Disclaimer: Our family was gifted this experience in exchange for our own personal opinions expressed in this post.  Camping has come along way since I was little.

There are endless options when staying in nature with your family that don’t even involve the traditional style tent. This past week, my family and I were fortunate…

Not our personal type of decor element however I decided to keep it anyway with the intention of re-purposing it in the future. Just shy of 4 years later and I finally dug it out of our garage to make an outdoor chandelier that would keep money in the bank and serve as a beautiful fixture to accompany our outdoor space. This minimalist do it yourself (DIY) light fixture is…
