix) She's adorable and a great puppy.    I'm firmly believing that our TWO dogs will add lots of PIZAZZ to any home decor photo I display on the blog...

Hi Friends! One of my most viewed posts this past year has been what my teenager daughter has discovered,  made and pinned on Pinterest . :-) The Sunshine Box or Golden Birthday gift idea has been a huge hit. Her latest Pinterest adventure was making a CANDY CAKE!  It was pretty simple. (Although she decided to make her cake and frosting from SCRATCH.  Who does that anymore?  - OH, a teenager who has a lot of time on her hands - hee, hee.)   Kit Kat and M&M Cake She used a bread loaf pan so it would be the correct height of the Kit Kat bars.  She said that if she made it again, she would use brown chocolate frosting instead of white butter cream so that it would blend in more with the chocolate bars. The top was sprinkled with M&M's - SO yummy!! Also on her Pinterest Boards were these fun young teenager ideas :-) BALI SANDALS "Simply cut a long strip of stretchy knit fabric, tuck it under a ...

I found these GORGEOUS outdoor movie theater ideas on Pinterest and wanted to share. What do you think of this?  You could add your movie screen over the fireplace of your outdoor entertainment area! OHHH YESS!!! A movie screen inside of your GAZEBO! <3 huffington post  - Ancaster Design Group Or better yet, a MOVIE while swimming in your backyard pool! :-) I'm laughing a bit at how unrealistic these photos are for us "common folks" :-) Alright, let's add some "LET'S GET REAL" backyard movie theater set up pictures! :-) I happen to have a REALLY good let's get real photo for you guys - hee,hee :-) We had to put our theater screen in our shop because it was STILL as bright as noon at 9pm and I was not going to allow a group o...

Hey Friends! If you've ever dreamed of adding an outdoor room to your home, a pergola might be the perfect solution. Today I'm sharing some beautiful pergola spaces that are full of inspiration, plus the outdoor string lights that make all the difference! Our pergola - click to see where to buy those string lights Shop the Look: Pergola Porch Essentials Outdoor string lights Patio lanterns Outdoor throw pillows Weather-resistant outdoor rugs Outdoor blankets I thought it would be fun to show you some awesome ADDITIONAL living spaces made by people that simply added a PERGOLA to the side of their home. WHO ELSE IS IN LOVE? This pergola setting is so beautiful, of course, having mature vines slipping their way around the structure makes this "picture perfect".   I love the lanterns too - I did an entire post on How to Decorate with Lanterns that will make you want to buy every lantern you see - hee,hee. Can you imagine stepping out of your living...

Hey Friends! I had a lot of fun with this little project.  My daughter LOVES those EOS chapsticks and just finished using up a few. I recently watched a video on how to refill the EOS containers with your own beeswax recipe but I really didn't feel like going out and buying all the ingredients as I just wanted to give this a shot and see how it turned out. If you are like me, you have chapsticks that are laying around the house - some of them almost all used up. Well, if you want to make your own EASY chapstick re-using those COOL EOS containers just get a glass jar and DIG OUT every last bit of the chapsticks. For those who want a little tint, cut off a chunk of an old lipstick you don't use anymore. You will need the equivalent to 3 chapsticks in the jar.  If you want to add a drop or two of essential oil for flavor/smell that adds to the fun. (peppermint is great!) Next put it in the microwave at 20 second intervals, swish around between ...
