Layered Crepe Cake -Fourth of July Themed
Today’s post we are featuring a Fourth of July themed layered crepe cake. I would describe this cake as fresh, light and just the right amount of sweetness. To make the crepes we used a vintage Sunbeam electric M’sieur Crepe Maker. You can still find them places like Etsy, Offer-Up, eBay or Craigslist. “Cucina” makes a crepe maker that work identically to the one we used and you can purchase it here on Amazon. These electric crepe makers make the crepe making process super simple. you simply dip the pan in the batter and the heated pan cooks the crepe. It slides off the non-stick pan with ease. Click the…

The cornhole game has brought many hours of joy and entertainment to our lives on a weekly basis. This is our favorite game to play as a family and the game truly never gets old! My dad has become the cornhole guru in our family so he is the guest creator on Stunning Misadventures this week!

DIY Tree Stump Planter
Today’s post is about our DIY tree stump planter we made in the stump of our 80-year-old fallen oak tree. The tree was huge!! The original oak covered about ¼-⅓ of our quarter acre lot with it’s branches. It really was an awesome tree. After it split, it was dangerous so we had no choice but to take it down. We decided to leave the stump a little taller than normal and use it in some creative way. In 2015, we made the stump into a table with an umbrella. After four years of exposure to the elements, the table top warped and the tree had started to rot. So…

DIY Rustic Wood Privacy Screen Fence
I am so happy to share our DIY rustic wood privacy screen fence with you today. About five years ago, a massive oak tree in our backyard split during a storm. Let me tell you, this was no small oak tree! We live on a quarter acre lot and this oak tree shaded about one-third of our backyard. Our Fallen Oak Tree Due to the way, the tree split we were forced to cut the entire tree down. If left there was a risk of it falling on our home. Cutting Down Our Oak Tree After cutting the tree down we ended up with a massive pile of wood rounds.…

DIY Farm Style Dining Furniture Transformation
Today we are posting about our DIY farm style furniture transformation. I have always loved farm style decorations. In the 1990s, it was called country style. Even back then, buffalo plaid, galvanized metal and chippy wood furniture was a thing. I have to admit, I did go through a modern decorating phase in the early 2,000’s when Crate & Barrel’s CB2 was really popular. All the decor had a very funky almost 1960 hippy look to it. I truly think it appealed to my spontaneous wild side. During this phase of my life, we purchased a very sturdy kitchen table with rolling cane back chairs that we still own. The…

DIY Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Today’s post is about DIY Mother’s day gift ideas. As a mother, some of the most meaningful gifts I have ever received were the ones made by my children. Through the years, I have recieved many store bought gifts from my children (and I loved those gifts). The only thing is, now years later I can’t recall very many of those gifts. On the other hand, if you held up one of my cherished gifts handcrafted by one of my kids, I could tell you exactly who made it. Not only that, every time I reminisce about these DIY gifts I revisit the love I felt when receiving them. Now…

DIY Front Porch Sign
Today our post is about a simple DIY front porch sign we made out of old fence boards. We love recycling fence boards into farmhouse decor. While shopping at Hobby Lobby we found these darling large metal letters. Immediately we knew we wanted to make something with them. We were already talking about painting a “HOME” sign for the front porch. The letters were so cute, we loved the font and they were a perfect size so we picked up the letters H, M, and E. The pre-made letters made our “HOME” sign a very easy build. Supplies and Tools: (2) aged fence boards cut to 5 feet (2) 1′…

DIY Monitor Cover
Today’s post is a DIY Monitor Cover. Monitor screens can honestly become the hiding place of a massive web of wires. At one point in time, we had three game systems all hooked up to one monitor and let me tell you there were wires everywhere!!! Thankfully, we have downgraded to only one gaming system. Even with only one system there are still wires and stuff to hide. We have created two different styles of monitor covers that we are going to share with you today. The first one has a vertical sliding front panel so it can be mounted in a small space. The second one has two panels…
