    DIY Concrete Pedestal

    8:10 PM - By 

    Ok so it’s no secret that I love a thrifty planter makeover. I can usu­al­ly be found search­ing my local thrift store shelves at least once a week. I love the thrill of find­ing some­thing with good bones and breath­ing a fresh new life and pur­pose into it. In this case, a DIY con­crete pedestal. This par­tic­u­lar thrifty makeover was a lit­tle extra fun sim­ply because I end­ed up using it for some­thing com­plete­ly dif­fer­ent than plants. If I am being super hon­est I can bare­ly keep plants alive so hav­ing an abun­dance of planters does­n’t add any val­ue to…

    Thrifted Bookend Makeover with Quikrete

    5:39 PM - By 

    A cou­ple weeks ago I grabbed these hefty book­ends at a yard sale for $3. Real­ly the whole day of hunt­ing was a bust but find­ing these beau­ties turned the day around! That real­ly is the joy in thrift­ing and hunt­ing for those unique items. I hope this thrift­ed book­end makeover will inspire you on your next trip to the thrift store.  When you’re on the hunt I sug­gest look­ing for items with “good bones” I know I prob­a­bly wear that phrase out but it real­ly is the most use­ful tip to remem­ber. Paint, stain and in this case, con­crete…

    Makeover Monday : French Farmhouse DIY Urn

    12:49 AM - By 

    I feel like I have been on a roll at the thrift store late­ly. This thrift store urn caught my atten­tion right away with its French Farm­house DIY vibes. I paid a whop­ping 25 cents for this lit­tle piece with BIG poten­tial among some oth­er great thrifty decor finds from that day! The next time you’re out thrift­ing or maybe you find your­self pump­ing the breaks for a yard sale, keep this lit­tle urn in mind. This is one of those pieces with “good bones.” The shape, the texture…all the things are right but it just needs a lii­i­i­itle some­thing. That’s…

    DIY Rustic Island Counter Top

    8:52 PM - By 

    Sooo, as most of you may already know we have been steadi­ly work­ing on con­vert­ing an old dress­er into a kitchen island. My num­ber one goal out of this entire con­ver­sion process has been work­ing toward cap­tur­ing an old, just pulled out of a barn feel. I don’t know if that makes any sense to you but that is lit­er­al­ly the phrase I have been using to describe my vision. Rusty hard­ware (that I also DIY’d HERE) , chip­py paint…you name it. This has pre­sent­ed itself to be quite the chal­lenge but I was eager to get this part of…

    Rustic Winter Mantle Reveal 2019

    2:38 AM - By 

    I have been dream­ing of dec­o­rat­ing this man­tle and fire­place and tonight I am so exci­tied to final­ly be shar­ing it with you! The new home we just moved into has this amaz­ing con­crete stone gas fire­place with a large wood­en man­tle. Even­tu­al­ly I plan to white­wash the stone and bright­en up the entire room but this year I dec­o­rat­ed it as-is and I could­n’t be happier!  The best part of this whole set up is the nice blend of thrift­ed finds and new items that come togeth­er to cre­ate a rus­tic, yet ele­gant and cozy look.  This look all began…
