Art Inspiration from an Unlikely Source

I follow and get inspired by several more experienced bloggers online. One of them is Kris from Driven by Decor.  She has really great taste and I just hope one day I get to be as good as her when it comes to putting things together and making them look spectacular. She has been debating for a while now whether…

How to Sew a Table Runner

Happy Monday! I am glad to share probably one of the easiest sewing projects EVER! As I was about to cut out the fabric for my dining chairs that I recovered here, I noticed that I had much more fabric than I was going to need. I realized that the measurements I needed to make new covers was half the…

DIY Batman Carved Art

Okay friends, this post has been a long time coming, but I just never seem to get around to it. Last year, you may or may not remember, I created a Batman nursery for my nephew. I am not a real “theme” kinda gal, so I wanted to create a piece of art that would be Batman themed, but still…

From Wedding Mirror to Corkboard

I have a little bit of a confession (stick around and you will probably read a lot of those), but my family inherited the hoarding gene, BAD. Both my parents have had a hard time letting go of things with sentimental value and sadly enough they passed that trait onto me. Disclaimer: We are not like those people in the…

Dresser Turned Buffet

Do you ever have anyone come up to you and say, “Hey, I know someone who is giving away some old furniture they no longer want, and since you like to redo furniture, I figured I would ask if you were interested…” Well, I do and my first thought usually is…. hmmm, why would anyone want to get rid of…

Goodwill Jewelry Box Makeover for Under $6

I was making one of my Goodwill rounds (cause it’s so hard for me to pass by that store and not go inside to see if they have any treasures!) and found this cute jewelry box for $2.92. It needed a bit of TLC…actually A LOT, cause the inside was a disaster. See what I mean?

Dining Room Reveal

We are moving forward with the dining room reveal!!!!! After we finished the chairs, it was on to paint the walls. I chose BIG CHILL by Glidden. It is a very light and cool blue that works well with all the white molding and in the space. I repainted all the trim, molding and chair rail. It needed it BAD…

Dining Chairs Before and After

A couple years ago I bought 6 dining chairs and a china cabinet off Craigslist for $125.00 total (and yeah I know, total slacker here!). I basically got the chairs for free since the china cabinet alone is worth $125.00 so it was a big score. However they all needed a lot of work. I knew I was going to…

DIY Gold Tray

Lately, I have been visiting my local Goodwill WAY TOO MUCH… That being said I have made some seriously awesome scores! You just never know when there will be something that will catch your eye. My local Goodwill puts new items out on a daily basis. No, I don’t go there that often…. yet. So now that gold is back…

Breakfast Chairs Re-Upholstered

My breakfast area chairs were looking a little worn out and just plain dull and since I could not buy new ones, I figured I would go to my FAVE store Hobby Lobby and get some fabric to re-upholster them. This is what they looked like before… YUCK! They were brown microfiber and over 7 years old. They had stains and…

Best KFC Copycat Coleslaw

Growing up I always enjoyed eating KFC’s coleslaw, but would have never thought about knowing how to make my own. I did some internet searching a couple of years ago and tried several recipes until I found the closest and BEST tasting one with a little tweak of my own of course. Needless to say, we don’t buy it anymore….

Quick Cinnamon Waffles

I don’t know about you, but my 1 year old son eats anything and everything I give him, however my 2 1/2 year old daughter sometimes needs a little coercion, especially when it comes to breakfast.  I have to get really creative sometimes. One day, I felt a little adventurous and tried a little something new.  I love the Pillsbury cinnamon buns you…

A Little About Your Latina

My name is Yami. I'm a wife, mother of 3 beautiful children and of course, your Latina next door. If you're my neighbor you will most likely here a sander, drill or a can of spray paint hard at work at any given moment (with some salsa playing the background of course). I'm grateful that I get to stay at home and document all the little, BIG or just down crazy things I come up with to make my house a home. I would love for you to join me on this adventure!

