I have always had good intentions to make homemade cards. Over the years, I’ve accumulated a variety of cardstock, scrapbook paper and cards for parties and other crafting endeavors. So, why didn’t I make my cards? Mostly laziness and insecurity that my cards wouldn’t be as good as a store-bought.

This post brought to you by Flood® Wood Care. All opinions are 100% mine.
I am a notorious painter. But, a stainer, not so much. We've only taken on a few large staining projects in our years of DIYing – namely our hardwood floors in three homes and the deck.
And since Ryan is really the one who did all...

Here’s one weird thing about blogging – people assume you divulge everything about your life in the Internet. And usually, I’m pretty much an open book. But sometimes, things don’t make it onto NewlyWoodwards.
Because something doesn’t seem exciting enough. Or it’s a bit of a downer. Or...

You may have noticed that our blog has changed a bit in the past few months. That’s because we migrated NewlyWoodwards from Blogger to WordPress. And by we, I mean my friend Laura did all the work. (You should be used to me outsourcing the hard things to more competent people like my husband and smart friends.)

Another quick update for our living room since adding our new sofa. It was time to make a quick change to the end tables (well, one end table and one ceramic garden stool). My mother-in-law had a quart of Duck Egg Blue Chalk Paint that I used for a quick spruce-up.

It’s nearly Mother’s Day, and there’s still plenty of time to make something special for your mom.
(This is also serving as a not-so-subtle reminder to my husband, since this is my very first Mother’s Day as a mom. So, you know, get me something sparkly. )
Anyhoo, this is a project we did last...
Bathroom before and afters

Authors: Kim@NewlyWoodwards
Since I talked yesterday about ways to make your bathroom an oasis, I thought I should give you a full tour of our one and only bathroom. I’ve never really done a comprehensive post with before and after images. And despite it being practically as small as is legally allowable, it’s not all that short of a...
