Hi friends! My name is Sydney. I'm the resident craft queen here on the Breezing Through team. I love anything crafty or creative that lets my artistic side shine and am an expert at overambitious party decor, accent walls and the regular ADHD hyper focus. There is a wall in my kitchen that I have been debating about doing something to for a while. It's a central focal point in our home, so I knew that I wanted to do something special. There were a few things that I knew I wanted on this wall. I was adamant about adding texture and depth and knew that I wanted a bold color. I looked at different wall papers but wasn't happy with the price point. So, with no concrete plan in mind and a lot of unwarranted confidence, I grabbed some joint compound and some floral stencils and went to work.

Our front porch definitely needed a refresh. The concrete was turning green  and the wood swing I built the first year we lived here was coming apart with mushrooms growing out of it. The whole thing wasn’t a good look so I decided to overhaul the entire space.

There's so many things I want to with this room to better utilize space, make it a fun area for both kids and build a custom bed for my son. To start this process I need to utilize the space in the closet.

As most of you know, I have been gradually adding storage all over our house because it's always lacked in the storage department. Well, the day has finally come for me to share the storage cubbies that I made in my daughters room! I've shown you how I made the chair for her, how I organized all of her toys for this space, and I'm now finally done with the cubbies.

I recently started on a big project in my daughter's room: adding more cubbies. If you've been around for a little bit, you might remember that I added shelves and a play area to her bedroom a few years ago and painted them pink to match her bathroom. It's been great thus far, but over the years she's acquired a lot more stuff. She's autistic and collects things, particularly toys. So we needed more space to put her stuff. Since her room has almost zero storage I needed to come up with a solution. My mom suggested wall to wall cubbies with a desk in the middle. I'm in the process of working on that, but in the meantime I built a custom desk and chair to go with it.

I'm back with some more spring and summer tile mat designs! If you've been here for a while you know that I love my Letterfolk tile mat and I love making designs. I've been doing it for a few years now and love that I'm able to express my creativity through the mat.