Happy Monday! We have been away for a little bit h Happy Monday! We have been away for a little bit here on Instagram taking a much needed vacation because we are about to get really busy over here.
.
If you watch our channel we just shared big news last week and our lives are about to change in an enormous way. We just purchased land and will be creating our very own homestead. We have been dreaming about this for quite some time. Last year we wanted to move forward but due to personal reasons we had to put it on hold. But for the past few months God has been calling us to pursue our dream and we finally found a little piece of heaven on earth.
.
We can’t wait to share more with you all but if you haven’t seen the video make sure to click the link in bio and head to our latest video on our channel. We are so excited about our new chapter and we can’t wait to get started. 💕

So I did a thing…. 🤪 I shared that I started So I did a thing…. 🤪
I shared that I started pouring my own natural soy wax candles 🕯this past Wednesday and our signature fragrance (Egyptian Amber) is already sold out. 😱
.
Holy moly! I’ve already ordered more of that fragrance and wax! But no worries - we still have 3 more fragrances available: Honeysuckle Jasmine with a hint of Vanilla (a special mix by me😏), Vanilla Lavender (also a custom mix) and Clean Cotton… plus tomorrow I’m adding Coconut Lime to the shop! 🤩
.
And if you’re wondering a little bit about these, these are all hand-poured by me (I’m still in the learning process but I’m getting better with each pour). I use nothing but USA grown soy wax, all natural, no dyes. These all burn clean as well. One thing I have tried to do in the past few years is make a healthier home for my family and I no longer buy mass manufactured dyed candles with artificial fragrances and harsh chemicals. One thing though is that I am very picky about scents and don’t really like what’s out there in the natural soy wax candle world so I started coming up with my own. If you like elegant, soothing and spa-like fragrances you will love the custom blends. 😍 
.
Plus, I find this so much fun too! I’m like a mad scientist experimenting with fragrances and percentages in my studio. 
👩🏻‍🔬⚗️🧪

.
I have a link in bio if you want to check these out. I also sell any leftover wax from each batch in the form of wax melts.

My mom and I went shopping for her birthday 2 week My mom and I went shopping for her birthday 2 weeks ago and we went to some thrift stores. She found 2 of these decorative pieces (swipe for the before 😬) and I gave them a makeover.

I shared all about it in today’s video. Check it out in the link in bio or find the direct link in my stories. I spent $6 on both of them and used paint I had on hand.

Sometimes simple is just better. Don’t underesti Sometimes simple is just better.
Don’t underestimate the ordinary pieces in your home that may be outdated or just lack a little character.
.
Many times we see what everyone else is buying right now and we think we need to have all those things too. I see so many people getting rid of perfectly good pieces in their home just so they could keep up with the current trends. A lifetime ago I might have felt left out (stressed out) because I couldn’t do this. Now, I could care less. 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
It’s been a while now since I have begun to appreciate more timeless pieces. Pieces with more classic looks. Pieces that are inexpensive but well made and purchased second hand. Yes, they may need a little TLC but they are oh so worth it in the end.
.
But you don’t always have to find something new to have nice things in your home. For example, my parents gave me these stools several years ago and they have been in our basement since we moved to our house. They are simple and definitely not “In style”. But I decided to give them a facelift and bring them back to life if you will.
.
Now speaking frankly, I am not in need of any stools nor do I have space for them but I hope their next owner will appreciate them and love their new look.

Color is bohemian blue by @debisdesigndiary’s DIY Paint

Today is an amazing day! Yesterday @thelatinoengin Today is an amazing day! Yesterday @thelatinoengineer11 and I did something that’s going to change our future forever and we cannot wait to share the details with you all very soon. This has been something 2 years in the making and we finally made the move we needed to make it happen. The next few months are going to be a little crazy, scary and exciting all at once, but I’m putting my trust in God that everything will go according to plan.

Today I’m sharing a furniture transformation video along with a “shop with me” tour of my mom’s favorite store @kirklands - while she was with us for her birthday the kids and I took her there. By the way, thank you for all the birthday wishes you sent her way 🥰
