Yesterday I was working on a sign and decided last minute to do a timelapse video. Pardon the general grubbiness of my ponytail and clothes. It was a work day. These will give you a good idea of the process I go through to paint a sign. Timelapse Video – Aimee Weaver Designs from Aimee […]

First of all, I’ll just say that I’m not an expert at making upholstered headboards. Or writing tutorials. I forget to take pictures of the process, because I JUST WANT IT DONE. But the hubs and I created a headboard for our bed a couple weeks ago, and I thought I’d share the process.  I […]

Hi friends! Wow, the blog has been quiet for the past few weeks. That typically means that I am working my heart out on a project. And that was the case this time. I’ve been having SO MUCH FUN playing with watercolors and trying out fancy French watercolor paper that I ordered here. The main […]

Ok, so you guys know that I’m not a great cook. It’s not that I don’t know how. I just don’t want to. Should I be embarrassed for saying that? I feel like I should be. I do LOVE to eat though. So, to all my foodie friends out there, if you want me to […]

When I’m at home, I tend to be a goal-oriented, list-checker-offer, always on task, productive machine. I blame it on my German heritage. What can I say? But take me on away on vacation, minus the off-spring, and I can become totally LIFELESS. In a really good way. Last weekend was a prime example. Every […]

Happy Monday friends! Today I wanted to introduce you to a store that my sister-in-law and brother-in-law have just opened in our area. It’s called The Flower & Home Marketplace (formerly The Flower & Craft Warehouse) in Blue Ball, Pa. They have been renovating the space for the past few months, and it looks absolutely […]

You guys. Thank you so much for the many comments and emails of support that you sent me in the past few days when I posted about adoption. It can be such a hard process, but it makes it so much easier to feel support all around us. So, THANK YOU. There have been a […]

Customizable monogram sign “He has made everything beautiful” wood sign “They who wait on the Lord” wood sign “This is the Life” wood […]

I am so excited to introduce you to a brand new local store that is carrying my artwork! It’s called The Treasure Place and it’s located in the town of Intercourse. I don’t typically do wholesale orders, but after speaking with the owners about their vision for the store, it seemed like a perfect fit. […]

I mentioned that I’m planning on making a new headboard for our bed, and I’ve been scouring the internet for ideas. We currently have a queen-sized bed and have decided to move up to a king-size. We ordered this mattress and needed to either buy a new headboard or make one ourselves. Of course, I […]

I first discovered my love of painting when I started painting second-hand furniture for our house about seven years ago. Some of my favorite makeovers include this coffee table and this armoire,  Lately, I haven’t had much time to paint furniture, BUT I felt the itch a few weeks ago and stopped in at Goodwill to see […]

I recently changed up the gallery wall in our family room behind our couch, and I thought I’d share it today, along with some other inspiration pics I found online. As with most things I do, I didn’t think too far ahead with the layout of the wall. I just started hanging things and adjusted […]
